And in an old [i.e. existing] one: in the outer room in which all who stand there are dressed, it is permitted, and in the middle room, where some who are standing there are dressed and some are standing there naked, one may greet another with the word "Shalom" (which is one of the names of God) , but may not the recite the Sh'ma or the Prayer [i.e. Amidah].

And it is forbidden to respond "Amen" in a bathhouse (Ran, Perek Kirah)
