15 Funniest Workout Fails

All that prep for this? (via @gymfails / X)

Looks like all the prepping and hyping up didn’t work too well here.

Treadmill Fail (via @patrox_13 / X)

Maybe this person should have read the instruction manual before deciding to run sideways on the treadmill.

Workouts that sting (via @eraytee7 / X)

This man had no idea he was about to get a back workout while training his chest.

Forgetting the gym locks (via @Failaround / X)

Note to self - never forget to use locks when loading a lot of plates on your weights.

Stretching disaster (via @ladbible / X)

It can be helpful to eat before a workout, but maybe not too much or anything too oily.

Too strong for their own good (via @_Indiana_Bones / X)

Did the handle just come off, or did this man surpass his own strength barrier in seconds during the workout?

Suboptimal deadlift (via @gymfails / X)

Clearly this wasn’t the transformation this person was hoping for - ending up looking like a turtle standing on two legs.

Late night training (via @Mrwelshy92 / X)

They will tell you to sacrifice on even sleep if it means meeting your fitness goals and staying motivated, but maybe the sleep doesn't need to be little to none!

Celebration gone wrong (via @ShareBear1776 / X)

Looks like this person may have celebrated too early, as this turned into quite the expensive deadlift!

Poor stuffed animal (via @GrangureVisions / X)

Now, what did that poor stuffed animal do to deserve getting completely squished by the weights like this?

Oops moment! (via @gymfails / X)

It seems this person took the phrase "this workout will blow your wig off" a little too seriously!

Success starts with failure (via @AyoolaMatthee / X)

Talk about learning and seeking happiness from your failures, doing it even at an Olympic level!

High on workouts (via @amillennialmvp / X)

Can’t tell if the woman is working out on the machine or if the machine is lifting her!

Almost perfect (via @collegegymnews_ / X)

Oh no, everything was perfect to a T except the landing, which ended up giving us a laugh-out-loud moment!

Too many things going wrong (via @gymfails / X)

Every time you replay this, you’ll find something new that's wrong in the video.

Well, now you know - when you have a workout fail, you either get badly hurt or end up on a meme page. So be careful in the gym, folks!
