Spartan

Spartan Health Club in Birmingham, established in 1982, stands as the city's longest-serving sauna for gay and bisexual men. This cozy and well-maintained venue, set in a converted terraced house.

Managed by the friendly and knowledgeable proprietor Vince, Spartan ensures a secure and welcoming environment. Guests are greeted at an inconspicuous security door. Once inside, the ground floor offers essential amenities like two showers, an eight-seat sauna cabin, a steam room with the same capacity, and a changing room equipped with a hairdryer, mirror, and deodorant.

In the basement, there's another large-screen TV and two additional relaxing cabins. The club is renowned for its mix of friendly and welcoming guests, creating a warm atmosphere. Conveniently located just a five-minute drive from Spaghetti Junction and a ten-minute drive from Birmingham City Centre, Spartan offers easy parking on George Road or nearby side roads. It's particularly busy from 12:00 to 18:00 and is an ideal spot for passing tradesmen like representatives, drivers, and truckers.

Spartan's layout is thoughtfully designed and maintained with cleanliness in mind. The club's intimate and friendly ambiance sets it apart from larger, more expensive options like the Greenhouse, which is more challenging to reach and charges significantly higher entry fees.

Spartan is an excellent choice for first-timers or those unsure about visiting a sauna, thanks to its inviting and non-intimidating environment. Free condoms and lube available onsite.

This small but perfectly formed club is well worth a visit for a unique and welcoming experience.
