This Tumblr thread called out the impacts of movies in terms of fueling unrealistic physical standards, when it comes to fitness. It addresses how bodybuilding culture can manifest in convincing people that they should look a certain way (or that it'd be nice to), when in fact those very images are of folks that are sometimes severely dehydrated. 

These spin class fitness bullies were using social media to shame a person who was just trying to get their workouts in, so that person decided to use social media to revenge right back at them. A solid and satisfying story. Take that bullies. 

This woman asked the people of Reddit whether or not she was the jerk for getting a single mother, personal trainer fired from her gym. The answer is absolutely in the context on this one. Turns out the personal trainer was taking pictures of obese people working out at the gym, and then posting them on her Instagram account. What kind of self-loathing and senseless p.o.s. pulls a stunt like that? The gym is better off without her, and it sounds like she needs to seek out some help of her own. 

These spin class fitness bullies sound like a couple detestable jerks. The fact that they end up losing access to the studio, AND losing their jobs/side hustle is just the kind of righteous, successful revenge that we love to celebrate back here at Fail Blog. The original thread can be found here.

It's easy to become a doctor or a lawyer, but have you ever considered the dedication and skill it takes to hold 10 eggs in one hand? Yeah, take that, working professionals. Anyway here are people doing impressive, weird and specific things that most people would be hard pressed to find themselves doing. In a similar vein, here are times godlike people defied the odds to stick the landing.

Us humans have a knack for willingly throwing ourselves into terribly dangerous situations with heavy weights. To say that these gym rats were tempting fate would almost be a vast understatement. 

Tough call on this one....who do you think was in the wrong? Should she have just gotten off the American Airlines flight without putting up a fight; or did the crew of flight attendants themselves overstep?

The folks back over at Fox report that firefighters were called into a gym in Worms, Germany to help free an idiot and his junk from a 5.5lb weight. Apparently it took a grinder and a hydraulic saw to do the job. The fire department went ahead and shared the pic of the weight all broken up, after the mission was accomplished. Naturally, it's since gone viral; and everyone has tons of hilarious questions about the bizarre occurrence...

This fitness blog managed to cut out a slice of social media spotlight, and truly, found fleeting relevancy in the worst way possible. If their goal was to get our attention, they definitely didn't fail on that account. One does not address the everyday pizza-loving human on Twitter (a venue already prone to rage-ridden outbursts/tweet reacts); and tell them they shouldn't enjoy their doughy gift of the gods.
