Man Banned For Life From Gym For Masturbating Near Squatting Woman

A man has been banned for life from going to Virgin gyms for masturbating while watching a woman doing squats.

Yes, you read that right. A real grown man thought it was appropriate to touch himself in the middle of a public space, when a woman was just trying to exercise.

The scene was filmed by another gym member, who was rightfully shocked and disgusted to see this horrific behaviour.

It happened South Africa at a Virgin Active gym and was posted online.

In the video, which is a bit too grim to publish, a blonde guy can be sitting on a mat, with his phone in his right hand.

His left hand is down his shorts with a towel over it moving up and down... I don't need to spell it out to you do I? I'm sure you get the idea.

The clip then shows a woman wearing tight gym leggings and doing squats in front of him.

The video was posted onto social media with the caption: "I want this man's face to go viral. This was at the Virgin Active in Stellenbosch @virginactiveSA. Absolutely abysmal behaviour."

It's since gone viral, with the tweet racking up over 43,000 likes - with people seeming genuinely shocked at the man's behaviour in the comments.

Local media report the Virgin Active branch responded to the incident by taking immediate action against the man for his 'depraved behaviour' and his membership was terminated.

Speaking to EWN, Virgin Active's Carla White said: "As soon as we received a copy of the video, we commenced an investigation and discovered who he was and got his detail and took action immediately by cancelling his membership and banning him for life from any Virgin Active and we are currently pursuing criminal charges against him."
