I had the most embarrassing moment on the StairMaster at the gym – 10 people saw, strangers say it unlocked a new fear
A FITNESS fanatic has shared the mortifying moment when she suffered a mishap while doing cardio in a public gym.
Amie Fairweather (@amiefitnesss) was filming her workout on the StairMaster when something that we all fear happened to her.
She boasts over 747,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares advice for sculpting a toned physique and embracing a healthy lifestyle.
She took to the social media platform to show routine footage of her workout, while admitting that things didn’t go as planned.
Amie donned sheer gray shorts and a black sports bra with high-top sneakers for the intense cardio session on the StairMaster at her local gym.
The exercise enthusiast pulled her blonde hair into a high ponytail to ensure that it wouldn’t get in the way as she worked up a sweat.
“The most embarrassing thing happened,” she said.
“I was just running on the StairMaster and then this happened…”
Amie showed that she began to struggle to keep up with the pace while stepping on the exercise machine.
She unexpectedly fell off despite holding onto the handrails and panicked to hit the stop button.
“If you were one of the 10 people who saw me fall, no you didn’t,” Amie said.
She played the viral ‘Oh no, oh no, oh no, no no’ soundtrack in the background of the 18-second clip.
She captioned the post: “It sped up for no reason [skull].”
The post racked up over 695,000 likes as viewers took to the comment section admitting that falling during cardio is now their “biggest fear.”
One person wrote: “It happened to me yesterday!! But I was not running, I just pushed start.”
Another said: “Bro I literally be walking on it and it speeds up I get soo scared. I’m like yeah no we’re done here.”
A third chimed in: “The gym I go to has a regular three-step staircase, I accidentally fell in front of like nine people today.”
A fourth commented: “Noo because this actually happened to me too. The thing just sped the HELL up, the stop button wasn’t working either.”
Another added: “My dad sped it up because he said it was too slow and ended up falling down in front of a full gym LMAO.”
Amie has seemingly been left untraumatized by the mishap as she has since returned to the platform to document doing 45 minutes a day on the StairMaster for 15 days.
She has been pairing the cardio workout with resistance training to grow her glutes.
