Why not shower wearing swimming shorts, and then have a proper shower at home bro?

You've asked for advice, and you've been given it. Its your choice to take it and follow it. :)

May Allaah guide you youngsters nowadays.

You could just wash your upper body part, mainly armpits and so forth, there and then wash propely at home.
 
The gym I go to has more "individual" showers (like a washroom stall but with a curtain instead of a door). I think this really is the best thing. If that's not possible, then the bathing suit thing is one option, ortherwise you could always do "the essentials" with a face cloth (face, underarms, back, etc...). and do the rest at home.

PS Bring flip flops! Please! You have no idea what kind of nasty things you can get from walking around barefoot (I have a friend who ended up with warts and athlete's foot)!!!!
 
ok I have two things here

1) I two go to a gym and take a shower, my gym however has individual showers, which is nice, but I guess some people like to flaunt around nude afterwards.. Is it OK for me to shower there knowing there could be a weirdo walking around the corner naked? I pay them no attention, but they are around occasionally

2) During the summer I often walk around shirtless for example when I cut my grass, when I go running, any outside work, and even just hanging around the house... Granted no one really can see me except when I go running or if I am working somewhere away from the house, hopefully the point is conveyed.. Also what about the beach, I own some timeshares and my family visits every year a few times, I pretty much never where a shirt while I am there, is this permissible?
 
I think a man's 3awarah is from the naval to the knee.. so shirtless at the beach is normal?.. as for weird naked men, well that can happen any time and anywhere, especially in NY :lol: it is best to 'tghod albasar' as in avert your vision
and Allah knows best..

lol.. if only I share with you, half of the things I have seen in my life.. mostly on the job bloopers you wouldn't believe me.. I swear they couldn't script weirder things than have happened to me.. but I'll hold on to those until the appropriate moment, like when at a dinner or speaking to someone important.. there is no better way to break the ice than a more awkward moment you've had the pleasure of beholding at some other point in your life ;D

I used to go to the gym a few times a week back several years ago until I bought my own equipment which I use at home every week.

I didnt use the showers as I used to cycle it home and take a shower there. If it was stormy day then I would drive home and again shower at home. It saved me having to bring in some fresh colthing whilst keeping it crease free etc.

I suppose its your own preference. I was tought to keep the part between your navels to knee covered at all times. I wouldnt want no one looking at that area whether it be in the showers at the gym or elsewhere; especially no man.

Best to keep your self covered someway (shorts), whilst taking a quick shower and have a proper one at home. Then again, you could wipe yourself down with a towel, underarms etc and put on some clean temporary clothes. Bus it home and have a shower etc.

Or just get yourself a bike and bike it home like I did with the added benefits knowing it will tone you up.

Whatever advise you take, Im sure you'll choose the correct path,
May allah swt guide you in righteousness; Ameen.
