Can you save energy costs by using the gym instead of a bath?

■ Cases where the utility costs of the bath are even higher

The above utility bills are the sum of the water and gas bills for heating the bath once. However, the utility costs for one bath are not limited to this. If you reheat the bath,
the gas bill will be higher. If you turn on the bathroom light while bathing and use the bathroom dryer after bathing, you will of course be charged for electricity. If you use a hair dryer to dry your hair after bathing, you have to add the electricity bill for that. Considering these utility costs, the utility cost for bathing for one month is  as a guideline.

In other words, if you go to the gym every day and take a bath, you can save about  in a month .

Is it OK to use the gym instead of taking a bath?

Many people may be wondering, “Is it possible to use a gym instead of a bath in the first place?

General gyms are equipped with baths and showers for sweating after training or swimming. If you are a member of the gym, you can use facilities such as baths and showers. Not only can it be used after exercise, but it can also be used as a “bath alternative” without exercise.

Benefits of using a gym instead of a bath

In addition to saving money, you can expect various benefits such as the following by using the gym instead of taking a bath.

<Benefits of using a gym instead of a bath>

• Saves on heating costs
• Relax in the spacious baths and saunas
• Save time cleaning the bathroom
• more free time
• You can build a healthy body

Let’s take a closer look at each.

■ You can save on utility costs and living expenses

It also reduces the purchase of consumables such as shampoo and body soap used in the bath, leading to savings in living expenses. Furthermore, by going to the gym, you will be able to spend less time at home and reduce the utility costs that occur in your daily life.

■ You can relax in the spacious bath and sauna

The bath at the gym has a large bathtub and is more spacious than the bath at home. Some gyms have saunas and whirlpools.

Bathing can be expected to have health benefits such as relieving fatigue and eliminating swelling in the legs. Also, if you take a sauna, you can expect effects such as stress relief, blood circulation promotion, and autonomic nerve adjustment by thermal stimulation.
Stretch your legs and rest your body in the spacious bathtub, and sweat in the sauna to get rid of your daily fatigue and relax both physically and mentally. For those who want to enjoy a sense of openness that cannot be experienced in the bath at home, we recommend the bath at the sports gym.

■Eliminate the hassle of cleaning the bath

If you take a bath at home, daily bath cleaning is essential. However, it is unexpectedly troublesome to clean the bathroom after returning home from work or to clean up the bathroom after bathing.
If you take a bath at the sports gym, you will be freed from such daily bath cleaning. In addition, the bathroom will not be filled with moisture, preventing mold and keeping your home clean.

■ More free time

If you take a bath at the sports gym, you can save time cleaning the bath and waiting for hot water to be filled. Of course, it takes time and effort to go to the gym, but if you use the gym near your home or work on your way home from work, you should be able to commute surprisingly efficiently.
A quick bath at the gym on the way home from work and spending some free time after returning home can be said to be a new lifestyle.

■ Build a healthy body

Bathing has the effect of relaxing the mind and body and helping to sleep well. Even people who usually take a shower can expect a positive effect on their mind and body by soaking in a hot tub at a sports gym. Of course, since it is a sports gym, you can also train before bathing.
With the double effect of bathing and training, you can aim for a healthy and toned body.

Disadvantages of using a gym instead of a bath

There are many benefits to using a gym instead of a bath, such as saving money and physical and mental health. However, before joining a gym, it is important to understand the disadvantages and countermeasures that you should know in advance.

<Disadvantages of using a gym instead of a bath>

• Sometimes I take a bath with a stranger
• Luggage increases
• I feel cold when I get home

Here, we will discuss in detail the above drawbacks and how to deal with them.

■Sometimes you take a bath with a stranger

Since many members use the baths at the gym, it is not uncommon for them to take baths with other people. For this reason, people who want to take a bath alone may feel “unsettled”.
If you want to avoid taking a bath with other people, you need to devise ways such as choosing a time when there are few users. It is also recommended to ask the staff of the gym about the situation of users by time and day of the week.

■ Luggage increases

If you want to go to the gym after work and take a bath, you will have to bring towels, change of clothes, amenities, etc., so your luggage will inevitably increase. If you want to go to the gym as light as possible, choose a gym with built-in amenities.

■ My body gets cold when I get home

In the cold season, your body may get cold after taking a bath at the gym. Therefore, if you want to use the gym instead of taking a bath, you need to take measures to prevent yourself from getting cold after bathing.
It is recommended that you dress appropriately, such as bringing a jacket to keep your body warm, and wearing thermal underwear after bathing. Also, it is a good idea to choose a gym that is close to your home or near a train station to shorten your travel time.

What are the points to use the gym’s bath wisely?

In order to use the gym instead of a bath, it is important to keep some points in mind.

■ Check the facility by visiting and experiencing before joining!

First of all, before joining the gym, let’s check the condition of the facility by experience and tour.
Some gyms have no bathrooms and only showers. If you want to use the gym instead of taking a bath, be sure to ask the staff if there is a public bath. Also, if there are additional facilities such as saunas and whirlpools, the enjoyment of using them will increase, making it easier to continue going.
Of course, in addition to bathing, you can also visit training facilities and pools and think about building a healthy body.

The fitness club Kosupa is fully equipped with a bath (spa) and a sauna where you can enjoy a comfortable bath. If you would like to visit and experience, you can easily apply on the WEB!

>>Application for a tour
*It is possible to tour the facility, but you cannot tour the bathroom.
* If you apply for the experience, you can use the bath (spa) and sauna.

■ A gym that is fully equipped with amenities and lockers is recommended

If you use the gym instead of a bath, you tend to have a lot of luggage every time. Therefore, when choosing a sports gym, check if there are amenities such as shampoo and body soap.
Also, it is safe to have a locker with a key where you can store your belongings while bathing. Be sure to check the size and position of the lockers when you visit and experience.

Conditioner-in-shampoo and body soap are available in the baths of the Fitness Club Co-Spa. A hair dryer is also installed, so you can enjoy a comfortable bath with a small amount of luggage.

■ Choose a price plan that suits your lifestyle

The gym offers a variety of price plans. It is common to have multiple plans that suit your lifestyle, such as daily plans, weekdays only, night only, etc.
If you are thinking about saving on utility costs by using it instead of a bath, we recommend a plan that you can use every day as much as possible. Also, if you choose a sports gym that offers student discounts or discount plans that limit usage time, you can use it at a good cost performance.
Choose an appropriate plan according to your age, lifestyle, and purpose of going to the gym.

■ Actively use not only the bath but also the training facility and the pool

So far, I have explained the benefits of using the gym instead of a bath.
However, in order to use the gym wisely, the most important point is to use not only the bath but also the exercise facility. If you move your body at the sports gym, you can eliminate the lack of exercise on a daily basis and aim to create a healthy body. Moderate exercise will also help relieve stress, and your work and private life will be more fulfilling.

By all means, use the gym wisely to save on utility bills and living expenses, get a healthy body and live a healthy life!

If you use the gym instead of a bath, you can save on your daily utility costs and living expenses. You will be able to spend a fulfilling day because you can save the trouble of cleaning the bath and have more free time.
When using a sports gym instead of a bath, it is important to check the presence or absence of a bath and the installation of amenities in the tour and experience before joining. Also, in order to save energy and living expenses well, choose a gym near your home where you can continue to commute, or a gym on your commuting route.
