Greek gods and muscle mommies align—this one is for the gym rats. We'll assume you are already familiar with the gym terminology, so we won't be making a glossary for that. Gym humor is not for the weak because nothing can hurt a gym rat. Maybe sharing a $3 protein bar with someone. But other than that, gym memes and funny lifting memes didn't just appear the easy way. Funny gym memes are a direct outcome of battling demons every day, being rejected by our gym crush, and being disappointed with eating foods with low amounts of protein.

Is that the life we have always dreamed of? No, but would we ever exchange it for something else? Also no. Funny fitness memes (and gains) are what keeps us going. And an insane amount of caffeine—forgot to mention. (Painfully) relatable training memes are what we feed on and what keep us showing up every single day despite the muscle pain, knee aches, or brutal snow storms. Also, scrolling through funny training memes is way cheaper than going to therapy. And as for someone who keeps splurging on high-protein snacks and gym wear, we opt for fitness memes as a more affordable option to deal with our problems. And thank the muscle gods of the r/GymMemes subreddit for the never-ending flow of funny gym content. Wish you the best of gains.

Below, we've compiled some of the most hilarious gym memes we've found on Reddit and other nooks and crannies of the internet. Saw a gym meme you can relate to, and which made you laugh? Make sure to give it an upvote. But don't laugh too much because you might lose your precious gains. Unless you've officially ended your bulking season, if so, get shredded by laughing as much as your lungs allow you to!

This reminds me of saying in my house full of theater dorks: "anything can be a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough"

I used to have the composite toe boots, stronger than a steel cap but won’t bend and sever toes. Plus it made it so they were anti-ESD so that was a plus in my field (and no static shock in winter!)

Earphones in, music turned off, hoping they finish the argument before your lungs fail.

Alternative POV: Yellow is my phone for some reason disconnecting from blue tooth and blaring it to the rest of the poor patrons

Usually they just sit there with their headphones in and ignore you, if they do respond you get "I've got another 2 sets" and sit there for another 10 minutes.

I disagree. Strengthening your core (both front and back) does stabilize your back and alleviate back pain.

I don't think any gyms are open on 1 January... At least not where I live, here in Canada.

When I had my Olympic weights delivered, I opened the door to help the guy and he drove off. Had to phone the courier company and get him to come back. He was furious that he had to lift them, heaviest was 25kg which isn't heavy by courier standards.

I love/hate it! Some days I only want to do cardio other days I only want to lift. Everyday I do both... it's called balance! hee hee

I’m confused. The counting during sets gets to 9 even though there are 10 numbers. It should at least get to 23 even with the numbers in the wrong order. I get that I don’t actually get it but I believe 100% that I’m right.

It depends on the bar. If it has optics, bottled beer, cocktails and beer pumps, the longer you spend there, the less likely the squats will hurt and you won’t need a pad to make it easier.

I know very overweight people who are massively stronger than I am. But then again I’m 5ft tall with a gym allergy.
