That's an excellent question. Hopefully someone else paid enough attention to notice...

I understand there is a single shower in the Amex Centurion Lounge. Holders of run-of-the-mill Amex card holders can access that lounge for USD 50. Its free for Centurion and Platinum Amex card holders.

I've read in the relevant thread over in the Amex forum, that there is often a lineup for the shower. :-( Why they would build this with a single shower I dunno.

Tried once several years ago. I'd have to be pretty desperate to ever shower there again.

As at a week ago they were both "broken". I didn't ask how they had been in that state or when they were going to be fixed, but the way it was said made it sound like it wasn't all that temporary...

The Club SFO in domestic Terminal 1 (Harvey Milk) has showers. They take Priority Pass. Potential problem is they sometimes have a waitlist to get in.

As I understand it, they also charge extra for showers, even when entering using PP.

The Club charges $25 to use the shower for 30 minutes. No clue about the cleanliness or water pressure. Google Reviews mention towels not being replaced or taken away in between uses, which leads me to believe they don't clean the showers too often.

The Centurion Lounge shower has really low water pressure (their sinks too), as part of a "water saving" program. (I've complained at the front desk a few times.) It may be an airport-wide initiative, so The Club's showers may also be low, too.

The showers in the United Polaris lounge are not what I'd call high pressure, but they aren't low pressure enough that I'd complain (plus they have both a normal head and a rainfall). Comments based on my 2 showers there on Friday (one morning, one evening)
