The gym I sometimes work out at is located in a communal recreation centre, with indoor Olympic sized swimming pool, 25 metre outdoor pool, two saunas as well as the gym itself.
The changing areas and showers are the same for the whole complex and when it comes to the cleaning of the showers and saunas it's almost always female staff doing it.
They have posted a notice on the entry to the men's changing area which states that staff of both genders are used for maintenance duties, same goes for the women's area.
Other than some patrons with a background in a foreign culture who I have noticed appear to react to a female staff member being present, everybody carries on as usual. It's not seen as something strange or inappropriate at all.
