Steam Room and Sauna
Please adhere to the guidelines posted for use of the steam room and sauna. Only adult members (age 18 and older) are allowed to use the steam room and sauna. With a wide range in ages of our members who use these spaces, our intent is to keep the steam at 110 degrees Fahrenheit and the sauna between 130 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit. We recommend no more than a 5 – 10 minute usage period in the steam room or sauna. Remember to always cool down before use. Never exercise in these spaces. Members who set clothing around the heating area of the sauna or who purposefully invoke extra steam in the steam unit will have their membership privileges revoked immediately. For sanitary reasons, please refrain from washing, shampooing, or shaving in the steam room and sauna areas. For your safety, please read the guidelines for use that is posted outside of the steam and sauna.
