List of gyms with open/communal showers?

So does anyone have any experience with crunch fitness? I used to go to Planet Fitness but stopped around covid for a variety of reasons... they had changing stations next to their individual showers and no sauna. The crunch fitness that is opening near me (same price, like cheap $10/month) will have a sauna and also won't have any changing stations, just the individual showers...so I'm assuming this will promote more nudity...hopefully?

Being honest I've needed a cheap gym to go to and obviously being on this site enjoy the casual motivation of both male and female eye candy. Never sat in a sauna before and/or been to a crunch in general. Ours opens late July so I'd love to know what to expect... and what I can do to just throw out some show off/I like your cock vibes without getting thrown out.

Because they are cheaper...they tend to be very crowded at times. My experience was that they were crowded but clean. People tended to use the sauna by just taking off their shirt...wearing shorts and gym shoes. A few people showered at the gym...mostly those going to work.
 
In general, based on my travels across country the past 5 years [to visit each remaining open cs] your statement is mostly correct; in the majority of the USA , open showers are not widely used by the 18-35 age bracket.

HOWEVER, there are notable exceptions where because of long standing culture of the establishment, you will see groups of boys still in hs who proudly use cs as intended; Flagstaff Athletic Club, PrimeTime Fitness, Lake Norman Y, Red Bank Y, Bartlesville Y, Shasta Athletic, etc so it does happen and awesome to see
Can confirm. I happened to stop by FAC West earlier this spring on a road trip from Phoenix to Vegas. On a Monday night there were a surprising amount of young fit guys using the open showers. I haven’t seen that many guys in that 18-25 age bracket so comfortable with nudity anywhere else. It was refreshing to see. There was nothing cruisy about it, just guys being guys. Thanks for your tips, they’ve been spot on.

Right! Like honestly I just want a gym that's got guys being comfortable being nude...I just hated when I was at planet fitness and they had the changing stalls, so guys would go from the locker room to the stall to the shower like some guilt tripped church goer. The crunch fitness in my city opens up in 2 weeks so I'm switching. I convinced a couple stroke buds to sign up since unlike PF it has a sauna (and also no changing stations which hopefully promote more locker room nudity). Don't necessarily care if I get any action as the main purpose is to work out, but really just want a place where people are more openly nude and accepting of their bodies.

Now if a guy gives me a quick feel in the sauna, not gonna complain haha.
 
Back in the early 80s, Bowling Green State University's Recreation Center had a large room of open showers and a men's sauna where you could hang out naked. There were lots of ethnic groups in Northern Ohio, Italians, Jews, Polish, Hungarians, Greeks, so the amount of pubic hair you saw was substantial. One maintenance worker got naked to fix the sauna; handsome, hairy and a mammoth cock. He tried to pick me up when he saw me in the showers. If I wasn't so closeted at the time, I would have responded in his favor.

I wonder if the same set up is there today.

Well, did he at least repair your closet? ;)

Wow, I could have written this post. lol.. I currently go to PF since 2020, but have been going to gyms since my mid-20's, I'm 68. My "Crunch" gym is scheduled to open this Winter, and I miss saunas.

I can’t think of a single communal shower place I’ve seen in the Chicago area. Such a bummer.
What part of Chicago? I spent 20 years in Downers Grove. The DG YMCA 'had' gang showers and a sauna. I left 10 years ago, but that gang shower, back then, was hot (sometimes, lol).

Haha that's too funny! I'm trying to start going more consistently and gotta admit it's a great motivator to see the hot asses and sports bras of women and the cocks in the locker room...just wanna have a place that gives me an opportunity to be nude in front of others!

I’ll look into it. I live near Downers. Hope it’s still the same!!!

There are a few. The Irving Park YMCA has communal showers. The Lakeview Y has an old communal shower area with small partitions between shower heads. A few of the Chicago Park District club houses still have communal showers. Gill Park comes to mind. King Spa has all open showers Korean style in the men's wet area where nudity is mandatory. And Steamworks has communal showers.
 
Do you know if that map is still updated?
Yup, as much as technically possible which relies on guys to report renovations.
Theres a member on the communal shower subreddit [cdilfer] who adds / removes based on information shared with him.
Is the map perfect? Hell no, but a solid resource. Also, there are still “unknown” locations that aint on the map and when you know of one, should share either on this thread or that subreddit. [when I uncover a good spot I post on here & the subreddit]
