Recently joined Fitness First. The Strand is pretty active especially on Saturday lunch time. The one in Holborn has potential but people seem more reserved. Anyone going? Are there other FF gyms where to have some sauna-showers fun?
Was in oasis this morning for an outdoor swim. First time there and yes there are communal showers. A few naked guys but nothing too interesting. I enjoyed the nudity and turned a few heads. Most interesting was the pool. Had a great swim.
Once saw a guy just taking a shower with a strong vertical erection. I was getting dressed in full view of the showers. Also erect. He just showered then got dressed and left. Didn’t seem to want to engage with anyone just show off.
I’ve been wanting to get into FF Strand for years. I presume full membership is required? Do share if any action!
Anyone wants to join to come Covent Garden gay sauna on Tuesday?

I use London Bridge and Cottons. LB has a small sauna in the shower area, Cottons is shared steam and sauna with women.
I go during fairly quiet times though and not seen much action. Did visit Covent Garden during lunch time and two older guys were teasing their cocks immediately haha. Want to check out more.
My local pool at Brixton has shower cubicals down one end and an open shower for 6 down the others. Estimate 50/50 split of people using either.
There’s a drier for your trunks as you come in from the pool entrance. For the last few weeks a regular has come out from his swim, dropped his trunks right by the door, dried them, then walked butt naked the length of the room to the showers and then all the way back to his locker when done.
He certainly likes to flaunt. He makes sure to take his time. I often wander if it’s a reader of this thread.

thanks @steamyman for the recommendation. I got round to trying out Holborn Oasis this morning.
The outdoor pool is super - something really amazing for the heart of London. It was very busy, so exercise was just swimming lengths at the pace of the slowest. The locker room and showers are indeed open, which is a welcome change from the dreaded changing village. It’s actually possible to get clean after a swim. A downside is the level of automation, where in effect the only way to use it as a one off (not a member) is to book and prepay online and enter with a bar code on a mobile phone. The bar code reader seems very bad at actually reading bar codes, so it is automation that doesn’t work properly.
Glad you enjoyed the swim - hope the sights in the showers were good! I agree about the app - it's a pain in the arse to us - and their customer service is terrible. I must get back for a swim there soon though.

good to see men not bothered about being naked. And yes men do walk from bench to shower naked, and aren’t bothered about showing cock and bum as they change.
Not London - but does anyone know of any open showers in Leeds?
Bannatynes (used to be Virgin) on Kirkstall Road has cubicle showers, but I’ve found if you leave the door open a little, guys will go in the cubicle next to you for some under stall fun, as the dividers are quite high off the ground.
Never come across any open showers though… any recommendations?

HOLBORN OASIS
ADVANTAGES
* very special outdoors pool. Definitely worth experiencing.
* old fashioned open locker room and showers, so no grubby changing village.
DISADVANTAGES
* grubby
* sauna closed
* the reality of a busy pool is that you lane swim at the speed of the slowest in your lane. Weekday mornings tend to be an older clientele.
* has to be pre-booked. Entry only with Q code on phone. Scanner on entry doesn’t work properly. No payment at the door. (I suppose you could go online and make a booking for the next ten minute entry slot).
* price for one off use is okay but not a bargain. 20p non refundable for locker, and you do need a 20p coin - no cash handled by the gym.
I will be back as it is a remarkable outdoor pool and in a location which is convenient for me, but Camden Council should be ashamed of the grime and the general sense of tattyness.
Thanks for this Shame to hear the sauna is closed - any other suggestions at all? Thanks

i like the Queen Elizabeth Pool at Victoria. It’s a decent 25m pool, all seems reasonably clean, and lack of space means they’ve had to avoid the insanity of changing village and shower cubicles. You need a padlock for the lockers. I don’t think there’s a sauna. The location is not all that convenient for me, but works for anyone travelling through Victoria station.
I’m struggling a bit for a decent pool in or close to City and Covent Garden.
