I think that if you were female and there was a male attendent, this was highly inappropriate. You should file a written complaint with the gym management. Even though a gym closes at 10PM, it would not be unexpected that someone would still be showering at 10:05.

Sure. Start showering earlier so that you are out the door by 10:00 pm. Of the two people left in the gym at 10:05 p.m. the male attendant was the one who did nothing wrong.

The gym no doubt posted its hours and you no doubt got warning of the gym closing time and the need to be out, so this momentary violation of your privacy has to be balanced by the fact that after 10pm, you were a trespasser in the gym and the gym personnel had the right to hurry you up.
