    No longer go to gyms as nobody wants you on a machine for thirty minutes let alone two hours or melting all over it or grunting or farting so self-gym and when finished go to my own shower and relax.

    Speaking of sweat lost eight pounds on exercise bike last night and that needs a mop and a bucket to clean up.

    You know how you accelerate if on a rowing machine if you sense there is somebody in your periphery.
    My wife in gym went up one notch then another then another trying to keep up with somebody behind her until belting along at a heart thumping rate and thought I can not carry on who is that?
    Turns around and it was Daley Thompson double Olympic decathlon champion.

    At my gym all of the treadmills face the swimming pool. (separated by glass) There was this old asian guy swimming in these baggy swim trunks that were not only too wide for him but too short if you get my drift. Everyone was looking and we would then look at each other and I said to the lady next to me this can't end well. A few minutes later after he swam a couple of laps he climbs out of pool and his swim trunks were up even higher and all of his junk was hanging out. We all busted out laughing. Just then my tread mill stopped dead and I flew forward and fell to my knees on the treadmill nearly hitting my face on the controls. But I was still laughing so hard I didn't care that my knees were all banged up. I just hung onto the bars laughing and rolled over onto my side with tears rolling down my face in laughter. The ladies on either side of me were then cracking up laughing at both the old man with his junk hanging out and me laughing hysterically on the treadmill.

    Got to be farting on the weights whist getting up! Made worse by the fact a bloke said to me 'if I hadn't have had my earphone in then, otherwise I might have heard you fart!'

    Next one was being in the ladies steamroom for 25 mins! I hadn't noticed they had moved the signs round on the doors, shortly after they hasd opened! Honest mistake!

    Not that the woman who challenged me believed my explaination.

    Worst was when I finally got back to the gym post accident and hip surgery for a busted femur at the femoral neck.

    I was obese, tummy and manboobs up tight against my shirt, slowly limping my way around a walking track at a mild jog with bad form cause of the pain from my injury, and some teenagers in the gym below saw me, pointed and started laughing at me.

    It was damn depressing and embarrassing.

    Jerk-offs.

    Who's laughing now though!

    I rarely wear shorts, my thighs touch. My work out pants were dirty and it was shorts or pj bottoms. I couldn't bring my self to use the pjs so shorts it was. I had ear buds in but music off walking back to the locker room to put away my wallet (had to get it to buy a water after realizing I'd left my water bottle at home) and these teenagers were pointing and laughing.

    I couldn't help but to feel sorry for them as they don't realize their 'workout' (15 minutes on the treadmill) wasn't going to keep them the way they currently are forever....

    Heavy weight + bench press + gas = Loud noise :blushing:

    Yup. I'd say sh$t happens, but not 100% correct. At least in my case.

    I saw myself in the mirror and realized that I left the tags on my new gym clothes and let out a girlie scream.

    It's that or the time i went to take off my sweat pants to get down to my running shorts and grabbed a few too many layers. Not a pretty sight for the ladies on the ellipticals behind me.

    In order:

    1 - long trouser leg getting caught on the peddle in my spin class, right bum cheek exposed followed by sweaty tugging of the trouser which ripped all the bottom

    2 - breaking wind while doing a sit up with loud music on my ipod so NO idea who heard and how loud!

    3-dropping my ipod on the treadmill and it flying off and hitting the back wall narrowly missing about 3 people in the process
  • i was using an empty weight bar to do pull ups. I somehow pulled too hard and it came tumbling down and I fell on my *kitten*.

    After running for an hour and a half on the tradmill, I looked down and noticed two red spots on my shirt.

    I was doing incline situps as my personal trainer was tossing a 10 lb ball to me. I would catch it on the down move, complete the sit up and push the ball back to him on the "up" portion of the sit up. Anyway, I must of just drank a protein drink or had a protein bar (they make you gassey). During one of the sit ups, I caught the ball, my back hit the ground, I clenched, and ripped one that shook the walls.

    Grossed out the ladies in the gym. The guys who consume a lot of protein drinks/bars understood and laughed.
  • I was trying to do a handstand on a bar for gymnastics, but one of my elbows wasn't locked and I collapsed head first onto the bar. Five minutes later, I woke up on a chair and had no idea what happened. I think that's the only time I've ever been knocked out by physical force.

    I didn't go to the cleanest gym ever. I went into the locker room and walked out dragging a long strand of toilet paper with me, stuck on the bottom of my sneaker.

    Getting dressed after going swimming and there was three boys in the locker room with their mom (which they shouldn't have been... two of them were old enough to get dressed by themselves- 2or 3rd grade). The middle one turned to his mom and said "Wow! She's got really big boobs!"

    Um... yeah. Not too happy about them being in there... was taking care of my kids at the time too (2 and 6 months) so that we all didn't freeze when we hit the subzero February temperatures.

    Hopefully that woman sends her boys to the boys locker room.

    While I didn't find this that embarrassing, it was hilarilous.

    My university gym has a "cardio theater". It's just 15 TV's always on the same 15 different channels on a wall. So one day I go to the gym at a weird time, so literally NOTHING I wanted to watch was on. I had the choice of soap operas, news, or Twilight. Well, I decided to watch Twilight because I figured it was the lesser of the evils. Now that I look back, I should have just watched the news.

    There was one scene where the vampire guy makes this big speech about how he's a lion and she's a sheep and blah blah blah and then he shows girly face that he can sparkle.... I burst out laughing because the whole scene was so stupid and fell off the elliptical I was on. Some guys ran over going "omg are you ok!?" and I couldn't stop laughing. I just kept saying "HA! TWILIGHT IS ON!!!"

    They looked at me like I was nuts.

    But on another note, that movie is hilariously stupid.

    I did that at Disney World in one of the nice restaurants.
  • Wasn't paying attention and pulled all the weight off one side of my squat bar in a sketchy squat rack, sending the bar and other side flying into the floor/other equipment. I was paying so little attention I thought to myself "what an idiot" thinking the guy NEXT to me had dropped a pile of weight.

    Until I looked up and saw my bar was missing and the other guy looked terrified.

    It never happened to me.... I was in a spinning class and there was a lady in the front row, working out very hard, she was moaning very loudly, we could hear her above the loud music, like she was having "relations". She did this many times in classes and it was really distracting and made we utterly sick. I think she was getting more out of her workout then what most people get. I think management talked to her, as it was so disturbing for the instructors and other class participants.

    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. My friend whom I work out with frequently, looks at me and says "Are you happy to see me?" I am confused for a moment, totally going over my head. And then...it hits me! I am so embarrassed! Needless to say I have purchased some petals to cover them up! LOL!
  • I fell off the elliptical..and I hate that machine as a rule, but all the other stuff was taken. So yeah, I didn't fall on my *kitten*..but I made that "oh my god I'm gonna fall" noise. haha My friend died laughing at the look on my face. Then my buddies that work there remembered that it would have been captured on the security cameras....yeah...they played it over and over. lol

    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 was casually running on the treadmill. 3 min after I had started to run I dropped my pants. Since I was at the gym I didn't wear fancy lingerie but rather my cosypanties with small frogs on them, haha!

    Going down a pantsize isn't always positive ;)

    Well, it could have been real bad. You could have decided to go comando that day

    This makes me happy my gym has a family changing room and that parents aren't allowed to bring opposite sexed children into the locker rooms

    Well this NEVER happened to me or anything...but I know a girl who went to the gym late at night, she was the only one there, which she LOVES. She was running hard on the treadmill and couldn't help but crop dust a little. She says it happens to the best of people (not me, of course), so she was just wondering what crawled up her *kitten* and died cause it was nasty, and counting her blessings that she was alone when the CUTEST, HOTTEST guy she'd seen in a long time came in and got on the treadmill right next to her...dayum. She didn't bother to make eye contact...true story.

    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! Luckily I was also wearing a hoodie so I zipped it up all the way after that and I'm PRETTY SURE no one noticed

    I saw...

    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.

    and this is why I'm being extremely choosey while gym shopping! Only considering those offering day passes so I can see for myself what really goes on there.

    Crop dusting. believe it or not, I've never heard that. I like it. I'm sure this story wasn't about you.....:embarassed:
  • My underpants split while doing squats. I was already having a bad day so I just went home.
  • I have thrown up at the gym multiple times....awkward and definitely gross...
