Arthur Brumble has been living in his gym’s changing room for the past 8 months since discovering he doesn’t actually have to leave.
Since joining the 24-hour gym chain in late February last year, Mr Brumble soon discovered a loophole in his gym contract that meant he could pretty much live at the place.
“My family rarely visit me and I never got round to marrying so it seemed to make sense”
Arthur gave notice on the 1 bed flat he had rented for 20 years just 3 weeks into his membership and now wanders around the changing rooms with just a towel draped over his left shoulder.
“I love the fact that I can walk freely around the changing room and still chat to new people every day, being naked is a bonus as it saves washing my pants in the sink”
Disgruntled gym manager Craig Smith commented:
“There is absolutely nothing we can do about it, I’ve been through the gym contract over 10 times and it specifies that he has unlimited use of the 24-hour facilities as long as he pays, but to be fair he’s a nice bloke even if he does smell like feet”
Arthur then went on to reveal that he pretty much eats for free at the gym as well.
“People leave all sorts of stuff here, funny chocolate protein bars, bags of milkshake powder and hundreds of Tupperware boxes filled with healthy food. Also I discovered that if I walk over to someone while their eating and ask, “are going finish that?”, 9 times out of 10 they give it to me. I’ve lost two stone over the past eight months and haven’t even seen the gym”
Although Mr Brumble is free to wander the changing and washroom facilities with as little clothing as he pleases, the gym has a strict anti-naked policy which Mr Brumble isn’t prepared to consider.
“In all honesty I haven’t a clue where my clothes are, I lost them the day I came in and have been looking for them ever since”
