There was this one time I was in a hot yoga class and I ripped one. Bad. I was almost a little proud of it, but this lady behind me moved away. I guess it wasn't far enough, though, because she totally threw up. Then I was definitely proud of it. I haven't seen much of her lately, though.

Omg! I'm gonna pee myself! Lmao!

What better first post than one making fun of yourself right?

Anyways this isn't really a gym story but it involves a treadmill. Anyways I'm a firefighter and twice a year we do consumption testing where we don all of our bunker gear and airpacks and do some sort of strenuous activity to gauge our air consumption. Well this isn't well received by everybody so some people will cheat and blow off air in hidden parts of the course or breathe faster to get the test done faster. So a few years ago they decided to standardize the test and do the whole thing on a treadmill. So there I was in full turnouts on air doing a brisk walk. Being in the mask has a sort of sensory deprivation quality to it. I let go of myself for a second and closed my eyes. Next thing I knew I was falling backwards. I came down HARD on my knees, slid off the treadmill and went face first into the belt. Luckily I was wearing my helmet too and I whacked that on the belt instead of my mask/face. My acting officer and the other crewmember were all worried but I was fine-just had lost situational awareness for a second. For the rest of the test my officer made me hold onto the handrails. Luckily nothing but my pride was hurt.

Another one... When I was in junior high, I had been in a rush to get get to school one day after sleeping late. While getting dressed I quickly selected my clothes for the day and a pair of matching socks out of the clean hamper. It wasn't until doing stretches in gym class when I looked at my feet and saw that I had pink ruffles attached to my socks. I had grabbed my sisters socks instead of mine. I tried my best to fold the ruffled part into my shoe but it didn't work. I had to do the entire class in those stupid socks.

I have seen many of these where people say "That is why I don't go" or "After that I quit that gym"

None of the stories, while somewhat embarrassing at the time, are so bad to keep you from going back are they?

Even the Yoga poop pants wouldn't keep me away the next class.

I think it depends on where you are in your fitness life. I was probably at my third day at the gym, 50lbs overweight and I got on the eliptical machine and it broke...like went clattering to floor taking my chubby self along with it. The trainer on the floor, a really attractive guy, looked right at me and laughed. No one asked me if I was ok (I was bruised) no one helped me up. I was devastated and never came back. It took me another two years to get back to working out. Now that was MY fault but the experience was painful.

I would have been the same way in that situation. That was embarrassing and it's not even remotely funny - I'm so sorry that @sshole was such a jerk. What goes around comes around - it will be repaid on him some how some way in the future. Karma sometimes has an odd sense of humor and a vindictive streak.....

One 'moral of story' emerging is...NEVER close your eyes on a treadmill. :laugh:

I think my most embarrassing gym moment happened on Tuesday.

I take a Yoga class at my gym and normally there are a stack of mats in there for people to use who don't have one. Well that day there wasn't and they were all in studio one where they had another class going on. So i peered into the studio and saw a mat in the back by the door that wasn't be used, so I opened the door and took it. As I'm walking away, this older blond lady comes running out of the studio screaming "NO NO NO! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?! YOU CAN"T TAKE THAT MAT!" and I was trying to explain to her that I'm taking yoga, there are no mats and I need one. "WELL I DON"T CARE! WE NEED THEM TOO!' and proceeds to rip the mat out my hands,run back into the studio and starts giving me dirty looks along with another exerciser in the class.

Funny part was there was people all in the weight room that is by the studio, and they all went I cannot believe that just happened... Here you can take our mat.

best thread EVER.

I was working out with my trainer and we moved to a new exercise - stand with my back to the machine, with a rope attached to the weight/pullley system, and repeatedly pull it forward and back between my legs. I got through the session but laughed about it with my friends for days... when I got back, I told the PT what it felt like I was doing (something to do with jerks and elephants!) and she changed the form of the exercise to be something I could get through a 2nd time without laughing my butt off.

A few years ago..more like a decade..I was on my " AUNT FLO" and I was using a pad bcuz of the heavy flow, well...not really thinking..I sweat butt first when exercising, I wore a navy blue Capri tight pants...lol...well as I sweated, I sweated right around the pad area...so ppl could see the dry shape pad as I walked around in the gym...smh

Yesterday I was running on the treadmill and they have TV's right in front of them to keep you entertained so I was watching it to keep myself from getting bored right? And I can't remember what show it was but this lady said something really funny and I couldn't stop laughing about it and the more I ran there thinking about it the harder I was laughing and people were staring at me like I was crazy XD I eventually just had to stop running because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe! :laugh:

During a body combat class, i didn't notice a woman running past me and punched her in the head Also, our gym swipe cards look similar to a loyalty card from sexyland... i think the most embarrassing part was the fact the lady at reception didn't find it at ALL funny when i scanned it by mistake, but my friend and i nearly wet ourselves laughing for the next hour like a bunch of dorks

Yep, pretty much just that happened to me. I learned to *never* watch Dodgeball ("If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!" THUNK!) while running on the treadmill. I managed to yank the little safety key while I collapsed, so the damage was minimal.

This one's from my ex..

She was working out in the gym one day and this hot guy kept looking over at her and then whispering to his buddy. She just kept doing her workout but every once in while she'd look over and sure enough he'd be checking her out again! She was in a relationship at the time (not me) so she didn't bother pursuing it. She just took it as a compliment, finished her workout and headed to the change room. It wasn't until then that she noticed a certain white string had worked it's way through a small hole in crotch of her yoga pants.

OMG!!! I would friggin' die if that happened to me.

When I started university I went a bit wild with all the freedom, as you do, going out and getting drunk all the time. I had my gym induction session after a particularly heavy night.

I got up that morning, bleary eyed and running late. Threw on my workout clothes and hurried down to the gym. I got some funny looks on the way down, but in typical arrogant 18 year old fashion, thought it must be because I was looking hot, despite the terrible hangover.

I got to the gym and met my induction instructor. He was gorgeous - and he too kept staring at me strangely. I was convinced that he fancied me and flirted ridiculously.

I finished the induction, having felt like I might vomit the whole way through, and went to the changing rooms. Then I looked in the mirror for the first time that day, and realised that I looked like I was the victim of a vampire attack. My neck was covered in huge, dark purple hickies. I really mean HUGE. I remembered kissing a guy the night before - but I had no idea that he had done that to me.... No wonder I was getting some funny looks!!

Mine was in a spin class

10 minutes into the class and i was getting my groove on and really getting into it and then...my trousers got caught on the right hand side of the wheel and as i was going fast the trousers went round and round and then they got yanked down and my butt cheeks were on show and the force of the wheel pulled me back onto my seat


HAHAHAH i found it funny.....after trying for 5 mins to yank byt trousers out of the friggin wheel

This is from Jim Gaffigan: he was in the gym for the 1st time and wasn't sure how to work any of the machines. So he got into one and started moving around and he was getting good, really proud of himself and even showing off a little looking around smiling at the ladies. Then someone came over and told him to get out of the scaffolding.

I thought this was hilarious.

uhh this past New Year's Eve i was doing my high intensity active rest cardio on the step board at my coed sports club.. cuties all around lifting, then.. wham the mismatched brand board and pedestals (i checked before i started that they were as locked as best as they could be..) slipped sideways and down i fell.. hard. sheesh.

2" gash from the corner of the board on my left inner forearm.. thinking "i'm cool.. i'm cool.." and "damn that hurt"

older cutie asked if i'm ok.. then later as he was leaving said "take care.. you don't want to get hurt badly.. it's New Year's Eve!"

wiped away the blood in the changeroom and headed back to finish my strength and weight training.. paising occasionally to get paper towels to wipe the drips away.. no blood on the machines.. promise.. die hard!

i still have the scar.. it looks like i was in a knife fight.. tough *kitten* branded i am

moral: don't drink and dance step cardio. lol. j/k
