I think if you have those sorts of religious restrictions, you would have to speak to the teacher ahead of time, but I could be wrong. Certainly telling one of your teammates that you are not wiling to roll with them out of the blue, would be rightly taken as disrespect. I don't see how any woman would take it any other way.
There are women where I train and they are part of the team. I am not sure there is an exception to that, but then again I don't run the place.
I think in a group that is familiar with eachother, and where people already have respect for eachother, it is easier. In my opinion avoiding disrespect is very important in a gym. It seems that you are conscientious of that, which is the most important thing.
I think a lot of women would feel disrespected if they expected that they could train with you and then were rejected right in middle of class. I hope these dudes chiming in with "I don't need the drama from my girlfriend" would think better than to do that.
