Anytime Fitness chaos: Collingwood man kicks in front door as he tries to access 24/7 gym in Melbourne

Shocking footage captured the moment when an outraged man attempted to smash the front door of a 24/7 gym to gain access to the venue.

The man kicked the front door of Anytime Fitness on Wellington Street in Collingwood, Melbourne, on Sunday night.

He was dressed in a beige raincoat and all-black clothing and was visibly angry as he attempted to force his way into the building.

A terrified gym-goer filmed the incident as the man began his violent outburst.

Footage of the shocking incident was posted to TikTok with a video showing part of the glass door smashed.

The man is seen muttering “open the door” to an onlooker as he furiously kicks the closed door in the bizarre diatribe.

Gym goers did not give in to the man’s demands to open the door, while an onlooker inside the facility continued to film the dramatic scene.

At one point, the man gestures with his right hand to the viewer who was filming.

The chaos triggered an emergency alarm when an automated voice message could be heard in the background saying ‘an emergency button has been pressed’.

Moments later, the man was seen lying on the ground when officers arrived on the scene.

He is seen gesturing to the police before finally being dragged to his feet and escorted off the premises.

Anytime Fitness Collingwood told Daily Mail Australia they were aware of the incident.

They declined to comment on the matter.
