As these grim images show, gym staff were left horrified when a member of the public gave new meaning to 'doing squats' when he allegedly defecated in their changing room showers - and supposedly stuck a shower head up his bum.

Refusing to leave his skid marks in the car park, the man used the showers at Holben's Health and Fitness in Stockport, Greater Manchester, despite not being a member of the gym.

When confronted about it by two female members of staff, he refused to pay for his visit and subsequently launched into an expletive laden-tirade.

Once he eventually left, the staff noticed a 'vile smell' coming from the men's showers - but were unprepared for the the horrors they discovered.

"There was poo all down four showers, bits of it up the walls and everything," said gym owner Ben Bardsley, who was in contact with his staff on FaceTime throughout the ordeal.

"The little splatters of poo were everywhere and it wasn't even like dog poo where you can pick it up.

"I don't know if he was finding something in his bum or something like that."

As if that wasn't enough, a shower head had been broken off and seemingly used to try to 'find something in the man's bum'.

Gym employee Kirsty, on duty at the time, became suspicious when the man entered the building without signing in and ignored her, despite being asked where he was going. After her colleague walked into the gym and couldn't find him there, they popped their heads around the door of the men's changing rooms.

"He'd put metres and metres of blue roll on a bench and stacked it up really high," Kirsty said.

It was after the man reappeared 30 minutes later that things took an abrupt turn, as the man became aggressive and rude after being asked to pay for one of the gym's day passes.

At this point, Kirsty put her manager Ben on FaceTime. He recalled: "[The man] was saying, 'I'll come and get you, you're both dead, you're better be careful. You don't know who I am and who you're messing with.'



"I stayed on the phone and got some videos and pictures which I posed of him and he didn't care at all and was posing for the camera."

It was after that - with the culprit having fled the scene - that the staff discovered his messy deposit, repeatedly having to leave the scene themselves due to the stink that had drifted out into the whole bottom end of the gym.

As for the broken shower head, Kirsty was convinced it could only be one thing.

"It was smeared on the end [of the shower head], not splattered like everywhere else," she said.



"This is where it had been in contact [with the rectum], just the end of the pipe was smeared. It wasn't very pleasant."
