Sauna at the GYM

My Gym - LA Fitness, just opened up a new location and it has a sauna, the old one did not, what do I wear in the sauna? Briefs? Nakid? Everytime I walk by the sauna, nobody is using it and very few people even use the showers, at least during the times I am there.

Seems very few people get nakid at this gym, where when I was a member of the YMCA, there was a lot of nakid guys walking around in the locker room. Definetly a lot more hot bodies at LA Fitness, do you think guys are afraid to show it off in fear of other guys looking at their package and hitting on them?

I wear hot designer briefs (low rise Cin2's usually) and have a mostly shaved/trimmed dick and balls as I am sure a lot of other guys do to, do you think guys are uncomfortable showing their shaved package to other guys?

What do I wear into the sauna?

A towel i guess. That is how they do it on television.

Go naked, it is your choice!

Has anyone ever been hit on in a sauna?

Don't worry. It's useless to mug a naked man.

I would wear a towel, if only to sit on while in the sauna. It's a matter of hygiene.

Isn't there someone at the front desk you could ask?

unless it is coed...you wear shorts or go naked...whatever you want. If naked sit on a towel.

I vote for the towel...

Sanitary, comfortable and flexible...

If you're alone there or with well-adjusted guys, you can leave it open. If not, you can cover your junk.

One thing I don't get is guys who sit on those towels in the sauna / steam room and then recycle that towel to wipe their face dry after the shower...

sit on a towel but be naked, relax and enjoy....

wear a towel
wear flip-flops. Once you have a case of plantar warts you will always wear flipflops in the wet areas of a gym.

Dude - why in the hell would you wear Cin2s or shorts in the sauna? That is crazy and not comfortable. A towel will do the trick and then if you are confortable open the towel and sit or lie on it. Listen to Frankie and relax.

At the sauna at my gym, I sit naked on a towel. I've never seen anybody in there with shorts or a swimsuit on.

I'd wear a towel for b/c of questionable hygene of others.

Feels the same as wearing a kilt !! Love it !!

As was already said... bring a towel to sit on for sanitary reasons. If the sauna is that new then there probably is not a "standard" of what to do. If for some reason you don't feel comfortable at least you have the towel to wrap around you.

Most sauna makers recommend using them sans clothing of any type. Shower before you go in. You'll want a towel with you to sit on not just for the "germs," but also because often the seats are hot, even the wood ones. Sitting on the towel is preferable.

Most guys in the sauna at my gym (including me) leave the "junk" uncovered because it does help the pores to breathe and encourages sweating, which is usually the point of using the sauna anyway.
