Yeah I was at the gym but I had sweatpants on too0 -
One time I was wearing yoga pants that were a bit long and a bit too loose (bc I had lost weight...yipee), and I stepped on the back of them on the elliptical and pantsed myself. Luckily it was around midnight and there were only two other people in the gym...and since the ellipticals are in the back, I don't think either of them saw it

Bet you couldn't do that again even if you tried haha0

I had been sick and decided to go to a body pump class when I started feeling better... almost passed out and they stopped the class and called the medical team and everything. I never went to that class again!
Then one day I dropped my phone while the treadmill was running and stopped walking by reflex and almost fell.
Good times.
Oh yeah I also can't do crunches without my abs cramping up, so it's another reason I skip classes now... too embarrassing when it happens, or to have to sit that part out.1 -

That's nasty lol0 -
I'm still a n00b with the whole gym scene, so sometimes I've tried to use a machine, cannot figure it out and just leave it to try another one. That's kind of embarrassing...lol
Luckily, I go after midnight, so it's typically dead. So I don't get embarrassed, really.2 -

How about asking an employee, for help? Everyone was once a beginner & didn't know how to use the equipment; it isn't common sense & much of what we consider, to be common sense; is actually taught to us at some point! I've never been to a gym myself & thus have no experience, with commercial grade equipment. I'd go straight to customer service & tell them that, I have no clue; how to use the equipment & if no 1 helps me, you might have to replace broken equipment; when I am done with it!0 -
It may seem stupid, but I am way too shy to ask for help. Where I go, there are multiple options, so it's not like a specific area is being neglected as a result. There have just been times when I thought I'd try something new, could figure the machine out and just moved on to what I knew lol.DeficitDuchess wrote: »I'm still a n00b with the whole gym scene, so sometimes I've tried to use a machine, cannot figure it out and just leave it to try another one.

I've tripped myself up on the treadmill. Ive stumbled because I have a bad habit of trying to dance on the treadmill when a really good song comes on my headphones.

Well on the bright side, some people're too shy; to even enter a gym but you aren't, so that's wonderful! 1 -
A friend of mine asked me to spot her on the bench a few weeks back, so i asked her if she wanted me to hold the bar on the way down or let go after the lift off.... she said hold on to it.. ok fine, but she dropped the bar that fast i boob punched her by accident:/, she found it pretty funny so it was all good lol,1

A man next to me on treadmill had his headphones on very loud and I assume he thought he was letting silent farts go, but they were not silent, and they were deadly. It was awful lol2

One of the first times I ever ventured into the free weight area I decided to try walking lunges with dumbbells. I had seen another lady do them and it looked pretty easy. I made it about 10 feet and then lost my balance and just fell over onto the floor (in front of a bunch of guys, of course). I didn't do that one again until I'd mastered it at home.

Hmmm... Embarrassment while working out? You mean besides hiking in the woods... on the trail... needing to pee and thinking you're alone... being a girl and all... Yeah, not sure who was more embarrassed... lol3

All of mine are pretty standard...farted in yoga (they don't call it "wind release pose" for no reason), realized my yoga pants were see-through when my husband pointed out he could see the pattern of my underwear through them, realized I had a strategically disadvantageous hole in a pair of yoga pants *after* class, wore too loose of a shirt and the class was practically upside down that day and no amount of tucking in was helping, broke an exercise band which went shooting across the room, phone fell and flew off the back of the treadmill, dripped sweat on someone else's step when we were doing exercises that traveled across the room.
Seriously, so many things that I cannot even be bothered to be embarrassed anymore!2 -

I love hiking but man, as a woman it can really suck.1 -
I was doing a home workout, following some Zumba videos on YouTube. I got really into it, busting a move to Ricky Martin when I noticed something on the TV screen reflecting. My postman was stood outside my window dancing along. I have no idea how long he was there for but he definitely saw enough for me to be red faced answering the door.7

One time I kicked back the dumbbells too hard on flat bench and I fell off. Lol.
Miss loaded hammer strength machines several times.
Loud farts during deads. (I usually powerlift at home tho).
Good times.1 -
Aside from the usual farts and half-boners, no.
I use my complex's fitness room and I was in there yesterday alone. A woman walked in while I was doing goblet squats and walked towards one of the two treadmills, stopped, looked at me and pointed at the treadmill. I finished my set and took out my earbuds to see what she wanted.
"Are you using this?" she asked.
"Uh, no. Go ahead"
"So those aren't yours?"
I look and there was a pair of reading glasses on the treadmill. Maybe she thought I was marking my territory.
So I say "nope, didn't even see them until you pointed them out"
She walks over, picks them up, shakes her head and says "Oh...these are mine. I left them here yesterday."4 -
This really has nothing to with working out accept it is involving protein farts. I was in the grocery store aout 3 places back in line and I just couldn't hold it anymore. So I let a cloud of death loose. I knew that I had been particularly toxic that day but I had no idea that I could manufacture such a thing. The cashier starts picking up packages of meat and smelling them then she yells over to the next line "Check the meat I can smell rotten meat." I believe looking back that was the first time in our marriage that my wife told me that she hated me.
