Kind sucks since I've had a life membership since the mid 90s. I comply here since ironically my gun is safer in my car safe then those lockers in the dressing room. People routinely get their lockers broken into there.

I see your other postings on other businesses, but this one I must ask, is it a compliant?

Bally's on University near Lexington (Midway St. Paul) is posted in compliance, too. I've had a membership with them since they were U.S. Swim & Fitness (longer than I like to admit). But, I figure what I save on membership I can use to buy more guns ! That's one of the few concessions I make.

I've never had any problem with them. When my husband died, they refunded the remainder of his membership for that year - no hassle at all. ('course if you've read the comments from plblark, Brit and jac714 you'll maybe understand why)

The branch of the YMCA that I work out at posts (non-compliantly). It seems that all of the major health club chains post, so I don't really have a choice in the matter.
That being said, I wouldn't bring my carry piece in anyway, as the locker thefts described on this thread seem to occur with great frequency at all clubs, even at my location, in a quiet residential neighborhood. The Y does all that they can short of putting cameras in the showers, but it still happens. Someone lost $90+ out of their wallet just the other day.
I do have a funny story that happened there one day. As I was leaving, a disabled worker and friend of mine named Brad (quadriplegic) that greets patrons and answers the phone called me over. He was laughing as he told me the following (paraphrased):
After I had checked in earlier, a "soccer mom" type woman had come over to him all agitated and worked up. He asked her what was wrong. She said, "That man (meaning me) that just checked in was wearing a HOLSTER!!
Brad said, "So?"
The lady said, "That means he carries a gun!!!"
Brad said, "So? We ask people to leave them in their cars, and he does. What's the problem?
The lady said, "You mean you aren't going to do anything? He's got a holster on!!"
Brad said, "Lady, it's a piece of leather. What do you think he's going to do with it?"
At that, the lady huffed off. You'd have to know this guy to appreciate how dry his humor can be, and how it must have just sent this lady over the edge.

That's hilarious!
