I LOVE this post! I haven't had any truly embarrassing moments at the gym yet but after reading these I know my time is coming.

oh my gosh, this thread just cheered me immensely. so I guess it's my turn!

I am "living the remote life" so no gym, but plenty of other opportunities to make an *kitten* of myself.

I was co-instructing a yoga class on twists, and being the example as 20+ students stood around. I got into a nice deep twist and my old broken rib decided to tweak on me, causing an extremely painful muscle spasm in my ribs. There I am, like a pretzel, the other instructor telling everyone about form and placement in her very soothing voice, and I had to do this little squeaky mumble thing, "help! can't move! stuck!" the other instructor them carefully extracts me from the twist with me whining like a sissy-girl the whole time. needless to say the students weren't all that excited about the pose. after I got my breath back I said something along the lines of, "and this illustrates why self-awareness is so important. you must know your limitations and never go too far..." as I had tears running down my cheeks.

I once decided to illustrate the old squat-thrusts we used to have to do in HS to a bunch of kids and my jeans ripped from belt line to knee, exposing my giant white butt to the whole village park. that was awesome. I sort of backed into the bar nearby (where I work) snuck back to the kitchen and used a stapler for a temporary mend.

my favorite which was embarrassing at the time, now just makes me laugh. I was out running on a path through the woods early in the morning with my headphones on and the endorphins were working overtime. I was buzzing and grooving so when a song came on that has great energy but is really kind of stupid lyrically and teen-girl poppy (you know the type) I stopped running and started to dance like a total spaz while singing along at the top of my lungs with my eyes closed. oh yeah. I was having a moment. After probably a good two minutes - most of the song - I opened my eyes to find one of my neighbors standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME in his running clothes, watching me and grinning from ear to ear. I quickly removed the earbuds and stammered something and he said, "don't mind me! I just didn't take you for the Avril Lavine type!"

later on in the day a picture of the moment appeared on facebook. of course. damn camera phones!

i tripped and fell on a treadmill, sprinting, and hit it, and it immediately shot me off the back into the wall.....................

I'm sorry, this must have been horrible but, I totally laughed out loud. Caught me off-guard. Hope you weren't hurt.

~I was done with my workout and talking to a few people who had been in the class after. Someone said something funny and we all laughed...and I farted. But it wasn't just a fart it was incredibly loud and my fart "laughed" with me. Everyone heard it and we couldn't help it because it sounded so much like a laugh...we laughed at it...which caused me to fart laugh again...and again...and again. By the time my body decided to stop being a side show attraction we had all laughed ourselves into tears.

HAHAHAHAHA this made my day! I'm sorry xx

I laughed.....afterward....a skinned knee was the only injury. But s 250lb guy getting shot into a wall off a treadmill going 9mph gets EVERYONE'S' attention!

I got some new bluetooth headphones for my iphone - so I can listen to music with out getting all tangled up in the cord.
The first day I was using them, on the treadmill for a warmup - gym is full, I forgot to turn the bluetooth on. I thought the sound quality wasnt that good, so I amped up the volume on my phone, only to realise after I was the *kitten* listening to music playing directly from my iphone on the treadmill - shame!

There are times I've feared this at home as sometimes it's the position I'm in. lol I'll think thank god I'm not working out with others right now.

My most embarrassing moment was in the locker room after my workout. I headed for the showers and was totally not thinking and pushed open the shower curtain to one of the shower stalls. Well, there was a reason the curtain was closed (DUH!!!) I'm not sure who was more surprised - me or the poor woman facing me, buck naked, holding a towel and reaching behind herself to dry off her *kitten* crack. Oh, and my gym is at WORK!

hahahahaha poor lady!! i totally pictured her in my head lol

i tried to bench too much and couldnt get the bar back up

Is that what happened to the dog in your picture?

Signing up for a personal training session for the first time. He told me to cycle for 10 minutes to warm up before we started. After about 6 minutes I was so knackered, I just got up and went home!

I had just started weight lifting and was still really insecure in the weight room - it was me and about 5 guys. I went over to the chest press bench and piled it up with what I thought was my poundage (80lbs at the time) and very confidently, laid down and went to work - I actually lifted it okay but then brought it down and literally could not move it an inch off my chest. I had to roll it down my body (painful) and then sit up and try to lift it back up to the bar rack. I realized after that I had loaded the bar with my typical squat press amount....which is about a 40 lbs difference. Schmuck.

I don't know if you can count it as a gym story.. but we were in a gym (high school gym)

We were doing football practice inside because of lightning. The football team was on one side, cheerleaders on the other. Well we were doing these drills were you'd catch a ball, run threw a agility ladder then drive over some pads onto a wrestling mat on the other side. Well I forgot to tie my shorts up tight.. I took the pass, ran threw the ladder and dove over the pads. When I landed my shorts and boxers went one way, I went the other. Needless to say everyone got to see me in all my glory. Including half the cheer squad :blushing:

I love the other guy in this video. How he just sits there watching his friend get owned by the treadmill and doesn't even offer him a hand up lol.

Here are the three I've done recently while working w/ my personal trainer:

1. I was swinging a weight at my side as part of a cardio circuit. Mid-rep, my trainer told me to bend my legs so I did. When I bent my legs, I inadvertently shifted so that my leg was in the way of the weight. I hit myself in the knee with the weight and fell backwards. I wasn't hurt. As soon as my trainer knew I wasn't hurt, he laughed really hard.

2. I was finished doing chest presses. My trainer was re-racking the weights. Instead of lifting the bar to get out from under it, I wriggled myself under the bar to get out. I realized how dumb it was after I did it and started laughing.

3. One of the first times I was working out with my trainer, I accidentally dropped the weights on the Smith before I had even started lifting.
