I lived out of my Toyota 4runner for 5 months. I would go to the Planet Fitness in the morning, take a long shower using their soap and hot water, do some exercise, and leave.

Membership was $5 a month (for a 3-year contract.

Now I live in Romania and gym memberships are $50-70 a month but people actually go there

Why would you shower before exercising and not after?

Oh my, this thread is wild... someone else takes 30 minutes or longer showers at the gym and thinks that's totally normal :D

I showered to also wash my hair. Can't work out looking all messy, what would others think?

Bad hair in the gym is a no-go but being at least some amount of sweaty all day isn't?

Fortunately my workouts were short and of the anaerobic nature so I didn't really break into a sweat.
