gym

In the pursuit of physical fitness, it's best to know your limits. If you don't lift safely, you could seriously injure yourself or do what this guy did. The embarrassment haunts him to this day. He shouldn't feel that bad, cause this is not the weirdest thing that has happened in a gym.

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. 

Just in case you needed some reminders that the gym life ain't all it's cracked out to be. These people look like they're having the best time, right?

Those crazy people that actually work at the gym are there to help us. Who'd have thought. 

That joke was too clever for her own good. Fair to say the little jest soared right on over his head. 

Cause if you skip leg day you might miss all this weirdness. Whether it's people using machines catastrophically wrong, lazier folks just setting up camp or some sinister looking doppelgängers, the gym can be more exciting than we ever imagined.

These 20 people came clean about the perks, drawbacks and dirty secrets that come with working at a gym.

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...

Bring on all the cringe.
