Eating clean. Keeping up with workouts. Squeezing out that final rep.
These habits aren’t always easy to keep up with. They require discipline and sometimes a bit of bravery just to show up and get it done. And even though many of us go through these challenges, it can feel isolating when you’re in the middle of it.
But you’re far from alone. To prove it, we’ve put together a collection of funny and relatable posts from Official Gym Memes. Let them give you a dose of motivation—and a laugh—before your next gym session.

People here in my small mountain town drive three miles to get to the gym and work out for over an hour. They could just walk for an hour (those same three miles), get the same health benefit, and save the membership fees. Ah, but it's not about getting the workout, is it? It's about being SEEN, doing the workout.

whatever gets you motivated. I admit that I never workout as hard when I'm lifting weights alone at home. If you can mix walking, running, biking, etc. and lifting weights, that is by far better than doing any one thing.

I remember when I was really hard into lifting weights. If for some reason I missed a day it would bother me. I was addicted to lifting. Not anymore though, haven't touched a weight in almost 30 years.

That all changed when I reached 70 years old. I found that daily swimming was the only thing that reduced my arthritis pain. So I eagerly look forward to my daily workout.

i gave up. I went to a gym perhaps, 7 or 8 times in my live. I work hard enough during the day

The trick is finding something that doesn't feel like work when you're done with it. Tricky, because practically all working out is work, it's right on the tin, but it helps to find some form of workout that you can take pride in after. For some people that's just standard gym workouts and that's enough, but some people just find it harder to look at reps and say "I'm proud of how much I lifted that thing up and down.". Makes a difference.

BUT the treadmill is close to the restroom. If I 'walk' I can be far away from one when I really need it. SO THERE

That parking thing always stuck me as crazy. You want a parking spot by the entrance, so you don't have to walk a long ways to the entrance to walk in circles thru the mall.

Yep, as soon as I lay my yoga mat down there are two cats who think it's an invitation to come lay on it and maybe give it a scratch or two

Obesity cannot be transmitted by coughing near someone, and COVID killed millions in a very short time.

But, as I learned from BP, obesity can be transmitted by farting into someone's b******e. Butte hole(At least that's what I got from the post about gut biomen)

I tried the gym one year. I discovered it was nothing like shown in the movies , full of attractive thin young women and young fit macho men. It was mostly old, obese, out of shape people. I fit right in with the old part.

Everyone I know who has started a regular exercise routine found their mood improved tremendously. If I miss one day of swimming, I get irritable and The Blues returns.

Back when I swam, I would consistently lose count when swimming a 200 in practice despite the fact that it was only 4 50s... (a 50 is 2 laps)

I love working out at home. The weights are never being used by anyone, I can have a nice decent shower in private, and it's easier to find time in between other tasks because I don't have to travel there. And if I need company/encouragement, I put on a video of a gym youtuber.

I can only work out at home. Gyms are the single most demotivating things in existence for me.

One fitness center I briefly attended had a rusted piece of metal beam hanging by a thread of metal over the middle of the pool. The roof had obviously leaked at that spot. The manager refused to have it removed. I ended my membership pretty fast.

Yes, because the left one is a photo of an actual weight plate, whereas the right one is a render of one. Pixels weigh less than steel.

This is why I prefer to go it alone. It's just better and you can get it done at your own pace.
ABC NrTen FCK CENSORISM 6 months ago
Same for me with cardio. I told my workplace's running group that I hate jogging (which is true, but I still do it for stamina reasons) because I don't want a walk-and-talk group, but go in my pace and until I decide I'm done.

yes, until you face a real opponent. I boxed frequently until I met a sparring partner on champion level. I stopped after. For good. He didn't even have to hit me

I asked our local triathlete what special food she eats for stamina and energy. I was expecting some exotic thing like kale smoothies with protein powder. She told me she eats a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

I love when people ask me to help them move (I'm 48) and I tell them I'm too old for that. Then they bring up the gym, which is a controlled environment, not trying to drag a sofabed down the hall with some random dude who needs a cig break every 15 minutes. I'm not going to hurt myself helping you move for pizza and beer.

The only time my wife lost any appreciable amount of weight was when we traveled to China to adopt our daughter. The smell of Chinese food in the morning for breakfast turned her appetite off and she ate less.

The issue is quite evident: the weights on the left are crowding the way. At night, it seems to be accident-prone.

Working out your abs doesn't remove the fat layer over your abs. You could never do abs and if your body fat is low enough you'll have "abs".

Much more than 60 years. And those ideals look pretty worthy, to me.
