What to know about gyms with a sauna in Hamburg

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.

German saunas are textile-free almost everywhere: swimwear is not worn inside, and you sit or lie on a towel large enough that no skin touches the wood. Mixed saunas are normal, though some studios keep a women-only day. Larger clubs run Aufguss sessions, when water with essential oils is poured on the hot stones and the air is fanned around the room; it is polite to stay until the round ends. Check whether the sauna is part of your plan or an extra.

Tips

  • Leave your swimwear in the locker: German saunas are textile-free.
  • Look up the Aufguss times and arrive a few minutes early, as the door stays shut once it starts.
  • Bring a towel big enough to lie on and a bathrobe for the relaxation area.
  • Ask whether the sauna is in your plan or an extra before you sign a contract.
