I've just gotta believe Dan John has an answer to this.

I lifted once with my wedding band on. Scratched the crap out of my ring and it was also uncomfortable. Now I always take it off and throw it on my watch band, my wife only minds if I forget to put the ring back on after I leave the gym (which only happened once).

that's a tough one. We have 1-2 wedding sets forgotten at the gym each week...I have though about ransoming them back to the owners but threat of death has prevented that action.
Dont loose the ring!

I do the exact same thing. The knurling on the bars at my gym are pretty aggressive. If I kept my ring on, it would be completely chewed away by now.
A couple of times I've left my watch at home and just left the ring in a locker with everything else, but that makes me a bit nervous. |

I take mine off and hide it in the car. If I forget, I simply put it in my pocket during the workout. If you're worried about it falling out, I suggest pockets with zippers.

The shorts I wear to workout have a drawstring waist and I tie it to the shorts, if I am wearing board shorts I will tie into one of my shoestrings.
Can't forget to put it back on if it is part of the the required actions to get undressed.

I take mine off and string it on my shoelaces. Then I double knot.

This method has also worked for me in the past when I've forgotten my watch.

What we did at CCF was to install a valuables shelf in plain view inside the gym.
One shelf for watches
One for wallets
One for weding bands
we have only had someone forget their bands once then we installed the shelves and it didn't happen after that. It worked well! Unfortunately we don't have a gym at this point so now people are on their own.
