Pump it up

Major gains

Feel the burn

Welcome back, weekend gym warriors and those devoted to the art of exercise! It's that time of the week again. No, not leg day. It's meme day! After a recent move, it's no longer convenient or even practical for me to continue attending my old gym. I will always cherish the memory of my old exercise haunt, it's just time to move on. I have yet to establish a membership, but there's a gym a few blocks away. And I've got my eye on it. While I hope it can fit the standards of my old spot, I can on…

Happy Saturday, gym attendees of all types! Whether you casually partake in exercise or live for the workout life, we've got the memes for you! Let's talk a little bit about the exercise lifestyle. I would call myself a casual gymgoer. I aim to go two or three times a week, but that usually ends up being closer to not at all. I'm not devoted, but boy do I admire the people that do. Friends of mine who are pictures of fitness fill with me jealousy, but also pride for their ability. It takes a lo…

Welcome back, gym attendees and exercise aficionados ! We're back, once again, this week with a grab bag of random relatable workout memes! Heading to the gym might feel like an uphill battle sometimes. Maybe you've had a long day and just want to head home for a little rest and relaxation. Maybe you're hesitant to start your day with a hearty workout due to effort. If you don't want to make the decision to get a workout in, that's totally understandable! We all have busy lives and getting a th…

Have you ever gone to the gym and found yourself frustrated that there are so many people using the machines and equipment? A line for the dumbbells? That's ridiculous! Sure, those sorts of occurrences are annoying, but have you ever thought that the world doesn't revolve around you? Everybody else is there for the same reason as you, to get a little workout in . If you have a problem with that, maybe plan to work out at a less busy time or develop a little bit of patience. It might not be the…

Last week, I went to the gym for the first time in at least a year. Most likely longer than that. It felt incredible! The satisfaction that comes from committing oneself to a full, rigorous gym routine is unmatched. The next day, it felt terrible. It's easy to forget how hard muscle aches hit you after you get back to working out. I expected it, but I was definitely not ready for it. I've gone a few times since then. Now, I kind of think of it as positive pain. My muscles are doing their thing;…

It's been a minute since I've been to the gym. Like so many other people, I went to the gym, got a membership, did my first session, did one more the next day, and then proceeded to stop going to the gym. The motivational impulse to begin to regularly go to the gym is nearly irresistible. Improving your mental and physical health through a gym routine? That sounds incredible. The sad thing is building discipline takes genuine effort. That explains why so many of us are left right at the startin…

These hilarious summer bod memes are for vacationers who haven't quite reached their goals yet.

These gym memes are for people who need extra motivation.

Lifting isn't a phase; it's a lifestyle. I have a pet theory that there are two groups of gym users: the cardio divas and the lifting bros . Of course, these groups have some overlap. Very few people who attend the gym regularly only do cardio or weights. However, I feel like the weight lifters make going to the gym way more of their personality than the cardio girlies do. No judgment because I totally get why! Gaining takes a lot of upkeep that can kind of take over your life. You have to buy…

Y'all really like to sweat?

I blame genetics

It's all about gains

Ah, the gym . A wonderful and, depending on who you are, terrifying place. Gyms are inherently frightening. I remember my first experience. Surrounded by fit and healthy adults who clearly knew what they were doing. I, of course, was visibly lost and in terrible shape. It wasn’t until I realized that absolutely no one cares what anyone else is doing at the gym that I began to feel comfortable. The gym habitat contains a wide range of creatures. People looking for a healthy dose of movement, car…
