    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.

    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!
