I am the kind of guy who uses the steam and sauna fully naked with just a towel wrapped around my waist, but I see lots of people coming into the sauna fully clothed before or after their workouts.
First of all I find it not hygienic, and slightly annoying, then, why do they do that?

I think to warm up before a workout... what they don't realize is that it may warm up your outer skin but it does not warm up the muscles. Another idiot person who knows nothing about working out.

Happens all the time at my gym(s), guys come in after working out and sit and fester in their sweaty gym gear....then leave the sauna, put on a sweatshirt and get in their car...gross...
I see the same thing! My gym has a co-Ed sauna in the aqua center so patrons wear bathing suit but we get guys coming in wearing sweats and sneakers. One ass even had his coat on, bet he smelled good when he went home!

What’s not hygienic about it

I was just going to ask the same thing!!

You’re bringing everything you’ve walked on or touched into a hot and humid environment, not to mention you’ve been sweating into your clothes. No better way for skin fungus to grow...or transfer.

I would love to have a sauna and steam room. I wouldn’t go nekkid in it but I wouldn’t wear clothes, either. I’d wear a swim suit. There’s probably a club rule about wearing clothes and shoes that’s being ignored.

I have seen it all in the sauna at my gym - - dudes 1-dressed in full workout gear, including sneakers; 2-in gym shorts, and bare chested; 3-nude except for towel around waist; 4-totally nude.

I typically go nude wrapped in a towel to start. If someone is nude, I am fine ditching the towel and relaxing.

.... As opposed to making direct contact with surfaces that have touched hundreds of dirty, sweaty asses & genitals of people with all types of questionable hygiene practices.
Myeah. Makes perfect sense.

That's why you have a towel around you... My gym provides clean towels to everyone.
And , of course, nobody sweats thru them... And nobody removes them because they're hot... And, nobody ever uses them to wipe themselves off... Or sets them on the ground ..... And, of course, the gym wouldn't cut back on the cleaning product used in washing the towels... Or the sauna itself, for that matter... Oh and the doors open automatically & nobody ever touches them with their hands after touching themselves or the bench as they sit down or exit...

You can sweat through your clothes too. I'm not sure what your point is. If your gym isn't keeping their facilities clean then you should report them to the health department.

Never heard of or seen such a thing. One should always shower before entering the sauna/steam areas so that you are as clean and hygienic as possible for the respect of fellow users.

Maybe they are trying to sweat their weigh down for their "weigh-in" weight? :)

This is one of my biggest pet peeves from the gym. Wearing a towel or sitting naked on a towel are the only ways people should use a sauna. I can understand wearing a swimsuit if coming from the pool. Any other workout gear is unacceptable. This happens occasionally at my gym and it makes the whole vibe of the sauna immediately uncomfortable when there's somebody wearing their gym clothes, especially if other guys are already in there simply in towels.

A lot of these guys bring their phones into the sauna as well, which brings up a whole different issue regarding privacy.
