I was homeless for three months and I did the exact same thing . Planet fitness was my shower and bathroom . Funny I never worked out those 90 days . You have a subscriber

[@livinginacar6690]

Most people who got planet fitness don’t even go to it because it’s so cheap. But I’m exactly the same way too. for two years I only use it for showers. $24 a month for nation is not bad or $10 for locals

[@ricksclips]

Do the showers have hot water?

@Ganjababe420 go inside in confidence anf enjoy your shower no one in this world can judge you !

[@nelsonamoreno6841]

That's want to do in case living in my own car

[@grabbasmoke7961]

I make average $3,500 - $8,500 every two weeks. I have been storing my clothes in storage units, sleeping in my car and showering at planet fitness for about a month. I’m gonna keep doing this until I’m able to buy a nice amount of land. It’s good not having to pay rent for this short period of time. I can put all my money into my business. Then I can relocate to where I want when I’m I have enough saved up to move. I know god got me. I walk by faith and not by sight.

When is the last time u showered in a truck stop, pilot, TA, loves and Petro all have really nice showers now. Only bad ones I see are at mom n pop truck stops. I became a switcher at Ford after 2 million safe miles but after companies started sticking inward facing cameras in the trucks I quit truck driving. Last I drove was 2016 and showers were free after 50 gallons of gas or diesel, paying cash was 10 bucks which is outrageous. ..when I did pay I got my money's worth and shaved every hair off my body taking over an hour lol

excellent video

[@pawbiter]

I am a "gym rat" who goes to the gym 5 or 6 days a week. I go to work out, and I am known by most of the regular members. So I will tell you, most of us do not view you "travelers" or homeless people any differently, as long as you are considerate of other members. I will mention here some of the things I have emcountered, which led to homeless people being thrown out.Sleeping in the bathrooms or locker rooms. Or just sitting in the locker room for entended periods - I mean, if someone is just sitting there when I first arrive and put my things in a locker that is not a problem. But an hour later when I come in there and start getting undressed for my shower and that person is still sitting there, that is creepy. I have even seen some people sitting in there eating food they brought in. Another thing that advertises someone is homeless is if they carry in a huge duffelbag with all their life's possessions, and even hang it on the little towel hook by the shower stall instead of putting it in a locker like everyone else does. And one more thing, if someone comes in reeking of cigarette smoke that stinks up the whole locker room, that is a dead giveaway that they are not there to work out but rather to hang out. I have learned that the gym scene is all about respect. Repecting oneself as well as respecting the others who are there. That applies to all members, whether homeless or not.

[@Fydnow]

Are the showers still open across country? I know in California it's different, but other states?

I only felt like that once, when I was in the Bay Area, Cali. It’s because there always constantly dealing with homelessness I guess. But besides that no never.

But then, my gym has doors and not curtains, so it is not as someone can just walk in as easily. I want to make known I do not hate the Alphabet Group.
