    i have seen some pretty bad showers i remember wearing my running shoes in a shower in a small truck stop in Georgia ( cant remeber the name) buit it looked like a dirt floor in the shower

    now i have a habit of looking for a local weight lifting gyms (listed on my GPS) for the cost a day pass (about 10 bucks ) you get to work out and use a shower and most have hot tubs

    Thats a great idea if your paying cash
    But will get costly if you "need" to use your fuel points for a free shower

    I live 20 min from this truck stop but have taken a shower there it is nice but it is the only Petro that I have taken a shower in. We usually shower at TA and Pilots. Have also showered at the Loves off of I-75 in N Baltimore,OH because I use to work there. I needed a shower so I took one. They were clean when I worked there. I always carry a shower bag with everything in it flip flops extra towel and wash cloth and all the other things you would need for a shower

    i find that the gym cost is justified because i eat my meals in my truck i dont have to go into truckstops at all which saves me money ( im adicted to video an crane games ) so i just stop at truck stops for fuel and leave parking elsewhere

    Plus i need my work outs great stress relif

    This is a great idea. For the cost of 1 or 2 buffets you can get something you really need worse. Do yo have trouble finding gyms that have adequate parking for a rig? A workout, sauna, good long shower is exactly what I would like after a day of BS.:biggrin_25526:

    Heck yeah. Sapp Bros. in Denver. Shower #1.....I second the vote.

    GIGANTIC tub. Big enough to float in- and I'm not a small person!! Normally I wouldn't be using a truckstop tub. This shower is exceptional. Better than anything at Little America. I soak in the tub then go spray off in the huge shower with 4 showerheads (regular showerheads and 2 "rain" showerheads on the ceiling) and 2 horizontal spray nozzles designed to hit you right in the middle of your back....ahhh. Totally rejeuvenating. Great shower for a couple....I drive with my husband and this shower is made for 2 people. Plenty of room. And yes, a seperate little room for the potty....excellent touch.

    We'll gladly shower here and pay cash, if we're not getting fuel. But because of this shower, the decent people who work here, the decent food and the shop that's always fair and reasonably priced, we've made this our regular fuel stop, even if the TA is a couple cents cheaper. We end up in Denver about 3-4 times a month, at least.

    I can't BELIEVE I ever used to go to the craptastic TA down the road....always a 45 minute wait for the shower & they're filthy. And the food sucks.

    Hey Yesterday I stopped at the Center Point Travel Center in Center Point IA, The showers were really clean and it only cost seven dollars if you didn't fuel. also had a large paved lot and the whole place was clean. Only draw back to the place was they had fast food. MC'Ds Subway...

    Flying J would be my 1st choice for a shower, but I've run across a few non-chains that were like paradise. I usually worry more about me getting the place all dirty than anything else so go figure. lol
