I bought a membership for a video store in North Carolina which required all my personal info, so I guess it just depends on the establishment.
Wouldn't fret too much about it -- have never, ever heard of this collected information being used against anyone. There's no crime here -- it's a private club, you bought a membership, what's a prosecutor going to do about that? They'd have to get a warrant for that info as well -- on what grounds? And even if they had it, they aren't going to print it in the paper -- again, no crime to being a member of a private club.
Some baths will HOLD your license while you are in the facility -- a little insurance, I guess, but they do not all copy down the info it contains (though many DO). Ask the club you wish to patronize if they retain this info or not.
Alternately, some clubs allow guests without a membership. It usually costs more, though. If guest information is not stored, you may wish to pay the extra fee and not join the club. But again, some clubs DO retain guest info, so make sure you ask.
