The gym locker room – a room segregated by gender for changing clothes and filled with lockers for storage and safe-keeping of personal belongings. Some may include amenities such as showers, saunas<\/a><\/strong> and bathroom stalls. This description might be similar to the one found in a gym\u2019s membership booklet or even the dictionary. But in reality, a better use of words to describe the place would be creepy, embarrassing, awkward and sometimes horrific. In this installment of Tales from the FitCrypt,<\/a><\/strong> gossip is all about the OMG locker room horror\u00a0stories.\"\"<\/p>\n

On a\u00a0normal\u00a0day in the locker room, you’ll definitely see a few not-so-modest\u00a0people walking around in nothing but their birthday suit (like you didn’t already know).\u00a0What some of you, and I mean you ladies, might not know about is how men are\u00a0using the hair dryers on their side of the locker room. It’s not for the hair on their heads if you couldn’t guess, but for drying the hair on their private parts. In order to make sure they’re getting the\u00a0job done right,\u00a0many will prop one leg\u00a0up on the nearest bench, exposing everything they have to offer. While trying to dig\u00a0up some locker room dirt, this story not only came\u00a0up first but was also given to\u00a0me by several sources. I now know what’s at the top of the\u00a0men’s locker room complaints!<\/p>\n

And then there was the day my boyfriend came home from the gym completely scarred from his incident in the sauna (another place\u00a0common to wear your birthday suit). Apparently an older man decided to practice his yoga techniques<\/a><\/strong> in nothing but bare skin. Instead of isolating himself in the corner, he decided it was necessary to bend over and touch his toes\u00a0right in front of Kyle…bottom to face.<\/p>\n

Men aren’t the only ones practicing the naked stretch<\/a><\/strong>. DIR’s Lacy Jaye Hansen<\/a><\/strong> told me about a time she witnessed a naked woman performing stretches with legs propped\u00a0up on the sink counter. If you were ever curious about the parts of a female’ss body, all questions were answered during this unique\u00a0stretching session. Needless to say Lacy’s need for the counter top no longer existed.<\/p>\n

Another friend of mine told me one of the most creepy stories of all…”One day after a workout I jumped into the showers for a quick rinse off. I was almost done when I felt like I was being watched. I looked\u00a0up and saw a tall\u00a0man creeping over the shower stall watching\u00a0me,”\u00a0 said Kevin Pham of Wichita, Kansas.<\/p>\n

Will the no-clothes trend in the locker room\u00a0ever fade out? Chances aren’t looking good. In\u00a0my opinion, there’s a difference between\u00a0minding your own business while changing clothes\u00a0and\u00a0just straight\u00a0up\u00a0making yourself at home. Respecting others and\u00a0using proper gym etiquette<\/a><\/strong> shouldn’t only be\u00a0used in the workout rooms but in the locker rooms as well.<\/p>\n
