Gym Story Saturday

I’m gonna post something outside the box because this is an interesting story i want to share, but it’s gonna be a little long:

The gym i attend is in a third floor next to a food court, all inside a building that belongs to a four star hotel. And in the corridors around the gym i have seen an architect that also works in the same building. And by coincidence, he is in charge of a construction of a new house, just next to mine.

He is a nice dude, we have met in both places and he started to ask me about the gym. He is not interested in sports nor any physical activity but he tells me that in many ocassions, he has to work past midnight around the hotel building. Other projects that can’t be done during the day to not disturb the traffic. Sometimes in my gym, the owners hold parties on the food court for very special corporate events, and inside there’s a dance hall for aerobics and zumba so they play music way out loud during the day, sometimes it gets annoying.

The guy tells me that during the night, the construction workers have been bothered due to the music volume of the parties. “They can’t be working out at 2am”, so the architect got the keys with a security guard and went to the third floor to tell them off. But all lights were off, and not a single tune was heard when they got inside.

“We get annoyed for the parties the people hold with the music that came from the third floor but, we get inside and there’s nothing, it’s all pitch black”, the architect continues.

I told him i don't know nothing about that, i have never trained past 8 pm and that the only thing i know about is that the gym personal changes every period of time and not everyone can access to security cameras, so there’s no way to know if there’s any history of it.

“There’s a popular myth that every time that a paranormal event occurs in a place is because somebody died around there. Has someone died in the gym?”, he asks to me.

I didn’t know how to answer. I haven’t comment this to the trainers yet and i don’t think i should.

“Sorry, i was just telling you this because I have talked with the security guard and he also says that he can heard weights falling to the ground, just like dumbells and plates, and other heavy stuff during the night”, he adds.

Accidents happen i guess.
