Gym Carry?

[rmg200]

I work out a lot 4-5 days a week and was curious about gym carry? Do any of you do it? If so, what is the best way to do it? I bring a gym bag with me when I lift so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I carry to and from, but not while working out. I keep it locked in the locker room, inside my duffle bag, that's inside a padlocked locker (think 3/8" steel Master Lock) that would need some serious cutters to get off.

380 auto in a jogging pouch. It's always by my side; if I need it than it's only a zipper pull away.

I was considering getting a fanny pack....but idk. Im only 21. I'm not sure I am ready to wear a fanny pack...

I keep my gym bag by my stations (need to for chalk, wrist wraps, etc.), so I just keep it in there. It is always by my side.

I might try the gym bag approach. Thanks

You're not.

I've been thinking of getting a pocket gun like the Bodyguard .380, LCP or even the 238 because they are light enough to not weigh down my gym pants.

Or maybe post #640 was you. Busted and looking for other options?

man I can only imagine how the soccer moms would react to seeing me OC in an ankle rig around my gym lol. I tried CC'ing in my pants pockets, that worked until I went to my deadlift station. That hurt

TYM has a video about his Gym carry situation. It's a fanny pack:

I think a temporary reduction in safety is worth a temporary increase in safety. (think about...)

Plus, I really wouldn't want to worry about my firearm or have it digging in my hip while squating or swing kettlebells.

TYM looks like the kinda guy who'd carry a fannypack at the gym. Wait, he doesn't look like the kind of guy at a gym!

With all the weapons in a gym, why have a gun on you? I can see having one close by but not on you.

I second the ankle rig idea it is not only convenient for the situation but also very stylish

Have you considered a belly band?

It may be impossible to keep your pistol on your person DURING a workout. For days I lift I will many times wear a lift belt. I will keep my firearm in my gym bag next to my squat rack since I will not move from it. However, on days where I'm doing high intensity workouts, lock it up. I sweat too much and my movements would prohibit me from wearing it. There are some times where you are just not going to be able to carry it. Theft at gyms are FAR more likely than violence. Once again, I will restate that fact that just because you disarm for an hour during your workout doesn't mean you are UNARMED. The sheepdog does not revert to a sheep when not carrying.

I've always kept my pistol in my gym bag. I have my water bottle , towels and my straps in it also so where I go , the bag always follows. I don't trust gym lockers, and I only keep it in my car at work( where we have guards). On leg days I've worn one of those tactical t-shirts where the gun fits right under the armpit. Most people relize that gym bags are off limits.

My workouts are too extreme to be able to carry a gun.
