    When i was younger and in wrestling, my ding dong was hanging out of my leotard. Pretty embarrassing :/

    I no longer wrestle and therefore don't wear leotards either. :D

    Bench pressing by myself...I thought there was nobody in the gym but I want to work out heavy on the bench. I got set up I laid down on the bench, took the bar off and slowly started lowering it...I touched the bar to my chest and thought to myself...I got this...I think it was about half way up I suddenly realized I didn't have it...I managed to get the bar back up just over the half-way point. Then to my discouragement watched as the bar came slowly back down and rested on my chest. Now when it was on my chest it did not hurt at 1st because I had taken a deep breath before I took the bar off the rack...but seconds went by like a shooting star. I knew I had to do something and fast...so I found myself rolling the bar down toward my feet. Now keep in mind that this had never happened to me before so I had no Idea what I was in for. As the bar rolled off my ribs I felt the bar touch my spine...it was then I found out that my abs were not as strong as my chest. The pain was excruciating and it was then I found out another unwanted trait about myself...I could scream like a little girl. Well to sum it up I dumped the weights to one side and the other side swung quite quickly the opposite side snatching me off the bench...Well remember I said I thought I was alone...well I was but I didn't think about the camera that had recorded the whole thing...needless to say my friends are still laughing about it

    Not in a gym but...

    ...my buddy, the HS coach is gross. He used to always wear coaching shorts and, was always digging at either his "bow" or "stern" at the same time while picking his nose. Then he switched hands! He was compulsive. He didnt care where he was or who was around. We would never shake hands with him or borrow his golf clubs....and you can imagine what the steering wheel in his car was encrusted with. JAY-ZUS he was nasty.

    One day I happen to see him in a Kmart and as his common practice, he was intently focused on the task of tending his stern..... His hand was buried up to the wrist!

    So stealthily I creeped up behind him and with my mouth inches from his ear said, "find what youre looking for you ill bred beast?"....and in a flash I found myself nose to nose with a complete stranger! He looked at me & I looked at him....neither of us said a word...and then we went our own way! :bigsmile:

    I have 2.

    I was doing walking lunges and 8 of the hot guys were standing around the leg extension. I'd lunged up and back and on my 3rd set tripped over my own foot and sent the 8kg dumbbell flying. They still call me dumbbell when I see them.


    Last night I forgot my Ipad so was watching the cardio tv and a show about a sex study was on. While they were interviewing a couple I laughed so hard at their answer I slipped off the elliptical. I sat their laughing tangled in the machine for at least 5 miuntes. Thankfully the gym was empty

    I brought my 2 yr old swimming. While changing out of his swim diaper and putting on a regular one, he pees on the floor. The carpeted floor. Whoops.

    Just last week.... I spent 30 minutes trying to find my locker until I finally realized I had just stuffed my bag in a locker and forgot to put my lock on it. I'm pretty sure the guys in the locker room and the gym attendant thought I was suffering from early onset dementia.

    I had a "wardrobe malfunction" once in a yoga class when I forgot to bring my sports bra with my gym clothes... Shelf bra + D cup + downward facing dog = bad deal, ladies!

    I saw...

    I figured "oh it's only yoga, not like they're going to bounce out or anything" but noooo.

    A friend of mine whos in the army and in wonderful shape used to work out with me when we were training for a 5K, and he always made up the workouts. I will try just about anything and don't complain but never in my life have I ever been able to do a pull up or chin up. So he makes me do effing pull ups in a crowded gym full of buff army dudes. I couldnt even do one, needless to say. I was making all kinds of weird noises and laughing awkwardly at myself. He decided to push me up by my a** to do like,5. It was terrible.

    I don't know if anyone one else has this problem..i.e. ladies! When I work out my breasts have a habit of being extremely perky! This particular day I had a white shirt on, and of course a sports bra underneath. Mind you I am extremely sweaty.


    lololol omg this happens to me all the time so i dont even count it as most embarassing thing ever...its just a daily occurrence. I thought it was just me.

    Back when I played softball, I was up to bat during a game. I slammed the ball into the outfield and took off for first base.. Well there was a bump or rock or something in the dirt that tripped me up and I face-planted into the dirt. I got back up and ended up being so panicked that I just busted my *kitten* in front of like 100 people, I tripped AGAIN and fell OVER first base and ended up getting tagged out. I ran back to the dugout pretty quickly. :grumble:

    It was...pretty mortifying for me. I'm a shy person so even batting for me was a big deal in front of so many people. :blushing:

    I was cruising on the treadmill and I felt something run down my leg and out of the corner of my eye saw something hit the treadmill belt and fly backwards. I turned around to see what it was and it was a pair of my wife’s underwear that had been stuck with static to either my shirt or shorts. Without thinking I grabbed them an put them in my pocket, then continued my run. I’m sure everyone who witnessed this thought I was a complete perv.

    I passed out on the treadmill and flew off and hit the lady on the stair-climber behind me. Couldn't figure out what caused my black-out, until two days later when I found out I was pregnant :). Was very lucky I didn't get hurt or cause a miscarriage, because I was really bruised up on my lower back from hitting the stair-climber, and on my stomach from falling forward off the climber and smashing into the floor.

    Didn't notice an "Out of Order" sign taped to the glutes machine when I proceeded to get on and use it. So I'm face down with my butt in the air doing the leg lifts while these 3 men that are the "gym regulars" just stood there and looked at me like I was an idiot!

    I was taking a Sh'Bam class and had an asthma attack...obviously I left, but as I was leaving the instructor yelled over her microphone, "BYE! Thanks for stopping by!" and totally called attention to the fact that I was leaving. I was MORTIFIED and never could bring myself to go back to that class...

    In high school i was on the rowing machine, and i forgot to strap my feet in using the straps on the pedals.. Anyway started rowing, few seconds after i fell back off the rowing machine, banged my head on the floor and my feet were up in the air! :blushing:

    But then a hot fit trainer came and rescued me and helped me up, and got me an ice pack for my head... :love: maybe should do this more often :noway:

    I used to work as a janitor in a gym. Thats the most embarrassing thing thats happened to me in a gym. Cleaning *kitten* sweat isn't a confidence booster.

    It actually happened this morning.

    I did my big lift, my hypertrophy lift, and was finishing up with some incline crunches as an assistance exercise. I took my feet out from under the retaining bar and slid backwards down the bench. For the other sets, I learned to hold on the retaining bar before taking my feet out.

    Luckily, I don't believe anyone saw.

    Can't decide between my 2...decided to forget the laws of physics during unloading the bar (had 200Kg on it) in a squat rack and watched in horror as I removed the last plate from one side as the other side dropped down hit the floor then swung up and hit the guy next to me smack in the forehead and the time I had a new protein shaker and filled it from the water fountain in the gym (by the cool down stretching mats) then proceeded to shake vigourously at which point the lid came off and covered the mirror and the girl strecthing out on the mats in protein shake?

    You can squat 485 pounds?

    Either that or the person before didn't unload the bar!

    I was working out with my trainer one morning about 2 1/2 years ago (this was when I was in EXCELLENT shape and preparing to run a 1/2), and we were on the track at the gym. The goal was to do lunges the short ends of the track (it's 1/8 mile) and then sprint the long sides. Well, I did the lunges, stood up to sprint, took two strides, and my right hip locked up and I fell FLAT on my face. He looked at me and said "ok, maybe we wait a second or two between lunges and sprinting". LOL.

    I farted directly into the face of the person behind me (they were still standing up), while in the yoga "downward dog" pose. It was loud too. Yoga always makes me fart.

    Accidentally dropped a 100 lb plate about 1' from the floor... onto my big toe.

    My brother lost the top part of 3 fingers this way. Dropped the plate on his finger tips and took them clean off. It was during high school football and the coach drove him to the hospital, finger tips on ice and re attached them with prosthetic nails. There is a video of the procedure at Purdue University somewhere... :laugh:
