Today I did my first spin class - I did 2/3s of it with no pedals on my bike. Yep. I just thought they were funny little pedals, totally missed the box of attachments in the corner.
I nearly came off my bike and the girl next to me (who had helped me with my handle bars earlier) realized and jumped off her bike, the instructor came over to see what all the commotion was, it was a whole thing.
I got my pedals finished the class, pink cheeked from more than just exercise.
Now make me feel better - what's the dumbest/funniest/most embarrassing thing you've done in the gym?

I don't go to a gym, but this reminded me that in elementary school gym class I once "scored" a goal for the opposite team playing road hockey!
oops! I didn't even notice at first, 'cause I hate hockey and clearly wasn't paying attention to what I was supposed to be doing.
I was proud that I scored! My "team" was staring at me like I was an idiot...teehee!4 -
I tried to throw a 10kg medicine ball up at a beam but underestimated how much effort it would take. It missed the beam and sailed into the weights area with me running after it. I don't think anyone saw. I thought it was hilarious.6

Lol I am sure I've had more embarrassing stuff happened before but just this week, I was warming up my shoulders with resistance band for the OHP's. Of course, I don't clasp my hand, so it hits me right in the face. I was giggling for a good 10 ensuing minutes, after the shock passed. People around either didn't see it, or they were the coolest people alive to not laugh at that haha.
I think it was karma for my giggling at the girl that fell on her butt doing weightless squats.6 -
Leaning back ready to do dumbell presses at my highest weight, 70 pounds each. I lean back all tight and fart so loud the gym just stops. Good times.4

lol I dunno why I thought of the way they've turned like "The Voice" style:

Last night when I got done I went out to my car and took my shirt (soaking with sweat) off so I'd dry a little while I was driving so I could put on my not gym shirt and my wife wouldn't be like 'eww you're all sweaty' I threw it in the trunk right as this guy and his kid come and sit in the car next to mine, the guy gives me a look and I kinda just quick get in my car. I go to start it and I can't find my keys. So I frantically search and tear through my car and look high and low and realize.... I put my keys in the trunk. So I wait a couple more minutes to go get them because this guy is still parked next to me and now I'm an idiot who not only took his shirt off after the gym who definitely does not have the bod for that stuff, but also threw his keys in is trunk. I got em and the guy gave me the "you're real dumb, not a good role model for the kid that's with me" look and I sped off to go home2

Take that sweaty shirt off with pride - you earned it!4 -
One time my bro racked a 25 lbs weight as a 20 lbs weight. You should of seen bros face when he realized what he did.1

My gym has several levels, the sub-level/basement has large rooms for classes, the main level has a cardio machine area, half a dozen basketball courts, and a soccer field, and the upper level has a large weight area and a track. The track overlooks the basketball courts and soccer field. So I was walking the track to warm up for my run and managed to drop my ipod. It bounced on the track a couple times and then fell off the track, briefly balanced on some netting (that keeps soccer balls from hitting people on the track), and into the soccer field below... during a soccer game. Luckily I got it back and it was fine, but I had to do a walk of shame down to the soccer field and ask a kid to get it for me.3

Also yesterday, I was doing a standing dumbbell row, and I like the dumbbells to be flat against each other so it's more like a bar, and when doing that I pinched my *kitten* and made a minor yelp and looked up to make sure no one noticed and this guy was looking me dead in the eye2

I was changing 45lb plates on a bar when this guy walks up to make small talk. After about 30 seconds, he stops talking mid-sentence and passes out cold. He fell straight back and smacked his head of the concrete floor.
I was still able to get 5 reps at 245 lb. & then stepped it down to 225 for the last couple of sets.
note: When someone passes out, their ability to effectively spot is greatly diminished.

I teach water fitness classes...One day I was teaching right after a busy day at the "day job" where I had gotten too busy to fit in lunch (or breakfast for that matter)...I am told that I was in the middle of recumbent pull ups, made a "squeeky" sound and just sort of floated away! I have not made this mistake again & learned the hard way to keep portable high protein snacks in my car so I can, at the very least, snarf down on my trip in!1

Deadlifts. Ripped a LOOOOUUUUUUUD fart.
Saw a guy look over, so I just shrugged. Whatchagonnado?3 -
Doing box jump number 50 or so and missing it completely on the next jump. And missing the high bar on a burpee pull up jump.0

I fell off an exercise ball while getting ready to work my glutes, looked like no one saw so I got up super quick and tried again.... then fell off again and definitely people saw me that time3

Free weights whilst doing my squats, was going really well, finished all my sets. Then could not get the barbell off the back of my shoulders as my arms were just not up to lifting it back off, so had to bend down and lean to one side to support the barbell on the floor whilst I freed my poor neck, much to the amusement of my fellow gym goers.1

You're not supposed to lift it off your back. You're supposed to walk back into the rack/cage - where the pins are located slightly below where the bar rests on your back/traps - and simply lower it until you are no longer supporting the bar.0 -
When I was trying to incline bench more than I should without a spotter and couldn't get it up and so I had to tip the bar over in order to get out, there were several guys watching but didn't do a thing. That was when I was 19 years old.0

Well..... I was in the free weights section, with no racks.... If I had the option of a rack, I would have used it instead of looking like a pillock.... Needless to say, I squat upstairs now, where there is a rack.1 -

I was trying to stand up a 200lb clean for a PR and I was straining so hard to stand up that I ummmm lost a little bit of bladder control...drip drip drip....but I stood it up! Lesson learned, always pee before max attempt cleans. Oops.4

PRd 650 deadlift and nearly crapped my shorts. Fortunately I only let out a thunderous fart all while nearly half the gym was watching1

Dropped a 45lb plate on my toes, let out a swear word, shuffled my feet a few times, pain was gone, finished my sets @ leg press & finished leg workout (no pain until after the workout). Toes were bleeding & bruised, eventually toenails fell off a few weeks later
Seen plenty of big college guys run to the bathroom to take a **** in between sets of squats; at least they got some cardio/HIIT out of it0 -
