Yeah some employees are very insecure and ask to cover up. I go to planet fitness and I just strip before I get into shower and then I walk naked to the changing section. I don't care if anyone sees, we are all guys in a guys locker room lolThats crazy! Used to be locker rooms were bastions of male nudity. Now not so much. Havent been to the gym for a while because of the lockdown and the rules to use the gym are so onerous now, but prior to the virus crisis, very few guys walked around nude in the LA Fitness locker room (Phoenix. I did!). At one LA Fitness I was at the sink washing my hands, nude, and an employee told me to cover up. In the locker room!!!! In the 80s, up in Seattle, guys in whatever gym were always nude, and completely so in the sauna and steam rooms. Not now, and often new clubs have co-Ed spas. Yuck. Locker rooms certainly arent as much fun as they used to be. :(
Our pool has just opened again so I am naked as much as possible in the locker rooms. Strip off when I get there, wander around sorting my gear, swim (speedos on) and return. I shower with the cubicle door open as do some other guys my age, I don't take a towel with me so I wander back to my gear naked when ready. I'm not sure when this sudden locker room shyness started but it is stupid and illogical, it is where you go to get changed separate to women. I'll continue with my efforts to normalise nudity in the locker room, how crazy is that.
