Feeling Heat, YMCA Reopens Saunas
New safety procedures begin in response to concerns about health risks that had prompted closures.

October 08, 2002 | BOB POOL | TIMES STAFF WRITER

Tossing in the towel, YMCA officials have reopened steam rooms and saunas they ordered "permanently" closed 3 1/2 months ago at Los Angeles-area workout centers.

"We backed off," said Larry Rosen, president and chief executive of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, withdrawing an administrative order that shuttered the saunas and steam rooms June 18.

The shutdown was triggered by the YMCA's concerns over the health and safety of its members, and by a sauna-sparked fire that caused $1 million damage June 4 to the Westchester YMCA.

"These facilities will not reopen ... this order will not be withdrawn," Rosen said at the time, explaining that the fire "is but the latest in a long list of problems involving these superheated environments."
