Belly Band Holster for Gym Carry?
Anyone ever use a belly band holster for concealed carry? I need SOMETHING for my carry guns for when I got to the gym. I tried using my IWB holster in my gym pants, tried pocket carry but that's not working very well.
This is what I'm looking at. Nearly 2700 reviews, nearly a 5 star average.

Re: Belly Band Holster for Gym Carry?
That's a really high rating for that many feedbacks. I've been meaning to find something else since my current IWB really cuts into my hip (and it's a Galco Sto - not exactly terrible), but didn't want to invest in a Crossbreed for just a KelTec PF9.
Just bought the one you suggested. Thanks for raising the question!Ragged Hole Manufacturer

It may not be fun doing squats.

That band is pretty bulky for gym carry.
I guess it depends how intense your workouts are and if you don't mind printing.
I have used fully elastic belly bands that are much lower profile.
No band will be super comfortable sweating in the gym or taking a run, but the elastic one is more practical if used with a small frame gun.
You need to keep it as light as possible with just a small gun and maybe your keys and a credit card/cash, but you will still print anyway.
I used one more like this: https://www.amazon.com/Yosoo-Waistba...83203008&psc=1How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Too much weight added when I'm doing my 5 minute planks. That's why they put locks on lockers.

I use a 5.11 fanny pack for the gym or wearing gym shorts without pockets.

Re: Belly Band Holster for Gym Carry?
I have that one and it works well but I suspect it will only survive one quick draw because of the way the retention strap attaches. I use it running in the river trails.
I think instead of carrying a pistol while working out at the gym, I would find a safer gym and leave it in the car or my locker.
