Weird s*** goes down at the gym, and the stories people have to share are working our brains out in overdrive…

Red hoodie guy would come into the gym always wearing the same red hoodie. He would hit the treadmill at 8-10mph and just GO. He could keep this pace for 30 minutes, but never seemed to get exhausted. Here’s where it gets weird- he must have had headphones on under the hoodie because he would air guitar and headbang the entire time.
Imagine a guy running at full tilt while shredding on an air guitar, non-stop, for half an hour, not breathing heavily or grunting, before abruptly stopping and walking out of the gym.

I accidentally put my number code into another lock that was beside mine, botched the last number and the lock actually opened.

Saw a guy on a stair climber wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket.

I got literally flexed on. I saw a girl who I mistook as somebody I knew, went to say hi. She was cool about it, said it’s happened before. Then a guy came over and said “Something going on here?!” and literally just flexed.
I’ve never had a bad experience at the gym before, but this dude was above and beyond.

A guy at a very nice luxury gym was not just dropping his squats, he was actively throwing them up and letting them drop 4 plus feet to the safety rack causing a ridiculously loud sound and a crash.
When I asked him to stop he was extremely aggressive and rude and said he had been a member for 10 years. Management ended up kicking him out about 10 minutes later.

Years ago I was newly signed up at a gym. On my first day of a real workout I am approached by a woman who proceeds to tell me off about what, I do not know. I explain I do not know her nor do I know what she is talking about and she says very snidely, oh, it must be your twin sister then who is the bitch. I said, yes, everywhere my sister goes she creates headaches for me (I have no sister), and from that point on the woman sort of follows me around the gym every time we are there at the same time. Commiserating about what a bitch sister I have and how I am NOTHING like her thank God.

Old man jerking off in the shower. I don’t use open locker rooms anymore.

I was on the treadmill waiting for the only squat rack to open up. A guy was holding it up talking to some other guy, and they talked for like 15 minutes. I was about to ask if I could work in…and then they started praying. Other guy put his head down, and squat guy put his hands on other guy’s shoulders and started praying and doing that loud “HUH” thing between sentences Southern Baptist preachers do. And then another guy walked up to get in on the action. At the loaded squat rack.
I just went and worked my legs on the machines.

The woman who was hanging out in the locker room in her underwear. She was there when I came in, and still there an hour later. Someone told me she was probably an IG “model” doing a selfie photoshoot.

Not sure about going to the gym but while at the gym just a couple a weeks ago… This guy calls across the gym to another guy and says “I can smell you from here, do you play lacrosse”? To which he replied, “I played when I was younger”. First guy says “That’s what I thought, you smell like dry cum”. There were probably 12 people in the gym. So random.

My gym arch-nem is this guy who comes in, gets on the treadmill, opens the newspaper and proceeds to read it, while holding on for dear life, and clearing his throat every 15 seconds. I once counted north of 40 “ahems” in about 10 minutes.

Not really weird, but this huge guy was weightlifting at the gym I frequent and he farted, and it was the longest fart I’ve ever heard. Like at least 30 seconds long. He couldn’t stop giggling like a little girl, and then everyone else started laughing and clapping like he just performed a theater piece. It was surreal.

I remember a guy would spit & lick his hands before lifting weights or using machines and wouldn’t clean it afterward. Then even weirder he would straight up moan like he was fucking while lifting the heavier weights. It was weird and gross.

There is a twenty-something very fit guy at my gym who works out extremely hard. Lots of weighted pull-ups, stuff on one leg, jumping rope, etc. I surmised that he was either into martial arts or obstacle course stuff.
One day I’m on the treadmill looking out into the parking lot. I suddenly notice a small tree shaking violently. It’s the guy, blindfolded, doing pull-ups on a tree limb. But the tree was really way too small so his feet were hitting the ground. It was a miracle he didn’t bring the limb down. He took off the blindfold, looked very embarrassed, and casually walked back into the gym.

Ran the treadmill next to a middle-aged man in a full Santa Clause outfit. Beard and all. It was February 21st.

I was doing bench presses (had no headphones on) and there were these 2 dudes talking about what kind of porn they like. You’d think they’d whisper this but no, it was just casual talking. Then this one dude says he can’t get it up naturally anymore so he’d been experimenting with pills to see which one would work for him. I had to move to another bench after that.
