A woman's workout took a turn when she had to use her smartwatch to call 911 after she became stuck upside down on an inversion table at the gym, as seen in several viral TikTok videos.

TikTok user @cfaulds20 posted the first video on her account where it amassed more than 7 million views as it showed a police officer pulling her upright to free her from the machine.

"When you have to call 9-1-1 because you get stuck on the inversion thing at 3am at the gym...," read the text over the video.

According to Healthline, inversion tables provide relief to those who experience back pain.

"Based on the concept of distraction traction, inversion therapy uses your body weight and gravity to help pull the spinal bones apart, allowing for increased space and movement between the vertebrae, which may decrease pain caused by pressure on the nerves," the article published by Healthline said.

The table can decrease pain for those who experience back pain, it can improve flexibility and can allow muscles to relax.

In her video, @cfaulds20 is seen completely upside down before a police officer comes into the frame.

"My ankles are burning," she said as she was brought to an upright position. "Just the easiest rescue ever."

Once she was flipped upright, @cfaulds20 let out a relieved sigh before the video ended.

TikTok user @cfaulds20 posted several other videos that detailed her experience.

One showed the moment that she realized she was stuck. Though she tried to crunch upward, the table did not budge and she remained upside down.

@cfaulds20 called out to her gym partner for help, to no avail.

Another video showed the call she made asking for help using her smartwatch.

Speaking with the operator, @cfaulds20 explained that she was stuck on the inversion table and was unable to get anyone's attention.

"This is so embarrassing," she said as she laughed. "I know as soon as they get here that someone's going to walk in the back room and is going to be able to help me out."

In a third follow-up video, @cfaulds20 said her head felt better since she was helped out of the machine and experienced a mild "fuzziness."

She said she initially set up her phone to record a video that showed her talking about how much she enjoys the inversion table while using it.

@cfaulds20 said she was working out with a fellow gym-goer, but they were in different rooms and he did not hear her calling out for help. She also said she could not call his phone because she did not have his number.

"There's also no staff at three in the morning because we scan in with keycards," @cfaulds20 said.

In the comments section, she said that she was stuck for about 12 minutes, and while she can look back on the incident and laugh about what happened, it was a scary moment to have gone through.

The incident resonated with viewers who took to the comments section of the videos to share their thoughts.

"You think by now the companies that make these would have installed like an emergency release with these things," a viewer wrote.

"Your ability to stay cool under pressure is exceptional," another TikTok user wrote. "Wow. I'm glad you're OK."

"You did so well to stay so calm," one viewer wrote. "My anxiety would have sent me into full on panic. You handled that ordeal so well. I'm glad [you're] feeling OK."

Newsweek reached out to @cfaulds20 for further comment.
