At a glance
Belgian gyms with a sauna are mostly independent clubs and municipal sports centres rather than chains. Ghent has the most, with others along the coast in Knokke-Heist and Bredene, inland in Beernem and Sint-Truiden, and in Tournai in Wallonia. Several pair the sauna with a pool or a steam room, so a visit can run longer than the workout.
Find a club where a sauna session can follow your workout, from Ghent to the coast.
Saunas are spread thinly across Belgian gyms, with a few in Ghent and the rest in smaller Flemish towns such as Beernem, Bredene and Evergem, plus a handful in Wallonia and a Sportoase sports centre.
A gym sauna can be a single cabin by the changing rooms or a separate wellness area with its own fee. Before you go, ask whether it is included in your entry, whether sessions are mixed or separate, and whether swimwear or a towel is expected.

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.
Belgian saunas lean towards the Dutch and German habit: a towel to sit on is expected, and in many wellness areas swimwear is not worn, though gym saunas differ, so read the house rules at the door. Language depends on the region, Dutch in Flanders and French in Wallonia, and signs may be in one language only. Check whether the sauna is part of your pass or sold per visit, as municipal centres often charge for it separately.
Sportoase has the most of them, with 1.
A chain membership often covers several branches, but facilities can differ from one branch to the next. Open a chain to see all of its branches, and check the one you plan to use before you sign up.
