FROM falling off the treadmill to farting in yoga class, we’ve all got some mortifying (and utterly hilarious) tales from our time at the gym.

So we asked News.com.au readers to share their most embarrassing gym stories. Here are the best anecdotes:

Olga Starks: “I dropped in for an aerobics class straight after donating blood to a blood bank, only to pass out on the floor while dancing around the gym to the tune of the BeeGees classic Staying Alive.”

Vicki Gilmore: “I fell asleep during a body balance class and my friend had to wake me up when everyone was getting their bags.”

Lyn Crandon: “A PT was helping me with some stretches when she suddenly recoiled. I had stepped in dog poo on the way to the gym and it was all over her hand.”

Jenny Adams: “Was teaching a pump class and my gym pants split up the bum crack. I had nowhere to go, I had to stay teaching. There was also a mirror behind me on the stage.”

‘How embarrassing!’

Anna-Marie Gibbs: “Miscalculated box jumping and face planted and smacked myself in the head with a kettle bell.”

Ally Grant: “Farting very loudly doing the downward dog in a yoga class. The chick behind me looked like she wanted to stab me ... Oops.”

Chantelle Casotti: “I had the biggest crush on a man that I would occasionally see at the gym and fall off treadmills or trip over things when he was there. My training partner and I were about to do squats with a 15kg plate. I walked over and took the plate straight off the bar he was using to do chest presses with! Yes he was laying on the bench holding it! Will never forget the look on his face! He is now my boyfriend and that moment was when I caught his attention!”

Laura Smith: “The first time I took a pre-workout before the gym one night didn’t really work too well in my favour. After my workout I was overwhelmed with all this energy and thought a wall run up seemed like a great idea at the time. Little did I know the wall was hollow and I kicked a hole straight through the wall. I advised the gym and apologised and their advice was to tone it down on leg day, LOL.”

Nothing like embarrassing yourself in front of your hot personal trainer.

Debbie Willis: “Having to explain to a naked European women in the sauna (wearing only her sandals) that being naked in a mixed gender sauna was actually inappropriate in this particular gym. I was the customer service manager at the time. The Sandals really did me in.

Hannah Orr: “I sat on a machine the wrong way and was attempting to lift the foot bar when the hot guy I had been eyeing off in the mirror came over to inform me I was back to front. So embarrassing.”

Tony Harris: “Farting during heavy squats.”

Gillian Berriman: “My partner did the classic slip on the treadmill and went fully down with treadmill continuing on and forcing him into the foetal position at the end of it, in front of a packed gym.”

Jodie Levick: “Split my pants right down the crotch and realised after I had finished doing my groin stretches! Sorry to those I mortified! #gottalovethemlegdays”

Who hasn’t fallen off the treadmill at some point?

Željana Medoš: “My sister and I walked into the male change room one time. This was her fault she said she knew where we should go and I just followed her.”

Carolyn Maree Ferrando: “Wet my pants on a 150kg dead lift!!!”

Benita McKay: “In step class the instructor told me not to bother with the step — that’s how bad I was!”

Haedon Prictor: “Had a mate who didn't put the bar back up properly on the bench press. It rolled off and landed on his head. He woke up on the floor with everyone standing over looking down at him. Most of them pretty chicks which made it embarrassing.”

Jainash Prakash: “Was caught singing Katy Perry when bench pressing”

Margaret Dungan: “Having my trainer pick me up and do squats with me ... I’m nearly 74 years of age! Hilarious.”
