Hey, any suggestions? Wanna go to a gym with action going on. Specially young fit men.
From what I've heard Splash Healthclub on Lijnbaansgracht and Sportcity on Waterlooplein.

It is a gym. Maybe there will be some action or a place to pick up a date but the average visitor is there to work out.
Just go to a dark room, a gay sauna, a cruising area, whatever.

Hey guys, I read that Splash is now closed, which is unfortunate becuase I used to have lot of fun in the steam room and sauna.
Does anyone know another gym with sauna/steam room in Amsterdam where the action of happening now ?

Hi this looks like a nice gym / working space - I’ve just moved to Amsterdam so would also like to know if this is a good gym ? Are there any good gyms near the Bijlmer Arena with open showers / men’s sauna ?
Maybe try Optisport Health Club, it is in this region, but I've never been there.

Maybe in Amsterdam, with a much larger gay community, it is different. But here in Eindhoven (5th largest city of the Netherlands) it looks like really no one uses the shower at my gym.
There are open showers and closed showers. And there is a sauna. I have never seen anyone taking a shower there. The sauna is always cold. If you want to use it, a button needs to be pushed. Then the sauna will be heated. In the meantime one can undress and take a shower until the sauna is on temperature.
But really, it is always spotless clean and dry as Nevada desert, as all guys simply put on their jack and step into their car to have a shower at home. Because no one showers, I feel weird to be the only one to take a shower and a sauna.
To be honest, I prefer to drop the sweaty attire in the basket and take a shower at home as well. Just more convenient. But indeed: a missed opportunity to see, and been seen and to flirt or encounter.
But again: Amsterdam is Amsterdam, impossible to compare with the rest of the Netherlands. Earlier this year it was in the news that Amsterdam gyms were complaining about gay men using their accomodation as cruising areas.
Well, I wish there was any cruising in my local gym.

dutch people are direct and speak up often, thus a gym is just a gym even though everyone in the sauna is naked, no cruising. There are some places such as NZ sauna or kinky clubs (church club, eagles, etc) that held parties almost every weekend.
Well, I went to some SportCity gyms in Amsterdam and often found some action in the steam room/showers. The (now closed) Splash gym always had lot of action in the steam room and sauna (now that it is closed, I wonder if there is another gym that may have promising spa area ?
