WESTCHESTER, NY – Although previously considered an instrument for professional boxers, one average man defied all odds when he threw a half-hearted punch at his local gym’s heavy bag.
Last Thursday night at a 24/7 Fitness in Westchester, New York, one semi-regular gym goer shocked the whole place when he went where no one else had ever gone before.
When reached for comment about what caused this act of heroism, the man simply replied “man I don’t know. I just finished a set and felt like I could take on the world. You know it really is me against the world sometimes man.”
In the wake of the punch heard round the world, we talked to the other gym goers to see how they were dealing with the aftermath.
“I thought that heavy bag was only for professional boxers. No professional boxers go to this gym. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. How could a normal man just hit the heavy bag. He’s just a man!” responded one incredulous patron.
But, not everyone was so enthused. When asked for comment one meek employee said “Frankly I was scared for my life. Is that even legal? I called my wife. But only after I called the cops”
The gym has officially begun the process of recovering. But only time will tell if it’s able to fully re-rack.
