I use it for general well being

I loved going to the gym just to use the steam room. I had a routine: workout, shower, hit the pool, then the jacuuzzi, then the steam room, then jump in the shallow cool off pool, then relax in the sauna, before a last shower. Of all of this it was the steam room I most liked. You can physically feel the woes of the world melting away from your body.
I have since ended my membership due to their insane price increases, and made my own steam room from a tent and a steam cleaner. This cost nothing as I already had these items and has the same effect, if not better, because in my home I can sit in there naked on a towel, and I don't have to go back out in the cold to get home.
