Communal Changing Room at Gym No privacy!

[ReturnToGym]

Loving the gym and need to get fit/lose weight. Hating the communal changing room. There is dry change and wet change at our gym. Wet change has cubicles but very humid in there. Dry change is lovely and air conditioned. Lovely showers. But why don't they have a couple of individual changing cubicles for those of us who are self conscious about changing in front of others? Anyone else's gym like this?

Yes mine is. I’m just used to it now.

I don’t think it works, having a couple of changing rooms because people leave their things in there and it causes a lot of drama.

If I’ve had a shower, I put on a towelling tracksuit (next) and crocs. I don’t mess about putting proper clothes on. I’ve also got a towel that buttons around me. But I really don’t think people are looking at one another.

I expect it’s because most people who are changing in there aren’t getting naked. They’re like changing into leggings. Honestly, I wouldn’t really give a toss who saw me in my pants. Most people probably come dressed and go home that way. The ones who are actually getting naked are having a shower so they change in the shower.

Can you try a different gym.

Mine has 4 cubicles and as long as I avoid when the aqua gym
class comes out I can always get one.

Luckily my gym has a couple of cubicles. I swim so wouldn't be comfortable changing in a communal area. If I have a class, I just go in my gym gear and change at home. No need for a changing room then
