Los Angeles has stark contrasts between affluent West Side gyms ($150+/month) and community centers serving lower-income areas. Silicon Valley tech campuses often allow public access to facilities with advance booking. Homeless populations have created dedicated shower programs in major cities - SF's Lava Mae, LA's Refresh Spot. Mountain towns like Mammoth and Tahoe cater to seasonal sports enthusiasts.
