My new post workout ritual is to visit the sauna. This allows me to have a few quiet moments to myself (fully clothed. No naked sauna for this gal) and sweat all the nasties out of me.
Well last night I entered the sauna and it was just me and another lady. She was sauna-ing in her swimsuit. Fine. I don’t mind that, just the naked thing weirds me out. Anywho, the quietness of the hot and steamy sauna only lasted for a moment. Swimsuit sauna lady began a 20 minute conversation in Chinese on her cell phone. Who does that? Seriously. I am ok with quiet small talk amongst yourselves, but if you need to carry on a conversation on your cell phone AND you do not know how to properly use your inside voice, then do it outside of the sauna. It really irked me last night. A few other gym rats joined me in the sauna and we gave each other puzzling looks whilst swimsuit sauna lady chatted up a storm. When I left the sauna she was still going strong with her phone conversation. Let’s hope tonight’s sauna visit is a little more peaceful.
What are your thoughts on sauna etiquette? Do you thinking loud talking is appropriate or do you prefer the quietness and relaxation of the sauna?

You should ask the gym manager to post a sign on the door about the use of the cell phone in the sauna. It is a place of peace, rest and relaxation. And AMEN to saunaing in your clothes. NAKED GROSS!
