Weirdest thing you have seen at the gym

[emmzies]

Damn! I wish I had this problem at my gym

Lol :pfft: I bet you do....

4. Put-it-away-girl: wears lyrcra short-short-short-shorts and (what may as well be a bikini) top. The germs she must pickup...

:pfft: There was a girl like that at my gym today. All her jewellery and makeup on too. Was hilarious watching her trying to use the leg adducter machine (I think that is what its called??) adjusting her shorts every second trying not too flash the whole gym

I know the exact machine you mean. It is seriously entertaining watching her do alot of the machines actually. I truly can't see why she bothers. Even when shes on the treadmill she has to adjust her shorts every 30 secs. What is the point? I hate shorts at the gym for this very reason.

1. The guy who sweats like a tap. I mean SERIOUSLY. If you are even within 2 machines of him, either side, you WILL get rained on. Its rather disgusting. He even lays down towels every single side of him which are soaked by the end of his half hour workout.

At my gym the group excercise area is below the cardio machines, and every now and then I've been doing a pump class and have positioned myself in the wrong place - below someone who has rained all over me - grooooooooosssssssssssss!

[joey85]

i heard a guy ask the gym trainer what exercises he can do to "burn fat"off his left peck because aparently it was fatter then the right i just walked off trying not to laugh

[Travel Express]

Was at the gym, doing my weights as usual, and there was this young guy on the treadmill running at a moderate pace and then all of a sudden heard a Slam and a bang he went flying into the wall behind him, the gym just went silent and about 30secs later you hear a personal trainer go "Are you alright?' Then the young guy tries to get back on and almost does it again! funniest thing I've seen in the gym in a long time.

Ahhh... The Yes/No machine

A girl doing bicep curls with 2kgs in one hand for 25mins and then 25mins in the other hand...

It does not really fit the topic but two times recently my mate has skipped going to the gym with me so he can go to KFC :pfft:

[Specter]

Yeah seen a few weird things lately:

1 Guy doing his entire weights workout in bare feet. Gross.

2 Guy working out in his jeans and sunnies. WTF?

3 Brendon Pongia watching a repeat of his Breakfast show while doing cardio - then looking around smiling to see if anyone else was watching. Douche.

Is it mot it a health and safety issue when someone is training in bare feet? Seriously...Gym staff and Instructors should be enforcing gym peeps to wear shoes. :naughty:

[fudoc5]

I spent 2 hours at the gym one night doing boxing, cardio stuff, for the entire time, there was this dude in the changing rooms. Obviously I knew hed been there the entire time as I went for pee breaks and never saw him come into the gym area once.

He was walking around naked, doing this and that, brushing his teeth, sauna etc.

I have never seen him in the gym either. Weird.

:? Sounds a little suspect if you ask me.... I'd avoid the changing rooms.

There are a few wacko's at my gym....

1. The guy who sweats like a tap. I mean SERIOUSLY. If you are even within 2 machines of him, either side, you WILL get rained on. Its rather disgusting. He even lays down towels every single side of him which are soaked by the end of his half hour workout.

2. The lady who comes in, runs like a serious mad woman on the treadmill for 30 minutes then leaves. Without fail. Everyday. No warm up. No cool down. And always at the exact same time.

3. Coffee guy: walks on the treadmill for an hour at about 4kmph whilst drinking coffee from a travel cup. He normally brings in two cups to last him the hour. And i know its coffee because one time he obviously forgot the travel cups so he brought it in paper coffee cups instead. Obviously water is so last year...

4. Put-it-away-girl: wears lyrcra short-short-short-shorts and (what may as well be a bikini) top. The germs she must pickup...

emmzies,do u by any chance train at the uni gym? if so,i think i know the put-it-away girl and the crzy treadmill chick :pfft: ....

Nah i dont, I'm at Les Mills. Lol thank goodness.... i hope these four people aren't ever going to read this...

:pfft: Thats just awesome. Awesome dedication to heart diease that is.

Omg nasty! :doh: You'd quickly learn where NOT to position yourself... plus surely the floor would look a lil damper there...

Oh the joys of the gym!

I know where I would be standing on dead lift day =P~

As long as she is fit to wear the short-short-short-shorts, nothing worse than mutton dressed as lamb and overflowing the seams and capabilities of lycra.

At Les Mills this guy was doing smith machine presses on a swiss ball using 50kg on each side. The swiss ball burst and he crashed to the floor with the weights pinned to his chest. Ended up going to hospital but was just bad bruising.

At another gym someone was doing pull downs when the cable snapped and the bar split his head requiring a trip to get stitches. I watched someone repaired the cable and the very next person to use it did the same thing but this time only bruised homself.

[laurasaur]

I always see weird things at the gym and think man gota member to tell someone about that! But then forget. But this morning!! :shock: I think all the normal people in my town were watching the drifting comp *sigh* and all the weirdos were at the gym (except me :wink: ).

Anyway some guy brought his little boy along he was probably about 9 or something I duno and anyway while the dad was in the weights area the little boy was on the treadmill with it on full speed holding on to the top of the treadmill he legs flying out the back. He looked like he was in one of those wind tunnels and the only thing that was stopping him from flying through the air was his grip on the treadmill.

And no one else in the cardio area even blinked........

So I just pretended I didn't notice either......

ahahahhahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa

lol... just there for the view 8)

I haven't seen her for a while, but there used to be a girl who went to classes at my gym, fully decked out in 80s style gear. I thought she was being ironic at first, or that maybe she was one of the Real Hot Bitches - but after a while my friend and I realised that she was utterly genuine, and that she was fully stuck in a time warp in her 80s vibe, right down to those slidy comb things people then (ok, people like me) used to wear in their hair

we have had a few girls from brazil wearing the leotard and tights. its quite a sight.

Same thing happened at our gym.. I'm scared of lat pull down now!

[laurasaur]

in the weight room a quite strong girl benching got caught under the bar by her pony tail after not quite getting the bar onto the rack....more funny than weird, and definitely worthy of a spot

lol... I can go one up from that, I get trapped by my hair when people spot me when benching... by their feet :pfft: :pale: ew

I have seen people having a protein shake while they are training and I think how stupid can one get

[samoan_muscle]

Whats wrong with that????

Stupidest thing I ever saw...this moron in yellow and black that looked like a buzzy bee that hung around the Xtreme Nutrition store in Auckland city for literally a whole day - apparently the store manager almost called the police on grounds of loitering. Oh wait...that's not in the gym is it.

I try and take some protein during sessions. Sure it does more good than bad anyway.

We were doing Incline DB bench - this arrogant new guy asked to join, so by set no. 3 we were at 35kg and came his turn, think he had a weak spell or something cause his right elbow gave in and the weight dropped straight on his forehead and the other weight came down on top. Huge red spot in the middle of his forehead. :pfft:

My training partners mom used to love using the leg press machine to do calves - so one day doing her normal routine with about 40/60kgs she forgot to put up the stoppers and her toes slipped of the plate and yaa took of most of her shins up to the knee cap :shock: - to this day I ALWAYS put those damn stoppers in when doing calves. :nod:

Then there is always the guy doing double the weight he can handle and doing ¼ of the motion range – and then when he sees you doing the full range with less weight – he presumes to start giving advice – wtf! :evil:

[Peachy]

No one. I was actually the only person in my gym for a whole 15 mintues this morning apart from the guy at the counter. Weird........

[shruglife]

Check this vid gymrat :nod:

[Gym rat]

I have seen people walk through the weights area in there bare feet and I think not my problem if a 20kg plate lands on there foot

[jimjim83]

There use to be an older chap of about 60 years, skinny legs large tummy, who would hog the squat rack for his whole 1 hour workout. He would load it up with 6-7 plates per side stand under the bar and move it ever so slightly. That was a set. Painful to watch even worst when he commented on my dead lifts being a hardcore exercise which he too loved.

The other old girl who would do stiff leg deads in front of me while wearing a mini skirt and turn around hoping for a reaction.

Ive seen girls re-apply make up in the mirrors mid way through workouts.

or a nose scratch while squatting.

1 Guy doing his entire weights workout in bare feet. Gross.

Unless members have the right shoes for Squatting Chucks or Adidas Weightlifting shoes then all their Squats are done Bare Feet, I also urge them to do their Deads in bare feet unless the have Deadlift Slippers, closer to floor the bettter the leverage

Trying to Squat 200kgs with runners is a joke it would be the same as squatting on a Shiny Land rubber flooring, N0 STABILTY.

2 Guy working out in his jeans and sunnies. WTF?

Simple Dress Code for The House.

If you are wearing Jeans you're Doing Chest

If Not You're Doing Legs

But then were not your average gym so what would seem strange to most would be the Norm here.

.

20kgs is gonna break anything in its path the shoe just keeps it together for a little while.
