    I never write in these things, but this reminded me of a few years back I was on an elliptical and a lady got onto the one next to me and had just went to Starbucks and had a HOT drink in her cup holder...odd

    The other day i looked up and there was this guy in the "ab" area dancing away. He looked like he was rehersing something like if he was a back up dancer. The movements alone were pretty funny but what really topped it was the facial expressions. Every move he made came with a different facial expression. There was a guy that went into that area to work out and took one look and walked out. i guess he couldnt workout there withought laughing!

    there are a lot of replies here so I apologize if this was asked, but how do some of those people not die in that video of the workout fails. I mean a fully loaded barbell falling on your neck can't be good and why do some of them seem to pass out, that doesn't seem right. yikes.

    I don't know either. There's a lot of vomiting though. :smile:

    LOL yes, gawkers. I was on the treadmill once, warming up and doing a brisk walk and this guy walks behind me... I could see him in the mirror across the room.. and he just stood there and pretended to stretch while watching me. Wtf do you do in that situation?

    I, personally, would let out a loud and smelly fart. Might make them think twice about gawking again.

    I had belonged to a small neighborhood women's gym. There was an older lady who would come in and get on every piece of cardio equipment for about a minute and then leave. Every. Piece. She wasn't quite dressed for exercise but would do the aerobic video style warm-ups before her round. Needless to say, she would be in there for only 10 minutes but it was a pretty weird experience, especially if you were alone.

    I was once in the gym changing room getting ready for my workout - and this women walks out of the shower butt-naked; walks over to where I'm changing as if the entire room wasn't empty and starts chatting to me about my sports bra which was weird enough, but whilst she talked she was drying herself; down-there! lol some people really have no shame...

    A few years back a few I used to go to Bodypump classes with a few of the ladies from work and one day a couple of the guys decided to join us. Of course, they went straight to the heaviest weights that they could while we were using our little 'girly' weights. It was very funny to watch them sweat, pant, struggle and almost damage themselves while trying to look cool :) . I miss Bodypump!

    I have a Precor elliptical in my home and I haven't been to a gym for >10 yrs. I am inexperienced with all gym equipment except for the elliptical. Certainly, the desultory remarks about people like me in this thread have reinforced my steadfast determination never to visit a gym again.

    There is this really tall man with a mop of curly hair that always just goes straight for the treadmill. Once he gets started he puts it on prob the steepest incline it will hit and turns up the speed and holds on while running !! Fair play to him I couldnt run up a hill but he looks like hes holding on for dear life lol :D

    There's a couple of girls who go to one of my gyms that freak me (and a few others out). They are twins, very slim, pretty, long blonde hair, hard to tell their age, could be anything between 18-28). The only use the treadmill and the elliptical but they train together doing exactly the same work-out. You see one nod to the other when it's time to increase the speed or whatever. Sometimes their Mum comes along too and they all three do EXACTLY the same thing.

    This is weird enough but even weirder is that in the changing rooms, they help each other to get dressed etc and dry each others hair. It's just very freaky to see!

    I go to a small gym that seems quite normal. I do suspect I provide the main entertainment at present. I am trying to master the power clean. Apparently not very sussessfully, when i glance in the mirror and find I look more like an epileptic penguin than an in control lifter. And my trainer was muttering about snatches being next :ohwell:

    this was me the first time i did a body pump class. first 10 minutes i kept up, next 10 minutes i skipped every other rep, next 10 i thought about all the mistakes i have made in life, the next 15 i tried not to crap myself or throwup in the room
