- Showering at the gym becomes necessary when you're squeezing workout time into your busy schedule.
- You can maintain an efficient yet effective skin-care and hair-care routine by packing the right products in your gym bag.
- Three busy fitness instructors shared the products they use to master the shower gym. They include moisturizing facial creams, body washes made of simple ingredients, and dry shampoo.
Whether you go to the gym in the morning, middle of the day, or evening, how to freshen yourself up after a sweaty workout is an inevitable conundrum to face. If you'd rather not show up to work or dinner and announce through appearance and smell that you just worked out, the gym shower is where you'll find yourself. It's no spacious, high-pressure system like the shower you have at home, but it'll get the job done.
No one has been in more gym showers and understands the struggle of transitioning from gym to regular life than fitness instructors, who hop between gyms and other commitments as their job. Through experience, they've developed fail-safe rosters of skin-care and body-care products that mimic their home routines and help them clean up efficiently.
We consulted three fitness trainers from Talent Hack, an employment and networking platform for fitness professionals, to find out what products live in their gym shower bag. The number of products is low - five to six per person - because they (and you, too) want to travel light. Accordingly, each product must be versatile, high quality, and highly effective.
See the 15 personal care products fitness instructors use to make showering at the gym a breeze below.
