We're willing to bet you've had a mishap at the gym yourself, so just be thankful it wasn't caught on camera.
Keep reading for 26 of the funniest pictures ever taken at the gym:

1. This Pup Napping
Imagine walking into the gym and this is the first thing you see. If it were us, we'd go and lay down next to the dog and make a new friend! After all, we've never met a dog we didn't immediately want to cuddle and be friends with. We wonder if he went to the gym on his own, or if his owner took him along for the day.
2. This Woman Working Out in a Dress
Props to this woman who took some time out of her day to lift weights. It doesn't seem like she had time to change out of her dress, but we love the dedication! She's the perfect example that women truly can do it all. We wonder if she simply forgot her clothes or didn't feel like changing.
3. This Dude Drinking a Coke and Napping on the Floor
First of all, if you're going to the gym, it's pretty common that you're aiming to live a healthy lifestyle. Drinking a can of sugary coke is something you wouldn't think to do, but this guy went full send! He must have had a sugar crash and passed out on the floor.
4. This Guy Rocking a Funny Helmet
This helmet is one interesting way to wear a face covering in the midst of a pandemic. To us, it seems like it may be a bit overboard, but to each their own! We're wondering if it was hard to breathe under that big thing—there's no way we would be able to do it!
5. This Girl Wearing a Dress and Heels on the Treadmill
Wearing a dress and heels is no easy feat, but to do it on the treadmill seems next to impossible. This girl looks like she was on her way to the club instead of the gym. Maybe she double-booked herself and didn't want to skip out on either social opportunity!
6. This Guy Who Fell Asleep While Lifting
We get it… the gym can be exhausting. But if you're so tired that you have to take a quick nap at the gym, it makes us think you should have stayed home. We feel bad for this guy, he must have either had a really bad day or lifted way to heavy of weights.
7. This Person Who's Over It
If you're into pilates, yoga or anything of the sort, you know just how tiring it can be. You do small movement that hurt like crazy, so we totally get why this person looks like he's just completely over it. He must have reached his breaking point and given up.
8. This Interesting Pair Dressed Up Like Pokemon and Pikachu
It looks like this pair decided to dress up as Pokemon and Pikachu for their day at the gym. Why? We have no idea. Maybe they missed Pokemon Go, or they simply liked the way they looked. One thing is certain though—they're majorly obsessed with Pokemon.
9. This Guy Who Doesn't Know What He's Doing
Yoga balls can be used for all sorts of workouts, but we'll be honest when we say we have no idea what he's doing, and we don't think he knows, either! Maybe he's resting his abs or he's found a new workout that requires minimal effort with prime results.
10. This Dude Who's Not Doing it Right
We're 99% positive this dude is not using that machine correctly. Using a machine wrong at the gym is embarrassing, so if you don't know how to use one, either ask for help or wait for someone else to give it a go! Hopefully they have more brain cells than this guy.
11. This Guy Who's Begging for Attention
What is it with guys laying on top of yoga balls? It's seriously odd, but we understand the hype. It's probably super comfy! But this dude? Why is he balancing it on top of the bench? It looks like a disaster is just around the corner and no one is going to help him.
12. These Creepy Furry Slippers
We're all for wearing comfy clothes and shoes around the house, but when you bring them out in public? That's where we draw the line. Not only did this person wear these bear-like slippers to the gym, but they left them out in the open! We can't even begin to fathom what was going through this person's mind.
13. This Man Who Has No Clue What He's Gotten Himself Into
What is it with people and machines at the gym? This guy looks like he's scared for his life and has no idea what he's just gotten himself into. We bet he's trying to think a way out of the situation, but from our end, it doesn't look too promising.
14. This Candy Bar Found by the Weights
The last thing anyone wants to see at the gym is a candy bar. Not only is it a total temptation for those of us who love candy, but it's rude! This person didn't even have the decency to throw away the chocolate bar he was eating in between lifting weights. Hopefully he didn't get any chocolate on the machine!
15. This Old Man Who Probably Needs Help Getting Down
We are thoroughly impressed that this old man even managed to get himself into this position. But we're pretty sure he's going to need some help getting down from there. Typically the machine is used for doing pull-ups and the like, so we're wondering what he was attempting to do.
16. This Woman Who Can't Wait to Eat Watermelon
Not only is it weird to bring food to the gym, but when you bring an entire watermelon? Yeah, that's just strange. Not to mention the fact that the woman is holding a humongous knife! We're hoping the gym staff didn't let her enter the building.
17. This Person Who Left Their Gross Underwear in the Locker Room
Is it just us, or does this pair of white underwear totally look like it belongs to an old man? Yuck. If you're going to be changing in the locker room where people are constantly walking in and out, keep your stuff tidy. This person clearly didn't care to do the decent thing!
18. This Person Who's Not Wearing Shoes in the Bathroom
The only bathroom where it's acceptable to be barefoot is the private one in your home. So to say we're grossed out by this person who's not wearing shoes in the gym bathroom is a total understatement. Gyms are full of germs and sweat, so we're willing to bet the bathroom floors aren't any different.
19. This Cat Who's Lifting More Than He Can Handle
How did a cat even get into the gym? We're actually very impressed that this animal thought it would be able to lift such a heavy weight. It looks so cute under the barbell! Cats seriously think they're invincible, so we understand why they're said to have nine lives.
20. This Guy Who Wanted Prime Parking at the Gym
We get it, finding parking isn't always the most fun task, but if you have to walk a bit out of you way so be it. This person clearly was in a hurry and tried to get prime parking but somehow ended up inside of the gym instead. Hopefully there were no injuries!
21. This Little Girl Doing Her Homework
How adorable is this little girl who's doing her homework? It looks to us like her mom is in the background getting in a quick workout. Props to her! If it were us and we had to watch a child, we probably would be too lazy to head to the gym and burn calories.
22. This Gal Showing Off Her Sweaty and Smelly Feet
We've said it before and we'll say it again, keep your shoes on at the gym! This girl looks like she's in the mat section, aka a place where people do sit-ups, push-ups and the like. You know what that means? They put their heads down on those mats! Yuck!
23. This Guy Who Forgot His Shoes
Don't you hate it when you're pumped to head over to the gym, only to realize you forgot your athletic shoes? That would have stopped us from going, but not this guy. He decided to work out in his socks, so we're hoping he didn't stub his toes or drop anything on his feet.
24. This Person Who Didn't Wipe Off Their Sweat
It's not uncommon to sweat at the gym, in fact, it's encouraged! Most people bring sweat towels with them and clean off the equipment they've been on, but this person clearly didn't have a care in the world. They left their sweaty butt print on this machine for the next person to clean up.
25. This Person Walking Around Barefoot in the Gym Bathroom
This is unfortunately not an uncommon sight to see at a gym—people walking around barefoot in the restrooms. It's so unsanitary and plain gross. We're hoping that whoever this person was scrubbed their feet and took a really long shower after this!
26. This Person Who Didn't Clean Up Their Hair in the Gym Shower
If you were to take a shower at a friend's house, would you ever leave a gross wad of hair in the drain? Of course not! We have no idea what was going through this person's head when they decided to leave their disgusting wad of hair in the gym shower.
