Deer crashes through window of Tennessee gym, runs laps

Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Security cameras at a Tennessee gym were recording when a deer crashed through a window and ran a few laps before locking itself in the women's bathroom.

The footage recorded Saturday at Quik Fit in Greenbrier shows the buck running around the facility after it and two other deer rammed the gym's storefront windows.

The deer eventually runs into the women's restroom, knocking the door closed behind itself.

"He got his cardio in," gym owner Eric Lee Beddingfield told WTVF-TV. "Thank God he stayed off the treadmill."

Greenbrier police and officers from the Department of National Resources caught the deer in the bathroom and dragged it out of the gym's back door.

"He kind of laid there for a bit, I was concerned at first," Beddingfield said. "But he finally caught his breath after all that cardio and took off."

The deer left a memento of his time inside the gym for Beddingfield.

"His antler broke off, so we're going to mount that and hang it in the gym," he said. "And we're going to get a yellow deer crossing sign too."

Witnesses said the two other deer that unsuccessfully charged into the glass did not appear to be injured.
