The guide
Where exactly
Entrance next to hotel entrance. Free parking with stamp at desk. Cross street: Denman Street
Cruisiest spot: Showers and sauna
When to go
Any time, but I think evening is the cruisiest. I like days, because there is little people around.
Etiquette
Wave your weenie at someone in the shower.
Nudity: Sure, there are guys nude in the men's locker room, but it's a gym, not a bath house
Safety
The main thing that bugs me is that 75% of their clientelle is gay and they refuse to acknowledge that even though they particpate in Pride Day. They even through out the local gay rag, Xtra West. Update from cruiser 3/4/2009:I'd estimate gays > make up maybe 40 to 50 per cent of the membership at this well-run > fitness club. A lot of women (mostly hetero, I'd wager) use the place, > too. The staff are always friendly and courteous, and from what I've > seen, someone's ity is a complete non-issue - guys banter easily > about their lovers and weekend conquests in the locker room, and quietly elsewhere, too. I use the steam room after my workout at least thrree times a week, > and can assure you there's no warning sign about conduct.** As with any public place use caution and be discreet.

just signed up for membership there today after my old gym (World Gym on Robson) suddenly closed without warning (anyone know anything about that?) anyways there's a big sign on the steam room that says "indecent behaviours will result in immediate termination of membership and prosecution" ... it also says to "wear a towel" so I did. but the two other guys I saw go in there didn't bother. so I have no idea how well-observed those guidelines are. will have to update you later.

I have not been to the steam room in a long time and wonder if it is busy enough to visit on a Saturday/Sunday morn or afternoon or if week day eves are always better?
