    Several: - and these were witnessed by several people I see at the gym. Made us all ...er....well you'll get it.

    1. First - The poor guy on the treadmill next to me (20s athletic) was running his butt off and I was on the elliptical next to him kicking some ....and all of a sudden his treadmill belt turned off......he went running/flying into the circuit board display in front of him and nearly summersalted over it. Looked like a wet dish rag hung out to dry. Of course you heard a loud "bang" and grunt. I was like "Holy crap"...and went to go help him but he was fine. I asked him what happened (I thought he outran the timer) and he said "it just turned off". Next day there was a sign posted (it was PRECOR by the way) that said "Treadmills may suddenly turn off without warning" Great.

    2. A woman who seems a bit ....different....swims at the olympic size pool. All the women (and trust me the men) notice when she warms up to swim because she makes all kinds of funny head movements - not tics exactly. What makes it embarressing is that she wears a suit with holes in it and pleasures herself while swimming.

    3. There is a gentleman from the far East who is older...much much older than the average person at the pool He water runs. Takes up a lane and just jogs. Problem is he stares at all the women in the pool under water........and even the very young ones. Then he takes a shower outside (there are plenty of indoor showers) and faces the wrong way so he can watch the girls get out of the pool He's been reported several times but they still let him in.

    4. There is a guy who comes to the pool At first I thought he was wearing a suit that was a bit different. He takes off his sweats outside (doesn't use the locker room) and then proceeds to warm up with jumping jacks for 20 minutes. WHen you look at his suit you swear it's underwear......and then you realize it is. He jumps in the pool, swims one half lap, and then sits against the wall for about 10 minutes, then swims another half lap. Gives me the creaps!

    5. Wardrobe malfunction - I was doing rows on the seated row pull weight machine when I realized that the family jewels were not only out of the safe, but were being reflected in the large convex mirror opposite the machine that truly makes objects appear larger and closer than they are...darn. If Only....

    Holy crap! #1 and #5 deserve and got giant belly laughs!

    This happened about a month ago. I got off work, went to the gym. Changing out of my work clothes into my jogging pants I thought one of legs felt odd. No biggie it must be bundled up from being in my gym bag. Two minutes later running on the tread mill a pair of my underwear pop out of the bottom of the leg and shoot back onto the floor! ARGH! Of course it wasn’t one of my new stylish boxers, but nooooo it had to be one of my ultra-cozy, broken elastic, will never give up, 10yr old tighty-whities. I thought to myself are you fkn’ kidding me! I got off the tread mill while it was still running, quickly picked them up, squeezed them into the tightest, smallest ball to fit in my hand went into the locker room grabbed my stuff and left. I wasn’t sure if anyone saw what happened but I did skip the gym the next day. I’ll never dry gym pants with socks & underwear again.

    Fell over doing lunges with heavy dumbbells. :laugh: :laugh:

    Tripped over my step in a step aerobics class - I didn't fall, I "saved" it with a lot of lurching and stumbling. :laugh:

    I went to the locker room because I had to pee. When I got there, there were only a couple of squares of t.p. left. Since I am a germ-a-phobe, and didn't have enough paper to cover the seat, I decided to "hover". Well, apparently I didn't get my shorts down far enough and I peed on the back of my shorts. :blushing: It was the one day that I had changed before going to the gym, so my clothes were out in my car. I was not about to walk through the gym with pee pee shorts, so I stood under the hand dryer until they were dry, went out to the car, got my bag, showered, and went home. I have not attempted that maneuver since. I would rather hold it.

    I was doing a fitness assessment - how many situps can I do in 1 minute....My friend was holding my feet and keeping track of time (of course there were 10 other people in the room), and I farted. I didn't break stride, just said, "Sorry". No problem.

    Two weeks later the same friend and I were lifting together and I ended up doing it AGAIN - right next to her. I was quite mortified....and she hasn't worked out with me since!

    ^ This happened to me at the drycleaners. About 10 people waiting in line, I pull a pair of slacks out of the bag to put them on the counter, and a pair of panties went flying across the front of the store and landed at the feet of a little old guy. Mortifying.

    LOL If I saw a sign like that, I'd be a little scared :noway:

    I didn't realize til a few weeks ago that the treadmills at my gym turn off after 60 minutes. There I was running along (thankfully kinda slowly, I think about 5.1 or so) and all of a sudden it turned off. I almost fell off and out loud said "dude, WTF?" The guy next to me laughed, apparently he hadn't expected me to swear at the machine and talk to it like it would answer me.

  • 1. I walked into the sign at the entrance because I obviously was not paying attention.

    2. The staff started cleaning under the treadmills and raised them all the way up at an incline to get under them, I didn't notice (headphones)...again...and I slammed my head into it.

    Running on the treadmill in the Gym. Got really hot and sweaty. Shook my head about something on the TV and then saw the look of horror on the face of the really good looking girl on the machine next to mine. I'd just spattered her with sweat :embarassed:
  • So many of these made me laugh out loud! HAHAHA! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    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 am STILL laughing about this 5 minutes later! Hilarious~

    I was a teenager and had just finished squats. I wasn't thinking and unloaded all the plates on one side first. Bad things happened and like a big boy, I ran away.

    Ages ago, I was once on the treadmill and a trump slipped out. I had my headphones in so I have no idea how loud it was? I also clapped and whooped along to the music once too :-\

    Last week at spinning at the back of the class, I whacked my knee on the handle bars and knocked my two water bottles off (I had two as I was doing back to back classes) they rolled to the front and I had to get off my bike and go and fetch them! Felt slightly silly!

    I havent been in a real gym in forever. I think it was 1989 actually. However on my last visit I walked right into a glass wall because I was so into watching a major hottie lift. I gave myself a pretty good bloody nose. My girlfriend was bent over howling in laughter but I did met the hottie when he came out from behind the glass to see if I was ok.

    I fell off the treadmill when it was still going...yup, that is actually my most embarrassing moment ever. My sweat towel was hanging over the handles and I saw it slipping off so I went to grab it and BOOM, slid right off onto the floor and it was still going as I was on the floor behind it bracing myself on the side rails! It hurt so bad...but I was only like 5 mins in to my jog so I felt like I had to keep going and pretended it didnt hurt! Some older gentleman came over to help me up, thank god it was mid day on a random weekday I had off from work so it wasnt that crowded.

    As soon as I got 20 mins in, I went to leave, teared up a little b/c I had been holding it in! I texted my best bud and he asked if I had gotten it on tape...now I cant help but laugh about it!

    I did almost exactly that the FIRST time I ever went to the gym.

    Mine didn't happen at a gym, but rather at my old kwoon (kung fu school):

    We were doing abdominal strength tests - newer students would get lightly punched with gloves on while standing up, more advanced students would lie down and have a person put a foot on their belly and push down, or have a medicine ball dropped on them from different heights.

    Then there were the senior students and instructors (the top students who would teach the classes the sifu would not be able to). Our goal was to have a smaller person STAND on our abdomen, then be able to flex and lift the person up and down (so we could control our muscles while still breathing). Since I was the instructor who specialized in strength, I had already practiced this for a while. So our sifu decided that he himself was going to stand on me, then have another person try to step on as well.

    His first foot went on... no problems. He brought the second foot up, and I "quacked" a little, but loud enough for the rest of the students to hear. Chuckles were to be had. I was red faced. But I managed to hold both him and the other guy successfully, so victory was mine.

    I'm just glad we didn't go through with the last phase of that training (running a VW Beetle over me while I've got a board over my abdomen) - the Beetle got into a wreck and had to be junked.

    Well..Personally I have had nothing really exciting happen at the gym..but ...my friend(hee hee) lost her tampon(just fell straight out)..AND..she was teaching a Kettle Bell class ..it was hung up on her shorts..so no one could see it. She excused herself and went to the ladies room.
    My story(all though not in a gym) would be when I was running outside and a goat chased me down the street. It was right flat in the middle of town so I did not expect to see a goat. It scared the living crap out of me..I screamed and ran so fast I could barely breathe. The same goat was in the parade that weekend:)

    At Lifetime fitness there is a row of treadmills facing away from the basketball court door. This particular day the door to the court was open. I shot a baseline shot that bounced off the rim and out the door. It lodged right underneath a moving treadmill. The poor guy almost took a header! Then the ball and the treadmill had this fight and a loud squealing noise ensued, scuffing up the basketball. I finally got it dislodged! The weird part is that I don't think the guy on it ever knew it was that. He kept playing with the buttons thinking that the machine was flipping out.

    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
