TikToker @Dottshot found himself trapped inside a Planet Fitness after flash floodwater rushed into the gym and quickly rose, submerging equipment and forcing patrons to remain on elevated machines.

He began with the question:

"So how did I end up on a stairs machine in a flooded Planet Fitness?"

He revealed:

"Well, let me tell you. It all started when I looked up from my phone to find that half of the parking lot I was sitting in was already under water."
"We were only expecting 5-6 inches of rain, so when I saw this, I kind of went into shock."

He continued:

"I went into Planet Fitness, took a shower, and when I got out, the water was already rushing in."
"I opened the door momentarily and that did not let the water in. I'm pretty sure the water let itself in because you can't stop that much water."
"Also, my car went under right in front of me. I watched the whole thing. That hurt a lot."

@Dottshot shared his PayPal and CashApp info is in his bio, in case anyone was interested in helping him with his damaged vehicle.

He finished:

"After all that, we just stood around. We were waiting for rescue personnel for hours."
"They wouldn't answer us, so I decided to pick up my phone and start filming TikToks and the rest is history."

Many viewers chimed in with their advice.

"10/10 great advice."

Other viewers were seemingly more terrified of the ordeal than @dottshot himself.

As if we needed another reason to avoid the gym!

In all seriousness though, we are thankful everyone got out ok.
