And people shower after gym class? We only have 5 minutes for passing time and we go to the locker room 5 to 10 minutes from passing time.
I keep hearing that, and my response is the same as ever (read the rest of the thread if you will): Gross.
Either everyone you know sweats obscene amounts or you're just super-sensitive to this stuff. 50 minutes of P.E in my school NEVER got anyone to the level where they NEEDED a shower.
I already had this discussion...

I don't know how it works over there, but it would seem gym class in the US/UK isn't really as heavy as over here.
Many times, at the end of class, I have figuratively been crawling along the floor and dying for a shower. And I'm in good shape. One example would be the endurance training I mentioned in that post I linked.
Running an obstacle course at pretty much full intensity for the duration of the class will get you pretty damn sweaty.
I don't know how it is where you go/went to school, but where I go to school, if you're not breaking a sweat during gym class, you're doing something wrong.
The shower not only washes of your sweat. It's very rejuvenating.
It's absolutely lovely to be able to shower and feel fresh and cooled down after having worked out.
