    One morning at my Jazzercise class we were doing three count chasse's with a one count squat at the end, well during one of the reps I didn't pick my foot up enough because the rubber on my shoe caught with the rubber floor and I fell over sideways really hard. It was a packed class of about 30-35 people and I am pretty sure most saw. It was pretty awful. I just stood up and kept going and tried to pretend like nothing happened.

    When I first started going back to the gym over a year ago I tried to use a crunch machine. I was so big I didn't fit in it. Worst of all I wasn't able to get out of it. Of course the only person that was around to help me out was this cute little college girl that MIGHT have weighed 120. Needless to say I changed what time of day I went to the gym for a while!

    The good thing is that I can talk about it now. The smaller me uses that machine all the time :)

    Loose pants were caught on the exercise bike, which I had situated too high for me. I couldn't get off the bike! Luckily my husband was at the gym with me. I called his name out asking for help (unusual for me at the gym) and he rescued me.

    this is a story i heard from my parter when he was working out at the gym
    he was running on the treadmill at the time

    In front of the full length mirror there was a typical steroetype "douchey gym junkie"... im sure you all know the type. Lifting squats, biggest weight he could carry, trying to be all impressive and muscly (basically the reason i dont go to the gym).
    So anyway he was there lifting heavy weight with the "grunts and strains" that you could clearly hear ALL the way from across the gym. Behind him was one of "those" girls. Silly women who scout gyms looking for men to pick up, face full of make up, barely wearing any clothes, doing 1 pound bicep curls just behind him, tryign to catch his eye in the mirror.
    So basically he was tryign to impress her, she wanted him, he went down for a squat, letting a HUGE fart rip (which you could also hear on the other side of the gym), the girl looked at him with a disgusted look, put down her 1 pound weights and walked out of the gym with a little "uh" a hair flick and a stormy look on her face.
    He could not stop himself from chuclking alittle mainly due to politeness, he came home, told me, and burst out laughing. it was pretty funny.

    and im sorry if i offend anyone with my descriptions, i dont have anything against people like this, but its the easiest way to describe them

    one time i was using the (empty) aerobics room to do yoga, i was the only person in there, and some guy came in and pulled up a stationary bike literally 3 feet behind my yoga mat and started cycling. we may have made accidental eye contact when i was in downward facing dog. not exactly embarrassing but it was suuuuuper awkward.
    oh man this would be so uncomfortable. i'm sure you were thinking the whole time 'uh couldnt find a better spot ?'

    Yeah...so I found out my gym pants had a hole right in the middle of the crotch...right...there. Beautiful for the hip adductor and abductor machines...or squats.

    Thanks bf for letting me know now, after over a year with those pants.
  • Oh god! A few months back I was running on the treadmill at lets say 6 mph and i dropped my water bottle and I just blanked out and completely forgot that the treadmill was still going so I bent down to pick it up and it pushed me off of the treadmill and onto the floor and the water spilled all over me. Everyone stared at me awkwardly and I just burst out in laughter

    ditto. Except I dropped my ipod. I flew off the back. But NO ONE even looked at me, they all looked away, feeling pity. I'd of rather them all laughed at me.

    Before I started physical therapy for hip flexor issues, jogging on the treadmill was extremely painful. I was struggling to get through and focused on a rafter... And Almost fell off, in front of the windows and the entire gym.

    Aside from that? My trainer was really into cardio training. Let's just say that after the first session of that, I Kegel like None Other!!

    I'm waiting for someone to ask what Kegels are...LOL :)

    When I first tried Zumba...I tripped over my own feet and fell down in the middle of class. The next time I tried the class, I tripped someone else. Oops.:embarassed:

    I took up running instead...I fall less

    Hahahah not me. I was on a run with my then boyfriend and we were running on campus. Well that campus (undergrad) had brick sidewalks. Spencer and I got to a point where we took two different paths around a tree. Apparently I tripped on my shoelace and fell hard on the ground. I screamed at first, then cried, and then just laid there. Spencer didn't see me fall. He heard me scream and said that I was up one min and then down the next. We walked to the campus police and I asked for some bandaids (both knees bleeding) and she gave me a paper towel.

    Another time, I was walking to the pond that is down the street and it was at night. Well I cant see at night and tripped over someones driveway. I was in the middle of the road and a car came and had to swerve. I walked back to the house with two bloody, bruised, and swollen knees.

    I need to be more careful lol

    When I was twelve, I decided to see if I could run 10Mi/Hr, so I put the Tredmill up full blast and jumped on. Needless to say, I flew off and smacked my head into a pole. Lucky or me, My next door neighbor saw it happen, so not only did I hurt myself and look like a fool, but my mom found out too... (I actually ended up with scabs in the pattern of the Tredmill belt traction. It scarred for awhile.... Kinda cool, actually.)

    In terms of recent times, I have definitely been on the elliptical, lost my footing, and slipped, falling off mid-rotation.... Who does that?!

    Found this topic from a few months ago and want to save it to read later but here is mine....

    It was just me and a young guy in the gym. I had eaten some hot chili the night before and let out an SBD (silent but deadly) toot. There was nothing I could do and no one else to blame it on so I just finished up my workout and pretended like nothing ever happened.

    I wore a pair of light gray yoga pants to only realize after my workout that they were no longer light gray in certain parts because of how much I was sweating... yup that is embarrassing...
  • The one time I talked my dad into a cycling class. My dad used to be a semi-pro bike racer. He's won many races and fell off the bandwagon until I talked him back into the class. I grew up riding the trails and streets in my community, and I wasn't used to stationary bikes totally. So I was getting in the zone and doing some visualization when my dad yells "car back!". I turn around so fast to check if there really is a car coming on the second floor of my gym that I tip my bike over with me clipped in it. I was perfectly fine other than a bruised ego, the instructor was trying not to laugh and my dad was openly laughing his butt off along with some other people.
    I've also had the pleasure of punching myself in the eye during kickboxing. However, being the only person to ever "crash" a stationary...you can't really beat that!

    I was munching on raw carrots prior to my gym arrival. I stayed at the gym for quite some time using several machines and talking to NUMEROUS people. When I got in my car and caught a glimpse of myself in the vanity mirror I noticed I had 3 or 4 large pieces of carrot stuck in my teeth. WTF!?! How did I not feel them? Ugh.

    I too have had my ipod fall and fly right off the treadmill. I dont know how to stop it so I had to jump off then I had to figure out how to jump back on. no one said anything so I just did my thing.
  • A couple of months ago (while benching), I mentioned to the guy next to me about how attractive the girl in front of us looked and wondered if she was taken. The guy said yes.... she's his wife. He was not mad and was a good sport about it. Still, I felt like and idiot. Now everytime I see them (especially her), I feel embarrassed because I know he told her and she must think I'm a jerk.

    If I was the girl I would take that as a compliment.

    Ummm...this was a while ago...

    I was doing WW Fasttrack. Only 1000 calories. I was in a spin class and all of the sudden passed out. Fell off the bike and was out. I drank OJ and stopped doing the fasttrack thing.

    This isn't about me, or they gym, but my boyfriend had to do a fit test for a job. One of the test was to see how many situps he could do in like 1 minute or something. Anyway, in the middle of the situps he farted REALLY loud, lol. He stopped and couldn't help but laugh and the girl recording all his stuff just kinda smiled and said keep going. I just thought it was hilarious when he told me about it!
