* showers. many gyms often have soap as well. the Golds Gym I used to go to had that, albeit it mostly handsoap dispensers (with handsoap) in the showers. but it was enough in a crunch if I forgot my own body wash * lockers. most places claim "24 hours only" but aren't so great about that, and many will let you rent lockers for 24/7 storage for trivial money. * decent toilets, sinks, mirrors. it's hard to shower, shave, and shit in a gas station bathroom. * you can wash clothes. gyms with a pool often have drying equipment (like the little centrifuges for bathing suits). also saunas and blowdryers. like if you only have 3 pairs of undies, you can give 2 of em a good wash and spin them mostly dry, then hang em in a locker. * 24/7 access. hang out or workout at night, and then quietly grab a nap somewhere (mostly) secure. clean your gear, take a shower, get right, without a ton of people around. hit a couple of reps for arms and shoulders while you're at it. * most gyms I've been to often have powerbars or other cheap meal replacements / proteins in vending machines as well, which may be your only option if you're down to < $5 a day for food
