Just switched gyms and the new one has a sauna. Never used before. Was told it will "clear the toxins out of my system". This sounds like some essential oils type bullsh*t.
What say the OT, is the sauna a waste of time?

How much room you got in the sauna?

Would probably comfortably fit 5 guys. No one goes in naked, I'm told (not that there's anything wrong with that). Anyhow

Is that a conservative estimate?

Increases blood flow due to rise in core temperature but it's arguable if that's of any benefit.

never had a complaint about the time I soent in one. You just swear your balls off but it's very cathartic.

Now a steam room with eucalyptus in it will clear your sinuses out like you were just born. But you'll be hacking and snotting for about five minutes.

After a long day of drinking, it does wonders to clean out your body and end a hangover. Anyone who actually uses one can attest to that.

It is also good for my pores. I notice clearer skin on my back and legs.

It's also the best shave of your life. Put on shaving cream, sit in there for 5 minutes and shave. It will change you life.

Yeah everyone so far has specifically mentioned after a night of drinking. Does it have any actual effect, or does getting your body temp real high just make you feel better? Theres that "clean your body" rhetoric again. Why does it have the effect next day after drinking?

I don't know about actual "cleansing", but it's what it feels like.

If I go out drinking and then hit the sauna, my sweat stinks pretty badly. After 3 days in a row, my sweat barely smells at all.

Make sure the locker room has hair dryers to dry your nutsack afterward.
