With January 1st around the corner, many of us are staring at our sportswear and thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Whether you want to run faster, lift heavier, or just get healthier, now’s the perfect time to shake up your routine.
So we decided to pull a few jokes from r/GymMemes and encourage you to buy (or extend) that membership you’ve been considering. They perfectly capture every struggle, triumph, and awkward moment people experience on their fitness journey. Break a leg!

Get After It
Unfortunately, there will be 12 people thinking "good for him" and one Mean Girl "instagram model/influencer" who says something cruel or sneers in disgust. Don't just think "Good for him", nod to the guy, give him a "sup" or a "respect". Treat the fat, and the unfit like they belong, and let them know they're welcome. Making a major change to your lifestyle like that is hard and they deserve to be supported rather than discouraged and shut out.
A Government teacher, that had a heart attack, began running around our small town. One of my daughters' classmates poked fun at him due to his, admittedly, unorthodox running gait as he appeared to be very stiff, little arm movement. Just dangling down. "You know what the difference is between him and you"..what?".."he's out there and you're NOT".
My thought when I see a fat person in the gym is always, "why do they have mirrors in this gym? I thought it was supposed to be a no judgement zone"
Seriously Though
Sad Realization
That's right. I see your six pack and raise you one keg.

As a personal trainer, I can say that way too many people do it wrong enough. 😵💫 When in doubt please ask a trainer. You only have one body. Don't f**k it up because you are too cool to ask for guidens.
After I tore my MCL (not while working out) my physical therapist said he should probably write a thank you note to Nautilus for all the work he got from people using the equipment incorrectly.

I do not go to the gym, I thought this dude being on steroids was pretty obvious 💁🏼♀️
The compounded interest has turned into a really good monthly income. (For anyone who didn't figure it out the word somebody doesn't know is "tenets". The internet is littered with people making the same mistake. Then there are the people that think the government takes property they need with "imminent domain," which is sort of apropos even though it's wrong.)

I like t listen to a podcast or audio book. I am currently "reading" Recursion, good sci-fi about time travel. It distracts me from the fact that I'm lifting heavy things for no reason.
It Goes Like That
I go to a small personal training gym. A lot of the time my trainer asks if I want to hear something different, but 90% of the time the music is already good.
I work out at home so I can listen to whatever the f I want!

I Hate My Life…
Think about how much lifting, pushing, pulling, squatting and running a parent does every day.
My father has never done anything inside of a gym apart from the stationary bike or the treadmill and he has calves gym bros would die for. It has always stood out to me because they do not fit the rest of his body.
Muscle Mommies Are Attractive Tbh
A woman with muscles looks like a woman with muscles, because she is a woman and has muscles. And because muscles are a normal feature of the female body. Saying a woman with muscles looks like a man is like saying a man with teeth looks like a woman because women have teeth.
No... clearly he looks like a pregnant woman. Watch Aliens again

I find women with well-defined muscles more attractive than women who are serious body builder, but the latter are very impressive and not unattractive. Not all that long ago women whose muscles are really big and well-defined would lose body building competitions to women who were considered more feminine. Here are pictures (in self-reply) of Bev Francis, who lost a lot of competitions to smaller women, and Raye Hollit, who was more successful. I'm still a bit smitten with Raye Hollit, who picks up John Ritter in "Skin Deep" (where the bottom picture comes from).

If you're out there doing SOMETHING, you're better off. Walking 5k 3x week has great benefit.

Yeah, but how many people can use a squat rack for 30 minutes straight?
Some people do low weight, high reps and take it very seriously.

Best Decision I Ever Made
We have a gym in our building and although the number of people coming is low but they are a noisy lot. They talk and talk and talk, non stop. All of them. I tried it for two days. Got fed up and never went back.
I just go to planet fitness. It's like $15/month, and because I work from home I go before lunch. It's usually pretty empty. My GF and I sometimes go on Sunday nights and it's a bit more crowded, but still not bad. That said, come January it can get rough for about 6 weeks.
Everyday!
In the Gym I go to there are both Men and Women who hog a machine for a long time whilst they scroll on their phones, I think it is very inconsiderate.
It Is An Inevitability At This Point
The same is true for a lot of YouTubers. I've noticed that a lot of photography channels tend to cover the same topics at the same time (perhaps they all see something somewhere and decide to run with it), and some of them make on a small portion of their income from actual photography.
Why Do They All Have This Haircut Though…
I like to see young people using the Gym if they are actually working out. One year a large group of young Men came in and either sat scrolling or used the machines wrongly (they were stopped by a Gym Trainer who showed them how to use the machines properly. Yes they all have the same hairstyle.
The Patric Mahomes Special was special until the Eagles beat the Queefs in the Superb Owl
There’s Other Things To Do?
I think I'm in the wrong thread. Working out isn't a hobby, it's something I do so I don't totally fall apart physically. If I could eat garbage and read in bed instead, I totally would. I go three days a week, so I don't end up riding the scooter in the grocery store. Not to have fun.
I've heard of people for whom working out is their hobby.

Sounds like OP is starting to get a******d to it, or in the very least has a very toxic mindset about it. Nothing bad is gonna happen if you don't work out for 3 days.
WTF did the idiot censorbot censor this time??? Oh, it must be "äddicted."

His back part of the plank needs to be lower. It's supposed to be a straght line from the neck to the ankles, not a mountain at the back + straight legs. And his legs aren't straight.
Yeah, but he's totally mastered balancing those balls while planking.
Load More Replies...That stair thing is no joke. I was doing the elliptical for 20 minutes, and this person started the stair thing immediately next to me at the same time. When I finished my 20 minutes, I moved onto weights. 40 minutes later as I'm leaving, that lady was still on the stairs. HTF! She's a god d****d machine. I do that thing for 10 minutes and I'm toast.

Don't skip leg day's what? What does it have that we cannot skip? I need to know.
The leg exercises that belong to leg day. People usually don't skip the day itself.

All the roofers I know are small dudes, mostly latinos like me. We tend to come in fun-size or extra fluffy. I would think being big and heavy on a slanted roof isn't so safe. I'll have to ask my buddy Emilio
