Please Help

Alright, we have seen many people losing the everlasting fight against the gym machinery, but this lady here probably takes the prize. In fairness, it’s not easy to picture how this hack squat machine is supposed to be used. The more we think about it, the less obvious it becomes.

No wonder no one helped her that day. We bet that no one knew the right way to work out using this machine. It would have been better, however, to attempt to find it out rather than to take a picture. In fact, we don’t even know if she’s aware of it, which is kind of disturbing.

Upward-Facing Cuteness Overload

Just in case anyone has ever wondered where the Yoga postures got their name from, this little French Bulldog is here to answer our questions most adorably. His owner doesn’t seem to be surprised at his ability to do the upward facing dog pose, which probably means that he’s done it before!

Overall, we’re just glad he had someone to grab the picture that day, as it’s quite cute. The dog is even facing the camera at just the right angle. Maybe from here on, this guy should take two yoga mats with him at his sessions, one for him and one for his companion.

Smile For The Dumbbell

Showing up at the gym is one thing but working out is another. These guys know exactly what we’re talking about. Judging from their surroundings, they are probably at a group workout session, but instead of doing Pilates or lifting weights, they are using them as props for their photoshoot.

Seeing them now, their selfie must’ve been hilarious. Was it worth paying for that gym membership, though? We can’t really answer that question. At least they inspired others to exercise that day, which is never a bad thing. Who knows, maybe they actually took the picture once they finished their session.

Please Don’t Wear That Again

We hope that this guy didn’t actually wear this leotard on his way to the gym that day because the experience couldn’t have been pleasant. Unless having everyone stare at him on the road was his goal, there’s no excuse for him to commit such a fashion crime.

The lady in this picture seems to be just as surprised as we are. Who even sells these spandex onesies? Come to think of it, he may as well have gone through all the trouble of making it himself. How else could he have gotten his cat’s face, right?

Quick Workout Before The Date

Although a sundress and high heels are in no way the perfect gym outfit, this lady here is rocking them. She might not have the time to change outfits, but that didn’t stop her from getting her workout that day, so we have to congratulate her persuasion.

She even has her handbag with her, probably to freshen up after hitting the shower. We hope her date went well; after all, she was clearly nervous about it if she were hitting the gym beforehand. She might not have dressed appropriately for weightlifting, but for any other occasion, her cute sundress is perfect!

Pretty In Pink

For some reason, all the big brands out there that sell sneakers have started producing bright-colored ones, and we can’t seem to be able to figure out why. Look at this lady here, for example. Although going total-black can never go wrong, she topped the outfit off with these fuchsia sneakers.

At least she had the courtesy of not matching them with the rest of the outfit because she would’ve wound up looking like a fancy buoy. She does seem as though she’s been working out, especially her gluteus, so we wouldn’t dare to judge her on her fashion choices.

The Life Of An Influencer

She went all the way to the gym that day just to get a selfie for the gram. At least she had the decency to do some form of exercise while posting her next Instagram story. In fairness, being an influencer is a difficult job, and it just becomes more difficult with more followers.

If that’s the case here, this lady is doing it right. We can’t say the same about the guy in the red T-shirt in the background, though, since it’s really hard to tell what his goal is; or where his legs are for that matter!

Training For The Public Restrooms

Squats are a great exercise for our cores and legs. They are in no way a laughing matter. It’s just unfortunate that this lady had her picture taken while doing one. Although they’re good for our bodies, they are also probably the least photogenic stature.

She was doing a million other things during her session that day, but the person holding the camera decided to snap a picture of her squatting. Although unfortunate, she doesn’t seem to mind. One thing’s for sure; she never had any problems using a public restroom!

Team Workout

Even though these ladies seem to be physically fit, they are kind of taking the meaning of slacking off to the next level. They went through all the trouble of showing up at their training that day just to take a selfie with their besties.

It’s very important to keep up with the appearances, but it’s also important to work out. Usually, pictures at the gym consist of people working out, but not in their case. Their gym-pictures are full of smiles and hugs! At least they motivated their followers to work out that day.

I Can Go All Day!

Okay, this picture isn’t actually taken at a gym but on a pavement. But that doesn’t mean that the lady in this picture isn’t working out! After all, she’s clearly doing some form of a sit-up. We’re pretty sure that her hands are supposed to be behind her head, but then again, everyone does whatever feels more comfortable.

It kind of looks as though she’s sitting on a skateboard, rolling around the pavement. No wonder the guy behind her seems to be intrigued at whatever it is she’s doing. Come to think about it, even the lady herself seems to be surprised at her skills.

Everything Is Blurry

The technology is at the point now when we don’t even need cameras when we have a new phone. In fact, we hardly even need a photo-editing program, as most mobiles can edit an image in a heartbeat. This lady is a fan of these new features.

However, we can’t know what made her blur out the background in this picture. After all, she was already perfectly positioned to be the main focus of this picture. We won’t make too much fun of the bad editing because she seems like she would beat us in a race.

Easing Into It

Warming up before a workout is crucial. Most people do that while on their way to the gym, but not this lady! She drove all the way there to flex her new yoga pants by the weights section. We wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t even work out that day.

If we’re being fair, those pants look cute on her, so do the brand-new sneakers. Sometimes getting the right outfit can give a person that slight push they need in order to show up at the gym, and maybe that’s the case here. She’s simply easing into it!

Insta-Ready

Unlike the other woman we just saw, this one here prefers taking selfies rather than doing an actual warmup. In fairness, she must have paid a lot of money to buy that outfit, as it looks as though it’s of an expensive athletic brand.

It’s never a bad time to dress to impress; however, she could probably have her picture taken while exercising to look more believable. On the other hand, she seems to be quite fit already. Maybe she was just done with her workout and decided to snap a picture for her Instagram stories.

Trying Out New Techniques

Alright, this one doesn’t even seem realistic! Unless this lady is Wonder Woman’s blonde sister, not even the best weightlifter out, there could lift that much weight in this position. To be fair, she does look like she’s no stranger to working out, but maybe she overdid it with this picture.

Taking pictures at the gym is a very common phenomenon nowadays. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that we should do everything we see on the internet. After all, exercising should be about staying healthy and not about keeping up with appearances. At least she took time off her schedule going there that day.

Twinsies

Just in case being identical twins wasn’t already making them difficult to tell apart, these ladies decided to also get matching outfits. Apparently, they are the Instagram famous West Twins, with over 342,000 followers on their profile. Admittedly, that top they’re wearing is pretty neat.

They don’t usually wear the same outfit, at least according to their social media, but when they do, they make sure to take a selfie. In fairness, that’s what their entire brand is all about, twin sisters hitting the gym. They also provide online coaching and workout guides.

 

Helping Each Other Out

Having a buddy to work out with is always useful. It adds that extra persuasion we sometimes need to keep our minds focused on the goal. These two people here know exactly what we’re talking about. As this guy is struggling to keep going, his friend is helping to keep him stable.

There are many other ways to achieve that as a spotter, however, which are probably more effective too. That hints to us that she’s probably not his personal trainer and probably a good friend of his. Good enough so that she sits on his lap while he’s weightlifting.

Training On Heels

While most people struggle lifting weights in normal sneakers, this lady here is preparing for the Olympics in stilettos. Her will to train might seem admirable, but then again, she is not actually lifting any weight, which is making us question her choice of footwear.

In all fairness, the shoes are fabulous, so who can blame her for wearing them to the gym since she must have spent so much money on them. Despite it all, we have to congratulate her on not skipping her workout that day, even though what she’s doing doesn’t look very comfortable.

Almost There

He might not be able to actually lift this much weight, but at least that didn’t stop him from trying. After all, the only way to get better at something is through failure. However, that struggling face he’s making isn’t doing him any favors, especially since he’s having his picture taken.

The more we observe this picture, the more it becomes clear that this guy is no stranger to working out. Maybe he was just used to lifting dumbbells until that point and wanted to spice things up. Either way, we only have a piece of advice for this guy, and that’s to keep trying!

What Goes On In The Background

There are many distractions at a gym, with everyone running around doing some form of exercise. It must be difficult to keep focused, especially for the trainers that work there. Imagine having to look after people working out simultaneously. This guy knows exactly what we’re talking about.

We can only suppose that this lady in the background is his client, otherwise, this guy needs to change jobs. He’s supposed to be the spotter while that other guy is lifting this weight; however, the lady with the dumbbell seems to be more interesting. Although we can’t blame him, he does need to pay more attention to his clients.

 

The Next Arm-Wrestling Champion

Working out is super important, but only if done right. This guy probably thought he was too good to get a trainer, and as a result, he wound up having the so-called chicken-leg syndrome. Don’t get us wrong; it’s a serious condition, which has its victims looking incredibly asymmetrical.

Working out the upper body is definitely a must, but there’s a reason why trainers insist on having leg days. They are just as important as upper body days, and this picture is a testament to that. At least one thing’s for sure—we wouldn’t want to be in an arm wrestling competition with this guy!

Burning Off The Calories

Having a Krispy Kreme donut stand inside a gym might defeat the purpose of working out, but the more we think, the more genius the idea sounds. First, they feed their clients donuts, and then they have them burning the fat off. It’s all part of a vicious corporate cycle.

In fairness, everyone left the gym that day happy. The clients got a free donut, Krispy Kreme got a nice advertisement, and the gym got its clients to work extra hard that day. Maybe that’s why everyone using the treadmills in the background looks so busy.

 

Parenting Like A Boss

He was probably stuck at home caring for the new-born while his wife was out working, but that was no excuse for him not to work out that day. Using this ingenious strap around his torso, now this proud dad can lift weights and his baby simultaneously.

However, we wouldn’t recommend anyone to try this as they seem one wrong move away from a tragic accident. This guy seems like he’s no stranger to weightlifting, though, so our minds are at ease. The baby seems to be enjoying itself, too, probably because his dad didn’t forget to put on some deodorant that day.

Take-Your-Dog-To-Gym Day

It’s no secret that Labradors are always hungry. In fact, more often than not, their owners have to put them on a diet. This guy here took the extra step and started taking him to the gym with him! In fairness, the dog looks like it’s in great shape.

Why wouldn’t it be, though? Especially with his dad being a regular gymgoer! We don’t know if it were able to lift the weight that day, but in trying, we now have this viral picture. Who needs parks when they can just blow off steam at a gym, surrounded by pet-loving and belly-rubbing people?

Fake It ‘Til You Make It

It may have been raining that day, but that didn’t stop this biker from training. He even wore his biking outfit and helmet to do so, even though he’s just riding a stationary bike. In fairness, that’s actually the best way to simulate a real-life bicycle. However, he doesn’t look bright in doing so.

Then again, even if he’s not an actual biker, there is nothing wrong with faking it until he makes it. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him taking part in a biking marathon a couple of months after that incident. Maybe he even created a fanbase after this picture of him went viral.

The Thumb Workout

Every new year we all tend to get a bit carried away with our resolutions. This lady here probably had ‘get fit’ on hers. However, she doesn’t seem to have the right mindset for it. In fairness, she doesn’t need any slimming down, but some casual workout never hurt anyone.

We would simply advise her not to bring her mobile with her the next time she shows up at the gym. It can be quite distracting doing yoga with the notifications buzzing in her pocket, so we can’t really blame her. At least her thumb is getting a good workout out of it!

‘Working’ Out

Sometimes work can be so time-consuming that we find ourselves not having enough time to cook, let alone hit the gym. This guy seems to have it all figured out. By bringing his laptop and his favorite beverage along, he can now burn calories and make his deadline at the same time.

Maybe we should all be getting lessons from this guy rather than making fun of him. In case his plan was actually a success, and he was able to focus, in spite of the distractions, this person is giving a new and literal meaning to working out.

The Hulk Working Out

Sometimes if a camera is used right, it can work wonders like in this case, where this guy is seemingly lifting all that weight with his feet. It just shows us that everything is a matter of perspective. If the person taking the picture was standing in front or behind him, it’d be a completely normal picture.

Unless, of course, we’re wrong about it, and the guy actually has superhuman strength like the Hulk. Of course, if that were the case, the people in the background would’ve probably been slightly more amazed when watching his stunts. On the contrary, though, it’s just another day at the gym.

How People Exercised Before Electricity

Who needs a treadmill when this is an option? Although we’re most used to seeing hamsters using wheels like this one, he seems to be rocking it. We can imagine that it’s a difficult thing to do too, seeing this wheel’s shape. At least it looks like it’s stable enough to support a fully-grown man.

The more we think about it, the more we hope that this picture is photoshopped, otherwise, it should come with a hazard alert. In fairness, if someone would ever try and sell these, they could advertise them as electricity-free treadmills. Maybe that’s what people used in ancient times to stay in shape.

How-Not-To-Train 101

Some people take kindly to accepting instructions, and some don’t. It’s safe to say that this person here hand-picked this trainer to be harsh with him, knowing that that’s the only way for him to actually work out. Although it may seem unconditional, many people function better under pressure.

Maybe getting a picture of their session and posting it online is overdoing it, but then again, who are we to judge? The trainer looks like he knows what he’s doing, and the trainee looks as though he’s eager to get his workout out of the way. We can’t know why the guy in the background is laughing, though.

This Workout Is A Piece Of Cake

We can imagine how this dialogue went down. This trainer told his client that he could only ever have cake if he was willing to burn it off afterward. He was so close to reaching his goal that the trainer decided to treat him only with a slight surprise.

Little did this guy know that a cake would be waiting for him at the gym that day. Sadly, he wasn’t that excited when he realized that he’d be eating it while doing sit-ups and lifting all that weight. At least he got to work out and have a piece of cake at the same time.

Getting Ready For The Catwalk

She’s not the first person we see working out in heels and probably isn’t going to be the last one either. Although the higher the heels, the more difficult it is to walk on them, this lady doesn’t seem to be having any problems at all.

The person taking this picture was probably as entertained by her as we are! Who knows, maybe she’s a model getting ready for a catwalk, or maybe she’s just trying to perfect her high-heel-walk. It takes great skill to spend hours on stilettos, and anyone who’s ever worn a pair knows that all too well.

 

This Doesn’t Seem Comfortable

As we’ve already mentioned, it’s very important to exercise every muscle in our body. But this guy is probably taking it way too seriously. He looks like he’s new to the world of working out, but we’re pretty sure that this is not the way this machine is supposed to be used.

We would recommend he paying the extra dollar to hire a personal trainer if he really wants to stay in shape. After all, he looks as though he could use a helping hand. It’s just a pity that the person watching him decided to snap a picture rather than to help him, but at least he went viral.

Always Read The Instructions

Continuing down the path of using the gym machinery the wrong way, comes this guy. In fairness, what this guy is doing doesn’t seem easy to be recreated, but we’re pretty sure that this is not how this leg press machine is meant to be used.

Judging from how red his face looks behind that chair, he’s probably exerting a lot of force to work out every single muscle in his legs. Who knows; Maybe he has some superpowers that we don’t know about. Nevertheless, the fact that this machine has a chair should have been enough of an indicator that he’s doing something wrong.

Time To Snack

Treadmills are supposed to help us lose weight, not put it on. We can only hope that this picture was taken before COVID-19; otherwise, this guy is in big trouble. Unless he’s just fooling around on his mom’s treadmill, in which case, we can’t imagine her being happy about it.

If he actually ended up getting every single one of these chips, we can imagine it becoming a viral challenge on TikTok. Leaving aside the fact that this is completely unsanitary, this guy is a modern-day genius. We do hope that he rubbed the track with Purell beforehand.

Early Bird Gets The Worm

It’s never too early to start pursuing your dreams. We should all be taking lessons from this child! He might not even be two years old, but the sky is the limit for him. In fairness, maybe he’s just copying his dad’s moves, but at least he’s trying.

We’re sure that he’ll grow up to be very healthy and strong. But if we were his parents, we would probably start him off with something smaller and lighter, like one of those miniature barbells you can find on Amazon. The more we think about it, the less safe this stunt appears to be, but we’re sure that no one got hurt that day!

Why Isn’t Anyone Surprised?

This picture raises too many questions. First of all, why did Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story decide to start working out, and secondly, why doesn’t anyone seem surprised by that sight? We can’t imagine it being comfortable walking the treadmill dressed like that.

However, it may help to burn calories quicker as it would require more effort to keep moving in this heavy costume. Maybe this guy has an upcoming interview to work as a mascot, in which case he’s just being proactive. One thing’s for sure, if it were us exercising in the background, we’d probably be a little bit more distracted by the sight.

Lunch Break On The Treadmill

This person spent all day at work, then finally decided to take a break at the gym. He found the closest chair near to him and carefully placed it by the TV, hoping no one would notice. We’ve heard of ‘dance like nobody looking,’ but never before have we heard of ‘sit like nobody looking!’

Maybe there is some super interesting show airing on the TV, and this person is just staying out of everyone’s way while they watch it. After all, we can’t imagine that running on the treadmill and being distracted by the TV is safe. It would all make more sense if the person wasn’t wearing overalls.

The Plank Tower

These guys are training for a cheerleading contest. Although seeing a male cheerleader is, unfortunately, kind of rare, they managed to create an all-male cheerleading team and even reached the finals in doing so! It should be unsurprising seeing the stunts they come up with.

The guy in the middle of this human skyscraper seems to be having some difficulties staying put, but that’s okay since they’re only training. It is really impressive what these guys are doing. As if doing the plank wasn’t already difficult enough, they really took it to the next level.

 

The Pull-Up Expert

Nobody said that being a parent is easy, but this guy is probably tiring himself out unnecessarily. He could have simply let his daughter in her stroller right in front of him while he enjoyed his daily routine. Instead, he chose to carry her on his back.

It does seem like she’s enjoying herself, though. It probably feels like she’s in a baby-proof rollercoaster! We can’t say the same about her daddy, though, who looks like he’s having some difficulties, but to be fair, doing pull-ups isn’t easy, especially with additional weight.

Training Makes Perfect

She just got her new Segway as a present. However, she had no idea how to ride it. What a better way to train than on a treadmill? Although this picture is funny by itself, imagine how funny it would’ve been carrying it all the way to the gym on foot.

Luckily, there weren’t many people working out at that point, but unfortunately, one person was enough to grab this picture.  As a consolation, she went viral and learned how to ride the Segway at the same time! We wouldn’t be surprised to see her riding it on her way home that day.

 

The Golden Gymgoer

We have already gone over how it’s never too early to start training, but this lady here comes to show us the other version of this sentence. It really is never too late to take a turn towards a healthier lifestyle. Maybe, however, we’d ditch the margarita if we were really trying to make a change.

If we’re being fair, she may just be there for sightseeing, in which case we should all be taking lessons from her. This may not be the right way to spend one’s gym membership, but who are we to judge? It’s definitely better than staying at home all day watching TV.

 

 

Oh, The Irony

The owners of this facility were probably thinking about their customers when they installed these two escalators. However, we can’t help but think that it’s somewhat defeating the purpose. We can imagine that they’re useful after a full hour of working out, but no one seems to be using them likewise.

On the other hand, the only two people on the escalators are about to enter the gym, not leave it. It’s just one great architectural irony. Who knows if that building was even meant to be a gym, to begin with? Maybe we’re being too harsh on them, and they’re just coming back from an outdoors workout session.

Taking A Breather

After an intense yoga session, it’s always important to take a breather and relax, and this lady knows exactly what we’re talking about! Given that her legs are raised from the ground, we hope that she’s alright, as that’s what people tend to do when they’re feeling a little bit dizzy.

If she’s just relaxing, we can think of many different places to do so, and in a more effective way. After all, even though that space is probably reserved for yoga and Pilates, nothing beats a good old mattress or a couch.

I Can See Your Brain, Bruh

Lifting weight is in no way an easy task, but maybe this guy is overdoing it. He is at the point when every vein in his boy shows, and it doesn’t seem healthy at all. As a matter of fact, he kind of looks like The Thing from The Fantastic Four cartoons.

Even the person behind him looks like he’s fascinated at his sight. Maybe he’s starstruck for seeing The Thing in real life, or maybe he’s a medical student studying his subject. Either way, we’d probably advise the weight-lifting guy to take a break. He looks like he needs it.

When Your Pockets Aren’t Big Enough

We’ve all been there: waking up in the morning to realize that we forgot to charge our phones. This guy didn’t let that stop him from going to the gym that day. Not listening to music while working out is out of the question, so he decided to take his Apple tablet with him instead.

If we’re being fair, the stunt he’s pulling is kind of genius. But then again, so was the guy who took this picture, as it’s not a sight we get to see every day. He probably knew that he would be made fun of, but he didn’t care.

 

How To Get Abs Like Batman’s

The Batman didn’t get to where he’s at now by being lazy. In fact, working out must be a big part of his life. Rarely ever do we get to see him out in the sunlight, especially wearing his suit—this is one of those rare occasions.

Maybe his lair had a leakage that day, and he just had to get his daily exercise. Who’d have thought that Bruce Wayne had a gym membership? We all know that he’s a millionaire, so he could easily afford to have a gym at his mansion. Come to think of it, he might be that gym’s owner.

Multitasking Done Right

Instead of making fun of this lady, we should all be taking advice from her. Even though she probably didn’t even have time to finish her hairstyle, she didn’t let that stop her from getting her daily exercise. We just have to admire her persuasion.

We would also like to comment on how flawlessly she’s using the machinery. As we’ve probably already noticed, it doesn’t come naturally to everyone. This lady here, however, is a professional. Her pink outfit makes a cute workout attire! She may look kind of silly with the rollers, but she looks like she has her priorities in place.

The New Diet Menu

Although eating Mcdonald’s is always a pleasant experience, it’s not necessarily the healthiest. Mister Ronald McDonald knows exactly what we’re talking about. In case anyone ever wondered how he’s able to maintain his impressive figure over the years, this is the answer. Who’d have thought that he’s a gym-freak?

He might have a lifetime of free meals in any Mcdonald’s he goes to, but on the downside, he needs to work off the calories if he’s to stay picture-perfect. That doesn’t seem to be an issue after seeing this picture, as he seems to have no trouble lifting that weight.

 

Where Did My Clothes Go?

He might not even have time to pack his gym outfit, but that’s not enough of a reason to stop him from working out. It’s quite admirable what this guy is doing, so we’ll try not to make too much fun out of the fact that he’s running the treadmill wearing nothing but a towel.

Upon closer inspection, he’s not even walking but is watching the game instead! Maybe this was taken during Super Bowl, and he was just burning off the fat from the holidays when his team scored. It’s always better to be safe than to be sorry.

 

Tall People Problems

Being tall Definity has its perks. They get to have the full view of the stage at concerts, they’re usually good at sports, and they stand out from the crowd with ease. However, when it comes to small and crowded spaces, maybe having an average height is better.

When we compare the treadmill’s height with the ceiling, it becomes clear that this hall isn’t where this machinery should normally be. This guy doesn’t seem to mind, though, despite his head being stuck on the ventilation tubes. We have to admire his dedication either way.
