For many, going to the gym is simply an opportunity to exercise. For me, it’s often turned out to be an opportunity to thoroughly embarrass myself in front of a room full of strangers.
However, it seems I’m not alone. When I asked around the office, everyone had a rather awkward and/or majorly embarrassing story to share, and they were all moments others could relate to.

Behold: the 12 cringe-worthy gym moments we’ll all probably suffer through one day.
1. Not knowing how to use the equipment, trying anyway… and getting caught out.
"I smacked my head into the bar above the lat pulldown on the weekend. Everyone saw - it even made a ringing noise! Pretty embarrassing." - Wendy
"I was working out on a machine which lifts your whole body, except I forgot you have to add resistance to the weights. It suddenly pulled me up off the ground and I got stuck. Because it was a 24-hour gym, I was stuck there for 40 minutes before someone else arrived. That was the last time I went" - Molly
2. Suffering from a serious wardrobe malfunction.
"I once did this really hard class. I was so exhausted I didn't notice that mid way through the class my gym top had moved to the side and my left breast (covered in a sports bra thankfully) was all the way out of my top." - Bianca (Post continues after gallery.)
Affordable fitness gear.
"I treated myself to a pretty funky pair of bright pink workout trousers. Only thing I didn't realise was when I bent over, they went completely see-through, showing off my also brightly patterned undies. Worst part is, I was doing squats right at the front of the workout area!" - Claire

I once saw a guy going to do some free squats. He was a massive guy with bulging muscles and is well known around the gym as the guy who grunts.. (we all know that guy) He was about to show off for the whole gym when he took the weight off of the rack and got ready to squat but what he forgot to do was add the clamps on the side of the weights. They quickly started falling off one by one causing the weight to throw this large man around. eventually causing him to fall to the ground (He was fine) and then acted like no one saw it. Too funny. Here's another story I read about that's funny. [url]http://prsuit.com/life-in-r...[/url]
