I was at the gym today people watching. The gym put out a large bowl of candy, chocolate ect... It was hilarious watching the people walk by it and look keep walking and then go back. I even saw a women walk up to it slow look around and then grab a handful for her pocket. If that wasn't enough fun some guy fell asleep on a bike and fell off, the whole area stopped working out we were all sure he had a heart attack, nope he gets up and says I guess I fell asleep. Must not have been a real intense work out. My fun for the day had to share, does any one else have funny gym stories?

    That's just evil! Who puts out candy at the gym!!

    Glad the guy on the bike is okay but I'm with you there. Not an effective workout. I can't believe he was still peddeling. bahaha.

    Oh, wow! Haha thanks! I have had plenty of gym moments... spilling my water while trying to drink and run at the same time = NOT smart, or getting distracted by a cute guy and completely tripping and falling on a MOVING treadmill! :)

    LOL - I would have walked right up to the candy and taken a piece without a lick of shame! :-)

    Embarrassing story - I flew off the back of a treadmill once and crashed into the glass window separating the cardio area from the group fitness studio. And yes... there was a class going on at the time. I really don't know how it happened. I am a very clumsy woman.

    Honestly, you can't beat someone shooting off the back of a treadmill...funniest thing ever!

    The gym I was going to at the time was on the second floor of an old factory so the stairs were fairly steep. I saw a guy try to go down the stairs after a grueling leg workout. He touched the first step and that was it...down he went. I may have peed a little that day!

    Keep people coming back, maybe? lol Job security! HA!

    There's a strip mall near my house and there's a small mom & pop gym. Next to the gym is a chinese place, a donut shop and a mexican restaurant, among other little shops/markets/etc.

    One day I stopped at the market and there was this older man was sitting on the hood of his car with a box of donuts. He had no shame, he sat there eating his donut and watching those ladies bounce around. Maybe his cable was out? lol

    It was just the oddest thing to come across.
