I am going on a short break holiday and have the choice of steam room or sauna. Does anyone know which is best?

    The steam room is great! You will feel "decompressed" afterwards :).

    I'm obsessed with the steam room. I go in there every day after my workout! I much prefer it to the sauna :)

    Sauna is dry heat and steam room is exactly what it sounds like, a room full of steam! The steam room at my gym has eucalyptus pumped into it as well, it feels amazing

    I like the steam room because it is wet heat as opposed to the dry heat of a sauna. you get a nice sweat in there or just warm up after a shower.

    I can't stand the feeling of the dry air in my lungs, so I prefer the steam room


    Although when I'm cutting weight, the sauna works best.

    I breathe better in the steam room. The sauna is a little too intense for me and my lungs.

    I would say steam room just because I have never been in one. My boyfriend has a sauna which is really nice though, helps get the knots out of my back.

    Almost everybody answered steam room...
    I can't stand stream room, I just don't feel well in it.. too much steam for me ;-)
    I very much prefer dry sauna!

    They both are good for you I'd say... it's about what you like better, or what your body you actually tolerates best.
