Most people leave the gym with aching muscles or sweat-soaked clothes. Occasionally, though, some hightail it out of there with blushed faces after a humiliating turn of events. Hey, stuff happens! So, all in good fun, we asked our Facebook and Twitter followers to share their most embarrassing #funnygymstory. As you can see, no one is immune to cringe-worthy (and often hilarious) moments!
The False Alarm
"Working out on the elliptical while very, very pregnant. My water bottle had cracked, started dripping, and spilled down me and on the ground. Others around noticed the liquid, assumed my water broke, and started to jump into action. I caused quite the scene and was embarrassed to explain my water bottle was broken but my water had not broken." –Kathy Hannen, on Facebook
The H2O Hijacker
"@WomensHealthMag after I finished running on the treadmill I reached over and drank someone else's water bottle #funnygymstory" –@nastyyyassia
The Crash and Burn
"One day while rushing into my barre class, I completely failed to see the glass wall and walked right into it at full speed. Knocked me right on my butt and left a big welt on my head. The whole class saw everything and was cracking up, and I can't blame them. I did manage to make my way to the actual door and then work out for an hour, but now every time I go in I think to myself, 'Don't walk into the wall, don't walk into the wall.'" –Hope McGeathy, on Facebook
The Class Cut
"@WomensHealthMag I took a yoga class in college & farted one day. I was embarrassed & never went back, thus failing the class #funnygymstory" –@MoTayyy
The Stage-Five Clinger
"I was on the elliptical machine and about 5 min in, a dryer sheet flew out the bottom of my yoga pants! Lol" –Melissa Rivera, on Facebook
The Spaghetti Slip
"@WomensHealthMag Went to jump on the BOSU & I missed & fell like a wet noodle. #funnygymstory" –@stickelcpa
The Surprise Debriefing
"I threw my towel out ready for the floor component of the class and out flew a pair of undies (definitely were not gorgeous lacy numbers, just the regular mummy knickers!!)." –Priscilla Lister, on Facebook
For some of these scenarios, there are a few tricks of the trade—learn experts' advice for what to do when you fart during yoga class and how not to be the awkward new kid in your fitness class. Other situations are totally out of your control—no one expects her water bottle to burst mid-workout. So if you find yourself in the middle of an embarrassing gym moment and you're not sure what to do next, just laugh it off, hold your head up high, and continue sweating!
