    Why do gyms have open showers?

    Most of the people do not like them, some even do not go to certain gyms because they have open showers.
    So from the business stand point - why would a new gym build open showers?
    I see the point that they want to save money on water as people would shower less and for shorter times (it is uncomfortable for many people so they want to get out as fast as possible or even shower at home).

    Besides all the gfy jokes, what is the real reason?

      The showers are the only reason I go to the gym.

      The real reason is because if a dude is actually working out then his is most likely a cocksucker.

          weird, in the last 15+ years i have been to several gyms in wide area of my part of town and all of them had closed showers.

          and i don't live exactly in the first world country.

              Can confirm - Nearly all showers in austrian gyms are open, but actually nobody cares.

                  GYM is a manly place. You come there to pump iron, wash up an go home.

                  If you're a metrosexual scared that someone would see yout tiny pee-pee, you should find some girly spa place instead.

                              But from the business stand point - you can not lose "metrosexual" clientele.

                                  Good question. I guess is to allow body shaming.

                                      I am not worried about my pee-pee, more likely about other people pee-pee

                                              I was trying once new gym and i left after one month because shower was inside locker room so basically impossible to avoid seeing someone pee-pee, as some people dont bother to cover themself while they are still inside shower.

                                                  So the owners can secretly video tape you and make money off the videos. In your case people pay to not see your shower video

                                                      I don't see the point of open showers with such strict rules:

                                                          his point is men shouldn't give a shit either way. we aren't delicate little flowers that need our privacy, we are just hosing off after a workout.

                                                          mostly it's easier for gym's to clean than having to clean out stalls.

                                                              I've only seen open showers at yoga studios these days. I haven't seen open showers in gyms for a long time -I feel most gyms have retrofitted those; at least here in Toronto

                                                                  That may be a fair point, but the reality is that most (or at least many) would prefer otherwise. Thus, from a business stand point, open showers may lead into you losing customers (as Klentelaris did for example).

                                                                              Again, you are so cool, but my wondering came from the business stand point.

                                                                              That is no surprise as it makes you more money by not losing some customers.

                                                                              And I was not surprised about older gyms having that, maybe back in the day business and marketing sense was at a lower level so to speak, but when I saw brand new gyms, pools etc building open showers I was just curious about their business sense.
                                                                              I mean surely you will attract the likes of miamiboyz, so maybe that was one of the pluses from $$ perspective

                                                                                  again, you missed the point.. That is not the reality, that is what YOU believe.

                                                                                  Men don't care... Men don't require comfort, we just need hot water. Since most males, especially the ones who frequent gyms, are not lacking in testosterone or shy nancies that give a shit what others see this isn't an issue for us. In fact, most guys care more about equipment than showers anyway.

                                                                                  Private stalls take more time to clean because you have to clean them individually as opposed to bleaching and hosing one area all at once. More corners, more work, more time to clean = more overhead. Some newer gyms will have them, but mostly just in the womens change rooms.

                                                                                              So from the business stand point - why would a new gym build open showers?
                                                                                              I see the point that they want to save money on water as people would shower less and for shorter times (it is uncomfortable for many people so they want to get out as fast as possible or even shower at home).

                                                                                              Besides all the gfy jokes, what is the real reason?

                                                                                                      Every now and then you would see a guy standing in the shower wearing swim trunks. The irony of being that self-conscious and insecure is that it only draws more attention and creates bad assumptions.

                                                                                                      Own yourself. Worrying about what others think of you is a waste of energy, particularly because nobody is thinking about you near as much as you think.

                                                                                                                                                                              That some "tough" men do not mind and some "pussies" mind, we already established
                                                                                                                                                                              I think it's more about inner confidence. A lot of men are obsessed with Dick size = masculinity and sexual prowess. I know that whatever my size, my stamina, and technique beats all those extra inches.
