A gym is a place where people come to build strength, fitness and train their body to reach its physical pinnacle. It is a place associated with a lot of adrenaline and intensity because of its high-energy demands and there are times where the adrenaline goes overboard.
The gym would perhaps be one of the few places that surprisingly does not see many scuffles or moments of violence but a viral video circulating online, showed a brutal gym battle between two men. The fight was nothing short of a WWE wrestling match.

Uploaded by the popular page ‘Fight Videos‘, the video showed two men in the gym going completely crazy at each other. Dressed in a sleeveless grey tank and black hoodie, the two men started battling it out right in the middle of gym.
The duo were talking to each other and the man in the black hoodie let his anger speak as he tried to punch the other man in the face. The man was able to dodge the punch easily and this spelled the beginning of the madness.

What then followed was nothing lesser than a wrestling bout right out of WWE telecast. The two men went at each other with no control whatsoever, tackled, kicked and punched each other in the middle of the gym as all the people inside stopped doing what they were. The entire space of the gym was emptied out for them to carry on with their madness.
One man ends up shirtless in the middle of their duel as he lost his hoodie in the process of fighting. Almost every person in the gym turned spectator or camera person and recorded the entire fight but not one of them tried to stop it.
The duo finally stopped fighting after it became clear that there was no one clear winner and the gym official arrived at the scene.

While their wrestling skills left a lot to be desired, the two men certainly created a ruckus and brought the entire gym to a standstill. The damage and severity of the incident will be understood because there was no mishap but such incidents only make public environments unsafe. The people in the gym also needed to step up in the moment and take charge instead of silently watching.
