The 10 most embarrassing things that could happen at the gym

There's no doubt that hitting the gym has some amazing benefits. All of those endorphins pumping through  your system can make your days seem infinitely better. 

However, there can be moments when we just think it would have been better to stay at home. The gym is a hectic place with a lot going on and plenty of people moving about doing their thing.

Whether it's an unfortunate lack of co-ordination or a poorly located sweat patch, sometimes the gym can be the place where we experience the most mortifying incidents of our lives. For instance:

1. The classic execution mishap:

'I look exactly like the girl in YouTube video right now,' said no one, ever.

2. The slippery slope of the treadmill:

Attempting sprint intervals is really just setting yourself up for failure. Proceed with caution.

3. Trying to communicate with anyone you find mildly attractive mid-workout:

Yeah, so trying to flirt when you're at the bottom of a squat is probably not a great call.

4. When you forget your sports bra:

Might as well just go home then.

5. That 'hmm it's very chilly this evening' moment:

It happens. This is why 'squat proof' leggings are becoming kind of a thing apparently.

6. Armpit Neglect (or legs):

Winter is coming, make sure you don't forget a razor.

7. When your headphones are not on your side:

Great,so now everyone in the gym knows you listen to the Venga Boys to get pumped for cardio.

8. The traditional changing room snafu:

Sometimes the towels are small, sometimes people will just strut about sans towel. It can be hard to know where to avert your gaze.

9. The post-workout underwear issue:

"I definitely packed them this morning!" Soz, you clearly did not.

10. When you think you're getting the hang of this whole 'fitness' thing:

Oh, and of course, when you get busted taking a gym seflie. Morto
