    This is more gym class than adult gym, but when I was in high school we had to do pushups one day. I decided I was going to try for a real pushup and not a knee pushup, but I did not have the strength for it...I was so weak I literally fell on my face when my arms gave out.

    The worst part was not my gym teacher laughing at me, it was when he reminded me of it the following week when he told me his friends all thought it was funny too.

    As an adult, every real pushup I do is sweet, sweet revenge on that *kitten*.

    Dropped a 70 on my toe. Pinched my hand on 405 rack pulls when re racking. Ripped a huge calus during deadlifts at the gym. Blood all down my hand and forearm. Missed the bench (well sideways) when laying back for db bench lol. Slid off an had to throw the weights away from me. Lol That one was several years ago. My life is exciting.

    one of the machines had a broken part, but was not marked out of order, and I didn't realize anything was wrong. I went to lift and BAM one of the handles hit me in the nose. I was stunned for a few minutes. I just sat there going "uhhhhhhguhhhhhh unnggggh" and it was not pleasant at all.

    Not sure if gym fail but my friend answered my joke mass text-message about "working out at 12:30am" and actually dared me to show up, pick her up, and head to the gym. Showed up, said she was getting ready, 5 minutes later, she's passed out in her room with an empty bottle of Fernet Branca on the floor and an open plastic DVD case of Firefly in her hands. Just placed a pillow under her head and threw this Morrissey blanket over her.

    Just printed something off her computer and will post it on her fridge. LOL.

    Outta here.

    After a good work out I had a quick shower and was changing into my swimming costume for a post work out hydrotherapy session. I clearly hadn't dried myself properly after the shower though - and was struggling to get my costume on...... I had got to the point where my butt cheeks were neatly framed by the cut out back of my swimsuit and I could go no further.
    I can only apologise to any gym users who saw me semi naked - with a beautifully framed butt bouncing up and down in the changing room. Enough to put even the hardiest gym goer off!

    One time I was on the stationary bike and let one rip. I guess the gas mixed with all my butt sweat because the smell lingered for like half an hour! The only reason I risked the embarassment was because there was an old guy on the bike next to me so I figured people would think he was the one who couldn't control his bladder lol.

    I was fortunate enough to have access to a great gym for military instructors. I was alone with my music playing over the loud speakers..until a huge group of students walked in. Took their shirts off and started wrestling on the mats. My next song played and happened to be Say Anythings " I Can Get Sexual Too." I filled that room with awkwardness like it was my job.

    My first day at my old gym, my workout started with a treadmill workout. Stepping off the treadmill at the end, I tripped over the end of it and went straight into my knee on the concrete floor. It hurt like a SOB and was so embarrassing.

    This happened a few years back but at this gym in Arizona (Florence/Anthem where a friend of mine bought a house), they have a private gym within the community that's equipped with brand new everything. Anyway, it's got nothing to do with all of that, because this incident occurred in the restroom. I was pi$$ing and some guy stood about 1-2 urinals next to me and all of a sudden said "Hey heyyyyy! What're you up to?" I looked at him, perplexed, but I didn't want to be rude so I was like, "Sup man. Nothin' really. Just pi$$ing. You?" Guy looked at me weird and zipped his pants up real quick, turned around, washed his hand, and walked out fast. Then I suddenly realized that this dude had a BlueTooth earbud on and was probably talking to his wife the entire time.

    Crazy thing is, I had to play basketball against his team and I think he was some sort of homophobe (I'm not gay but he probably thought I was some homosexual pervert) so I basically asked for the ball down low during defensive switches and murdered that team. Guy didn't wanna touch me/guard me at all.

    Felt like Michael Jordan that day. LOL!

    I have VERY long hair which I keep in a ponytail braid while working out. While doing the ab machine my head got a jerk from my hair getting caught in the machine. Doh!
