PureGym showers

So I’ve recently joined the gym, I’m not in the best shape, but I’m trying. After I’ve done my workout, I’ve been going home to have a shower but it would be so much easier and saved so much time if I could just have a shower at the gym and then go Straight on the school run, My question is at my gym the shower is like glass and it’s frosted You can’t see everything just a silhouette of the person, but to be honest, I’m not very confident with my body at the moment. Trying to get the confidence to have a shower there I was thinking about maybe putting a towel up at the door. Not sure if that will work. Has anyone tried that, What’s everyone’s thoughts to make it a bit more modest?

Honestly, no one cares about you. They’re just trying to get clean and get out of there.

I used to shower in my swimming costume at my old council gym - where the showers were just open with no door!

If it will make you feel better then why not? My gym towel is from Amazon and it’s one of those Turkish towels and it’s huge. If you can chuck it over the door then it’s an easy fix. I also take a thin dressing gown if I’m drying my hair because it’s easier.

Where I go, nobody covers up at all or takes any notice of what anyone else is doing.

I go to a pure gym and I have genuinely never thought twice about anyone’s body in or out of the shower. PP suggestion is good about a towel over the door.

The most anyone will think is ‘oh there’s someone in that one’

Put your towel over the door, but really, nobody cares. Nobody looks. Nobody cares.

whichwayisuptoday · 18/05/2026 13:23

I do hate the nobody cares comments. The OP cares so is looking for a solution. I'd definitely cover the glass door.

Hang you towel over the glass

If I hang my towel over the door I'm worried it'll either get wet or someone will steal it and run away (obviously this has never happened so it's the best solution OP).

Nobody looks at anybody on the gym floor or gym showers. You are overthinking this.
Be proud, walk proud from shower to locker. And well done for joining the gym!

@didntlikeanyofthesuggestions thanks that’s what I was a little bit worried about as well somebody running off with my towel 😂 Or it’s slipping off. I’m just a bit body conscious at the moment I know it’s silly.

It'll be fine - and once you're used to it and been going for longer, your confidence will grow even more.

No one will take your towel , do it ! They’ll just think you’ve hung it to keep it dry . Well done for getting in the gym :)

You can't see anyone in there, and ours ae round the corner from the main bit of the changing room anyway. My main beef is they are the type you have to keep pressing. I don't bother with a shower and just have one at home, but they do have hairdryers and so on, so it would definitely work to go straight to school run after.

Steal it and run away 😂
