My gym crush once asked what music I listen to when I train. I said ‘hip-hop’… but the truth is, my playlist is just Beyoncé on repeat

My gym crush once said ‘nice shoes.’ I’ve been wearing the same pair every session since. Even if they stink.😭

I thought my gym crush was waving at me, so I waved back like a clown… but he was just calling the trainer. Haven’t recovered.

I followed my crush’s workout routine for a whole week just to ‘bump into them.’ Now my legs are finished and my doctor says rest. Love is painful, hey

TIP FOR THE DAY ❤️
Sometimes wear cologne to gym, not to cover sweat… but because you know crush crush will be there.

My gym crush spotted me one day while I was struggling with the bench press. I nearly fainted – not from the weight, but from the fact that he touched my hand. Since then, I add extra plates just hoping he’ll come help again.

I didn’t join the gym to lose weight, I joined because of one guy I saw on my first day. Every time he trains, I suddenly ‘need’ that same machine. Three months later, I know his whole routine… but he doesn’t even know my name. 😂

💅 BEAUTY BEFORE BURPEES 💅

The ladies pull through with lashes, nails, fresh wigs, and edges laid like it’s groove night. The gym literally turns into a salon showcase. One burpee? Nah. One boomerang by the squat rack? Definitely.
