Funniest thing you've ever seen at the gym.

this aint really funny, but there's this man that comes to my gym... he's about, i dunno, early 40's, comes with his son, probably about 10 and his wife... well, while the wife is doing some sort of reasonable routine, this man and his son stand at the little fence that separates the machine area from the free weight area and stare at everyone for an hour... they've been doing this for the past week and a half...

yesterday i went to the manager and said if that perv and his little kid stare at me one more time while i'm doing my squats i'm going to charge them a viewing fee... hello, the gym is not a spectator sport!! !( i mean we all look at people occassionally, but this guy just stands there and stares!!!) arrrrghhh...

We get a weekly show at my gym, every wednesday night. Older guy, 55 or so, comes in with his wife. Usually wears spandex shorts and a jacket with no shirt. The ritual is always the same.

He comes up to the squat rack and loads on about 405. No stretching, warmup, nothing like that. The jacket comes off. The dutiful wife loads him up with baby powder or some shit like that. And then, to finish Act 1, she helps him squeeze in to one of those rubber power shirts.

Then Act 2. 30 seconds of huffing and puffing followed by say four or five dead lift reps. The guy screams so much you'd think he was giving birth. And that's usually it. The wife peels off the power shirt. Jacket goes back on and they're off.

I'm looking into getting it on mpeg.

Again, this may not be as funny as it is scary, but here is my lil story. Last week we had the rehab guy ronald in the gym working out. By rehab i mean he has had a few to many heroin injections to say the least. He comes in in a fast paced walk swining his arms all around and huffing and puffing. He will sit down on the seated row machine and pull away , only to realize 80 lbs is way to light. Him only weighing in at about 90 lbs and 40 some years old. He gets up after one rep and puts it on like 200lbs. He starts pulling the weight then just lays down to finish rep, when he comes back up his entire body is off the seat and he is being pulled up onto his feet. When he is done he asks the person three machines down if they are using the machine he is sitting on. Pisses me off so bad, because he is gawking and disturbing the time and efforts of everyone in the gym. SO i did my civic duty and wrote a three page compalint about him to get him committed or something. Like i said not, so funny as it is scary.... but it is my lil story.

FatGuy oh yeah lost another 3 lbs since last week. down 25lbs now......

Seen plenty of people doing barbell bench press without a spotter and you'll never guess what happens: They attempt more than they can handle, get stuck, and everyone has to jump to their rescue. Geez, that is sensless. People who do swinging barbell curls, very amusing. People who load up the hack squat or leg press and do partials and think they're doing full presses. People that use more bad form than good form.

this older man couldn't remember the combo or lost his key to his lock in the locker room so he went to the front desk in his undies, no less, instead of his workout clothes(assuming that he had already taken a shower), to have someone remove his lock. well the people at the front desk were busy so he made several trips to and from the locker room and the whole gym was just making fun of this guy. finally after about a half hour, someone broke his lock, and he left fully clothed and the people in the free weight area applauded.

Coed locker room...

Used to work-out at a gym that had a non-coed sauna in one of the locker rooms. So to be fair, they switched the men's and women's locker room daily.

Of course, some of us crude dudes would accidentally on purpose, walk into the ladies locker room. While all the women were screaming "Get OUT!" and running for their towels, we would stand there scratching our heads playing dumb and say "Hey, this is the mens' locker room isn't it? I was just in here yesterday!"

When the inverse happened and a women stumbled into the men's locker room, the guys would do just the opposite of the women and drop their towels, going "Check out this muscle development, baby!"

It was so much fun till they finally renovated the facilities.

Ever seen a group of girls sitting on the ground in a circle, cross legged, facing each other, talking?

I saw these 3 GUYS around 16 yrs old or so, come into the Gym, and right in the middle of the FreeWeight area plot down and start chatting like a bunch of N'Sync teenie boppers.

About 4-5 of us all looked at each other and thought, WTF???

They sat there till this big dude walked over and accidently(ha ha) tripped over them and crashed into them knocking them all on the floor...
