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

    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 love them both! I'd have to say steam room is number one.

    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.
