Classic gym moments/Creepy people at the gym

Once I was sitting in the sauna alone after working out and this real old man walks in, buck *kitten* naked. Naturally I said something to the effect of 'Hey how ya doin?' and he answers with 'Great now that I'm in here with you'. For about 10 seconds I was completely caught off guard and speechless...He just locked his gaze on me and made it that much more awkward. I got up and left less than a minute after.

Needless to say...I don't go in the sauna anymore.

I know the feeling, I slipped and fell on a naked colleague when I left the steam room....still feels awkward running into him at meetings.

LOL! Priceless. I can only imagine the gravity of that face-palmingly awkward situation, haha.

WAIT are you saying you go in the sauna naked or your colleague does?

Lol do you guys realise, that in most european countries and Russia, we do Sauna naked? Even mixed? ...
anyway, seriously creeped out today... or actually near to give someone a nice punch in the face. There is me, sweating my bum off on the bike after 50mins of cross trainer and this vloke climbs on the bik next to me... to continously stare at me for the duration of his 20min work out... and he stunk of alcohol... really made me go all aggressive again (and I had relaxed so nicely)

One thing you can try with harassers is to say in a loud voice, "Hey man in red shirt (identify/describe him), I notice you have been standing there for 2 minutes staring (describe the behavior) and this is NOT OK. MOVE ALONG." You are essentially announcing to others that you are being harassed by a stranger and it helps to have witnesses just in case... it alerts others and gets their help basically. Also it might embarrass the harasser and he'll deny that he's doing that (but stop it) or just slink away.

at my gym from the locker rooms you can go into the gym or the pool area...the pool area is closed off, but has huge windows that are right by all the cardio machines. Apparently a lady thought she was still in the locker room and was walking completely naked through the pool area, which of course EVERYONE could see, oops!!!!

The other day my friend and I were at the lat pull-down machine and noticed a male trainer with two well-endowed female clients. I don't know what the deal was with these girls but they both had ginormous implants and matching white tank tops. Judging by the rapport they had I'm going to assume they were all friends which might excuse some of the behaviour.

Anyhow, at this point he's instructing them to do some supremely awkward, suggestive looking moves when I notice girl A is not wearing a bra...YES, her nipples are clear as day (well, not clear...lol). Then he suggests to her that she try a handstand push up. OMG. a) Creepy. b) People pay to see that stuff at strip clubs.

Sadly, she didn't oblige him

At my gym, each locker room has a hot tub. So everyone in there is naked (as they are in the saunas, etc). Everyone. No big deal, usually. A couple months ago I was in there by myself. An older woman stepped in. Then she put on goggles. Goggles? My mind started racing, why the frig would you possibly need goggles in a hot tub? My mind is flying through and dismissing every possible explanation for this oddity. Finally she puts her head under. I get up and leave. I'm still searching for an explanation. My husband insists it's innocent. !!!
