A former San Luis Obispo gym owner who admitted to illegally recording patrons at his facility is now in custody.

Although sentencing for Cole Charles Corrigan was postponed, he surrendered Tuesday at San Luis Obispo County Superior Court to begin serving his one-year sentence in County Jail.

The investigation into Corrigan began in August after a client at CCC Fitness reported finding a hidden camera in the bathroom.

In September, officers served a search warrant at Corrigan’s Morro Bay home and reported finding a ghost gun, ammunition and testosterone.

Corrigan has a prior felony conviction for possessing narcotics for sale and was prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

In November, he pleaded guilty to the illegal video recording of two customers at the gym and possessing a handgun.

The plea agreement came with 364 days in county jail and probation.

On Tuesday, San Luis Obispo County Superior Court Judge Jesse Marino granted a request by both the prosecution and Corrigan’s defense attorney to move the official sentencing to January 30 of next year to allow more time to iron out the terms of his probation.

Corrigan placed his gym up for sale and a new gym is now open in its place.
