West Virginia's mountainous terrain isolates communities, and facilities can be 50+ miles apart on winding roads that take twice as long as you'd expect. The coal mining heritage left many towns with aging infrastructure and limited funds. Charleston and Huntington have the best coverage with YMCAs and basic gym chains. The New River Gorge area (now a national park as of 2020) is seeing increased facility development.
Whitewater rafting companies in the New River and Gauley areas provide seasonal shower facilities April-October - worth asking even if you're not rafting. Morgantown has good options thanks to WVU, but football weekends are intense. The Greenbrier Resort offers day passes but at premium prices ($50+). Many former coal towns have only church-run facilities available.
