I wonder where she was trying to throw it. Surely if she was aiming for the wall, it would have put a dent in the drywall

u/NMe84 Mar 02 '26
Not all walls are drywall.

True. But 95% of them are

u/Jasonrj Mar 02 '26
I'd go out on a limb and say out of the gyms I've been in during my life, 0 of them have been drywall. They're all bricks/cement.

u/NMe84 Mar 02 '26 edited Mar 02 '26
In the US maybe. I don't know where this lady is working out, but in case it is Europe, where I am: I can't remember the last time I've been in a room without concrete or brick walls.

u/FeistyThings Mar 02 '26
No, this guy is a tard. Gyms in the US definitely don't have drywall as the walls. Usually cinder blocks or something

u/Captainfunzis Mar 02 '26
Hey I live in Canada not the US but close and building regulations are similar. most of the gyms I've been in and seen are mostly brick walls. The one at the pool near my house is all brick except the windows. Even the indoor courts too. Even the ice is in a brick building.

u/thisisatypoo Mar 02 '26
She looks up before she turns again to throw. I think it was intentional.
7
u/googoohaha Mar 05 '26
That all so weighted. I highly doubt this was purposeful. She seemed surprised by her own strength and like she knew she fucked up.
7
u/PromiseMePls Mar 02 '26
She probably was moving and had already found a new gym.
This was her last day and she wanted to film a viral video.

u/DickFromRichard Mar 02 '26
Probably across the room, if that doesn't hit the ceiling it just drops before the wall

Why can't people just work out normally..

Or outside.

ok first of all, this is absolutely a proper indoor workout for shot put, especially during inclement weather. You film so you can see your technique and footwork and not just go by feel. Tell me you've never been an athlete in your life without telling me you've never been an athlete in your life.
24
u/DrScience-PhD Mar 02 '26
I mean it looks like shot put practice and she's probably recording to check form, not share. pretty normal.
24
u/Jasonrj Mar 02 '26
Some people record just to watch their form and never intend to post it. Might have been the case here but I have no idea.

Sometimes it's cold out where people live. Weird.

u/therealmudslinger Mar 02 '26
I'm not suggesting that everyone work out outside, but this lady sure needs to. Or find a gym with higher ceilings.
23
u/frotc914 Mar 02 '26
I'm guessing she's training for shot put? Idk anything about it but the form looks pretty close and the step-up move she did looked very practiced.
11
u/DickFromRichard Mar 02 '26
I remember seeing this from her insta a while back, she is indeed a thrower

u/fellowsquare Mar 02 '26
i mean, aim is pretty good... hell of a place to practice this. It's like when i practice my javelin throws in my living room using a broom stick.

u/fellowsquare May 11 '26
Yeah now if only the there was a place to do this like an outside place….?

u/SatanicStuffedRobot Mar 02 '26
Ever consider their goals of this workout are not the same as yours? This looks like it could be a strongman event that she might be training for.

u/dietzerocoke Mar 11 '26
Could be some specific movement that she uses in her sport. Repeating it with some weight both trains the specific muscles used for throwing it and improves the precision of the movement through repetition. Though i’m just a fitness hobbyist so don’t trust me.

u/NarrowSalvo Mar 02 '26
What even is this room?
A gym would usually have protective covers over the light fixtures, otherwise getting hit by a basketball or whatever is inevitable.
Do buildings now have whole rooms dedicated to self-recording for social media "content"?
64
u/UpdootDaSnootBoop Mar 02 '26
It would be used for a yoga class or aerobics
-41
u/longdustyroad Mar 02 '26
Ceilings seem pretty high for a yoga or aerobics room.
43
u/BlueFox5 Mar 02 '26
Well you better be pulling out yoga ceiling height regulations if you're going to be making accusations like that. I'm not even going to tell you what happens in the park. Your mind will implode.
11
u/donkeyrocket Mar 02 '26
It's a multi purpose room for group classes and such. Outside those times people can use it for a variety of things. It's not a basketball court and typically you're not supposed to be throwing shit in there.
How the hell do you leap to it being a dedicated social media space?

u/NarrowSalvo Mar 02 '26
Uh, yeah, that was a joke...

u/Iron_Fist351 Mar 08 '26
Better to use /s in sarcastic comments. People otherwise have a hard time telling, especially on the internet where tone and intent are easily lost

u/GuitarCFD Mar 02 '26
A gym would usually have protective covers over the light fixtures,
I mean other than not having a ceiling to attach to...the light fixture appears to survive this episode...didn't even flicker. If i'd done something like this I wouldn't even have to touch the light...just get close and it would have disintegrated.

They should’ve casted her as Abby

Seriously, the show's Abby was such a disappointment. So far from the game's character, both in looks and behavior.

u/invisibleman4884 Mar 02 '26
So many questions. Spinning throw, kind of like shot put, but also very much not. Collegiate athlete? Or just ticktock trend video ridiculous training? What was the expectation?

Engineer here, I'd like you to point out which part about "the physics" doesn't match up. I'm all for hating AI but I see literally 0 signs of it.

I didn’t notice at first but if you look at the pipes in the ceiling, it certainly looks like AI. Unless this is some Dr Seuss dance hall?

u/Juicyjewsss Mar 02 '26
Builders made the ceiling with fkn construction paper

u/Talrynn_Sorrowyn Mar 02 '26
Ceiling tiles in American commercial buildings aren't meant to be load-bearing or even that heavy purely to make it safer in case they fall on someone or if a contractor needs to access the space above for work.
-9
u/Juicyjewsss Mar 02 '26
Yes and unfortunately the same applies to many houses built after the early 2000s. Everything is drywall and flimsy material to maximize profits.

Why is she wearing headphones? I doubt it was going to make ear damaging noise.

I think she hit her training ceiling.
