Man in our showers

A man has started using the women’s showers in my gym. He openly explained that he is doing so because the owners, Westminster council, have turned down the water temperature in the men’s changing room showers but not the women’s, and he finds the water in the men’s too cold. He’s not pervy but I’m still very uncomfortable having him naked and bathing in our space and worry that it’s just a thin end of a wedge that will lead to the presence of men that are predatory.
I’d like to be able to complain without getting myself into hot water (!). Any ideas?

You choose to start a thread on mumsnet rather than talking to your gym’s management first?

Complain! The fact that you are being hesitant about it just shows how conditioned women are to not make a fuss.

Why would complaining get you in hot water? At my gym, the male cleaners have to check first before they even enter the women's changing room that everyone is ok with them being there.

This is completely out of order- definitely complain.

You can just complain. It's totally fine to say there is a man using your showers and you cannot now access the space, and ask them to fix this problem. You don't need to say anything more.

Complain. 100% complain.
