Gyms can be used for showering, wifi, and even exercising if you are so inclined. No one will look at you funny if you just use the showers.
Ideally you will be able to access a gym associated with your workplace or school for free; be sure to ask if one is available. If not you can get a subscription to a commercial gym like Planet Fitness, Anytime Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, etc. In some areas the local rec center or YMCA may be cheaper.
Planet Fitness is the most commonly-used commercial gym. There are two kids of membership:
* standard - ~$10/month plus annual membership fee. This would be sufficient for people who stay in one area. * Black Card - ~$22/mo plus annual membership fee. The most important benefit of the higher-priced subscription is the ability to use PF gyms nationwide. It also includes access to hydromassage beds, massage chairs, etc. Black Card members can bring one guest per visit, which might be advantageous for couples traveling together.
