    Doing the spinal twist thing the wrong way, and my 2nd Body Balance class and the instructor is gesturing to turn the other way and I was sooo thick and not getting it. Eventually I was like "WHAT ?, OH ! THAT WAY !".

    Oh I have several lol....

    One time I was on an arc trainer and I had been on it for about an hour and a half. I was using the arm things and I bent my head down to pick up my phone or something and hit my head on the arm movers (I don't know what you call them). Needless to say, I hit my head so hard I started bleeding. Luckily my boyfriend at the time worked there and was working. Unfortunately for me he just laughed.

    I have this navy blue dry fit shirt that I wear sometimes when I work out. Well I've noticed that I've worn it inside out several times lol.

    Tripped on the treadmill several times.

    On the squat machine and right in the middle of my set, I let out a loud, reverberating fart.
    When I turned to see if anybody noticed, everybody was glaring right at me - some laughing, some scowling and others just owl eyed.

    I hate doing that, especially in front of ladies.

    i accidentally walked into the gents changing room instead of the ladies and didnt even realise where i was until i was greeted by naked men. luckily their backs were turned to me so i swifty made a u-turn and hoped they didnt notice me.

    also recently the girl next to me on the treadmill made a wrong step and slipped off backway. i am not sure who was more embarrassed, her for having the accident or me for bursting out laughing and almost fell off my machine as a result. she was laughing at herself too so i guess i couldnt really help but laugh

    Whilst pregnant I maintained my fitness by road walking for 2 hours, and doing weights at the gym for 30 mins, 4-5 days per week....

    when I was about I was 7-8 months pregnant I laid down on a flat bench to do dumbell chest press... That all went well, until I tried sitting up. As my baby belly was quite 'rounded' I found it hard to sit straight up.... I leaned a little to the side whilst 'clambering' off the bench..
    but managed to roll off the bench, and landed on my knees and hands, still holding the dumbells!
    The gym was quite busy, and a number of people rushed over to me and asked if i was okay.... I was physically fine.... just a little embarassed!! :ohwell:

    After that day, I didnt bother using a flat bench until the baby was born!!!! :laugh:

    I was trying to keep a low profile in the back of the room during a body pump class, I was a beginner. I had situated myself in front of the fan as it was the only place left and halfway through the class ripped a pretty serious SBD...so much for the low profile!

    That's funny. :laugh:
    Hope no one gagged

    It was after I had lost a few pounds and I hadn't realized how big my yoga pants had gotten on me. I sped up to do a sprint interval on the treadmill, had my ipod hooked up to the waist of them and down they went! I was going too fast to do much so I was awkwardly fumbling to stop the machine while grabbing at my pants as to not completely expose my bum. It didn't work well. Chick next to me got quite the peep show :laugh:

    I've done this! I don't own any remotely flattering underwear either, so the whole row behind me got to see my sexay black granny pants.

    So embarrassing. Funny!!

    I'm guilty of that too. I think everyone in the gym should be required to have their head phones on at all times. :smile:

    Accidently belting out part of "Copacabana" before I realized that I was singing out loud :blushing:

    I'm not sure what was worse..the fact that I'm basically tone-deaf, or the fact that some people now know I have Barry Manilow on my iPod :noway:

    Anyone else recalling the Seinfeld episode where Elaine fell on Teri Hatcher in the steam room?

    Okay here is one that almost kept me from returning to the gym. Spin class and the instructor tells us to go to the standing position. After about 20 seconds one of the pedals breaks off. It sheared right off at the bolt. Anyone who has done spinning knows that the pedals don't just stop on a dime. Luckily I didn't fall and was able to quick sit down while one leg is trying to slow the wheel down and the other leg is trying to avoid getting sliced open by the sharp metal sticking out of the crank arm. It was pretty demoralizing seeing how the reason I was there was to lose weight and I felt like a total fat *kitten* for breaking the bike.

    My most embarrassing gym moment was in a group toning class at the gym, using those stretchy resistance bands. We were doing some exercise with our arms behind our heads, and my ponytail got tangled up in the resistance band. I couldn't get it out and was dancing and prancing around, wiggling my arms and trying not to pull my hair. A woman behind me finally took pity on me and helped untangle my hair. I was embarrassed but just went back to the exercises and pretended nothing untoward had happened!

    I don't wear underwear when I workout so I have to be sure that my pants are super tight fitting. I wore a size too big yoga pants to cycling on Monday and was constantly checking to be sure I wasn't mooning the hottie behind me.
