    Well, my embarrassing moment was TONIGHT! I didn't have time to do my elliptical this morning so I decided that I would do it after work at my apartment complex. Work was hell and I didn't get a chance to change to my workout clothes, but nobody ever comes into the gym anyway (I have NEVER seen anyone in our gym in over a month!) so, I didn't think it would be a big deal. Sooo... I get on the elliptical in my Ugg boots, black tights and dress then ONE minute into my workout a girl comes in and says, "Oh! You look cute!"... FML!!

    Thanks everyone for your stories!
    Here's mine: Once I was on my back stretching out at the end of aerobics class and the instructor said to roll up by pulling one knee to chest and rocking forward. I usually rolled to my side instead since my abs were too weak to roll up the other way. Well, this time I thought perhaps I was getting stronger and should give it a go. The pressure of my knee on my belly caused me to blast out a super loud fart as I rolled up that echoed in the studio like a cannon had been fired. The whole class and instructor went silent and just stared at me for what felt like hours. I was so embarrassed I never went back.

    Well, this happened when I was like 12 and randomly at the gym with my dad... I was running on the treadmill and closed my eyes because I wanted to pretend I was running in nature. Sure enough, I fell right off within 5 seconds and they told me I was too young to be on the equipment. LOL

    lol I did something similar to this a few months ago... lmao.. id never used a treadmill before... I've since learnt not to close your eyes on a treadmill unless your holding on hahaha..
    thankfully I didn't actually fall just felt myself going backwards and jumped off
    there was only 2 other people in the gym at the time and i don't think they noticed hahah.. it was still embarrassing tho I'm sure the cameras saw me lol

    Got crushed by the leg press machine while I was trying to escape a guy's fart that was doing squats next to me.
    I also slipped in the steam room and fell on a naked dude on my way out, felt so bad and disgusted at the same time.

    Sadly my gym is quite close to my work so you usually see all the colleagues butt naked in the sauna and steam room, can only imagine the horror if I would have fell on my boss instead of a random dude.

    lmao! You must have serious time logged in the gym for the probability of both of those things to have happened!

    I was on a weight machine where you have to lock in a bar right above your knees. I did my 10 or so reps and then could unlock the bar. One guy walked past me and I asked in a squeaky voice for help, he didn't hear me so I kind of begin to panic. Then another guy comes by and helps me out. I was mortified and really was all the machines fault!! LOL

    My parents bought a family gym membership when I was like 12. My friend and I used to go and eff around on the equipment "working out". One day - I was on the treadmill (small town gym, very little space in the whole thing - old, old, old equipment) and my friend got on the one next to me. She couldn't get it going and I stepped to the side of mine without turning it down - I got hers started and forgot mine was on. So I stepped on the running belt and realized what was happening and somehow grabbed on to the bars and tried to hit the speed button down - now I'm holding on for dear life, knees dragging on the belt, trying to turn the damn thing down - and my friend Amy just sat there laughing at me - not at all helping.

    I ended up just letting go - and flying into the wall behind me. My knees were black from the belt and bleeding. She was laughing so hard she had tears running down her face and was drawing attention to me piled up in a corner from all the boys in the weight lifting room. They came to the door to see what was up and I just got up and limped to the changing room pretending everything was a-ok.

    She called me tread for about 10 years.

    - getting on a machine and getting off a minute later. even though it's probably not true, i feel like everybody is judging me

    O I hate this! I have suffered through 10 minutes on a machine feeling like a might die to try and avoid looking like I can’t handle it.

    Speaking of threads...I was on an old school stair climber and since it was winter I had sweat pants on (just undies undernneath). Apparently the sweatpants had some loose threads at the bottom that got tangled in the workings of the machine. I didn't notice as I was stepping away that each step I took on my left foot allowed the machine to "eat" my pants.
    By the time I realized, my pants were at mid-butt cheek. Oh, and since I was "just going to the gym" I did not have my nicest undergarments on. : /

    Ha Ha I am totally terrified of doing this with my trainer. Especially when he is stretching me after my workouts!!!!

    The trainer wanted me to show the class how to do the high kick, I did it so well I pulled my other leg right from under me and landed on my bum.
    Luckily we all laughed it off.
    :laugh:

    Bench pressing and couldn't bring the weight off my chest. Yelling for help and it took like forever for someone to come and help. He lifted off the weight with one hand like it was a paper weight.
    You can either:
    1. tilt the bar to one side and dump the plates
    2. drag the bar down your torso and thighs to dump the bar on the ground

    This was mine 25 years ago when I was serious about lifting. Got stuck under a bench of 160. Collars were on (the gym was CRAZY about collars) and my boobs prevented really rolling the bar down my body. Never again would I lift without a spotter even below max...

    Worst part? I was already and outcast because I lifted with "the guys" and the weight room shared space with the cardio room. So all of the 1989/90/91 bunnies got a good laugh while I laid there waiting for someone to come help me...

    Discovering my swimsuit was dry rotted, (lost all elasticity) as I began swimming laps, things were shifting and I was beginning to fall out. I grabbed my hairtie and had my husband pull as much of the straps together so I could do a few more laps.
    - New swimsuit the next day!
    And I haven't seem the people I swam next to since.. what are you going to do? LOL

    Not in the gym, but high school. It was a nice day out and one of my non-gym classes was actually taught by the gym teacher. Well, naturally he's a guy and decided to be nice, so we went outside and were playing games... that involved running... without being changed for gym... I was running toward the rest of the class and both breasts popped out of my bra. At least it wasn't my shirt too, but it was awful. Luckily I don't think anyone noticed, at least no one commented, but I was mortified. Ug.

    a few weeks ago after my workout i accidentally ended up in the gents changing room instead of the ladies. i have no idea what i was thinking. the ladies changing room is on the 3rd floor and the gents on the 2nd but the route to get to both from the lift is identical apart from a big old sign on the door which i didnt notice lol. i must have had alot on my mind that day as i didn't even realise where i was until i saw a few half naked men in front of me. i swiftly made a u-turn and head through the door. i don't think i have ever been so embarrassed.

    I was in the middle of a Zumba class, the teacher had us doing these pulsing squats, and I did NOT have the right pants on for it...

    Thankfully I was in the back row but my pants split RIGHT up the buttcrack and I didn't have the most modest underwear on... thankfully it was a class of all women :blushing:

    Totally farted in yoga class. Not just a little, polite *poot* but a long, juicy fart with teeth. Ok and it STUNK like it had just rolled right past a turd. It was awful. I was on a juice cleanse and sometimes you don't have control and your farts just can't be trusted. I heard someone trying to suppress their giggles, another person said "gross" under their breath. Mortified and frozen in place, I didn't how to damage control this one. I finished class as best I could and then as soon as they went into final relaxation I immediately got up, ran out of the studio and never went back. When I got home I discovered that yes, I had *kitten* myself a little.

    I am so sorry but this had me rolling and laughing so hard!! LMAO

    LOL Doing over head cable press overs and getting my pony tail stuck in the clasp and tangled while it was pulling my head up with it (60lbs pinned on there) and having to untangle it while holding it down. 2 times that's happened to me, one time it ripped the hair on my scalp right out! It was horrible, I have since learned to be more careful doing these.

    Running used to really activate my bowels and I had two occasions where this posed serious problems:

    1. Near the end of a morning run when I was only about half a mile from my house, I felt a BM coming, but I was on a running path nowhere near any places with bathrooms. It was partially wooded and mostly blocked the view from the houses across the street, however, and I really had no choice. I had to hide behind the biggest tree I could find and pray no one else ran by (it's a pretty popular trail) while I dropped trou. Fortunately, no one noticed.

    2. Once again, I found myself on a run when my bowels started demanding relief. I was in a neighborhood, but nowhere near close enough to my house or any shops, gas stations, or places with restrooms. BUT I noticed a house that was being renovated, and the construction crew had brought a port-a-potty with them. I asked one of the guys working out front if I could use it, but I didn't have time to wait for his response. When I came out, they were all laughing, and I ran really fast til I turned off that street!

    Living on a ship my treadmill was 300 feet from my rack (bed). I woke up early before my watch to get my run in. The ship was mostly dark. Part way into my run people were walking around turning on the lights for the normal workday to start. At that time i realized i was just wearing my underamour underwear and no shorts. I asked the girl to turn the lights off so i could finish in peace. She did, i finished my run and then had to tactically manage to get pass the mess line during breakfast. No easy feat but it was done at a dead sprint. A few people noticed but worse things happened on that ship.

    I sweated so much during cardio-kickbox class the girl next to me slipped and fell. :embarassed:

    OMG I thought I was the only one! This used to happen on a regular basis in kickboxing class at the Y. That little workout room turned into a veritable (dangerous) sauna!
