Blood on the bench.

One time at the gym, I saw a guy trying to lift weights way too heavy for him. He grunted and strained so hard that his face turned bright red. Then, suddenly, he lost his grip and the weights dropped with a loud clang. Everyone in the gym turned to look, but instead of being embarrassed, he just started laughing hysterically. It was so funny that soon the whole gym was laughing with him.

There's a story in '100 word horror stories' about a locked box. A man finds it in his attic. When he finally manages to open it, a cold wind blows out. He sees a vision of a dark figure reaching for him. I love this one because it builds tension so well. The mystery of the box and the sudden horror when it's opened is really engaging.

There was someone who was overweight and couldn't afford a gym membership. But they decided to make the most of their own space. They started with simple things like climbing the stairs in their house multiple times a day, doing wall - sits during TV commercials. As weeks passed, they lost a significant amount of weight. This shows that by relying on oneself and the available space around, great fitness success can be achieved. They were truly their own gym, creating their own fitness journey and achieving their goals.

Sure. A common horror story is being pressured into buying personal training sessions that you don't really need or want. The trainers at some gyms are so pushy. They keep on telling you that you won't achieve your fitness goals without their expensive sessions.

I'll start with this one: 'Midnight knock, no one there.' It gives that immediate sense of unease. You're in a quiet house, it's midnight, and suddenly there's a knock on the door. But when you open it, there's no one. It plays on our natural fear of the unknown in the dark.

There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.

One 'gym horror story' could be someone dropping really heavy weights without warning right next to you. It's super dangerous and can startle you. Another might be finding used and sweaty towels left on the equipment. It's just gross and unhygienic.

One of the disturbing true gym horror stories might be about a person who found a cockroach in their water bottle at the gym. It's not only disgusting but also makes you question the hygiene of the place. Another story could be that a girl was stalked in the parking lot of the gym by a strange man. She felt really scared and unsafe. And for the third story, there was an instance where the gym's music system suddenly started playing really loud and screeching noises during a workout session, which was so unexpected and disturbing that it completely threw people off their exercise routine.

Sure. I heard about a guy who accidentally dropped his water bottle on the floor near the power rack. When he bent down to pick it up, another person started their set and almost dropped a heavy barbell on him. It was a really close call and could have been a serious accident.
