Russian Child Goes Loopy
“The gym I go to is part of a hotel so there are many tourists who exercise while on holiday. One day I was doing sit-ups and there was a Russian kid on the treadmill going crazy. His heart was literally coming out (I think he had the tape at 14 or something) when suddenly there was a power outage and the tape jammed. He basically has his face planted on the tape panel. I ran to see if he was okay. and when he got up both burst into uncontrollable laughter. I never saw him again after that.” (jowtis)
Timing Was Not Proper
“When I started lifting weights in college, a black guy came up to me and asked me to give him a hand with some heavy push-ups. He wanted me to put a 100-pound plate on his back and take it off when he was done.
I’ve never seen anyone do push-ups with a plate on their back, and I had no idea where to put the plate. So I said, “Where do you want me to put the weight on your black? BACK, back, I said back!”.
He just laughed, and I put the load on his highest black.” (midge)
When You Can Not Management Your Laughter
“If something remotely funny happens while I’m lifting, I lose all focus and drop the weight.” (ejal0)
Humorous Treadmill Incident
“I once saw a guy on a treadmill fall. I was speeding and there was a wall right behind him so I hit the wall. A group of us looked at him as he stood up, looked around and in an attempt to save his face, (I suppose) jumped back on the tape as quickly as possible. He was still running at full speed. He put his foot on, made a semi turn and hit the wall again. I couldn’t help but laugh and then decided to give up the treadmill after that.” ([deleted])
