Gyms with a sauna

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.

Before you choose

What to know about gyms with a sauna in Utrecht

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.

Tips

  • Bring two towels: a large one to sit on and one to dry off.
  • Check which membership includes the sauna before you sign up.
  • Skip budget chains if the sauna matters; look at independent clubs and SportCity branches.
  • Read the huisregels for women-only hours and swimwear rules.
