We've all seen funny things at the gym, lets hear your story!!! Mine...I was on a cardio machine, which was right outside the pool. The pool area could be seen as the whole wall was glass between the cardio area and the pool. The locker rooms had an exit into the pool area and one day a lady walked out into the pool area completely nude, I'm assuming she was walking to the showers in the locker room but wasn't paying attention at all. She walked about half way down the pool before she realized what she had done. Although, I'm sure she didn't find it funny, I about fell off my machine!!!

    Funniest thing I ever saw in the gym is anyone going to one. Since anyone who goes to one eventually gets made fun of by their fellow gym goers in an MFP thread.

    Dis me

    I'm sure it's me too. I'd rather power walk in a suburban subdivision full of McMansions on a road with no sidewalks in 100 degree heat with 85% humidity.

    So....the funniest thing...was me lol. I was doing small group personal training and our trainer had us warming up with a cardio competition - who could row 500 meters the fastest. Well, I'm super competitive, so I was ready for her to say GO! Unfortunately, I was not seated on my rower correctly, and when I flung myself back with my legs, I flew straight off the rower! My feet were strapped in, so the rower came with me as I flew backwards into the wall and landed with my butt straight on the metal bar on the bottom of the rower. My trainer almost peed herself she was laughing so hard...and it was SO LOUD. Like, it felt like the entire gym froze and looked at me. It was pretty hilarious. Needless to say....I lost the challenge hahaha.

    Omg thats great and the best part is you laughed at yourself!!! I'm sure I've done plenty of stupid stuff that had people laughing at me too!!!!

    I saw a person on these bouncy shoe things hitting the bag. It was quite comical.

    This old pothead in my condo gym ran on the treadmill wearing flip-flops, cranked the speed and incline to where he had to LITERALLY hang on for dear life, and jumped off to the sides of the treadmill to stand on it and watch Family Feud for 10 mins at the time.
    He did this repeatedly for years. No idea how he didn't seriously hurt himself.
    .... edited to say, maybe he did - haven't seen him around for a while :hushed:

    Old guy (at least he’s there) not sure what he’s doing some sort of crunch but his head is the only thing that moves and he rolls over side to side as well. He will do it for half hour but it’s all he does

    I guess a lady forgot her gym clothes because she exercised in a camisole and PANTIES. When she went to get her clothes, I saw that she forgot her lock too.

    If someone had taken her clothes ... then what?????

    I've ripped the *kitten* out of my pants while squatting...pretty funny for everyone. I've never really seen anything funny in the gym other than that though.

    Someone hung up some resistance bands in the studio and one was round their foot. They hit the deck with style as they went to walk away!

    I saw this lady one time using a kitchen towel for a gym towel. It looked kinda thin (no terry cloth vibes on this one) and it had that used-to-be-white yellowish color.... with a rooster on it lol. I didn't think it was that funny when I saw it. I was just like, "Ah? Hm." But then later on I started busting out laughing while I was driving. I remembered how she had that towel thrown over her shoulder like she was tending to a pot of spaghetti.

    ...when I got to the part of the rooster... :D The lemon print dishcloth was probably in the wash!
    You crack me up!

    This one time I was walking into my friends gym in urgent need of a restroom. My friend distracted pointed me in the direction of the restrooms. Without looking up at the obvious sign that indicated it was the male dressing room, I rushed in. The guy putting on a new pair of underwear politely told me I walked into the side of the doorway. Of course my friend noticed and she had a good laugh.

    Yeah I've walked into the men's room while distracted. Thank GOD no one was in there at the time. Oopsie.

    In my gym, there was a lady who came in about 5 minutes before the class I take. She would sit on a changing room bench, take a book out of her bag, and read placidly for about 45 minutes (the lenght of the class). When people started coming back after the class, she put the book back in the bag, had a shower and left. Every day for nearly a year.

    (I can just assume somebody made her go to the gym, so she went... but she never took any exercise at all).

    The funniest thing I have seen in the gym was me- too bad it wasn't recorded, I probably could have sent it into America's Funniest Home Videos and won. During my usual workout at the gym, I noticed a few people on the assisted lift pull-up machine and decided to try it myself. I thought I had it right, grab the bars, climb onto the platform and BOOM- went straight down! I was left hanging there for a moment thinking "*kitten*! How do I get down from here!?!" I did eventually manage to climb off it and learned my lesson- when in doubt, ASK! Hahaha.
