At my gym, they have a sunbed but they recommend no more than 20 sessions a year on it, so I find it odd that your gym gives you unlimited access, can't be healthy. Usually people go nude, and that's fine unless you're worried about burning your more fragile parts. I don't know if by lotion you mean moisturizer or sun cream, but though it's best if your skin is well hydrated, you shouldn't apply any creams just before you go on it and your skin should be clean, because certain cosmetics will react in the sunbed's light and damage your skin. No sun cream is recommended. I only ever use it for 5-10 mins at a time, that's the recommended maximum exposure any one time. And if you're very fair you shouldn't go on a sunbed at all, also if you're still very young (under 16).

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
