    I was doing squats with a really heavy bar and this thread from my black gym leggings was in the way so I yanked it in irritation. What I'd actually just done was pull out the seam in the crotch of my leggings and totally exposed my stark white granny knickers for everyone to see! A guy came up to me to offer me his towel to cover up! So embaressing!

    There are some great stories! :laugh:

    Mine's not as bad as some others, but I was still embarrassed. I was doing toe taps on a high bench, feeling pretty good about my workout so far. I don't know what happened, but my feet got tangled under me and I fell right onto my butt in front of several people. Hurt my backside and my pride.

    When I was small and weak I failed on a 135 lb bench press and a few guys ran from across the gym and picked up the bar off my stomach. Everyone in the university weight room saw.

    Failing on a 1 plate bench press is a good way to instantly lose all gym credibility.

    My Friend was on the tredmill next to me and a really hot guy walked in.. and she was staring at him she somehow failed to notice her "cool down" mode came to a stop. She ended up somehow flipping over the front end of the treadmill. I couldnt stop laughing

    Wow, that reminds me. I was running a 5K for breast cancer two years ago I think and as we started the race and I was in a large tightly gathered pack I couldn't hold in a fart that had decided it wanted to be released, so with each step it announced its presence in little spurts. It took a good 10 steps to be done...THEN when I was wondering if anyone had really heard that the person passing me on the right turned to their neighbor and said loudly, "Oh my god, that girl just farted". I was almost a DNF (Did Not Finish) that race based on humiliation alone.

    This week I've done the following:

    Monday - didn't use collars and tried benching a heavier weight, ended up dumping all the plates and had to run around the gym picking them up

    Tuesday - stepped on a rock while running and have a ginormous bruise under my arch (I wear Vibrams)

    Wednesday - hit my chin on the pull up bar while doing chin ups

    Thursday - nothing yet...swam this morning without incident

    That's the spirit!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Thanks for sharing all! I needed a giggle this morning.

    I only have sorta embarrassing things. I was doing overhead presses, feeling good maybe a third of the way through my workout, and all of the sudden TOM came on really heavy. The bar went up and TOM went down. So I ended up dropping the bar quickly and nearly running to the bathroom, and then home (I didn't have supplies with me). I got some strange looks, but thankfully I was wearing black so I don't think anyone but my husband knew what happened.

    Failing reps. I never see anyone fail reps without a spotter. I squat and bench in a cage so that I can set it down when I fail. I fail bench quite often to push the limits, and less often with squats, but I always get odd looks. Hip thrusters get funny looks too, but I don't care.

    I think weekly I hit my head on the bar in the squat rack while putting the weights back. Between music and putting all the plates back I kinda get lost in my own world. I have hit my head on the lat pull down bar before as well. All in good fun though! Worst thing I saw was someone pass out and take a header off the dumbbell rack!

    I use a small gym at my company. I have my ear buds on when I work out. I was making such loud grunting noises from intense lifting, the people in the hallway heard me, ran in to check to see if someone was being tortured lol.

    Lots of good ones.

    When I'm working on the weight resistance machines at the gym, I try to alternate between legs and arms so I can get a full body workout. I get so focused on what machine I'm going to do next, I don't pay attention when things change. More than once, I've sat on or almost sat on someone working out on the "empty" machine I was planning to use next.

    Luckily I've never hurt anyone but I've scared plenty of people, including myself. :ohwell:

    The most fun is when the man or woman trips me or almost falls trying to get out of my way. :blushing:

    back in the day (im old I say this now fml) when portable disc players were around, I was running and with every step the cd player inched towards falling off the treadmill shelf thing, when it finally decided to drop I went to catch it but anyways , the head phone cords somehow wrapped around the handles and disc part went flying , my arm hit it and it flew to poor sod on the treadmill next me, we both then flew off ....

    I had been running on the treadmill for a good while, I reached over for a quick drink and my towel to wipe the sweat from my face. As I put the towel back the person on the treadmill next to me - who happened to be a very attractive man - says "I think those are yours" pointing down at a pair of lace underwear that conveniently fell right between our treadmills. I was mortified.

    From that day on I made sure to always, ALWAYS check my towels when I take them out of the dryer to ensure no underwear get folded with them.

    Hahahah!!!

    I did the whole almost falling off the treadmill while I was asking my friend something.
    Not out on the floor related, but I did have to take a poop while at the gym. Which to me, is embarrassing. I felt like I was in high school all over again...

    I was doing squats once when my shorts ripped from groin to *kitten*. Needless to say, I was embarrassed but luckily for me, I keep a spare pair of shorts in my bag in case something like that ever happens (I'm quite self-conscious like that) so I put them on and it didn't happen.

    Falling asleep on a machine and waking up with one of those jumping motions like someone scared you but they didn't. Yeah, no bueno.

    I completed an entire yoga class in the front row, since I was one of the more advanced students, the instructor had asked me to be in front so the new students could follow. I noticed after class that no one would make eye contact with me. "Your epic wheel and handstand intimidates them," I thought to myself.


    NOPE! Turns out there was a sizable hole right in the seat of my pants. I only noticed when I got home, and stated taking the pants off to shower. I put them back on, bent over in front of a mirror and saw the problem: the entire class had basically given me a pelvic exam.

    I never went back.

    After running 4 miles, I started doing weighted lunges... Fell over flat on my back in front of all the guys lifting.... Layer there for a minute, stood up laughing as they were pointing and laughing and took a bow and went on about my business
