JCC (Jewish Community Centers)

I know this is a community on KSpa discussion but I recently joined a JCC in Western New York where I live. I was surprised that most people go nude in the wet areas when moving between the showers, sauna, steamroom, and whirlpool in the Adult Men's only spa area. I actually now like to be nude when I go in the wet areas and occasionally bring a hand or bath towel in with me. Does anyone have similar experiences in the adult only 18+ Men's Spa area at a JCC?

First timer in LA!

Mid-30s male in LA here looking for advice on the best K-spa and the best time of day to go as a first-timer. I would like to go when it is a little less crowded. It seems like Century Spa around 9 AM or Wi Spa around that same time might be good options.
I tried to go today but chickened out right as I was about to walk in. 😝

Hyu spa - Scrub / massage

I’ve been nothing but impressed with this place, i finally tried the scrub and massage and it’s in the top ten. There was no rush, fully scrub with warm waters getting into all nooks and crevices, once this part is over hit the sauna for a few and then the massage begins. Amazing food and service check it out if you have time.

Not a KSpa but I went to Russian Turkish Baths in Miami today and was very disappointed.

It was during the general coed hours, so had to keep my bathing suit on.

The place seemed very dirty. The hot tub room had a distinct smell (not a nice one). The smell of food from the restaurant spread through the whole place.

The steam room and saunas were all very hot. No relief anywhere for a less hot sauna you can stay in longer and really sweat. And all the handles to get out were metal with no protection from burning your hands.

The locker room was quite small. When I first came in the main door from the entryway into it was propped wide open. And there’s a door on the other side that leads to the hot tub room. Where my locker was, if I was standing at it and the door opened, anyone in the hot tub could see directly in. I don’t care about people seeing me naked but I don’t want to offend anyone in the coed hot tub not expecting it. I don’t think many people use it though because when I was drying off and a staff member opened the door, he apologized. It’s shocking a staff member would be surprised to see someone naked in a locker room at a spa!

The locker room only had one toilet and one urinal and one shower. The shower had a door on it but no light inside, so I kept the door open. It also clearly hadn’t been cleaned well, but since I had been out at the beach and pool all day I needed to shower badly before I got dressed.

Speaking of the beach, the only redeeming factor about this location is that you get access to the condo’s pool and beach. But no beach chairs or umbrellas to use and since you only get two small towels, I did not really want to take one out to get sandy on the beach.

I didn’t realize how spoiled I’ve been by the nice clean Korean spa I went to.

Islands spa Nj 5/7

This morning was probably the most patrolling by attendants I’ve ever seen on the men’s side. Frankly, it was a little uncomfortable. Something must’ve happened recently, they were in their squeegeeing, the steam room glass at least four times in the span of an hour and a half or so this morning. Was able to relax, but it still kind of kills The vibe when so many times they have to slow walk it past the sauna and the steam room. At least the massage jets were working. That made me pretty happy :-)

Looking for bros to go to wither Yu or Aqua Spa with on weekends, on a regular basis. I often go after work out to relax and heal muscles. I’ve been to Yu before and will check out Aqua tonight. I don’t mind going alone but think it would be fun to have a buddy to go with to chat. Hmu

This happened to me this past weekend and I was curious if anyone else had any similar experiences lol.

I was close to the DC are so decided to take a trip to Spa World for a bit. Spent about an hour in the wet area and was about to rest but I took a dip in the really hot hot tub. Spent about 5 minutes then decided to get out. I don’t remember much of what happened, but next thing i know I’m on the ground and my temples feel like they’re gonna explode. I had apparently passed out.

Luckily, some guys were nice enough to help me out and lead me toward the shower to cool off. The manager also came by to check me out and offered to call an ambulance, which I declined. Unfortunately, I had busted my chin open during the fall and had to go get stitches. Sucked cause it derailed my whole day and I wasn’t able to go back cause I couldn’t get the stitches submerged.

I’m fine now, but was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences?

I've been to Seoul Jimjilbang twice recently and it was the very first one I've been to. It was a no frills, basic family spa. The wet areas on the Men's side had an elevated warm tub and cold plunge and a steam room which was good. No dry sauna which I wish they had. I wish they had another larger KSpa in Toronto though.

What is the benefit of the infrared lights at the Kspas? I’ve seen them at Jeju in Duluth Georgia and I think Spa World in Virginia has them too. How long is it okay to lay underneath them?
