Embarrassing moments happen to the best of us. I remember when I snatched a training bar onto my forehead while teaching someone how to snatch for the first time.

That sort of thing sticks with you whether it happened a few weeks ago or a few years ago, and we've all got some incredibly embarrassing stories of our time in the gym.

I asked Reddit's CrossFit community to share their most embarrassing moments in the gym, and they definitely delivered with stories ranging from pinched weiners to peeing themselves during double unders.

Farts are always funny.

We were testing 1RM cleans so everyone was crowded around 1 platform cheering everyone on. I farted really loud when catching a clean.

"This is it, this is how it all ends"

Doing toes to bar, getting tired. Went for rep 9,000,000, concentrating on my tired abs, totally forgot to think about holding on to the bar.

My toes got to just above the level of my hips when my hand just went "Thanks bro, we're out." About halfway to the ground my brain said "Well, this is our life now, falling."

I hit the ground flat on my back. Some weird noises that were supposed to be "I'm fine" but were really GASPWHEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEEEE came out of me.

I was pretty new at the time and it's still mentioned to this day.

I'm not sure this is how pull overs are supposed to be done.

We were doing gymnastics, and practicing pull overs.

Well like a dolt I got stuck halfway through my pullover right on my tip. I groaned "my weiner" and hung there on my hips for like 30 seconds upside-down while someone pushed my face to get me through the rest of the pullover. 10/10 would not do again.

I've seen this in so many movies

I was doing some H.S.P.U. and when I was falling to get up, my foot got caught in one of the rings hanging on the pull-up bar. I ended up hanging like a trapped animal until someone helped me.

But did you make the lift?

The first time I caught myself on the nose snatching and bled all over the place

Another pinched weiner :(

Was putting away a 45 lb plate onto the weight stack, and using good mechanics, was carrying the plate close to my body, arms extended, about pelvis height.

When I went to put the weight down, the end of my penis, which was protruding slightly (I go commando) got pinched between two 45 plates. I instantly recoiled and fell to the floor; fortunately just the tip was damaged. I never thought the first time I bled in crossfit it would be my genitals. Needless to say my weight racking technique has changed greatly.

Just let it go at that point

Six or seven months pregnant, doing double unders in a wod. I pee myself a little because the baby is on the bladder. I think "whatever, it happens, no one can tell through the black lulu pants." And then, when I drop the rope to pick up the bar, I remember...I'm too fat for the lulu.
I'm wearing gray cotton/spandex pants from Athleta. And am also wearing a huge wet patch.

Still beat a couple people probably

Having to shit during a WOD. Apartment was nearby so during the run part of the workout I just ran to my apartment. I'm sure everyone's been there at one point.

Power output on point

I usually don't strap into the rower ( I have large feet, hate having to constantly adjust the straps. Easier to just not strap in). I also am a sweaty person. I was rowing back, bringing the handle to my chest, when my hands slipped off the handle. I basically catapulted myself backwards with full force. I flew off the rower. I was airborne for a second, horizontally. I'm also a large person (6'4, 240). It made a pretty concussive bang on the floor when I hit. It was very embarrassing.

"Oops, I tooted"

Dropped in to a box for open gym when I was out of town, did some lifting then got invited to do Annie with some of the members. I finished last, so everyone was standing around me cheering me on. I jumped down for my last set of situps and farted really loud. To make matters worse, I am a 6'3" 240lb bearded child, so I yelled "oops, I tooted." Kill me.

Collateral damage

I was a few weeks out of elements and while traveling for work I dropped into a box for the first time ever. WOD involved lateral jumps over a parallette bar. Was nervous because at this point I had never dropped in and I was also a newbie and still in the process of losing weight. Started the WOD a little shaky and was pleasantly surprised that I was doing ok. Feeling bolstered, I tried to pick up the pace, and ended up landing square on the parallette bar. My toes crunched underneath me, I felt flat onto my stomach and chest, and worst of all, the parallette bar kicked out from under me and shot into the guy behind me. I look back and there he was clutching his knee. So NOT only did I take myself out (breaking two toes in the process) but I took another WODmate out.
