Whoops!

Several years ago, I had just started a new career as the Manager at my local Anytime Fitness. I was doing legs early one Morning and was loving the vibe and getting in some solid leg extensions. I had used this machine many times before without issue, but this Morning fate had other plans for me.

I had finished my last set and was getting off the machine but didn’t realize that my shoelace had become caught on one of the knobs. I went to step away and came crashing down on my hands and knees, I was caught lol. Without realizing why this had happened I got up and did the same thing again. It was at this point I unhooked my shoelace, looked around to see if anyone had seen it, and walked away (after wiping the machine down of course)

I never made that mistake again and have successfully dismounted the machine safely ever since. Even those of us working in the Fitness Industry have the occasional whoops moment.
