We've all been subjected to the weird habits of fellow gym-goers from time to time. The bloke who cuts his toe nails, the woman who walks around with her towel placed underneath her boobs, and the bloke who masturbates into other people's towels...
Wait, who the hell would do that? A random bloke who attends the same 'Pump Gym' as 17-year-old Mohammed Ali, that's who.
Mohammed left his towel on a wall rail while he went to the loo inside the changing rooms, following a work out session.
It wasn't until he came out of the toilet that he discovered his towel had been used by a randy gym-goer.
Furious Mohammed said nobody was in the changing room when he found the towel, and he complained the next day to staff.
He said workers at Pump Gyms in Northampton looked at CCTV and confirmed the stain 'wasn't shampoo' and handed the video to police. Officers from Northamptonshire Police are now investigating.
Mohammed said: "I was only one of four people in the gym at that time, I reckon. I went to the toilet for five minutes, and left my towel on a wall rail by the cubicle.
"I came out and they'd already left, and as I was washing my hands I noticed my towel had been touched, so I opened it up and had a closer look.
"I could see something white, and at first I thought it was shampoo that had leaked from my bag or something - so I went to touch it and give it a smell."
NOOOO, don't smell it.
Mohammed continued: "It turns out it was what I was hoping it not to be - the person who had come in the changing room while I was in the toilet masturbated on my towel.
"I was so angry, so so so so angry I didn't know what to do. I went back to the gym the next day and I find the assistant manager and tell him what happened - and he was as disgusted as I was.
"Thankfully the gym staff have all been extremely supportive throughout this whole incident and have given me good advice."
Waiter Mohammed usually hits the weights between 10pm and 1am to avoid the busy period and said the incident happened at around 1am on 2 May.
Mohammed, who has been left 'disgusted and shocked', claims the manager said he could not hand over the footage but would give the evidence to the police.
A spokesperson for Northamptonshire Police said: "This happened between midnight and 1.30am on 2nd May at a gym in Gladstone Road, Northampton, when a report was made that a man had committed this offence in the changing rooms.
"We have spoken to the victim and are investigating this in partnership with the gym."
Pump Gyms Northampton declined to comment.
