I have no idea what to do with my ccw when I'm at the gym. Do any of you who work out keep it on you somehow? I have been locking it up in the car but just wondering if anyone else does differently.
When I was competing seriously I used to shoot almost daily and also train at a local gym. Since the gym was on my way to work (I carried at this job) I would put my guns (competition and carry) in my gym locker and protected them with the stoutest padlock which would fit the locker. I did NOT bring my shooting bag into the gym. I took great pains to conceal the fact that I was storing guns in the locker and a shooting bag would have been a dead giveaway.
As long as no one knows there is a gun in your locker it is safe. Safer than in your car, IMHO. If you must carry in the gym, a 38 snubby will fit into a rubber ab belt and be fairly comfortable. Make sure it is stainless or you will rot the bluing off in no time.
I have a Kel-tec p3at and it came with a small pouch I just trow it in there and in my pocket.
If its something bigger you could go with a smart carry or fanny pack
fanny packs are just begging for trouble ...........

Might as well wear a sign "I'm packing".
maybe something like this: http://northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=35700&highlight=5.11+undershirt
under a t-shirt perhaps?
i'm looking into purchasing one of these for when i'm wearing business clothes, it appears to work very well and i think it would work good under a loose t-shirt as well.
Yeah, if you're Richard Simmons.fanny packs are part of the work out world for many but usually when outdoors.
Most people unless they are gun owners do not think gun when they see a fanny pack.
Welcome to the neighborhood Mr. Rogers, and no not if you are Richard Simmons. Anyone that wears sweats without pockets or wants something that holds more solidly than sweatpants pockets etc.Yeah, if you're Richard Simmons.

Mr. McFeely asks is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? LOLWhy did I just get an image in my mind ... "Mr Rogers meets Mr. McFeely at the gym ... and one of them has a gun."
I'm going to start drinking early today.
That would work well standing but what about lying down on a bench? I think people would see a wierd bulge on your side.
Considering how many calls my department gets for B&Es into cars at the local gyms I would NOT, I repeat NOT! leave my CCW in my car while working out. The only place that is equally unsafe is the gym locker. Not only will you be out of a sweet gun, you will lose your membership to the gym (most of them prohibit ANY weapons), probably be found unsuitable and have to report the stolen gun to the local PD.
My suggestion? I don't have one. I work out at the PD .
Yeah, if you're Richard Simmons.

whatever you do, don't just stuff it in the locker! Those things get broken into ALL the time!

I have been training in various gyms for over 30 years and never encountered a break in problem as long as the locker was locked, and the member kept the key on his or her person.

There is never a good reason to wear a fanny pack, unless....
...your name is "McFeely"
