There’s something about gym memes that make even the most brutal workout feel bearable. Like your favorite lifting playlist, this meme collection delivers the perfect pump of humor. We’ve rounded up the kind of jokes only fellow gym rats will get—because explaining why your squat face looks like that isn’t as funny as a meme that just gets it.
Think of it as mental pre-workout: just enough energy to drag yourself to leg press without crying (too much). Laugh it off, flex on, and share with your swole-mates.
