Yes.

Should I wait until after I get home and showered before I to give thanks? or is OK to immediately show gratitude?
To give some immediate words of thanks to HaShem would not be disrespectful, provided that you're dressed and not in the locker room (the place where people using the gym change clothes).
For a more concentrated/devout session of prayer, it would be preferred to clean up beforehand, if possible.
