I tried a variation of that in my gym in Denmark. Men were not allowed to wear tank tops, but women were. I were thrown out of there for saying that they could not discriminate against me, citing the law. I reported it to the equality council who ran a case against them, 6 months later I received 250£ in compensation :)

Equality laws can be turned to your favor :)

A reminder of the previous UK case: https://hequal.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/gym-finally-stop-its-sexist-pricing-policies-the-first-of-many/

Note that second example of Central Fitness are still charging women the lower rate, they've just now sneakily hidden the discrepancy from the main pricing page. Their Facebook still boasts about prices from £12.95 (which is the women's price): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Centralfitness-Gym/312397242283060

They can probaby get away with this, because it is a "ladies kickboxing" package, just sign up for ladies kickboxing? Then raise a stink if they take issue.

He's an archive of the page in case they actually amend things: https://web.archive.org/web/20150903160838/http://oldironworksgym.com/memberships

Looks to me like someone bitched at them about having no women in the gym, so they're desperate to bring in female members.

Nightclubs do it all the time, enticing women with free or cheap drinks, so that the dance floor doesn't become a sausagefest.

I don't think this is an issue. It would be, if it were a public gym at a college or something. But this is a private business and they have the freedom to set their own prices.

It's like with dancing schools or haircuts being cheaper for men. It's basic supply and demand. And if you do not like this price policy, vote with your wallet and go somewhere else.
