My gym has a steam room, spa and a hot tub....what advantages do these have to helping fitness? Every club seems to have them.

It helps you relax and loosen any tense muscles. All sweating does is make you lose water weight. So fitness-wise, relaxation is its only benefit.

absloutely none,
with one exception, the steam room can keep your heartrate up after an exercise (like a long run) even longer to help burn a few more calories.
The idea that these help lose weight is riddiculous, all they do is make you sweat and you lose the water weight which you get right back.

They all help to relax you, but they are good for flushing toxins out of your system
