DaMosher, before people attack you for your comment, with which I agree, many comments here are based on sheer ignorance of what actually goes on in a mixed gym, while yours more accurately reflects the reality. If a gym in the situation you describe is off limits, so should bowling alleys, playgrounds and supermarkets. I sense that misinformation went into the position on the Internet. I don’t know how many of those who have spoken out against it actually have used it but relied on what they were told. As for the comparison to kashrus, these are people who see everything in halachah as black and white and don’t realize there are shades that must be considered.
