Posted by michaellocke on 07-27-2010 9:55 AM

Never leave gym bags, wallets, pocketbooks, briefcases and other valuables unattended, even for a moment.
Avoid bringing high value items such as expensive watches and jewelry, large amounts of cash, laptop computers, cameras, etc., to the health club.
Remember, gym lockers are not intended to secure high value items.
Ask if the club has special lockers for valuables, located in an area under constant surveillance of staff and/or video cameras.
Bring a good quality keyed lock or combination lock (without a serial number or remove serial number) to secure the locker.
Alternate the locker you utilize.
Always double check that your locker is properly secured, before walking away.
Never leave your locker open and unattended, even for a brief period such as showering, or using the restroom inside the locker room.
Be aware of who is around you at all times.
Report suspicious persons/incidents to club personnel. Note physical characteristics, clothing descriptions and mannerisms of suspicious persons.
Always report stolen property to health club staff and the police.
