Think about it this way... if you're out all day and you smell a bit when you come home, if you head to the gym without showering then you're going to smell bad already and THEN start smelling worse when you sweat.
If you take a shower beforehand you are likely putting on fresh deodorant/antiperspirant and you go in clean, meaning when you are done and sweaty it won't be as bad as if you were a dirtball beforehand.
I had to tell a deaf strip club customer one day that he smelled terrible. It was his third or fourth visit, and every time the girls had the same complaint. You could smell him across the bar (not the whole building but the bar itself), he wanted lap dances but the girls couldn't stomach the smell. I could barely handle it.
Him being deaf it wasn't an easy situation, I couldn't just walk up and tell the guy he stunk and he needed to leave. So after writing and throwing away about 40 notes on a bar napkin, collectively (the bar staff) we decided that it was simple to just flat out tell him to leave, take a look at his personal hygiene and come back another time. He came back about a week later and smelled fine. He wrote that he apologized and he didn't know he smelled bad. Something about an allergy to deodorant and that he found one of those stone things to use. He kept coming back and I've even seen him at other clubs and he's always been super friendly.
Sometimes you'll get the people that are completely embarrassed, other times they just don't know, or they just don't care.
If it bothers you and it's reoccuring, say something.
Don't pass it off to management unless you really have to, we are people too and we don't like doing it either.
