Most Embarrassing Gym Moment...

Saksgirl1

Yesterday when I was training with my personal trainer, i totally farted!

BUT, I'm sticking with the story that it wasn't my fault! He had me on some sit-up bench with a bouncy medicine ball, I had to sit up (angularly) while bouncing the medicine ball on either side of me for 10 reps on each side. It just happened! haha

What's your most embarrassing gym moment?

OMG that is my absolute fear every time that I'm on the treadmill!!!

Uh, I totally cried at my bootcamp class the other week. It was so hard! And the worst part was it happened both times I went to the class last week. BUUTT.... This week I made it through tear free.

Well, this happened when I was like 12 and randomly at the gym with my dad... I was running on the treadmill and closed my eyes because I wanted to pretend I was running in nature. Sure enough, I fell right off within 5 seconds and they told me I was too young to be on the equipment. LOL

- crying at jazzercise
- getting on a machine and getting off a minute later. even though it's probably not true, i feel like everybody is judging me
- dropping the weights on the weight machines!
- seeing a super hot guy and realizing this is the day you are wearing a big tee-shirt and glasses instead of nice workout gear!

Bumping because I just KNOW this thread is going to be my favourite.

Yesterday we were throwing medicine balls (squishy, but still weighted ~10lbs) at the wall behind us and when I didn't throw it hard enough it totally dropped right on to my head. Doh!

Bench pressing and couldn't bring the weight off my chest. Yelling for help and it took like forever for someone to come and help. He lifted off the weight with one hand like it was a paper weight.

Some fellas from Team Quest were working out at my gym and I was watching their workout. They're crazy strong so I was totally enthralled. They moved and I turned to follow but it was too much turn for my body and I fell off the elliptical onto the elliptical next to me and then onto my *kitten* on the floor.

-Doing skip rope and feeling like I'm about to pee all over
-Wednesday I was doing a box jump, got done, did my little assisted pull ups on the machine-jumped off and didn't realize the steps for the box jump were so close. I definitely fell back right on my butt. I felt like a winner.

I was on the ellip machine and talking to the three people with me about the Giants game in the background. I was totally feeling kind of awesome because I usually don't talk at all at the gym.

And then I burped. Like a giant man burp. Like one of those burps you see on tv and think must be fake.

The dude next to me yelled "Holy *kitten* that was loud"

last week I was doing my 1st set of concentration curls. I somehow grabbed a lighter weight than normal, sat down, picked up the dumbbell and the 1st rep nearly KO'd me! I moved my head and it bumped the side of the cheek.

Reality check: ya'll come back to this thread... I will eventually trip on a treadmill and get shot off the back. It's inevitable.

You can either:
1. tilt the bar to one side and dump the plates
2. drag the bar down your torso and thighs to dump the bar on the ground

Oh man..I was on the treadmill and I dropped my phone while it was running and without thinking I just bent down to get it and it was going about 6 mph and in 2 seconds it had pushed me onto the floor and everyone was just staring at me...haha so humiliating

I was once doing plank jacks for my personal trainer, was wearing the wrong bra and my boobs popped out of my shirt!! I wanted to cry I was so embarrassed..instead I got up readjusted myself and went on to the next exercise. .

I pretty much do embarrassing things on a regular basis.

Almost falling over when doing walking lunges.

Having to bring a table over to the pull up bar so I can jump up and do my negative pull ups since I can't do a positive one yet and am also short. There are often dudes waiting who are able to do many positive pull ups.

Lifting light weights... to the point of failure with fairly low reps. I am not trying to lift light weights because I'm afraid to build muscle, I just started out pretty weak and that's all I can lift. No one wants to change that more than I do.

Leaving my phone and water bottle all over the place and having to go look for it.

Let's not even discuss the various ways in which I fail at yoga, which I have only been to four times.

I'm sure there are many, many more that are not even coming to mind right now.

Got crushed by the leg press machine while I was trying to escape a guy's fart that was doing squats next to me.
I also slipped in the steam room and fell on a naked dude on my way out, felt so bad and disgusted at the same time.

Sadly my gym is quite close to my work so you usually see all the colleagues butt naked in the sauna and steam room, can only imagine the horror if I would have fell on my boss instead of a random dude.

When I was in high school I was trying to impress some male friends that I worked out with and was on a leg press that you sat in with your back not quite parallel to the ground, but you're definitely low and are pumping the weights at an angle over your body. After each couple of reps they'd add more weight to it. And I ended up going to far with it and got completely stuck with my legs slammed up against my chest.

Also, same class, different day. I was doing calf presses on the universal machine and was using the whole stack of weights (not showing off, I just always had a really strong lower body when I was younger cuz I started in sports when I was, literally, 18 months old [I was the youngest registered speed skater in the United States at that age]). But I got distracted by someone off to my left and turned my body too much, one foot slipped off the press and the one alone couldn't support the weight and the entire stack of weights came crashing down. Not only did it shake the entire are but the bottom of the press pedals slammed into my right shin. I had to be taken to the nurses office cuz I couldn't put any weight on the leg and was out of commission for over a week. I was on track and field at the time and missed a meet due to my stupidity. >.<

I sweated so much during cardio-kickbox class the girl next to me slipped and fell. :embarassed:

Everybody farts at pilates, I have heard it called Pi-Fart-ees...the likelihood increases with age though! One older lady at a session I was in did this really spectacularly long fart, never heard anything like it...sadly she never came back to class.

yearssss ago, I stepped onto a treadmill that was already on. I got thrown off the back into a large metal garbage can that fell over and and make a loud SMASH noise, drawing everybody's attention to the mangled girl on the floor - me!

Totally farted in yoga class. Not just a little, polite *poot* but a long, juicy fart with teeth. Ok and it STUNK like it had just rolled right past a turd. It was awful. I was on a juice cleanse and sometimes you don't have control and your farts just can't be trusted. I heard someone trying to suppress their giggles, another person said "gross" under their breath. Mortified and frozen in place, I didn't how to damage control this one. I finished class as best I could and then as soon as they went into final relaxation I immediately got up, ran out of the studio and never went back. When I got home I discovered that yes, I had *kitten* myself a little.

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

Ok, my reply from the other day about dropping the medicine ball on my head just got trumped as I tried (with the aid of a good looking trainer with a super sexy Irish accent) to learn how to "snatch" and all I ended up doing was ramming the barbell into my boob.
