On a heavy leg day, I let out the loudest fart doing deadlifts right next to a lady doing some stretching exercises. Another time I vomited doing heavy squats...too much preworkout I think.

    Better out than in, eh?
    I wasn't watching and I tripped over a piece of gym equipment, caught myself. hey it happens. If you're not going to look like a goofball every now and then, how you ever going to have any fun in life?

    Nothing too bad... yet! I was ducking under the bar to do squats and not paying attention and banged the hell out of my head on the bar..

    No one helped, I would have ran right over. I got a bar stuck on my chest before but I was lifting alone had to drop weights off one side then the other side.

    Embarrassing or sad... you decide.
    I was never comfortable in the gym, so sometimes I'd walk in and if there was a good amount of young fit dudes there, I'd walk out to avoid the embarrassment of working out besides them.

    I peed during deadlifts during competition...someone else had to clean the platform. I guess that's embarrassing, but I won "best female lifter," so I didn't care.

    Didn't happen to me...but I've seen 2 people fall on treadmills. That's super embarrassing; neither was hurt, so I averted my eyes quickly.

    Almost fell off the treadmill because I tried to grab my phone that fell on it.
    Farted on the treadmill, might not have been as silent as I thought (I was wearing earbuds).

    I've had "lifters leak" a few times. Had to add a bunch of fiber to my diet - it helped. Not really embarrassing, since nobody noticed and it was fully contained by my cheeks. Cleaned up in the bathroom - but they were close calls. Told my wife about it and she was mortified. I've got her lifting heavy now and she's all paranoid thinking that it's a normal thing to have happen. lol

    I dropped a dumbbell onto my gallon jug and it exploded everywhere. Peak hours too at 5pm. FML

    Too much weight squatting. Did three reps and my knee gave on the last one and I flipped over the rail of the squatting rack. Put me out for 6 months and now I don’t squat anymore! Lol
