At the start of the clip, four men scuffle among the weights and cycling machines at the fitness club, throwing multiple punches.
Two blokes can be seen throwing hands while another two square up to each other.
The latter pair, one of which is holding a weight, runs off camera before a man returns and punches one of the remaining combatants at least three times.
Stunned gym-goers stand by in shock as the brawl unfolds - it's hardly what you expect to see when you're trying to get your mid-morning workout in.

Eventually a group of people step in to break it up, with one woman shouting: "F***ing stop."
Police arrived at the scene not long after it unfolded yesterday morning (28 February).
Officers confirmed that at least one of the men involved in the fist fight was hospitalised with a head injury.

Many commenters focused on the man who did a runner mid-fight, including this person who asked: "Why was the little fella legging it with the weight?"
Another wrote: "Hahahahahah kid with the weight parcelled there," with a third adding: "Do you think he just remembered he'd left his oven on or his backdoor unlocked?"
"Wonder how long Braveheart with the weight waited outside til he came back in for his car keys," said a fourth.
