A word of advice: don't name your gym "24 Hour Fitness" if you don't intend on staying open 24 hours a day.

While working out at a 24 Hour Fitness in Spring, TX, Jonathan Santos found himself locked inside the facility after the gym's employees had left for the evening. Santos explained that before closing, he saw one of the staffers doing a final walkthrough in the locker rooms. Despite the employee acknowledging Santos' presence, when he made his way towards the exit a few minutes later, he discovered that he was locked inside the gym. 

Santos waited inside the facility for 25 minutes before a representative from another one of the gym's locations arrived to let him out. As expected, the Internet had a field day after Santos' brief confinement, acknowledging how the name "24 Hour Fitness" is hilariously misleading.

I plan on boycotting them since 24 Hour Fitness Center is apparently not open 24 hours a day. Some overweight person has to protest this blatant disregard for truth in advertising and I’m just the guy.

At least he only had to wait 25 minutes. Many may remember the guy who got trapped inside an ATM for three hours.
