If you thought muscle jokes were some kind of power jokes, think again, because what I actually meant here were literal muscles. The ones we often forget to train in the gym. It’s okay, we’ve all been there… multiple times. But whether you keep promising yourself you’ll start working out next Monday or actually do plan the rest of your day around scheduled gym sessions, you will definitely appreciate some fitness jokes.
Jokes about fitness can be a great motivation. Everything seems much easier and more pleasant if you can have a good laugh about it. And let’s be honest, there are plenty of situations in the gym that ask for creating some exercise jokes.
Even if you have never been to the gym before (it’s okay, I get it), working out jokes and gym puns might be the reason you break that habit and actually sign up for a session. Personally, I am not the biggest gym rat you’ll find, being more of a swimming pool/dancing cardio person, but each time I realize a trip to the gym is inevitable, finding a bit of fitness humor does help a lot.
So before you talk yourself into your next workout or if you genuinely enjoy fitness and exercise, I suggest you take a look at the jokes we collected for this article. And don’t forget to let us know in the comments about your gym habits.
