    Love this thread!

    Mines was in the gym a fews weeks back and I was on the floor with a Swiss ball and doing Russian Twists with a medicine ball and a twist involves rolling across the ball on your upper back and shoulders so unbeknown to me there was a few kinda hot bodybuilder guys at the weights next to me and I lost my concentration on the twist watching one of the guys walk past and I rolled right off the ball onto my *kitten*. I was mortified and just burst out laughing and so did the guys at the weights lol one offered a hand to help me up but he couldn't stop laughing! I nearly died! Lol:bigsmile:

    It's endless with me.

    Every time I get off a machine seat and leave a sweaty *kitten* print. Try to wipe it off before the trainer notices but we both know it's there.

    Madam, to you I take off my hat and bow. People who don't clean their sweat off machines is a real bug bear of mine!

    An awkward moment that I experienced, was when I was having a shower after a workout at my old gym. This guy got into the next cubicle. And there were a row of cubicles with a shower curtain. Anyway, this guy sticks his head in my cubicle while I was showering and asked me whether I'd like him to wash my back. I politely declined the VERY friendly gesture. It was only later that I realised the gym is a popular beat for gay men who have sex on the premises.
    I had a good laugh about it later.

    *stares* we were saying something? God I love staring at the hot guys at the gym.. >.>

    One time I was staring at a particularly hot guy. I was stretching and he was doing cable flys. On his first set he noticed me staring at him so he stared back with a, "what?" expression. I just smiled. When he came back to do his second set, I went into a splits stretch and leaned forward resting my elbows on the floor with my chin in my hands. He looks over and sees me staring at him like that and he chuckles and shakes his head. It was funny.


    Yesterday was ab day. My diets been inconsistent with the stress I've had lately and I was a bit gassy. I was doing leg raises and I kept farting. After the second or third fart i just gave up and switched to scissor kicks. This one girl that likes to say hi to me was near when it happened. I'm not sure if she heard. I was a bit embarrassed.

    A note to all women: cheap tights are transparent when you stretch. I don't want to know that you have a pad on :(.

    THIS! ARGH! Most awkward thing to witness!
    They're also transparent when you sweat.
    They're also transparent when they're too small.

    Hm....what about lulus? I don't wear underwear with mine because I hate wearing underwear with tight bottoms but sometimes I wonder if I bend over to stretch or the light hits them a certain way they might be transparent. I haven't noticed this when other women wear lulus so maybe I'm just being paranoid.... Am I a creep for not wearing underwear to the gym?

    wait, I don't care..it's better than big uncomfortable panty lines or working out with a thong up your crack the whole time imo.

    Ha! Wow. I think you handled that better than most men would've. Hey, it's just a compliment if you think about it...

    close second
    also guy drying his balls off with the hand dryer thing, naked of course

    Trying to greentext on MFP?

    There is also an old guy who dries his balls off at my gym with a hair dryer. He casually talks to strangers while he does it. Everyone knows who he is and tries to avoid going to the locker room when he is there. They all think he is creepy, I think he is a comedic genius. I can't wait to get old and pretend to be senile. I'll probably make extra trips out of the house just to entertain myself by doing senile things.

    Old guy didn't realize that when squatting in basketball shorts, everyone in the gym gets a full view through his mirror at his entire package.

    Even after he realized, he didn't stop...

    I can never eat raisins again....


    bwahaha old guys do not give a damn!

    When my trainer tells me he knows I'm at my max weight because I'm "making the poop face that people only make when it's working"

    Falling off bosu balls. Not particularly graceful.

    When I a friend and I'm all smiles and upon further inspection it is not said friend at all, but a complete stranger.

    When I try to adjust a machine but it's stuck so I jiggle the nobs around for 5 mins before asking someone who is stronger or admit defeat and walk away like a newb.

    When my trainer tied my knees together with resistance bands and made me do side stepping squats down the track. So effective but feels slightly degrading.

    When my trainer is trying to explain an exercise to me and I am trying to keep a serious face but that damn "what does fox say" comes on (why is that even on the radio?!)

    I've been known to walk into walls randomly even though I've been going to the same gym for over a year.

    The way the bathroom entrances are designed are ridiculous because you can't see around the corner and ladies walk fast apparently because I nearly collide with someone on my way in/out every day.

    and who hasn't let one slip in yoga? Especially when you're cutting down calories and have a very veggie dense diet... if you haven't, you're doing it wrong.

    like I said...endless.


    story of my life!! haha

    not me but my wife before she started working out properly.
    She was on one of the eliptical machines giving it her all and the machine screen suddenly read "resume workout?"
    It had thought she'd stopped!

    Not really gym related but I seem to have trouble getting my head out of the way when I answer my desk phone. People who call me are often greeted with "clunk, ow..... hello, Steve here"
