Most Embarrassing Gym Moment...

About two years ago the hospital where I work had an Employee Fitness program. I must state that I am a civillian working on a military base. You had to go get fitness testing at the beginning of the program.

I couldn't do most of the exercises and almost passed out after doing the "steps". Then a couple of the Trainers ran over to me and yelled "ON THE FLOOR - DON'T GET UP UNTIL i TELL YOU". I wanted to cry, but didn't so I could maintain some type of dignity.

The exercises we were to do were the same ones the soldiers have to do...THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY SAY THAT?

Needless to say, I dropped out of the program.

Now, I'm going to the YMCA where I can work at my own pace

bump. this is too funny!

i tripped and fell on a treadmill, sprinting, and hit it, and it immediately shot me off the back into the wall.....................

Yup. That happened to me the other day. As if once wasn't bad enough, after I got back on, but before I had built up more dignity, I did it again!
I was mortified.
I bowed my head in shame and decided perhaps jogging was too much of a task for me that day and did some nice safe abs.
xD

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.

LOL. I think I was there that day. I witnessed a very similar event and felt so bad for the girl whose legs were bleeding from falling on that treadmill. Her friend thought it was hilarious.

As one of the heaviest guys on my football team in high school, ( about 230 @ 5' 7 1/2"), I felt the need to prove that I was more than just a short, fat lineman. One day doing our plyometric box jumps, I tried a height a little out of my range. I ALMOST made it, but my foot caught the front edge of the box, my knees slammed the top, and I tumbled over it...in front of half the team.
There was also getting pinned in the 1st round during my 1st wrestling match. My girlfriend was there. Tough thing about the heavy weight class...at the time the weight range was 190-275. I was 232 and my opponent barely made weight.

Okay, this wasn't in a gym, but...I was taking a break at work in SF and I only had a few minutes, so I jogged down to the corner for a muffin or something. As I was jogging back, I tripped on the cement where it was raised a little. I was running so fast and I flew forward so hard that I slid, like into home base, on my belly and the the tops of my thighs with my hands stretched forward and my knees bent all the way back to my butt. I slid for what felt like a really long time before I stopped. All the while I was sliding, traffic was completely stopped in a traffic jam next to me, so people were just sitting there watching me out of their car windows. I wasn't hurt, but completely humiliated.

Did I mention I was on a break at work? It was a brand-new office job and I really didn't know the peopel well yet. I walk back in from my ten minute break and my thighs are completely filthy from sliding down the sidewalk in downtown San Francisco. (a very clean place)
I was so embarrassed, I didn't say a thing. I just went and sat down. Nobody said a word. I always wondered what they thought happened.

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

:laugh:

Haha, those are some really funny moments there. I didn't have any embarrassing moments yet but I think my time is coming.

Bump LMAO

BUMP!!!

I did a whole spin class not realizing I had ripped a giant hole in the back seam of my pants.

I've spilled my entire canteen of water at least twice while watching a boy at the gym I like, haha

cleaning up and trying to keep your heart rate up isn't exactly fun, funny yes, fun, no! haha

I go to the gym around 5:00 am and one morning when I sat down on the ab machine I looked down and realized i had on two different shoes. They are the exact same shoe because I own two pair in different colors. One was Purple and one was Balck. I had on workout capris so I wasn't able to hide them. I was really emberassed and thought about leaving but then I just said screw it who cares and finished my workout,. Now I look at my shoes carefully when I leave in the morning, Lol...

i tripped and fell on a treadmill, sprinting, and hit it, and it immediately shot me off the back into the wall.....................

That happened to me, except I tried to hold on to the treadmill for some reason, and the belt pulled down my (too-lose-at-that-point) pants. So falling on the treadmill and losing my pants in front of a crowded cardio room (40 machines or more, almost all occupied) is my most embarrassing gym moment.

Beat that.

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.

Lock the thread! Could there be anything more awesome than the yoga shart?

This has got to be the winner!
