The gym is a sanctuary for determined people who have a weight loss program or fitness regiment they have to keep to. But then there are some people who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing there. We’re just grateful that someone was present to capture those moments on camera, because they are hilarious!
Achilles Heel
In all fairness, the bar had been set too high for her to reach in regular sneakers alone. At least she’s tending to her Achilles heel.

Social Workout
If a group of friends take a selfie in the forest and they didn’t upload it to Instagram, did they really have a workout?
Social Workout
The Big Mac
Did you ever think about how much junk food Ronald McDonald probably eats? No, you only think about yourself. Jokes aside, it’s totally understandable that he would need a weight loss program.
The Big Mac
Throwing In The Towel
There aren’t many things to do when your trainer is running late. We would suggest having a warm-up, although this does look quite tempting too.
Throwing In The Towel
Take The Stairs
Nobody wants to start their workout before they’ve made it into the locker room and changed into their gym shorts. Why else would there be an escalator, right?
Take The Stairs
How Are You Feline?
I’m all for the freedom to wear what makes you feel better to work out in, but maybe this dude took it too far. I can’t imagine that anyone wants to see a wide-eyed cat helping women do awkward stretches.
How Are You Feline?
The Best Weight Loss Program
Let’s see, what would make a killer weight loss program for our customers? Oh, that’s easy! First we’ll get them running on the treadmills and then we’ll stuff their faces with cream-filled donuts!

High Expectations
I suppose not all gym equipment is intended for everyone. So let’s say you’re taller than 4 ft 5 inches, don’t use any of the equipment that could thrust you through the ceiling. Kapish?
High Expectations
Baby Steps
Good ol’ Greg thought that he was a genius when he incorporated babysitting into his daily workout routine. The only issue was that his wife was not too thrilled when she discovered what he was doing.
Baby Steps
Chicken Legs
No, we’re not talking about a bucket of the crispy, deep-fried kind. We’re talking about those guys who spend 7 days a week working out the upper part of their body and never focus on their legs. Guys, simple gym lesson – NEVER skip leg day.
Chicken Legs
New Age Workouts
When it comes to working out, a lot of guys think they know what they’re doing when they create genius exercises. One such example is the “stand-on-two-flimsy-weights-and-try-not-to-die”. This exercise has been tried and tested, the only problem is that the mastermind isn’t available for feedback.
New Age Workouts
Squad Goals
When Martin said that he wanted friends he knew he could lean on, this wasn’t exactly what he meant. Having said that, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t appreciate the support he got from his friends.
Squad Goals
Doggy Style
Kenny and Kenny (yeah, they have the same name) both have many hobbies in common. Aside from eating ice-cream and taking long walks through the park, the Kenny’s routinely do yoga together. Kenny Jr. (the pooch) is teaching Kenny Sr. (the hooman) how to do the upward dog.
Doggy Style
Multi-Tasker
When the gym salesman explained to Annie that the machine had multiple uses, she thought she understood exactly what the young salesman meant.
Multi-Tasker
Rained Out
There are few things more disappointing than getting dressed up to go out, only to have your plans cancelled. Trevor was determined to get his weekly bicycle ride in and not even the rain was going to stop him.
Rained Out
Knit Knot
Some people find it simple to take on more than one task at a time, and then there’s me – I can hardly take two steps and drink my coffee at the same time. This very talented dude can run and knit, wow!
Knit Knot
Music, No Matter What
Poor guy, just a couple of hours earlier his phone fell into the toilet. There was no way he was going to have a workout without music, so the next best option was…
Music, No Matter What
Instructions, Please
Most machines at the gym have an instructive diagram on their side to help customers understand what they need to do. Then there are some machines which really don’t need an explanation… or do they?
Instructions, Please
Make 2018 Your Best Year
Here’s a tip for 2018. For the first two weeks of the year, DON’T go to the gym! And it totally makes sense why not, because everyone will be trying to honor their new year’s resolutions of getting on board with a weight loss program.
Make 2018 Your Best Year
Perfect Balance
After his three “free sessions” with a personal trainer had ended, he remembered some important tips he received. One of them was that it was really important to rest between sets. Although he didn’t remember exactly what to do while he was resting, he did know how to rest though.
Perfect Balance
Collecting
Not all men are made equal. Some men are made 1,000 x 24,884,652,123.7 more than other men. Those men walk around the gym collecting as many weights as they possibly can and then they do this.
Collecting
Weight Loss Program Goals
Running isn’t for everyone, as swimming sin’t either for example. There are many different kinds of sports and exercises out there, and there is definitely something best suited for each person. This might be the most exciting kind yet, we just aren’t sure that it works yet.
Weight Loss Program Goals
Brains And Brawl
Ladies, take a look at your dream man in full form. There’s no doubt that this fellow has both the brawn, and very clearly, the brains too!
Brains And Brawl
Rat Race
Someone really needed to tell Douglas that this wasn’t the best way to prepare himself for the inevitable “rat-race”. Luckily for him he at least got fit.
Rat Race
Personal Example
There’s something suspicious about a chef who doesn’t eat his own food, isn’t there. Well the same ideology applies when it comes to a personal trainer at the gym. If your trainer looks like the donuts you’ve been trying to avoid, then maybe you need a new personal trainer.
Personal Example
The Best Motivation
Whether you’re doing sit-ups, push-ups, bench presses or anything else that means you need to get it up, you probably won’t find better motivation than this.

Oxy Morons
I’ll list a few pairs and you tell me which one doesn’t fit right. Here we go: cloud and rain; milk and cow; grass and green, gym and 10,000-calorie chocolate cake. Exactly!
Oxy Morons
Couch Potato
When Henry’s wife told him to get off the sofa and hit the gym because he was turning into a “couch potato”, he was angry and had no idea what she was talking about.
Couch Potato
Any Excuse
When it comes to working out, we become masters of excuse-making. Personally, I can list 20 to 40 different reasons why I can’t work out at any given time. So when your cute pooch “prevents” you from pumping some iron, think of it as an excuse handed to you on a golden platter.
Any Excuse
Right Or Left
It’s no secret that we all have a stronger and weaker side of our bodies. You’re not sure which side is which? Well there is a really simple method to finding out and this guy has just found out.
Right Or Left
Quickie
I know a lot of guys who drop to the floor to do a couple of push-ups before going out on a date. So what’s the problem with a girl doing a few fast-walk miles before heading out for the night?
Quickie
Her Calling
To be completely fair, when we see gymnasts swinging from the rings during the Olympics, they sure do make it look easy!
Her Calling
Ducks Working Out
Another pair of dressed-up gym goers strengthening their facial muscles as well as their thumbs… the most important physical features for selfies.

Bad Signals
The sign on the gym’s door that read “Come As You Are”, was referring to your weight, not the dressing stage you were in when you stepped out of the shower at home.
Bad Signals
Getting Smarter
Brain power means knowledge, and as you know, knowledge is power. The gym can help you build muscles all over your body… your brain isn’t one of them though.
Getting Smarter
Simultaneous Weight Loss
This guys is definitely the smartest guy on our list. We have to give him credit for creating this, this… this game? It not only develops the muscles in the neck, it also strengthens the tongue, and it actually includes a treadmill.
Simultaneous Weight Loss
Segway = Wrong Way
We’ve seen high heels on the treadmill and we let it go, but this has got to be pushing the boundaries. What kind of exercise could this possibly be? What physical benefit could possibly come from this?
Segway = Wrong Way
Surprised?
Why are you surprised? Did you think that Batman didn’t need to keep in shape himself? Where do you think he spends his time while he’s waiting for the bat signal?
Surprised?
Coming Of Age
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this picture. Here we see a lady who has earned the right to relax at the gym with a martini in one hand, and a ball… yes, a ball in the other. Who said she doesn’t deserve to enjoy a little eye candy.
Coming Of Age
Determined
Getting a headstart on anything in life is usually a good thing. This however, might not be in the baby’s best interests.
Determined
“Start Slowly”, They Said
Sandra took her trainer’s advice very seriously. When her trainer told her to start working out slowly, she decided to do exactly that. Within a week she had already started sitting on a three-legged chair… progress was in the works.
“Start Slowly”, They Said
His Own Time
It really wasn’t clear to Tim what the big fuss was about the treadmill. Everyone was raving about how it did them wonders cutting down on extra weight, but for him, it just felt like a good ol’ sit-down.
His Own Time
ABS Vs UFOs
If there ever was a greater motivation to work out than this, please let me know. When the aliens come ready for dinner time, I’ll be sweating off my extra weight. But maybe skinny people will be eaten first, as appetizers!
ABS Vs UFOs
Disaster In 3…2…1…
Ladies and gentlemen, disaster will strike in exactly 3… 2… 1… There are very few things right with this picture, and soon there will be some very wrong things with it.

A Ball’s Up
Yoga balls serve many purposes for gym-goers. The ball on its own can replace many machines from the gym, but what would happen if you combined the two? This man is about to find out, but we’re guessing the results aren’t going to be pretty.
A Ball’s Up
Always Have A Buddy
Don’t bite off more than you can chew, and don’t pack on more than you can lift. It’s always a better bet to bring a friend to spot you than to have a peeping Tom spot you with his camera.
Always Have A Buddy
Less Is More
Sometimes less is more, but sometimes less is NOT more. Putting on 20 1-pound weights on each side can easily be exchanged with 1 20-pound weight on each side. Trust me when I tell you that you aren’t impressing anyone. Besides, you could save much more time putting on and taking off one weight.
Less Is More
Bruce Lee 2.0
Hey man, if you want to turn heads at the gym, you’re already achieving it with that glow-in-the-light tracksuit. There’s no need for a fancy workout routine that combines anything you could get your hands on. Bruce Lee would not be proud, he would be confused.
Bruce Lee 2.0
The Right Moment
“I’ll start tomorrow, I’ll start after the weekend, I’ll start on January 1st.” We’ve all made these promises to ourselves. The right moment will never come along and smack you in the face, you need to get up, get dressed and get on the treadmill. Only then will the right moment smack you in the face.
The Right Moment
Naps And Reps
The best workout that Doug found, called for a rest between naps, how great is that? He didn’t bring his reading glasses to the gym, but perhaps he should have, because the weight loss program said “rest between reps!”
Naps And Reps
The Best Motivation Ever
There’s a marching band and then there’s a running band. Sandy’s greatest advantage over his opponents was that he had many friends in the school band who were ALWAYS there to motivate him.
The Best Motivation Ever
Six Pack
“What’s the best way to get six-pack abs?” The answer was easier than he thought, and didn’t exclude drinking his favorite beer either. Heck, what’s the big fuss about?
Six Pack
Safety Always Comes First
No matter where you are, safety always comes first. Based on the other geniuses in this list, we can’t blame this young lady for being too cautious. Anything can happen at the gym, and whatever happens at the gym… lands up on social media pages.
Safety Always Comes First
Perfect Fit
One of the greatest things about the newest gym machines is that they are so easy to use. Each machine is developed to easily mold itself around the user’s body. How could anyone possible go wrong with the brilliant design of these machines?

When It’s Time To Find A New Trainer
Hey, I’m all for support from your trainer. Let him shout motivation at you, let him push you to do a few more reps when you think you’re done. But there is definitely a line that can’t be crossed, and that line might just be when he is lying on top of you while you’re trying to do a set of butterfly lifts.
