It is human nature to laugh at newcomers’ hilarious attempts to better themselves through physical fitness… It’s sad, but true. If you don’t believe us, go to the gym at the start of the year and witness the users and abusers who simply don’t know what they’re doing. If you don’t have time to witness such atrocious feats in your gym, don’t worry, we have compiled a list of our most cherished gym fails. We could have spent hours on YouTube in an endless rabbit hole laughing at the misfortune of all the Johnny-Try-Hards who are too clueless, but far too ambitious and extended this list to the one-hundred top fails. But, alas, we have condensed it down to 10 of our favorite fails. From failed box jumps to treadmill missteps, here is our list of epic gym fails.
