If you do your training on the way home, you can just shower at home. The downside is that it's hotter. Also, it seems to me that drivers are worse in the afternoon rush hour than in the morning, although maybe that's just a Sacramento thing.
It's possible, I might try it out a few ways and see how it goes. I usually wear dress slacks and a button down though, so might still have to change, even if I don't shower. Ideally your way works, except I won't commute every day, so I'll probably just take whatever clothes and stuff in the day before when I drive, so I don't have to carry a backpack.
