The Y I went to in Canada, 15 years ago now, and actually for a short while about 5 years ago, had a guys change room and an adult mens change room. The Adult mens room was equipped with the sauna and hot tub and there was more nudity there.
The Y in Kalamazoo MI has an 18+ men's area with exercise equipment, group showers, sauna, and steam room. Most of the guys just hang out naked. I have even worked out naked, but I sweat too much so normally wear clothes. I quit going because it was too far of drive so I bought some equipment and sauna for my house.
the Y in northside INDY was built in the 70's and has a Sauna and whirlpool still in the adults men's locker room... the only thing now is they put up signs a few years ago to cover yourself with a towel when walking around, but most of the old guys during the day, don't and don't care.
I use the YMCA/YWCA regularly. I do remember when they were separate, and I wish some would separate so that there would be able to be freer nudity permissions. There are showers, I use a shower after swimming, and never pull the curtain all the way across, though right now, curtains have been removed so although they are semi-closed, they are open for all to see you wash and shower. Seldom see boys stripping and taking showers! I have seen fathers showing boys how to cover up with a towel so as not to be seen nude, and then get dressed wearing the towel until covered. What a shame.

My local Y is the best deal and most comprehensive facility in my area. I watch netflix on the elliptical. Last night I was the only swimmer in a beautiful pool, 81 degree water. Outdoor temp 3 degrees. Very grateful for the facility even though it has a small locker and shower area for men. I shower nude in the open but usually the only one. Rarely see other brief style suits either but I figure that I have to be the trend setter. Can't have everything but I guess I have 90%.
