As a Finnish person this question makes no sense. Everybody goes to the sauna. The young, old, babies, the sick as well. I go to the sauna even with fever as it feels good with the chills.
- wyclif 10y agoIt's tough to go to the sauna in the USA because it's rare that health clubs/gyms have them. Particularly since the advent of "box" type gyms that imitate Crossfit.

- blackguardx 10y agoThere are a few in SF. Archimedes Banya (www.banyasf.com/) is my favorite. They have a real Finnish sauna that gets up to 100 C (or over) along with a pool for cooling off that is less than 10 C. They also have two Russian baths and a Turkish bath (steam room). To get that real Finnish/Russian experience, you can even bring your own alcohol. Clothing is optional on one half and required on the other. There are others in SF, but I haven't been to them.
