I am wanting to find a gym that has communal/gang style showers. I have tried several gyms around here and haven't found one yet. I think it would be cool to try it out. Looking in northern Kentucky or Southern Ohio areas.

This is my favourite topic and apologies if I'm boring anyone with it. In my opinion, you're in the wrong country. Here you'll find open gang showers in the majority of establishments - in fact nearly all the non-pretentious ones.

I thought a persons priorities in joining a gym were, the equipment / amenities they offer; and how easy it was to get there. I did not know that open shower were a driving force in the selection process
Well it seems you've found an exception to this rule :) For me, it's all of the above, but the open shower might swing the decision. As I've said above, for me the open shower criteria is academic, as here it's almost universal.

If you have a Y near you, check it out. Most of them in Canada still have open showers. My current Y does. It's the reason why I chose this gym out of many to get a membership for the following reasons:

1. I want to encourage this type of setup, so I support gyms that still use it.

2. It attracts a more relaxed and friendlier clientele than gyms that have private shower stalls. I have experienced this in the same city as my current Y, so it's not just a regional factor.

3. It's cleaner. Shower stalls are usually filthy.

Me either. But it's a good way to bond with other guys.

What's the reason behind wanting an open/communal shower? I have my assumption and am guessing most people are thinking the same...

Open shower and private showers at our local city rec center. They are split between 2 separate locker rooms. The pool locker room has the open shower, with 3 heads. The weight and fitness building has 3 stall showers, with curtains. The open shower has curtains on the two openings going into the open area but the are not wide enough to completely cover the opening when closed.
Sadly, all of these showers are rarely used. Must not get enough business.
