At a glance
In the Netherlands a sauna is one of the clearest differences between a budget gym and a full-service club. Basic-Fit leaves it out, while many SportCity branches and a large number of independent clubs have one, some with a steam room or a pool alongside. Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht have the widest choice, but club saunas are also found in smaller towns, often at gyms that describe themselves as health or wellness clubs.
Compare sauna access at SportCity and independent clubs in Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht.
Gyms with a sauna in the Netherlands are concentrated in Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, with others in Rotterdam and Tilburg, and SportCity branches make up much of the choice alongside TrainMore and independent clubs.
A gym sauna is usually small. Check whether it is included in your membership or only in a higher tier, its hours, whether it sits in separate changing rooms or a mixed area, where Dutch custom is to go without swimwear, and whether a towel is required.

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.
Dutch sauna culture is textile-free: you go in without swimwear and sit on a large towel that covers the whole bench, and gym saunas usually follow the same custom. A few clubs ask for swimwear or set women-only hours, so read the house rules (huisregels) first. Check which membership includes the sauna, as some clubs keep it for their more expensive plans, and bring two towels: one to sit on and one to dry off.
