Anyone who spends any amount of time at the gym has seen these people before. Thanks to the Internet ,you don’t even have to actually go to the gym to have the chance to see them. The Internet brings us all kinds of things we really don’t want to see but that’s the main avenue people take today to share themselves with the world. Unfortunately, it allows us to have access to some very bizarre photos like the ones you’re about to see. Gym selfies aren’t necessarily a bad thing if they are done with a purpose and at least a tiny bit of thought is put into them. Sadly, you will see that a lot of these selfies are taken out of sheer conceitedness and it clearly shows. Some of them make absolutely no sense at all and you’ll just be left wondering “why?” Then again, others will disturb you. You have been warned; once you see them, you can’t unsee them. You might want to cancel your gym membership after seeing these. Then again, you might just want to run out and get one right away!

15. Before Hulk Was Hulk And Bulk Was Nowhere To Be Found

Here you have the perfect example of a “before” mirror selfie. I’m hoping “before” at least. You see them all the time on television and in magazines. Someone is taking part in some kind of weight loss/muscle building program and there is always the shocking “before” photo taken and then their incredible transformation afterward. It’s clear this guy has nowhere to go but up, however with his half smile you shouldn’t have too much confidence in him. If you are looking for the next Incredible Hulk to be his “after” photo, chances are very good you are going to be pretty disappointed. But hey, who says people can’t dream right?

14. These Boots Are Made For Lifting

There are so many things wrong with this failed gym selfie that it’s hard to figure out where to start. First of all, those shorts just can’t be good for working out, or at least not for the people working out around her. They are made for one reason and one reason only and that is to get people to stare at her. It looks like she has done some great work on her quads, hams and glutes but it isn’t a good look to put them in shorts that are so tight. The pose she decided to use for her selfie makes her look a bit deformed and did you see those shoe boots? Is she working out on the moon?

13. When One Shot Just Won’t Do

This woman is pretty scary for a lot of reasons. First of all, she is completely ripped. You have to give credit where credit is due. She has definitely put in the work and it clearly shows. On the other hand, is this really the look a girl should be striving for? If you are going to be getting into an alley fight anytime soon, you might want to stop by the gym where she works out. She definitely looks like she can handle her own and have your back too. Speaking of back, why not get the back selfie while you’re at it? Two is always better than one, right?

12. Can This Be True Love?

The couple who works out together stays together right? This couple decided to use the gym for a photo opportunity instead of what it should really be used for. She actually looks like she is in pretty good shape and by the look on her face, she seems to have a sense of humor too. She has to because her boyfriend, on the other hand, doesn’t look like he has made much progress if any by working out. She has some potential for development but he should probably stick to taking the pictures. He should also give some thought to staying behind the camera instead of in the shot.

11. Is That A Dumbell??

All too often mirror selfies at the gym turn out to be pictures that never should have been taken in the first place, let alone put up on the Internet for the entire world to see. Here we have a perfect example of that. This photo looks more like a kid who wanted a picture of himself holding a dumbbell to impress the girls in the neighborhood. It certainly isn’t a picture taken after a rigorous workout and it appears the amount of weight he is curling is not very impressive. No word on if the local ladies were impressed or not, but we are going to go out on a limb and say no.

10. Where is everyone else? 

Who would consider this a failed gym selfie? Well, pretty much anyone who is serious about working out. For this woman, the gym is nothing more than a photo opportunity to let the world know how amazingly fit she is. While it may be a fail in terms of not setting the workout world on fire, I highly doubt that anyone at the gym watching her had any problems with it at all. But where exactly is everyone? Why is she the only one there? It is definitely dedication to stick around and actually work out when just about everyone else decided to stay home. She might be good for enrolment though, so they should probably stick her out in the front where potential new members can see her!

9. Ripped & Tatted

OK, obviously nobody here is paying any attention to what this guy is doing. If you are looking for a great failed selfie gym pic, this just might be one of the top five of all time. Yes, we understand that sometimes an adjustment might need to be made but that wouldn’t happen if he wore some shorts that actually fit him. Then again, he is just probably wanting to show off as much of his abdominal section as he possibly can. Wow, dude, go into the bathroom for this shot. He clearly didn’t put a lot of thought into this selfie. At least, that’s what we are going with. I don’t want to believe that this was at all planned out ahead of time!

8. A Helping Hand – Literally

What’s a good selfie without a little bit of cleavage right? Well, in most cases it’s better if it appears naturally and all by itself. Here you can see that this woman obviously wasn’t happy with the amount she was showing, so she decided to lend herself a helping hand, literally. Who can blame her for wanting a little bit more? There doesn’t seem to be anyone else around so who is it hurting, right? It’s always a good idea if you let the cleavage do what the cleavage is going to do. If you are going to help it out, don’t make it so obvious.

7. I Use My Heels For Work, So Why Not For Workout?

When you go to the gym to get in a good workout, you never really know what you’ll see. It’s becoming much like a trip to Walmart in terms of you never really know what you’ll come across that day. Here you see a woman who has her own sense of style when it comes to workout attire. Sure – everything from the ankles up looks to be pretty much normal. However, below the ankles is a much different story. She obviously is practicing wearing them but one really has to wonder how exactly she works the leg press machine. One broken heel be could be disastrous in that scenario.

6. I Got Sidetracked With My Selfie And Lost Count Of My Reps

If you ever want to talk about a failed gym selfie that could cause serious harm, you are looking at it right here. Nothing good is going to come out of this at all. For one thing, the stance for her lift is very bizarre and when you lift dumbbells up over your head, you really need to have some balance. It’s always dangerous if you drop them, but she does not seem to even be paying attention to anything but herself in the mirror. This was not thought out at all, and we can only hope that nothing bad happened after the photo was snapped.

5. Special Delivery…Yeah NOT

People who go to the gym spend a lot of time talking about the things that women wear to work out in. Some people say that they wear way too little and do this to gain some attention. If you have ever been to a gym, you can’t really deny that it happens. However, not enough people talk about what the men wear. This is a case of spandex clearly having a limit. Sometimes men’s attire can be extremely disturbing and quite distracting. One look here will show you exactly what we mean. Is it considered a failed selfie if your junk is sticking out very obviously in the picture and you know it!

4. Team What’s going on back there?

Well, what can you say about this one? She is obviously extremely proud of the wedgy she is sporting and who can blame her? It looks like most of her workout was done getting into those pants so maybe some kudos should be given for that effort. But what is up with the ’80s leggings? From the smile on her face, she obviously likes what she sees in the reflection. Maybe she just wants to see what her neck tattoo looks like backwards. This is a failed selfie of major proportions. It looks like it’s probably at least a little uncomfortable but she has a smile on her face so maybe it feels good.

3. Let’s Compare Backsides, Shall We?

For some reason, people who are full of themselves always manage to find the time to stop their workout and take a selfie. There are plenty of occasions where you wonder why the picture was taken in the first place and here is a good example of that. These two clearly did not come to the gym to work out. They must have been drawn in by the large mirrors and big dumbbells. With all of that empty gym equipment around them, all they could think to do was to take a photo of their backside. I just wonder what their conversation was leading up to this backside selfie.

2. Friends Stand Together Forever, No Matter How Long It Takes

These two friends are posing for this selfie at the gym but obviously only one of them has ever been there before. The kid in the tank top looks like he has been to the gym at least a few times in his life while his buddy looks like this may just be his first trip ever. I guess that’s why he took the selfie – to forever memorialize his first trip to the gym. That’s the only excuse for this photo that really makes any sense at all. If either one of them were smart, they would have deleted it before the world was able to see it.

1. Yeah Sure, You See This All The Time At The Gym

Wow, what can you say about this group of women gathering around the mirror to take this selfie shot? Their makeup and hair are done to perfection because that is what you do when you go to the gym and sweat yourself silly during a workout. Also, their gym attire is simply spot on. I wonder if they called each other up to coordinate their outfits. And exactly how did this group get to talk about taking this selfie and who was going to get to pose on the ball and who would have to stand. I did notice all of their heads fit in the photo and that is very surprising.
