What's the funniest thing you saw in the gym????

[Sassy69]

I'm still laughing from the guy breaking the mirror!

OK Here's a couple I've seen lately:

1) The lady who rides the stationary bike but never actually sets it to start because she can't figure it out -- just starts pedaling

2) This chubby old guy who comes in and starts doling out advice about how to lift because he "used to own a gym up north" -- he has amazing form on that full body swing he does for bicep curls -- I'm considering giving him my physical therapist's card....

3) The 2 girls who stack 2 1/2 lb plates on the leg press and proceed to tell me they are "going for reps, not weight"...

4) The punk who tells me I should be using the "silver weights" (you know -- the "women's weights") while I'm doing my 30 lb curls -- as I look over to see his buddy turning bright red because he is using the "silver weights"...

5) The girl in the gym w/ her boyfriend trying to figure out how to do cable rows, except she squeels a little fart out ....

one of my friends tim was benching about 280 and he was stuck and there was this guy standing next to him and tim was trying to get the guy to come help him but he wasn't paying attention and so tim proceeded dump the weight.. this was early in the morning and as the weights fell off the right the left side of course with more weight jacked the right side up and about that time the guy turned around and BAM right under the chin KO baby i'm sure it hurt but it was hilarious I came in from the cardio room and the guy was just laying on the floor holding his chin thats what he gets for not paying attention but luckily he wasn't hurt.

This is too funny. I can't even imagine how stupid that looked.

my favorite incident was a few years ago, i was doing db presses and this 40+ year old man was on the tread mill. he moved his feet to the sides of the belt while it was spinning and i hear him yell "HEY HONEY WATCH THIS." he cranked up all the way and proceeded to just on the moving belt while it was hauling ass. next thing you know SPLAT! my friend that i was training with yelled at the trainer he knew real well, " AARON GET THE SPATULA, WE HAVE ANOTHER DIPSHIT ON THE TREADMILLS. "
ive probably seen funnier shit like when my friend brad farted every rep for 6 reps while doing leg presses. this was next to a couple of hot girls on the machine next to us. these jsut stick out in my head right now

The guy who came in this week, got all dressed up in
his exercise outfit, did 10 situps, then changed back
into his business clothes and left.
Wonder if he showered, too.

Or how about the people who come in, wander from
station to station like tourists, do about 3 reps on each
with no weight, then leave?

Or how about the looks I get from these people
when I do a primal scream to get my last chest
fly rep? Also I have a boom box playing Wagner
or Beethoven, which helps the effect.

I listen to lectures on audiotape while lifting...
try doing bench press while grunting really
loud with a tape in the background that has
some Harvard prof droning on about Heidegger's
"On being and nothingness"... that gets some stares.
I always feel good when I've made
someone's day a little more surreal.

You guys rag on people that aren't sure what they are doing in the gym, instead maybe help them out- where you not also a beginner at one time? anyway enough of the public service message,...there is this trainer guy at my gym, big dude, except he has glasses and wears pink, yes pink spandex short shorts...he walks around like he is a bad ass but sorry buddy, I dont care how bad you think you are-or how big you are, your wearing fucking PINK spandex shorts...what a homo....I laugh at his goofy ass every time I see him training someone..Also another funny one is the 150 pound guy doing neck exercises on the neck machine...ummm.....like it is gonna matter, better get that neck in shape!! Another funny one that is actually unrelated to the gym is - my friend was bragging about how his brother has huge triceps, so I was like how big are his arms, so he says "10.5 inches!", I almost fell off the couch laughing.....hahaha. I am pretty skinny at 178 pounds and I have 16 inch arms....that would make allot of you guys absolutely massive by comparison eh? 10.5 is HUGE!!!
