We've all been there, or seen someone who has. I'm talking about FUNNY stuff that happens in the gym. Me personally, I can't tell you how many times I've fallen off the treadmill in front of some fine looking lady's. It's always good for a laugh if I don't hurt myself, and actually would be a great way to pick up women if I wasn't already involved. A little humor goes along way when everything's all serious in the gym, and the ladies always want to chat a bit after I do something dumb. lol

Anyway, what have you guys seen or done that was particularly funny in the gym? A past "men's health" I read the other day had a funny personal trainer story article. Some examples of stories they listed were people farting on every rep, people loosing clothing from machines, and all other types of crazy shit. So this got me thinking... I bet all the gym rat's on gixxer.com have some similar stories to share. So let's hear them!

I have a few....
A while back there was a girl dieting for a BB contest in our gym.She had ALOT of weight to drop,and would spend at leats 1 hr a day on the treadmill,the whole time farting up a storm and stinking up the cardio room.Nasty bitch.Anyway,I'm in there riding the bike,she's in the running(and farting)the treadmill and the cleaning guy is vacuuming the carpet.Now she's running on the highest level mind you....the cleaning guy accidently pulled the cord from the treadmill and the tread stopped moving abruptly...but she didn't.She ran right to the end of the machine,hit the bar and flipped over face first onto the floor.I fucking peed my pants I was laughing so hard http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif.Besides knocking the wind outta herself she was fine.The whole time the cleaning guy had his walkman on and didn't even realize what had just happened,until she grabbed him and started screaming at him.

Another time all the way in the back of the gym on the squat rack I was squatting with 2 friends.Were loading up plates,seeing who can out do one another.We both knew that one of our buddies would not make it any higher then 600lbs.,but he was not one to be outdone by anyone and would rather die trying then bow out.So be it.I did my set,my friend did his set,then it was his turn,and I was spotting him.I knew he was done when he could barely get off the rack with it,but he backed up,set himself up and descended ass to ankles,he pushed so hard and got just about half way up and then BAM...he crapped himself from pushing so hard.I heard a wet fart and then he said," FUCK!". http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif I knew right away what he did 'cause I smelled it.The lady on the rack next to us looked over and said"is he ok?,did he hurt himself?"..the worst part was that I had to help him rack the weight and it reeked like nasty ass.My other friend was rolling on the floor screaming "Marc just crapped himself" at the top of his lungs.Then the lady realized what had just happened when Marc waddled his way into the locker room,she was like "eeewwww".

Now that's fuckin priceless! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/spit.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I bet he never tried to keep up again! As for the farting treadmill lady, that shit is classic! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif


There is a guy who comes to my gym in jeans, dress shoes, and a long sleeve flannel every time! wtf were you thinking wearing that to the gym? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif

Oh, and I've had the power go out on the treadmill before too. Nearly killed myself! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

"As for the farting treadmill lady, that shit is classic! " yes that is a classic ....... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Only story I have isn't really Gym related...

Ohh well here goes anyways. I was out running with my ex on afternoon and she was wearing those warmup parts that button all the way up the legs. After about a mile or so we she got them caught on something and they tore off. She made it about 3 strides before realizing that she was running in a thong and tank top. I couldn't stop laughing as I watched her frantically trying to put her pants on as old men would slow way down to watch what was going on.

ok I'll bite. Here's what was qiute possibly the most embarrasing moment of my life.

I was about 15 and I was training with my old martial arts instructor who was a personal trainer. He's the one that got me into fitness training way back then.

Anyway, he worked at Gold's and I was there all the time studying with him or training. I was pretty much excepted there as just another worker. I had full run of the place and knew everyone there very well.

It's about 7pm and the gym is fully packed. I'm in the weight room with David the personal trainer.

My mom had dropped me off earlier and I was usually there for like 3 hours. I'd forgotten my wallet and my mom was worried that I wouldn't be able to get home or anything without $$.

So she decided to call and make sure I was ok being overprotective as they are when their kids are 14 or 15.

So anyway, one of the workers downstairs, a buddy named Mark paiges me over the gym speakers and it goes something like this...

Peter Elliott, you have a call on the phone. Peter Elliott, you have a call. (pause) It's your mom.

Now the way he said this was just like the worst possible ridiculing way. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Everyone in the gym simultaneously started laughing and many dropped their weights. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif It was so bad I didn't respond. acted as if it wasn't me. Until David starts saying with a huge grin: Pete! Go get the phone man! It's your mom.

Man the walk downstairs to the phone was terrible. I just wanted to die. I'm still pissed I never got back at that guy. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

OG those stories are great! when I was first reading about the squat guy I thought you were going to say he had a prolapsed bowel or something. HAve you seen those pics floating the net? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

One time, I just finished working out on the leg press and I was being courteous to the other members by taking the plates off. Anyway.. While I am taking the plates off I see this sexy chick walking towards me and as she gets closer I didn't realize how close the plate I was pulling off was to the edge of the bar and the damn plate fell off the bar and on to the bridge of my foot. It HURT like hell!!! The chick walked by looking at me like I was a loser. The next morning I went to the hospital and sure enough,,,,, I broke my foot. I felt like a loser!!!
The worst part was telling everyone how I broke my foot!

My buddy also let out a huge fart on the leg press, It was funny as hell. It didn't stink but it was loud and people looked at us like we were idiots...

This one huge, thick, m*therfuggen juice bag (who also was an alcoholic) that I was friends with at the gym decided at the end of his work out that he would use the tread mill because there was one open beside this hot chick (he never did cardio). He used to carry a big bottle of Orange Juice around the GYM but it was filled with Vodka/OJ, like I said he had a drinking problem. He was loud and funny and everyone liked him... Anyway he starts running on the treadmill beside this chick and decides to take a gulp of his Vodka/OJ and I guess it was too many things for him to do at once because this dude tripped over his own foot while taking a drink. He did a face plant on the treadmill and slid off the back of the track fast. Vodka/OJ was everywhere... he was humiliated and everyone was laughing like hell, the chick too.
Ah Shit that was a funny time..... R.I.P TIM

Very similar to oldgixxer's story. Down here in St. Pete Florida, Randy"Macho Man" Savage was working out at the local Gold's Gym. He lives around here and is always in this particular gym. Well, he is one of those who is extremely loud when they work out screaming and yelling to get alot of attention. This one day he was doing squats and everyone was watching (because of all the yelling and who he was) all of a sudden "oh sh**!!!!" He quickly racks the weight and runs to the locker room with brown running down his leg. The whole gym was laughing. He called his girlfriend at the time Georgous George (I think was her name) from his cell phone, to bring him some clothes. He would not come out of the locker room until she got there with new clothes. The local dj was there as well and had alot of fun with that one the next morning on the radio. It was classic. He got some attention that day, but I don't think it was the kind he was looking for. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

That's a good story. Bubba loves to bust Macho Mans's balls!

Omg.. I can't stop laughing Old Gixxer. Just to picture that is hysterical. Holy cow. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I don't have any really good stories. But the one I can think of, is this. I was running on the treadmill, and when i'm running, i'm generally concentrating on my footing. I have a tendancy to get lazy and stub my feet if you know what I mean. So i'm running along, concentrating, heel.. toe.. heel.. toe. Then I see my now ex-boyfriend walk in the door. So I smile, and lose my concentration, and my sneaker makes that loud, feernt, noise as i'm running. The noise distracts me, and everyone else on the treadmills next to me. So I start to get nervous, and it's all downhill from there. Another feernt, and down I go. I'm now hanging from the treadmill handlebars and the machine is still running. So my now ex-boyfriend runs over and hits the stop button. I couldn't stop laughing. I stood up, dusted myself off, took a bow, and jumped back on and started running again.

At least you made a nice recovery! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I was lifting one day and theres this guy that comes into the gym all the time with this 80 sweatband and cutoff jeanshorts that are WAY too short. Anyways, this guys doing leg presses on the press machine and this other big dude that was standing over in the corner walks over to this guy and says casually, "Dude, your nuts are hanging out." OMFG I was about pissing my pants when I heard the guy say that. The guy turned beat red, and made his way to the locker room. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

^T^T^T^

These are great guys, keep them coming! I need a good laugh today. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was just reminded of a pretty amazing moment at the gym a few years ago with a buddy of mine.

These 2 20 year old or so gym newbs were naturally on the bench press trying to put up twice what they actually could. Of course they didn't think of 1 being set up as a spotter.

Well, while the guy on the bench was doing a set he couldn't get it back up and rather than going and helping the guy with the bar, this tool just goes "let me get that" and pulls a 45 off one side of the bar. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Of course the second he does that the bar shoots to the right dumping the plates all over the ground and freaking the hell out of the lifter. So he gets up and starts screaming at his friend. Meanwhile the whole gym is just watching this in awe and cracking up. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

It was really a had to be there moment though.
