Stop trying to act "shady". Just walk in there like you own the place and do what you want. What do you think all the off-duty police do in the same situation? They aren't cowering in the corner afraid someone may see them.
Just my .02

I think in that instance I would just leave it in the car.

Leave it in the car and trust that you won't get jumped walking from the car to the gym?

I sadly leave mine in the truck. My 30 foot walk to the locker room, just to leave it in a locker anyways is a risk I am willing to take.

I have a lockbox mounted in my truck. When I know I'm going to need to remove my weapon, I use a Raven vanguard II instead of my usual CTAC as a holster. I can take the pistol and holster off easily, and leave it locked in the truck.

Hmm, I don't know, but I'll think on it next time I am taking a dump before changing into my workout clothes.
I can think better in the privacy afforded by the toilet stalls. |

I'll tell you what NOT to do.
Don't get in a road rage incident with someone in the parking lot and end up brandishing your CCW when the meathead confronts you in the locker room.  |

Buy a good gym bag and put it in before you walk in the gym. If you're concerned you may get jumped on the way into the gym leave the bag unzipped where you can grab it easily. |

Gotcha, I forget often that people live in urban areas. We are out in the middle of nowhere here, even most of my jobs are in the burbs, so vehicle placement is often close and in the open and high crime areas are few and far between. If I bid a job that I think is in a bad part of town, I tack on a good deal extra to make sure I can hire extra guys to be on site and around the truck with me. |

Well I don't dead lift heavy but using the weight machines with a CCW on just seams like it would be very uncomfortable and unnecessary. |

In my gym, if something were to break bad, and the (usually 2-3 NC Highway Patrol officers there working out) couldn't handle it, the owner would open up with is own CCW.

I would be much more worried about the locker at the gym being broken into than my car. Gym locker rooms are a prime target and get broken into often in many places. I've seen first hand a group of kids acting shady in the locker room at my gym looking for opportunities and reported them to management. It's quite easy to open most gym lockers with a pry bar, the metal latch is weak and just secured into the wood with a few screws.

I have chosen to not carry some days and guess what? Nothing happened. Pistolwear makes a nice neoprene rig to wear under workout clothes. If you're going swimming nothing you can do about that. If you're assaulted in the swimming pool, I guess it was just your time to go, OP. Don't overthink this, and don't turn into one of those guys that's like "if I can't take my gun then I'm not going there!" Keep it in your gym back/in your locker until you are ready to leave. Seems simple. |

It you go th the gym in street clothes, how do you change into exercise clothes and put your pants and CCW into a locker with other people nearby? 1. Enter gym 2. Enter locker room 3. Go directly to toilet stall 4. Close stall door 5. Hang gym bag on door/hook 6. Remove CCW and place in gym bag, preferably in a sealed compartment 7. Depart shitter and change into workout gear |
