More than likely a blockage, leak, or bad installation.
If some other showers, toilets, and sinks are having problems with running water then it's likely a problem with the entire water system, usually bad parts or a leak.

If water pressure is good everywhere else, and the recent pressure seems to have changed, probably cleaning your shower head filters.
If never had good pressure but do everywhere else, you may need a lees restrictive head or shower valve, or your piping may be corroded.
Pressure is not the same as volume.... Most people say pressure when they want volume. You can have the same pressure to take a shower that comes out of a squirt gun, or one that comes out of a fire hose... The difference is the volume of water that makes the biggest difference. The answers above are mostly volume related.

What would cause low pressure in a shower when you have replaced the hot water line out of the water heater?
you have trash in your line take the shower head off and remove trash or possibly in water valve at shower
Why does your shower have sudden bursts of hot water?
Maybe pressure balancer going bad or you don't have a pressure balanced valve
How is taking a shower condensation?
Hot water is spraying out into the atmosphere at high pressure. This causes condensation.
Does a migrain get worse if you have a shower?
Well, if you take a shower with hot water, it should get worse, since a hotter temperature increases blood pressure....
Why is there no hot water pressure in the shower?
There could be several reasons for low hot water pressure in the shower, such as a clogged showerhead, a faulty hot water valve, a blockage in the hot water pipe, or an issue with the water heater. Check these components to determine the source of the problem and address it accordingly.
Why when you turn on the hot water in the shower no water comes out at all the cold works fine but there is no water or pressure on the hot side?
This is probably a pressure imbalance problem or you have air in the lines. see the related video link provided.
What could be causing the water in the shower to be warm but not nearly as hot as the water in the shower in a newly constructed condo and how can it be disabled?
A stuck or worn balancing spool in a pressure balanced valve.
What would cause temperature and pressure fluctuation in the shower when no other water source is on?
My first thought is a leaky hot water line.
How do you fix shower hot water when toilet is flushed?
Run a new cold supply line from the source. This will drain less pressure from the the cold shower line.
How do you maintain pressure after installing a second shower head in your shower?
The piping has to be the exact same length for each shower head from the tee where the cold and hot water feeds from the top of the diverter faucet.
The hot water pressure in the shower is still low after replacing the valve stem and seat?
Open up the actual shower head and remove the factory fitted restrictor.
How do you keep shower temperature from changing when someone flushes the toilet or uses another sink?
Your water pressure is low. Consequently, when cold water is diverted to another application such as a toilet or a sink, the amount of cold water available at the shower mixing valve decreases as the low pressure is unable to keep up with the shower's demand. This causes a hotter mixture at the shower head. The solution is to either improve the cold water supply to the shower or to replace the shower control valve with a temperature compensating type. Pressure balancing is the cheapest and simply changes the shower temperature according to the pressure in the cold and hot water lines. When the toilet or sink is used, reduced pressure to the shower valve is detected and the valve reduces the hot water pressure, thereby maintaining the temperature. The more sophisticated approach is a thermostatic shower control valve. These are significantly more expensive, but will not reduce the pressure at the shower head (a drawback of the pressure balancing valve). The thermostatic valve would be required when one shower control valve is operating several shower heads. Moen, Kohler and Delta all make both types of control valves. They can be readily obtained from a local plumbing supply house.
