I love this thread! I'm glad it was resurrected.0

I was taking a power yoga class with a friend for the first time. We set up our mats in the back. I noticed my husband's (newly divorced) boss come in. Apparently he was a regular because he was chatting up all the ladies. He didn't notice me, but set his mat up right in front of me. He was wearing very loose, short shorts. Unfortunately, during my first downward dog I was faced with the fact he was also NOT wearing any underwear! I made it through half of the class before I was laughing so hard, I had to roll up my mat, grab my shoes and ditch my friend. I don't think he ever realized...but the company Christmas party has never been the same for me.
omg! Wayyy too funny!!!0 -
Took a step class at my school's rec center? The cheerleader in front of me had serious whale tail going on in the back... and kept rolling her waistband ever lower....:noway: I hated class that day...0

This was inspired by the skimpy bikini wearing cyclist.
Thongs and ten-speeds are half the reason I vacation in key west.
The worst so far was me. After watching someone try for about 5 minutes to do a pullup, flopping around like a snagged kipper, I thought I'd offer some help. After introducing myself and finding that he was receptive to advice I showed him how to use a resistance band, looped over the bar to help him take some of the body weight off. I guided him through one or two to make sure he had the form and then went over the the free weights.
I few minutes later I heard a sound like a melon hitting a tuning fork of immense proportions. Seems he somehow got a little overzealous and managed to use the band as a slingshot and propelled himself into the bar above head first. I checked him out and sadly sent him to the hospital with a minor concussion.0 -
Was on the treadmill and a guy got on the weight bench in front of me and he didnt have ANY underwear on and his "baby bird" was looking at me! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And I do mean BABY bird, lmao) :sick:0

just funny weightlifting failures...
saw a guy trying to squat a rediculous amount of weight on the smith machine! the entire machine flipped over. no injuries
saw a guy trying to squat several plates on each side of the barbell without securing the ends. unfortunately he misscounted the number of plates on each side. you can picture what happened next0 -
Last time I was at the gym there was a woman running on a treadmill two down from me and she kept saying things out loud to herself like:
YEAH BABY YOU CAN DO IT
YOU ARE HOT YEAH YEAH FIVE MORE MINUTES
MAMA'S IN THE HOME STRETCH
OH YEAH YOU ARE ON FIRE MAMA
DADDY IS GOING TO LOVE YOU TONIGHT
I thought it was adorable but it was so weird and I tried not to laugh and I didn't want to get in the way of her self motivational awkward speeches so I ended up moving across the gym to do something else. She was also my mom's age so it was super weird.
She should probably get an ipod and record herself saying these things so I don't have to hear her yell it to herself. Then again if she's anything like my mother (who she reminded me of, which is why it was so weird in the first place) then she probably doesn't know how to use anything like an ipod.
lol..that is hilarious!0 -
After reading this I have decided 1. My gym is heaven 2. I'm going to make a concious effort to watch what I do while there 3. People are CRAZY! 4. There is now, nor has there ever been, any danger of me walking around naked in ANY public place. I consider the gym locker room public! Lol0

Ok, I can't for the life of me figure out what "whale tail" is...0 -
Whale tail: when the thong rises up over the waistband...appearing like the tail of a whale. Mostly done on purpose. **shudders**0

We call this one guy coo coo bird. While hes watching TV on the treadmill he comments outloud and when i mean outloud i mean LOUD. If he's watching a sports game ever other second "OHHHHHH" "COME ON!!!" "WHAT THE BLEEP". If he's watching a sitcom he laughs hysterically outloud, sometimes it seems he's even talking to himself. Then trots around the gym with a possesed look on his face.0

There is a middle aged woman at my gym that ALWAYS wears these grey cotton cheerleading shorts. 1. The shorts are very tight , very short, and give her a mega wedgie. 2. She is a major sweater and ends up with a very noticeable sweat stain in her butt crack every time!
She works out with her husband too and he obvisouly has never said anything to her! I made my husband promise to tell me if I ever had that problem!
That is soooo funny and gross yes i have seen it toooo!!! i love to read these keep it coming great idea for some laughs!!0 -
OMG im laughing so hard im gonna fall out of my chair!!! some one said " his baby bird was showing!!" LMAO I have a great imagination.. dang!! all these stories and I can see it all!!! I have to go to pee pee now ....sorry lol0
-
LOL at the pubes comment....
Bigger LOL at the eating french fries while on the machine...
I once saw a >300 pound woman fall off the back of the treadmill, and everyone in the gym started laughing... no one even moved towards her. I ran across the gym ... I felt soo bad for her.
She had broken her ankle and that is why she went down ...
see my irrational fear of treadsmills isnt so irrational0 -
bump so i can continue reading later at home....0

I was taking a power yoga class with a friend for the first time. ... He was wearing very loose, short shorts. Unfortunately, during my first downward dog I was faced with the fact he was also NOT wearing any underwear! I made it through half of the class before I was laughing so hard, ....
been there! I thought that was bad until about a month later I walked into the showers to witness the Asian "sisters" having "fun" in the handicapped shower stall together. And they are all very old ladies.... the trauma. I canceled my Bally's gym membership shortly after that.0 -
Parents encouraging their far-too-old and of-opposite-sex children to accompany them into the locker room. Cringe.
Old men trying to tell my ex how to use equipment, and doing so incorrectly.
Honestly, I've never seen people behaving too inappropriately at the gym, thankfully. I'm sure there's plenty of awful, awful spandex memories I've deleted from my memory banks.
I decided that my son was to old to walk through the woman's locker room when he was about 7. I told him that he would need to walk through the men's locker, and meet me on the opposite side where the pool is.... well, I still to this day do not know what he saw in there, but he came out the other end in pure shock... and from that day forward, he would not be caught dead anywhere without at least soccer shorts on.0 -
worst thing:
while i had my hair up, no makeup, sweating, doing weight reps on my inner/outer thighs, I looked to the left of me where all the hand weights are (3 lb-... a really high number :P ) ,
I saw a girl who had ONE 3lb weight , lifting it with BOTH of her hands, but that wasn't what bugged me...
it was the fact that she had perfectly curled hair, a tonnn of makeup on, a hat on, with a ton of jewellery on, etc making it look like she was prissed up to pick up a date rather than workout.... while only lifting a 3lb weight with both her hands..0 -
Guy doing dumbbell curls next to me started talking dirty to his biceps. I seriously couldn't go on without rolling in laughter, so I quickly dropped my weights and walked away.
Guess that isn't the worst thing, but I couldn't concentrate after that....0 -
Bumping this so its on my topics, this was some funny stuff!0
-
Like the guy who pooped his pants while doing dead lifts??:huh:
Oh it hasn't happened yet, but I keep waiting. :laugh:0 -
Im completely grossed out when I walk into the bathroom and I see people taking dumps barefooted, I just dont understand why you would do that. I walked in one day and I am not kidding but there was a nude guy with his leg up on the counter and he was using the PUBLIC hair dryer (hand held) to dry off his JUNK, there are towels for that0

Was a member at curves a few years back (small town, usually pretty empty place) another female quite a few pieces of equipment ahead of me gets on the leg machine (thigh machine-whatever its called) the machine that you squeeze your thighs together! (i dont know what its called but you get it...)
anyway, she stayed on the machine for like 3 switches and i wondered what was up.....until she moaned. She took her fool self to orgasm on the thigh machine! i walked out. After that...Anytime i went in and she was in there....i walked back out.
listen, lady, i get that you saw an opportunity, but seriously?0 -
This is SERIOUSLY, the best thread! I've been laughing for the past 20 minutes reading all the past posts.
I once saw a very large man walking on the treadmill at the highest possible incline. He had a thin rope tied around his waist, with a caribbeaner (Y'know, the mountain climbing device) attached to the treadmill. I thought to myself... if he actually falls down, his home-made device is definitely NOT going to be secure enough to hold him!
I also saw a woman on the elliptical in FULL makeup (foundation, heavy mascara, eyeliner... the works). After about 20 minutes of running, the makeup started melting off her face like a watercolor painting, leaving pools of orangey liquid drips of sweat on the machine and on the floor. It was so disgusting.0 -
Scary. A power lifter was benching 500lbs nearby. His spotter was a big guy, a police officer and very strong, but while pushing up on the bench (I sat within 5 feet in amazement since the guy was only 5' 6" and a little over 200lbs) the bar slips off his hands and the loaded barbell crushes his chest. Spotter tried to catch it, but damn it's 500lbs!!! Me and another lifter ran over to help. The guy was out cold and EMT's arrived a few minutes later. They later rushed him to a hospital.
I saw him 2 weeks later in the gym. He suffered 3 broken ribs, a broken sternum and a lacerated lung. But he did thank me for assisting and getting the barbell off him.0 -
Here, we call that a biker's blow. Yeah...think about that happening on a bicycle.There was a huge, muscular guy in my old gym that had some kind of allergies or whatever. He would walk over to the trash can between sets, put one finger over one nostril and blow hard and fast shooting out the contents of his open nostril like a bullet into the trash can. Then, he would repeat with the other side. I just about threw up the first time and can't say that I ever got used to it. The really gross part was that he didn't have very good aim so there was evidence on the wall of his past misses.
I asked another guy about it and he said it is called a "farmer blow" but I haven't heard that term before or since.

You know, that's actually illegal in Yakima, WA. I'm not even remotely kidding.Whale tail: when the thong rises up over the waistband...appearing like the tail of a whale. Mostly done on purpose. **shudders**0 -
Haha, this thread is hilarious :laugh:
Thank goodness I haven't seen anything like this at my gym since the gym is at my workplace and I work with the people who go there :noway:0 -

I always think it is hilarious when women of all ages go to the gym all dolled up with 8 pounds of make-up, don't to anything that would ever break a sweat, and flirt or check out the guys. Pretty silly if you ask me.
Also, my friend is a personal trainer and told me that one of the ladies she trains stopped a certain exercise because it was 'making her sweat'... lol!0
