Running may not be your favourite, but laughing through gym memes is always a win. This collection celebrates those moments we all know too well—like using a machine wrong, realizing someone’s using your favourite bench, or pretending stretching counts as a workout.

Warning: may cause ab soreness from excessive laughter.
