I saw somebody lying on a bench hodling the bar and doing leg raises, and after each set he added weight to the bar.

Guy at my old gym (1980's) doing curls in front of the mirror with his trousers round his ankles - purposely round his ankles - he was a funny guy, this was done for effect - at least partially.

One of the greatest gym guys outside of the gym (slightly off topic but a fave story) drove an old vauxhall (1990's) - he was super skinny but always decked out in the newest Gold's/World gym gear.

The car was similarly decked out with stickers (Golds gym amongst others) and it was a banger even then - across the side of the car (both sides) in huge letters, front to back was the words "Warrant to Pose" ..... except the word "Warrant" was spelt "Warrent". Even Alanis Morrisette would understand this irony.

Does he stay in that position for the entire clip?

He's an older guy, could be stretching a serious back problem and relaxing his spinal erectors

I could be wrong though

Was that boar?

If you have shoulder problems or issues with your transverse obliques or even lack stability walking around with a dumbbell above your head isn't the worse thing in the world

Many rehab exercises look gay as though I think we can agree

some fat meathead in my gym does "t-bar rows" with about 15 plates on the bar and does a quater squat shrug type movement with the bar. Ronnie does it, so it'll get you massive (quads)

Most of these are more disturbing than weird, but over the years at my gym I've seen:



  • Someone step in dogs**t in the changing rooms.

  • A dog come and piss on the weights stack on the rowing machine, whilst I was performng rows.

  • A full stack pulldown cable snap and smash a guys skull open with the bar. A large puddle of blood formed on the floor which eventually coagulated and the dog mentioned earlier came along and lapped it up. The guy was later offered free membership as compensation.

  • Human s**t smeared all over the toilet seat and walls.

  • When it rains the floors are covered with empty protein buckets to catch the water that leaks in and through the light fittings.

  • The hack squat machine smeared with blood.

  • A scruffy guy came into reception from the toilets and asked for toilet roll as he'd 'just done a s**t', only to be told there was none. The said guy then went on to do a full workout. He has since been banned.

  • A few police raids.

  • Staff getting sacked for stealing from the till.

  • Years ago, police used to train there and some often went to the 'juice room' to have a jab.

  • Half the gym patrons incarcerated for various criminal activities.

  • A young lad who worked on reception made a joke with a bloke you don't really make jokes about. They locked him in the boot of his car for over an hour. 'For a laugh'.

  • Staff handing over big plain envelopes full of roids in full view in reception, and then talking about dosages of said package contents etc.

  • Someone pissing in the shower fully clothed.

  • Someone having a shower fully clothed.



I'm pretty sure there's more

My old gym had four treadmills lined up side by side, watched curiously one day as a group of young lads set them to full speed then tried to run across them, gotta say they had me in stitches as they each in turn face planted the carpet....

saw a middle aged diabetic man slip into a hypo on the leg press machine in the pleasance. a queue of students formed waiting for him to get off and they didnt even realise there was an issue until 2 paramedics started squooshing ribena down his throat.

a member of another gym got his cock out at the reception and told everyone there it looked funny and asked for advice on what to do with it.
