Video Awkward Moments in the Gym

Sorry if this has been posted before. It had me laughing so hard I was crying.
Yet another reason I shy away from gyms. If I want to try something unorthodox, let it be in the privacy of my own home.

Oh my. Those gyms need some trainers who can walk the floor and assist people who are going to harm themselves if they keep up the atrocious form.

Yeah, no kidding! Although of course I watch these things and laugh, if I saw someone filming me in a gym, he/she would likely get a kettlebell swing to the head. I don't know how it could be enforced, but it would be nice if phones were not allowed on the floor, doesn't seem cool to film someone just doing their thing, even if their thing is completely hysterical

Ok, thoughts aside on filming people in a gym, the guy in the yellow shirt on the treadmill DID need to be shared with the world, now THAT'S how you treadmill!

I thought the whole thing was rather rude and had to stop watching. I felt really sorry for any of the folks who may later find out they were being ridiculed.

But ... I thought the guy on the treadmill was awesome!That wasn't "awkward", but cool! I wish I had the guts.

Another funny video - this guy is clearly clowning around. But probably inspired by not so great things people do in the gym.
