HILLCREST — Yesterday between 5:37pm and 5:42pm a man was heard making loud grunting noises while doing bicep curls inside the Hillcrest 24 Hour Fitness.
The grunting sounds reportedly derailed the routine of several innocent gym members who happened to be working out in close proximity to the grunter. Unfortunately, curiosity got the best of witnesses, many of whom couldn’t help but pause during their set to look and see what type of person would feel the need to over-dramatize his workout session at everyone’s expense.
“Man, that noise was so awkward and uncomfortable to listen to … what kind of an asshole does something like that?” said gym member Tammy Fitzgerald. “His grunting was so loud, I heard it clearly despite the fact that I had my iPod on at full volume. It honestly sounded like the guy was being tortured, and now when I think back to the incident, I’m disappointed he wasn’t,” Fitzgerald added.
Managers of the 24 Hour Fitness took action by posting “no grunting” signs in the weight room immediately after the incident took place, but sadly, the grunting noise had already caused irreversible psychological damage to several victims.
One gym member explained, “Sadly, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was my first day working out here, and I don’t think I’ll ever come back.”
Later that evening sources identified the grunter as a 36-year-old furniture mover named Roger Helm.
Today 24 Hour Fitness management mailed a letter out to every San Diego member notifying them that Helm’s personal information has been added to the Melvin’s Law website — a site that tracks local gym grunters — which was launched in 2001 after 22-year-old Melvin Silverstein tragically fell off a treadmill when he was distracted by a grunting weightlifter at the La Jolla 24 Hour Fitness.
