We have an elderly couple that come in in full (high ticket) workout gear with towels around their shoulders. They walk around, look at each machine, spend about 30 seconds each on the recumbent bike, then leave. Their routine is so predictable that it's true comedy.

Okay, not to be rude (you know it will be) but why do people NOT in shape wear tight clothes? Stop. There really needs to be a weight limit on spandex clothing.... Just saying...
Not in the gym, but around my neighborhood there is a couple who go for a stroll every morning--2.5-3 mph type of stroll. He wears cut off sweatpants and a t-shirt, she wears a sports bra with matching boy shorts--no shirt. I forgot to mention that she is about 5'4, and a solid 225 pounds. OK, it's actually not so solid...

That's actually kind of cool! I couldn't do it--I'd fall off and then I'm sure someone would see it and post to this thread about the crazy person who got so tangled up in the gym equipment that the fire department had to come and cut her out.

Well not long ago I was one of 4 men sitting in the hot tub at LA Fitness when an Asian lady got in and pushed her crotch up against the jets. She then proceeded to pull the bottom of her suit back so the spray would hit her direct. Then one of the guys says;
"Hey, this is not a hoochie bath". True story. I heard a few days after that the same lady brought her two children into the tub with a bar of soap to bath them, and was yelled at by management. No one has seen her since.

One time I just got to the gym and proceeded into the men's locker room. There was a naked guy sitting on a bench reading a newspaper. I ignore him, get dressed and go do my workout. An hour later when I return, same guy is still there sitting naked and reading his newspaper. My goodness, just go home and read!

this is a gym in new york city. i find it hilarious.
Yeah man I've belonged to NYSC, 24 Hour Fitness, and a bunch of private gyms around NYC. I always stay away from the sauna because it seems like every gym has the same problem with gay sex going on back there.

Oh no, it is a true story. I do not really believe it was a form of masterbation but rather her way of douching. This particular gym is located in a very diverse area with a lot of foreigners. Often see foreign men swimming in underwear instead of bathing suits, and I mean tighty whities. Have even seen occasions where both sexes do not read english, and walk into the wrong locker room from the pool area, in which the first thing they stumble upon is the showers before realizing their in the wrong place.

Your killing me! There is no way this gym exists. If so, you need to record this stuff for America's funniest video. Crazy!

Oh, it exists and it is in a neighborhood surrounded by Russians, Africans and Asians. It is an LA Fitness. I am employed for a college athletic program so I work out on campus, but go to the LA Fitness to shoot hoops and hang with friends in the pool area a couple days a week. And yes I see strange things almost every time I am there. Seems to be more immigrants then American born there at times. But I am all good with that.
