What REALLY goes on in some Equinox steam rooms: Gym insiders reveal eye-popping indecency... secret towel signals used by experimental married men... and clubs with most 'aggressive' locker rooms
Daily Mail • • technology
Key Points:
- Equinox gyms, known for luxury amenities, have become notorious for sexual activity occurring in steam rooms and showers, especially among gay members, with some locations reportedly enforcing bans on such behavior.
- Members describe a "secret language" of signals used to initiate encounters, leading to crowded steam rooms and occasional conflicts with other gym-goers.
- Equinox maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy on inappropriate conduct, warning that violations will result in immediate membership termination, but the gym has faced multiple lawsuits alleging it ignored sexual misconduct in its facilities.
- The phenomenon ties into a historical context of communal baths serving as clandestine meeting places for gay and bisexual men, with modern-day discussions and jokes appearing on social media and dating apps.
- Some members find the behavior overwhelming or unwelcome, emphasizing that the gym should remain a respectful space for fitness rather than sexual encounters.
