Gym owners and trainers are a determined bunch. They never miss an opportunity to encourage someone to exercise, often going to extraordinary lengths to get people moving. If they could, they’d drag reluctant individuals to the gym, hand them a pair of dumbbells, and make sure they break a sweat. But one gym owner in Datia district, Madhya Pradesh, took this enthusiasm to a whole new level when he convinced an unexpected visitor to squeeze in a workout.
The ‘unexpected visitor’ in question is a thief, who snuck into the gym in the middle of the night. The thief was a minor. The CCTV footage revealed him entering the gym by sliding under the shutter, unaware that the gym owner was watching him on his phone from home.
The gym owner, who had woken up in the middle of the night and decided to check the gym’s CCTV footage, spotted the thief wandering around inside. Without wasting any time, he rushed to the gym and apprehended the terrified minor. Instead of immediately calling the police, the owner saw a golden opportunity for a bit of unconventional justice and decided to make the intruder run on the treadmill, reported India Today.
So, before handing the young thief over to the police, the gym owner ensured he got a taste of a real workout! Here’s a video of the thief running on the treadmill:
What an unforgettable night for the thief! 😛
