what are your most embarassing gym moments? It doesnt have to be just the 1, it can be 2, 3 or 4 if you've had that many!

I need cheerin up, had bit of a crap day, so c'mon i wanna hear some funny ones!

here are mine -

1 - when i was high school, we had free gym lessons during out physical education lessons - my first time going into the gym we had an induction from the fitness trainer.. we all had to stand around him and answer questions about different machines. one of his questions were 'Does anyone know exactly what an elliptical is, and what is does?' dumbass here put my hand up and said 'yeah an elliptical is one of those handheld things you shave your legs with' :blushing: EVERYONE burst out laughing including my teacher and the fitness trainer!!! I was mortified - i dont think i have ever been soo bright red in the face in all my life!! (i was only 13 at the time!)

2 - in high school (again!) - me and my friends went to the gym, and the gym was full of people, one of my friends told me to go on a rowing machine, but dont strap in your feet on the black pedal things you rest your feet on. Anyway - i started rowing back and forth, back and forth, next minute i rowed backwards, came flying off the machine and my legs went up in the air and i damadge my back and had to get sent to hospital as i couldnt move!! it was soo embarasssing! all the lads saw me :blushing: but it wasnt soo good been stuck in hospital for few days!

well thats all my gym embarassing moments :laugh: when i go to the gym now a days, i always remember to strap my feet in at all times on teh rowing machine :bigsmile:

    This happens to me a lot. I use up all my energy on a machine and then my legs don't work when I try to get off of it and I trip.

    I'm always afraid of farting when I run or work out. I keep thinking...I hope all the noise masks it...but then I think..Oh No! I hope it doesn't smell!!!

    Im an extremely slow runner as it is and my trainer had me run through the cardio floor with a big bag of sand tied around my waist. Im sure I looked like I was in one of the worst slow motion videos ever.

    just let it fly, then make a disgusted face at the guy next to you. maybe quietly mutter the word "jerk..."

    Not a gym but a sport moment. I was getting my SCUBA License years ago and the class full of men (and then me) were at the bottom of the pool in a big circle. The Instructor went to the top of the pool to talk to somebody and left us down there in a circle. Someone from the other side swam directly to me and motioned for me to look down. Yep, I was flashing the WHOLE class! =o

    I went to use a static bike at gym a month or two ago. Got on it, started cycling, and nothing happened. Had a few tries, then went to get a staff member to have a look at it.

    The guy comes over, and has a look, says it's basically just in need of a brief rest, then turns to me, looks me up and down, and really nicely says 'Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong. You didn't break it.' Well up until that point, I didn't think I had. But clearly, whale as I am, he thought that there was an outside chance... :-D

    That is my method. Just pass the buck off on the guy next to you.

    I would have requested the trainer to play the "Six Million Dollar Man" sound.

    Every time I swim. I can only doggie paddle, so I feel like a huge dork whenever I swim!

    I went to a turbo kick class... basically like a tae bo class I've been told. Anyway, there were only like 10 small women in it...
    here I was, 190lbs and out of shape. I looked ridiculous, and every few minutes I felt awful because I was bent over in the back of the class and EVERYBODY could see me. Definitely not a good way to keep people motivated :/ I felt awful.

    Once in a dance class, I wore these new pants I'd been given for Christmas. At the end, I saw as I was by the mirror grabbing my stuff that my black thong showed right through. *blushes* bad class!!!

    I've stumbled and been fired off the back of a treadmill where I landed in an ungainly heap. Now THAT is embarassing!

    Back in the day, my parents got me a membership to a ladies only gym. I went for my first training session with my best friend. While waiting for my turn on a machine, I passed out. I still remember dreaming I was home, in bed, and wondering why some weird woman was shaking me and telling me to wake up. When I finally came to, I realized that I not only passed out at the gym, in front of everyone, I also peed my pants. Never went back to that gym after that.

    I was in a yoga classes and we were doing modified donkey kicks where you kick both legs up into the air at the same time and support your body weight on your hands... I'm thinking, this is easy, no worries... I get about 3 kicks in and my boobs popped right outta my sports bra and tank top.

    Needless to say I invested in a tighter sports bra... and a T-shirt.

    Whenever we had a fitness evaluation test in high school, I would disappear because we had to lift ourselves on one of those bars, and I could never do it.

    When ever we had to do a cartwheel, I would disappear, because I couldn't do those either.

    Oh did I mention I accidently peed on myself in 2nd grade during Ballet practice? I hid behind one of the decorative plants, but my year old sister called me out and that's when everybody noticed.. Shoot.

    I think the worst was when I was about 10. The whole class was laying out in a circle in the field, doing situps, our feet facing inward to the circle. On one 'up', I farted. I was MORTIFIED, and blamed it on the boy I had a crush on. Everyone believed that it was him. I felt awful.

    Last week, when learning the machines at Curves, I stood to get off of one of them, and caught the crotch of my pants on a piece of padding. Nearly went flying. I felt like such a doofus.

    Mine isn't all that embarrassing, but I was still a little red in the face. It actually was only on this past Tuesday, so...yeah.

    Anyway, so my fiance and I are at the gym. He's still on the treadmill but I want to switch to elliptical, so I go around to do my own thing. The gym was PACKED (which, since it's a two-story gym, should tell ya something!) and there was only one I could find that was open. It was right next to a really fit woman, probably in her early twenties, who was absolutely tearing it up! I got on the one next to her, and tried to do it, but this one was a bit weird in that it only went one way--backwards. To add to it, it was angled. A real thigh burner. Anyway, so I'm *trying* to do this, and I'm on for two minutes before the burning in my thighs gets unbearable. I looked over and she had been on for almost 30 minutes! I felt like a such a chump -sigh- I switched to an easier one that cleared out...waaaay across the room :blushing:

    Last Feb I had joined a challenge at my local gym with my sister in law and my mom. My sis in law and I were on the last challenge of the last day. We had to do suicide sprints across the gym. There was a class in session, so we were in back of the class and used our water bottles as the markers on the gym floor (had to run to the first free throw line and back, then to middle and back, then to other end free throw line and back, and finally to far wall and back as fast as possible).

    On my final pass, I figured I'd be slick (i.e. LAZY! lol) and squat down mid-run to grab my water bottle so I didn't have to walk all the way back to get it when I was done. Did I mention I am uncoordinated? Well, running full speed ahead, I *did* manage to squat down and actually grab the water bottle. However, the top part of my body failed to slow down in proportion to the slowing down of the bottom half of my body and then refused to catch up. So I ended up splatting on the gym floor and sliding. In my bright hot pink and white camo pants. Pretty sure the class facing the mirrors caught it all. :laugh:

    I can't believe i'm going to admit this! Years ago at the gym while on the treadmill I let out a silent deadly one....and when people started to notice i blamed it on the guy next to me and noone even suspected me. years later while having drinks with my gym gals I got drunk and admitted this to them they laughed SO HARD!

    I was doing jump rope at the gym one day as a part of our circuit. It's not a huge gym, but it's big enough since it's ONLY a circuit training gym, but anyway, I got too close to a pot plant against the back wall and took a few leaves off it while I was skipping.... :blushing: Needless to say that was the last time I ever did THAT! :grumble:

    LMAO omg those are funny!


    A couple days ago, I went to the gym as usual. This just happened to be the ONLY time I have ever ever ever worn a thong to work out in. Well I went to the locker room after about 30 minutes in the weight room and noticed a hole the size of a pencil eraser in the seat of my pants. nice... Then, same day, I caught myself talking to myself while I was just about done with C25K. Omg what a day.

    last year i was new to a gym and joined a circuit training class.

    well part of the circuit was to do a 3 min sprint/run. on a treadmill.

    the trainer wouldnt stop the treadmill between people in the circuit since it takes too long to ramp up the speed when the next person got on so we were supposed to jump onto the treadmill and i guess go go go. most people (including the 70 year old grannies and various overweight middle aged men) could handle it no problem, but me and my big ego didn't ask to have it slowed down and on i went and off i flew! so embarrassing!!
