That’s one way to get muscular in the gym! Woman ends up half naked when her leggings are taken off after tripping on treadmill
- Alyssa Konkel was running on the treadmill when she tripped over her shoelace
- She laughed off the misstep after her leggings were ripped off in a viral video
This is the unfortunate moment when a woman’s leggings got pulled down after she tripped over her shoelace on a treadmill at the gym.
Alyssa Konkel, from Illinois, was at the gym on May 24 when she decided to start running.
Viral footage shared online shows the 26-year-old – dressed in a pink top and black leggings – suddenly tripping over the treadmill, desperately trying to cling to the handles.
As the machine continues to roll, it catches her leggings and pulls them down to her ankles, exposing her bottom before Alyssa flies off the back.
Alyssa said, “I was so embarrassed. I had to leave immediately. I was just running in the gym and my pants got sucked off!’
Alyssa showed the severity of her injuries after the fall, with bruises on her face and cuts on her knees

Alyssa said, “The treadmill was on [level] ten so it went pretty fast.
“It wasn’t until I watched the video again that I saw my shoelace was loose and I tripped and fell.
“I jumped up, like a boss, right away to pull up my pants because my butt was exposed and there I let go.
“I hurt myself my face, lip, knees and shins are skinned.
“Fortunately it wasn’t too busy in the gym, but the lady running back came up to me and asked if everything was okay.”
Alyssa shared the video on her social media channels.
The full video shows her running fast on the treadmill for several seconds.
She seems to stumble and lose her balance for a split second.
Despite her best efforts to balance herself, with her arms outstretched, she struggles to stand upright and reaches out to grasp the handles of the machine.
The bottoms of Alyssa’s legs make contact with the end of the machine, which she is unable to stop at the moment.
Her workout clothes are suddenly pulled down by the rollers on the machine, leaving her helpless as her arms still desperately cling to the handles.
Finally she lets go and appears to land on the moving treadmill with her arms at her sides.
Alyssa, defeated, is thrown off by the machine and collects herself on the ground.
She said, “This also happened when I was ten years old and had my chin skinned, so now I’m really afraid of treadmills.”
