Almost certainly not. There's been more recent studies on cold water immersion that basically say it's useless for something but I can't recall the specifics of what in particular they were studying. You'll have to google it. Also, a shower isn't going to have the cooling effect an ice bath will so any effect of ice baths is likely to be much less for a cold shower. Basically, worry about your gym work, not the temp of your shower.
