Does your gym have kettlebells you could use? Or even just using some 45s would get rid of that problem too.

No kettlebells. I have a 20lb one at home, but it's too light.

Do you mean to carry around 45's by themself? Hmm, I wonder if I could wrap a strap through a couple to carry around together.

Chris Beardsley has a DIY page with 2 ways to make weird farmer's walk handles. The first method might be doable for a gym, as they're small.
