People forget I started on TV as a 7-stone 12-year-old – I’m bound to have changed. I’ve just grown up and filled out. I haven’t been hammering it in the gym, and I haven’t been thinking, ‘Right, I need to look good.’
Kelvin Fletcher

The great thing about working out at a gym is that if you put in effort, you get very obvious results. The same should be true of college. A professor’s job is to teach students how to see their minds growing in the same way they can see their muscles grow when they look in a mirror.
Randy Pausch
I love boxing, and I try to mix it up as much as I can. Boxing makes you kind of tight, so it’s really good to mix that with barre, pilates, or something that’ll stretch you out and make you longer. I’m not the person that loves to be in the gym so much. I like to mix it up as much as possible, otherwise I’ll get bored.
Elsa Hosk
I used to bring my sketchbook to gym class and doodle, because I am a very uncoordinated athlete.
Kate Voegele
I freak out if I go a little too long without being in the gym. For a long time it was all about getting the weight off because I was 240 pounds at my heaviest, and now I’m around 175, so the majority of that weight loss was due to diet and exercise.

Phyllis McGinley
I want more muscles! I go to the gym three or four times a week with a personal trainer. I can afford that now. I can’t put on weight though, no matter how much I eat.

Patrick Stump
Well, I’m not a natural gym person myself, anyway.
Ray Stevenson
It wasn’t until my late twenties that I learned that by working out I had given myself a great gift. I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can’t be as bad as that workout.
Henry Rollins
Dad always enjoyed sports, and he decided to join a Guadalajara gym to learn how to box. What he didn’t realize was that they didn’t teach boxing at that particular gym – they taught ‘lucha libre.’

Tom Baker
I used to work out in the gym a lot when I was younger. I was a competition body builder when I was 16 or something crazy like that for a short period of time. So, the gym is quite familiar and I know what I’m doing there.

Gigi Hadid

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.
Muhammad Ali
Going to the gym is great for your body, but it’s also great for your mind.
Rory McIlroy
Manipulate your diet until you find something that works for you. I think people get bogged down with trying to go to the gym and doing too much cardio and lifting too much weight. Really, if you’re eating well and eating at the right times, and consuming the right things, it’s really helpful.
Nick Youngquest
I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself. I didn’t have to go to the gym for all those years, all the hours wedded to the iron game, as we call it.

I exercise everyday. I swim, I bike, I run and I go to the gym.

Music is not like sports, where you can go and do a hundred reps in a gym and come out and be all buffed up.

I lead a very active lifestyle. When I am not working, I enjoy snowboarding in winter. I golf and swim in the summer months. However, trying to find the time to exercise when I am traveling is quite a challenge. I find myself working out at hotel gyms quite regularly – just so that I can keep up with my training.
Lee Byung-hun
For me, time is everything, because from the time you wake up you have to have your heart and soul in this. You have to work through the day, you have to go to the gym, you have to eat, and yet you have to work as fast as possible to get home and get rest before the next day begins again.
Usain Bolt
You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.

Charles S. Dutton
Exercise is important, but exercise in a gym is not important. Go and take a walk outside. Skip the umpteenth coffee date and go for a hike instead. Take the stairs. Walk your errands.
Daphne Oz
A lot of us lead relatively sedentary lifestyles, so you have to motivate yourself and force yourself to go to the gym and do active things. The folks that have figured it out, found that thing that they love and made it a big part of their lives, it’s easy for them to stay in shape.
Randy Couture
Behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these didn’t come out of nowhere.

I’m simple. I love hiking, going to the gym, doing some simple stuff. I love being outdoors, I love bike riding. Just stuff that’s fun!
Lea Michele
Rather than go to the gym, I would prefer to do martial arts because the time goes by quicker

Samantha Stosur
If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in ‘Richard II’ on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am.

I do Ashtanga yoga three times a week, and I run a couple of times a week, too. I really like yoga; I enjoy the actual doing of it, so it doesn’t feel like the agony of the gym felt like to me.
Julianne Moore
When I first moved to L.A., I didn’t have a lot of money to join a gym or take classes, so I improvised. My sister and I went to the library and looked over their DVD collection and discovered Neena and Veena, these Egyptian twins who have a whole series of belly dancing routines. We did them all.
AnnaLynne McCord
Honestly my style sense, I guess, started in high school when I was a volleyball player. That was just what I wore: leggings every single day with my sports bra so I didn’t have to change into it in the girls’ gym locker room and that’s kind of how it started.
Gigi Hadid
I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

I also think you have less separation if you are fuller. If you go to the gym and pump your arms up they are bigger because of the blood volume, the fullness. But the separation is not so defined.
Dorian Yates
The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Scott Hamilton
You know, I looked at my face in the mirror this morning, and I like being old. My face has more content and when I train in the gym now, I am not training to be strong or handsome – just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Mia: I can’t do this, I’m a girl. Gym Teacher Harbula: What am I? A duck?

I get bored doing the same activity over and over. In any one week, I could do a Pilates class, a yoga class, go to a gym, like a pump class, or do weights and then go for a run. Each day, I like to change it up a bit.
Jessica McNamee
I try to walk at least three times a week for 40 minutes or an hour. I do it at the gym on the treadmill, or I go hiking outside.

My sport is biking. I’m not much of a gym person, but I like being outside – hiking, canoeing, camping.

Carmen Electra
I like reading, going to the gym, hanging out with my family. That’s it.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers
I had a guy come up to me once in the gym when I’m training arms and tell me that I should do curls this way. I looked at his arms and they were about fifteen inches. That would be like me walking up to Tom Platz and telling him how to squat!
Lee Priest
I meditate every day for between ten to twenty minutes. Every morning, I work out and go to the gym for an hour. I pray to the architect that designed me. I’m grateful.
John Feldmann
If I can be an advocate for people to get healthy that’s good, and it’s not about just needing to go to the gym.

Since the inception of Gym Class in 1997, every member has had another musical outlet, if not three or four.
Travie McCoy
If you think of exercise as a 60-minute commitment 3 times a week at the gym, you’re missing the point completely. If you think that going on a diet has something to do with nutrition, you don’t see the forest through the trees. It is a lifestyle. I know it sounds cliche, but you have to find things you love to do.
Brett Hoebel
Going to the gym wouldn’t be on my list of favorite things to do.
Kate Moss
Oh, this shouldn’t be allowed. There should be a rule which says that people you’ve met in the gym should never meet you in real life.

The one broken window that permanently wouldn’t roll up had destroyed her perfectly curled blond prom-hair, and by the time we got to the gym she looked like Marie Antoinette with bedhead.
Kami Garcia
I was blessed to grow up on a farm, and when you’re a farm boy, exercise is part of your lifestyle. Like it or not, that environment makes you work out. On the farm, nature is your gym. You walk and run and swim and have to do a lot of work with animals too.
Cesar Millan
What people don’t realize I have put 160 kids through school. I had a gym full of children. Some of those kids slept in the gym. Some of those kids lived in the gyms. I went to those kids schools. I think with the training, I can’t make a fighter have that passion that I have, and it takes years to develop a fighter.
Ann Wolfe
Boys and girls hid in the library stacks or behind the gym and flew at each other with no promise of love or even kindness, tasting one another in clumsly attempts to steal pleasure before they could be hurt or hated.
Laura Whitcomb
Every time you have a carrot instead of a cookie, every time you go to the gym instead of going to the movies, that’s a costly investment in your health. But how much you want to invest is going to depend on how much longer you expect to live in the future, even if you don’t make those investments.
Emily Oster
If it’s a healthy day, I’ll head to the gym, then have a steak salad at the cafe next door.

Sylvester Stallone
I am always in the gym sparring. I look at every fight kind of like a sparring match.
Chris Weidman
Starting writing is stressful and scary and hard, but also, it’s just like going to the gym. You’re just stiff and weird, and you can’t do it as well.

Bob Harper
Math is like going to the gym for your brain. It sharpens your mind.
Danica McKellar
I’m not like a religious exerciser. My parents go down to the gym everyday now, and I’m the one that stays upstairs. But I definitely need to start exercising.
Mark Indelicato
I work out a lot – five, six, days a week. I take yoga classes and go to the gym – I love doing it and I have the time to do it. Not everybody has that option.
Nico Tortorella
I enjoy working out. That is important for me. Whether it’s a hike with my dog or an hour at the gym, I like to maintain an active lifestyle.
Cara Santana
I feel like I’m really blessed and lucky that I have a very good social life outside of the gym, and I have a really amazing family. My parents are so supportive. I have a younger brother and two younger sisters, and they’re really awesome. So I feel like I get the best of both worlds.
Aly Raisman
I do not go to the gym. I do not train. I am not that careful about what I eat. I cannot give you any advice about keeping fit. The best advice I can give is choose your parents wisely.
Harrison Ford
I’d rather take a beating sometimes than get in that gym every morning. Anyone who gets up that early and says he likes it is a goddamned liar. The only good thing about it is that when I’m finished, I look at myself in the mirror and say, “Jack, you’ve done it again!
Jack LaLanne
Organic food is the best for you, and I’m eating the best, a lot of fresh vegetables. I also keep myself hydrated. It’s all made a big difference to my performance in the gym.
Amir Khan
I wanted a NBA basketball gym at my house and that’s what I worked hard for and I was able to achieve that.
Terrell Owens
Work, work, work. I like to keep myself busy. I start to get a little stir-crazy during downtime. That’s when I turn to working out – running, hitting the gym, etc.
Raul Castillo
I don’t go to the gym because I don’t have time, but I do pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.
Kate Winslet
There’s no reason to stereotype yourself. Doing math is like going to the gym – it’s a workout for your brain and it makes you smarter.
Danica McKellar
Each workout is like a brick in a building, and every time you go in there and do a half-ass workout, you’re not laying a brick down. Somebody else is.
Dorian Yates
There’s this certain caliber of dancing I was striving for when I was younger, and it’s very hard for me to go back and just do it for fun. But I take all other kinds of classes: I take jazz classes, modern classes, and I love doing that instead of going to the gym. The gym is not very much fun.
Summer Glau
I’ve never changed my life since I was 4 and went to the YMCA with a gym bag. I still have that philosophy. In fact, I still have that gym bag.
Dan Gable
I’m such a contradiction: I eat really healthy, I go to the gym, but then I smoke two or three cigarettes a day, and I smoke other things as well. Overall, I feel really healthy. But sometimes I feel like I’m more sensitive to little things.
Paul Iacono
Over the years, golf has evolved from a leisurely game of stick and ball into a competitive sport for highly skilled athletes. Players not only spend countless hours fine-tuning technique on the course, but also improving strength, stability, and endurance in the gym.
Paige Spiranac
I don’t know what laws of physics are involved, but if you fill a gym with teenagersand tell them to stare at one object, heat is actually produced. I half expected tospontaneously combust.Katrina
Suzanne Selfors
I love exercise but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates and taking dance lessons.
Twiggy
I’m just going to keep working. Spend more days in the gym, as possible. Just trying to get my game up, and just keep playing. And if it’s in God’s will for me to win, then I’ll get it.
Dwight Howard
Nature builds things that are antifragile. In the case of evolution, nature uses disorder to grow stronger. Occasional starvation or going to the gym also makes you stronger, because you subject your body to stressors and gain from them.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I am a gym rat who loves to work out, particularly running, Zumba, yoga, cycling, and kickboxing.
Aprilynne Pike
Knowing that you’re all in for a championship and you have that mindset and feel throughout the group. Every day it’s working towards something. That’s an exciting feeling to know when you walk in the gym, or in the weight room, it’s for a championship.
Patty Mills
Sex keeps me fit and healthy. What can be better than that? It’s not about crazy diets or gym workouts.
Kelly Brook
With fitness, I do Bikrams hot yoga. The gym that I have in my building is amazing. I love to do cardio and weights there.
Shay Mitchell
I’m a gym rat, I have to admit. I live in the gym, and now that I don’t have to get beat up for a living, I can truly enjoy taking care of myself without worrying about breaking my leg or getting paralyzed.
Thomas Jones
You don’t have to go the gym – just walk 10,000 steps a day and you are activating your good genes. But do practise yoga.
Deepak Chopra
If you want to get in shape, go to the #‎ gym every single day, change your clothes and take a shower. If you can do that every single day for a month, pretty soon you’ll start doing something while you’re there.
Seth Godin
Training in God’s gym may hurt sometimes, but He will make us stronger.
Trip Lee
At Milan when I was younger, I worked a lot on the leg press because I’d lost a bit of my natural speed as my body was changing. I was growing too fast for the rest of my body to cope and I had some knee problems. I worked really hard in the gym to regain these fast sprints.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
I’m never sloppy, and I never wear jeans. I don’t work one look in particular, but it’s usually retro – I’m a flea-market freak. And detailed – I’m always very done, even at the gym.
Debi Mazar
I love creating music and television and film. I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that.
Will Smith
I was 160lbs when I started and I went up to 195lbs. There were no steroids. But it was hard work, dedication, hitting the gym. You kind of see it.
Marlon Wayans
When I lifted weights, I didn’t lift just to maintain my muscle tone. I lifted to increase what I already had, to push to a new limit. Every time I worked, I was getting a little better. I kept moving that limit back and back. Every time I walked out of the gym, I was a little better than when I walked in.
Dan Gable
I was hungry and I was looking for a way to better my life. With boxing, I didn’t have to make a team. It wasn’t like baseball or football. I could just walk in the gym and start doing something that I liked.
Tavoris Cloud
Poor form in the gym is caused by insufficient yelling.
Mark Rippetoe
I watch America’s Next Top Model in the gym and go, ‘If I stay an extra 15 minutes, I will look like that girl!’
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Working out makes me feel good. When I don’t work out for a few days, I start feeling grumpy. When I’m at the gym, it wakes me up. My spirits are higher. I just feel happier and more motivated to do things.
Elisabeth Harnois
Back then every small town had a gym, and if itseated more than 2,000 then we’d be interested in playing in it.
Bob Cousy
I didn’t really – at least intellectually and creatively – have a particularly compelling experience in college. But during my junior year, they made the TED talks public. So I started listening to them. They were producing one per day, and I was listening to one per day, every day, at the gym.
Maria Popova
I don’t tend to listen to music in training, except maybe the radio in the gym. I do use music prior to racing though; it helps to fire me up plus it’s good for blocking out the distractions around me.
Chris Hoy
I would like to propose slow cycling. Commute by bike. At a stroke, you remove the need for and absurd cost of public transport. Cycling is almost completely free. There is no longer any need for the gym as you get fit by cycling. And you can go at your own pace.
Tom Hodgkinson
You get as big as possible from becoming as strong as possible. When I started lifting I went into the gym with that ‘how much can I bench, curl, squat , and deadlift?’ attitude. That’s when I discovered how fast my strength could increase, and it made me crazy intense to get even stronger.
Kevin Levrone
My love affairs are just between my office and gym.
Mikhail Prokhorov
Gyms are always packed. The only machine available is the one that simulates the gynecological exam. You know, the Sharon Stone machine.
Jim Gaffigan
Get out and about. Rather than going to the same gym and doing the same thing, it’s a good opportunity to try different things.
Michael Klim
You need good coaches with a good gym that teach you the essentials, like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and pretty much all the stuff that you need to be successful in MMA.
Cain Velasquez
You can either go to the gym because you want to lose weight, or you can go to the gym because you like how it makes you feel when you’re running.
Craig Finn
I’ve never really talked about this, but I would go days without eating. Or maybe I’d have some fruit and then go to the gym for three hours. I knew I had a problem…It was a gradual process but I changed myself.
Lucy Hale
Gym should be illegal. It’s humiliating.
Laurie Halse Anderson
I think fitness and doing gym should be like brushing teeth everyday in the morning as it should come automatically without any excuse.
Sonu Sood
My school friends are really understanding and still want to hang out with me. Ever since I was in sixth grade, I was at the gym every day to work out while my friends were getting their nails done or going to the mall. I used to feel left out, but I don’t anymore.
Aly Raisman
Crosses?” “Definitely” “Why?” “Because they’re evil, soulless, bloodsucking fiends?” “So was my sixth-grade gym teacher, but he wasn’t afraid of a cross.
Rachel Caine
I go into the gym and do 75 pullups, 75 dips, 150 squats, 150 pushups, and then 20 minutes of ab work. Done. It takes an hour; I’m in and out. I sweat the whole time.
Charlie Hunnam
For me to train and get ready for racing, I can’t just sit in the gym all the time and that’s the way it is. Responsibility starts and stops with me. My main gig is grand prix driving, that’s what I do and I need to keep that in the forefront of my mind.
Mark Webber
When I wasn’t killing time in school, I was sparring in the gym or selling crack on the strip.
Curtis Jackson
I love the gym; I love basketball. I’m really passionate about it.
Kyrie Irving
Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There’s something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.
Bill Nye
A lot of times when I’m in the gym, I might not have that energy but I realize what I’m doing it for and it gives me the strength to do one more extra rep, to do one more set or to push even harder, and to not let whatever obstacle is in front of me stop me from reaching my goal.
Dwight Howard
You can go to the gym, lift as many weights as you want, but if you can’t bench press your duvet at fajr then it doesn’t mean anything
Khalid Yasin
If you fail to prepare you prepare to fail.
Donnie Burns
I’ve had boxing gloves on since before I could walk and been in gyms all of my life.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
The diet industry is making a lot of money selling us fad diets, nonfat foods full of chemicals, gym memberships, and pills while we lose a piece of our self-esteem every time we fail another diet or neglect to use the gym membership we could barely afford.
Portia de Rossi
Don’t talk age! Age has nothing to do with it. One of my guys who started out at my gym is 87 now, and he still does ten bench-press reps with a hundred-pound dumbbell in each hand. He’s training to set a leg-pressing record. I put things in the guy’s brain way back when, and now he’ll never get away from it.
Jack LaLanne
Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don’t nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight.
Ronnie Coleman
This is where our obsession with going fast and saving time leads. To road rage, air rage, shopping rage, relationship rage, office rage, vacation rage, gym rage. Thanks to speed, we live in the age of rage.
Carl Honore
I don’t go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just have the appetite of a pigeon.
Colin Farrell
As a striker, you are playing against big defenders. They try to throw you around. I try to play in behind them, and I need power. I know that I have to go to the gym and train. I train all the time.
Robert Lewandowski
Multi-taskers often think they are like gym rats, bulking up their ability to juggle tasks, when in fact they are like alcoholics, degrading their abilities through over-consumption.
Clay Shirky
The older Ive gotten, the more I try to stay out of the gym.
Geoff Stults
I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don’t find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I’ve never had a problem with the way I look. I’d rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
Adele
Men scream and go crazy in the gym. I’m a silent workout partner, but when my adrenaline gets up, I talk trash.
Fergie
I go to the gym five days a week and I have a personal trainer. I am on a strict diet, which is kind of hard to keep up with on the road, but I stick to it as well as I can.
Lou Gramm
One aspect of fast London life I have never understood, for example, is the custom of the gym. Why do people go to gyms?
Tom Hodgkinson
My bike is my gym, my wheelchair, and my church all in one.
Bill Walton
I have a terrible habit of shopping after I go to the gym or hitting eBay.
Edie Campbell
I started mountain-bike riding two years ago, which is much better than riding a stationary bike in the gym. Mountain biking is a total body workout.
Samantha Stosur
My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I’m 42, thank you. I didn’t want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.
Sherri Shepherd
We are cutting things kids like-music, art, and gym classes; stuff that kept me in school. This country can’t survive without you kids. It’s all about you kids.
Tony Danza
There are no shortcuts in life – only those we imagine.
Frank Leahy
If we each get on a treadmill right now, one of two things is going to happen… either you’re going to get off first or I am going to die. Period.
Will Smith
When I give the go ahead, go ahead,” Alyss said, the jungle gym having come to a stop less than a gwormmy-length from her face. What? the four General Doppels cried at once. Run when I say so.
Frank Beddor
I have never been a physically engaged person. Like, I was not an athletic kid. I was the kid who came up with a thousand excuses not to take a gym class. Even now, if I could, I would do all my work from bed.
Lena Dunham
A lot of times I go to the gym and I see people and they don’t know how to work out. There’s no routine or anything like that. I saw a guy who I haven’t seen in five years and the guy looks the same as he did five years ago.
Andre Reed
I train all the time and the weird thing is I’m in the gym with people between 20 and 25 years old and I look in the mirror and I look better than they do and they are young kids – either they haven’t trained hard enough or they aren’t serious enough.
Hulk Hogan
We play in the jungle gym of sexuality until our spirit takes us out into a clear field where we can see the stars, the ten thousand radiances of enlightenment. One of those radiances is the dance of sexuality.
Frederick Lenz
Oh God, I’m awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.
Tavi Gevinson
Health is worth more than learning.
Thomas Jefferson
I work out every day. Mostly it’s free weights and cardio. I don’t do that stuff where they throw logs at you, what’s it called, cross-fit. None of that. Mainly it’s just me in the gym, lifting weights.
Justin Bieber
I exercise at the gym with a trainer. I feel it’s very healthy, very important – important for everybody. I feel it’s good for you. It makes you feel better. It loosens you up a little bit.
Ralph Lauren
Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision.
Muhammad Ali
Instead of going to the gym, I dress in black – a lot more practical and much more fun.
Monica Bellucci
My favorite part about going to the gym used to be leaving.
Michael Cudlitz
For a good workout, I go to At One Fitness in North Hollywood, where my trainer, Jon Allsop, puts me through it all. I like it because it’s a small gym and I’ve known the people for a long time. Jon will have me do cross-training where I’ll lift weights, jump rope, throw around a medicine ball and I never get to stop.
Tim DeKay
I always hate having to use the equipment after these huge buff guys who move, like, the entire rack of plates. Then I get on, and move two plates, you know like: CLANK! CLANK! “I’m the two plate guy!” CLANK! CLANK! “Anyone wanna spot me?” CLANK! CLANK!
Brian Regan
Something that comes to us, some gym shoe that comes to us as a result of child labor from a brutal dictatorship, where people do not have basic freedoms, it wouldn’t bug me to tax the living Dickens out of that thing or even to forbid its importation whatsoever. But that’s a moral question, not an economic question.
P. J. O’Rourke
I work at my life and I cultivate myself and don’t spend six hours in a gym. Some people would say I should but why?
Ian Astbury
The pain of discipline is nothing like the pain of disappointment
Justin Langer
Hitting the gym to release stress is not nearly as effective as hitting the people that cause the stress to begin with.
Alan Garner
I try to stay in shape, I work out in the gym, take my vitamins every day, and I guess maybe I have some good genes, but lately Ive been feeling it. You know, after all these years it does catch up with you. But just for now.
Regis Philbin
There’s not much to do in Atlanta, so the cast went to the gym together, went shopping together, and dinner was always a group thing. It’s that whole summer-camp experience that making movies tends to be anyway.
Timothy Olyphant
One of the big misconceptions about me is that I walk around in mini-skirts and high heels twenty-four seven and go to the gym in heels.
Carmen Electra
I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot.
John Barrowman
You’ll never find me in a gym.
Ellen Hollman
I tend to go with a daytime look, pretty natural, but I always fill in my eyebrows – I hate if I leave the gym and my eyebrows aren’t done; I’m just very uncomfortable with myself.
Olivia Wilde
I grew up in a gym in Miami, the one where Muhammad Ali trained. I had 142 amateur fights and lost three.
Mickey Rourke
I had to get up run in the morning for 2 hours, go to the gym and also get good opponents as sparring partners because I’m a big believer in that how you train is how you will fight at least when it came to me that’s how it worked.
Alexis Arguello
I eat meat. I don’t go to the gym.
Alice Englert
Let the gym be a sanctuary for you to be at peace. Let it calm you and ground you and allow you to appreciate everything around you. Let it also be a place for you to unload and explode with intensity through your training.
Robert Cheeke
I’ve been a member of some good gyms in the past. I love a good spinning class; I love a good aerobics class.
Natalie Dormer
I just loved being in the gym. It was tough at times. Sometimes I wanted to quit, but I’m glad I stuck with it.
Kevin Durant
The only exercise I get is playing sports because I hate the gym. I try to learn to love it.
Paul Dano
Before I had children I always wondered whether their births would be, for me, like the ultimate in gym class failures. And I discovered instead… that I’d finally found my sport.
Joyce Maynard
It’s easy to get four days a week of training in and I don’t spend more than 55-60 minutes in the gym.
Warren Cuccurullo
While the average person is home watching TV, the Leader Without a Title is in the gym getting stronger or at the library getting smarter or at the office getting better (or with their family growing kinder). Make this day count.
Robin Sharma
I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I’m a normal person.
Jamie Lee Curtis
A little backflip (backflips), but it’s not part of Parkour, but i like doing this since i did gym.
David Belle
The word ‘aerobics’ came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we’re going to charge $10 an hour, we can’t call it Jumping up and down.
Rita Rudner
I did quite a bit of running before, but it’s getting really cold so I joined a gym. I do a bit of swimming and I’m starting to do yoga again.
Lara Stone
My mom is a gym teacher, and shes not musically inclined, but she always wanted to help me out with music as best she could.
Annaleigh Ashford
I’ve done films where you have to get in shape for purely vanity reasons, when you read a script, turn to page 87 and it says: “Rips his shirt off and casually throws it onto chair” – and you’re going to go to the gym the next day because nobody wants to see your big fat arse out there taking your shirt off!
Bruce Willis
What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn’t think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
When I found out I had to take off my shirt in Teen movie, I panicked and hit the gym. I was like, “It’s going to be on film, documented, for my children to see. I can’t be 140 pounds. I need to put on a little bit of muscle.”
Chris Evans
You want me to do something… tell me I can’t do it.
Maya Angelou
The gym is the best place you’ll ever be.
Skip Prosser
I actually have never been to a gym. I haven’t had time. I have been working for the last 25 years. I just don’t have time to put on a little outfit and go to the gym and work out and clean up and come home.
Suzanne Somers
To put it another way, Michael Jordan was a gym rat.
Frank Shorter
If I had a reality show, it would probably be called “Keeping Fit With Jesse Tyler Ferguson” because then I’d be forced to hit the gym every day.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
Bruce Lee
At the gym, men are just as self conscious and check themselves out in the mirror just as much as women do. In regards to cooking, men can do more than BBQ. All you need to do is ask—but be sure to do it after the game! Oh, and, men do like salads, especially if they are topped off with bacon!
Chuck Hughes
Good genetics are a start, but I have to go to the gym, look after my skin, and drink lots of water. It’s my job to take care of myself and my body. Happiness plays a big part in your appearance too.
Candice Swanepoel
It’s an empirical question whether training makes one more or less likely to get in a fight outside the gym. In some ways, I’m probably more likely to get into a fight, because I feel more competent, and I know what it’s cost me in the past to back down from fights, and I don’t want to feel that way.
Jonathan Gottschall
My family belongs to a tennis club in Valencia, California, so I always go there. I play a lot of tennis with my dad and swim. And I like to go to the gym there.
Ashley Tisdale
I have my own gym. When you do jokes and they sell, you get a gym.
Don Rickles
The church is the gym of the soul.
Sylvester Stallone
I go to the gym in the morning without any makeup on. Sorry, guys, if you think I’m ugly, but I don’t know anybody who goes to the gym with makeup on.
Shenae Grimes
The support gets me to the gym but the doubt keeps me there.
Conor McGregor
I can’t be bothered to go to the gym, though. I honestly just can’t be bothered – it’s the most boring thing on Earth. I have tried and every six months I go ‘right, I’m going to the gym’. Then I do it for two weeks and get so bored by it.
Carol Vorderman
I’ve done a lot of basketball drills, not a whole lot of competitive stuff. I have basically been in the gym everyday working on my game, working on the time off that I’ve had from the game, just getting myself prepared mentally and physically for the season.
Grant Hill
Boxing is a science. You don’t just walk into a gym and start punching. Fighters are born with differences in physical ability, but you also see a big difference in their skills. That’s the trainers influence at work.
Eddie Futch
It’s not being superficial, but looks do attract me from across the gym.
Kiana Tom
If it wasn’t for my trainer – who comes looking for me three times a week before 7 A.M. – I wouldn’t get my butt out of bed and into the gym. There are many mornings when I think about faking a sprained ankle, but I just put it out of my head and make myself go.
Sherri Shepherd
Sit-ups and push-ups work without a gym.
John Varvatos
Get out there, even if it’s a hike or something, just break up the monotony of going to the gym.
Jessica Biel
Yeah, I know. Terror Aerobics. Just wait until they get it at the gym. It’ll be bigge than pilates. –Eve
Rachel Caine
The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is… The Pump.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I never went to the gym before in my life. But, at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort.
Shakira
You’ve got to find ways to breathe while you’re dancing so that when it comes time for you to stop and sing again, you have it. To prepare, I do a lot of aerobic activity. Many times at the gym, people will look at me because I’ll be on the treadmill humming.
Kristin Chenoweth
I just came out of the gym from three hours this morning. I got five hours of sleep. That’s it. Every day of my life, I’m trying to find a different way to get better.
Ray Lewis
I never go to a gym unless I have to for a role, a contract. I try to take care of myself as a human being, not because I have to be in front of the camera.
Elena Anaya
To be a champ you have to believe in yourself when no one else will.
Sugar Ray Robinson
I eat super healthy and I’m super fit. I dabble in every type of fitness. I have a trainer and I go to the gym. I do yoga as well.
Linda Evangelista
I’ve never loved spending time on the machines at the gym. But I have discovered an exercise regimen I can dedicate myself to: yoga. It’s changed my body.
Judy Reyes
If Jennifer Lopez could write songs like Fiona Apple’s, she wouldn’t have to spend so many hours at the gym.
Shirley Manson
I love being in the gym.
Scott Brooks
Because I used to play a lot of sport, I’ve always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I’d lie and say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to the gym.’ I literally never did anything.
Jamie Dornan
I have been going to the gym instead of the bar, trying to get back down to my fighting weight.
Gregg Allman
I think that older lesbians definitely didn’t take care of themselves. They didn’t exercise. But the younger lesbians, they’re very different. They go to the gym. They manage their eating. They’re much more fashion-conscious.
Jackie Warner
Obviously, everyone goes in the gym and does the biceps bells and the bench press, but when you’re injured, you work on your core, your pelvic floor, your groins, on glutes, and muscles you wouldn’t really know about. It does make you a stronger player all round in terms of injury prevention.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Train insane or remain the same.
Jillian Michaels
You just can’t wake up out of bed and think you can figure out a gym. You definitely need some personal training.
Frank Thomas
You think like a boxer and behave like a boxer, and you try to live your life that way, being in the gym all the time and being careful to push the plate away at the dinner table. You don’t need dessert. When you’re out having fun, you ask for agua instead of vodka. It’s very important.
Holt McCallany
A boxing workout is the heaviest thing, but it’s the best. The worst part is that boxing gyms are the smelliest things in the universe. You have to lie down on the floor, where everyone has been sweating and spitting, and do 1,000 situps and push-ups.
Gael Garcia Bernal
Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Denis Waitley
I like to keep myself in shape. I run and do weights when I go to the gym.
Sean Bean
I go to the gym, I swim daily and from time to time I meet with friends and do extra-curricular stuff.
Vladimir Putin
I was a basketball player. I’m a gym rat. I’m always in the gym playing.
Jim Caviezel
I love going to the gym and taking aerobics classes and kickboxing. Doing a variety of activities keeps it fresh and helps work other muscles that could potentially help you with your game.
Swin Cash
For the most part I’ve been focusing on my knees, trying to keep those as good as possible. I’m 100% now, you know with rehab and rest and I feel great. As far as training and the routine I get up and bike for awhile, and go in and have a great leg day, and get a full day in at the gym and try to improve.
Brandon Spikes
I hate yoga pants anywhere but the gym.
Robin Givhan
There’s no regimen. There’s no personal trainer. I love to go hiking because it’s an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don’t necessarily like being at the gym.
Taylor Swift
I do ride a bicycle occasionally, but not those stupid stationary ones you see in gyms. I do have one of those, I must confess, but its quite literally a pain in the arse, so I dont use it.
Christine McVie
I used to not really like going to the gym when I was playing tournaments because I’d be sore and stiff. But the more you keep doing it, the less soreness you have. And you actually start to enjoy it.
Rory McIlroy
Without doubt, without hesitation, I choose gardening over the gym. I can’t stand going to the gym. It doesn’t appeal to me at all. Give me gardening every time.
Mary Berry
A gym for the soul is a place where personal investment is required and the return is real.
Anne Bogart
I’m not jumping through the gym by any means. But I don’t need to be able to do that in order to be a great player.
Kobe Bryant
I’m not someone who frequents the gym, pretty much ever.
Timothee Chalamet
Gold’s was the first bodybuilding gym made for bodybuilders.
Joe Gold
I only box. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane. I can’t just go to the gym and run. I’d rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me.
Gigi Hadid
All I do is work out. Oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.
Tom Brady
But now, I get up every morning and go to the gym because I don’t like waking up stiff or in pain and wondering if my hip is going to hurt me.
Bo Jackson
I had a classic gym teacher in junior high who wore a weightlifter’s belt all the time.
Danny McBride
You’ve got to block out all distractions when you train. Your focus has to be 100% into the rep. You’ve got to get into a zone. You know you’re in the zone when guys in the gym look you in the eye and then quickly turn away ’cause they see the fire. You’ve got to be all business.
Mike Matarazzo
You get out what you put in. If you want more, give more.
Jeanette Jenkins
As they were building that library in that school’s gym [in the Breakfast Club], they built a rehearsal space for us. It was really an empty room taped out with the same dimensions of the library. And they had the tables all there. And he had us sitting at the same table. All of us.
Judd Nelson
I go to gyms quite a bit, martial arts gyms, MMA gyms. I try to train with the best people, with who’s who in the martial arts, just to keep myself sharp.
Michael Jai White
What they call “play” (gym, travel, sports) looks like work.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Lets talk about the holidays, more specifically, consumption during the holidays. If it’s true that ‘We are what we eat,’ most of us would be unrecognizable during the period that ranges from the night before Thanksgiving through that day in early January when everyone decides to return to the gym.
Rachel Nichols
Chocolates and cakes are the biggest problem I have. That is why I punish myself at the gym because I know I can’t stop myself from eating what I want. I call it eating your cake and having it.
Genevieve Nnaji
Fights aren’t won in the octagon, they’re won in the months leading up to them, in a near-empty gym, in the lost hours of a day, whether I feel like it or not.
Georges St-Pierre
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Vince Lombardi
I honestly eat chocolate all day long. I do realize how blessed I am to be able to eat what I want and not have to live in the gym.
Joyce Giraud
I can’t think of anything I would rather not – rather do than get up and not do anything. I have to do something. Whether it is painting, writing, acting, shopping, going to the gym, being with friends, going out – I just am a very active person. I have a lot of friends and I travel a lot.
Joan Collins
Most people who are healthy, and I’m healthy, can’t even live my life. Trust me. I get up 530-6 every morning. I’m in the gym. I run a couple miles. I lift weights, and then I’m at work until 8-9 o’clock at night.
Magic Johnson
A female artist friend of mine recently told me that she was advised to ‘look more slutty.’ I asked her boyfriend what the equivalent advice for a man would be. He said to be more muscular. That made me rush to the gym.
Mark Kostabi
On gym days, I don’t get to my desk until 4 in the afternoon, and everything except bedtime and the appointment with the liquid narcotic is pushed back a bit.
Peter Straub
I discovered early in life that if you take gym first period, you can go into the wrestling room and sit in the corner and sleep.
Paul Desmond
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
Michael Jordan
I work out at Will Space four times a week. It’s a private training gym. It’s owned by my trainer, Will Torres. I just came from there, actually. I turned Mark Consuelos onto Will, so he goes there too. Today we boxed. It’s every kind of cross-training you can do.
Andy Cohen
They came from all over the world to work out at Gold’s Gym.
Joe Gold
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
Alber Elbaz
Some people get up in the morning, don’t go to the gym, they go take a shower. Well, I go to the gym, and I get a shower too.
Greg Plitt
I don’t believe in bodybuilders using steroids. If a man doesn’t have enough male hormones in his system to create, a nice hard, muscular body, he should take up ping pong.
Steve Reeves
Lawyers spend their professional careers shoveling smoke.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
I try to stay in good physical shape, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink.
Mickey Spillane
There should be a class on apartheid. There should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not. There are classes on…gym. Physical Education.
Tupac Shakur
I train 10 times over six days every week. I also have three gym sessions and four physio sessions so it’s a very busy life, but I wouldn’t do it unless I enjoyed it and unless I had all that support around me.
Jazmin Carlin
I get insecure about a lot of things. In my line of work, unfortunately, your appearance is important, and I’m always like, “Am I going to the gym enough this month? Have I been taking care of myself?” I get insecure about things from time to time.
Jesse McCartney
I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports – he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12
January Jones
I would like to be the first man in the gym business to throw out my scale. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, what difference does it make what the scale says?
Vince Gironda
If you want to be an athlete, there’s no way around it: You have to go to the gym. You can’t Google your way to it.
Michael Horton
If I can go every day of the week, that’s great and I’ll do it. Usually I can’t, so it’s about 4 or 5 times a week that I’ll go to the gym. I just do cardio and make sure I tone. I love spin class and yoga and I work a lot on my legs and my abs and my arms.
Sasha Pieterse
Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.
Charisma Carpenter
Yes I never go to the gym otherwise because I think it’s a waste of time and the most boring thing on earth.
Izabella Scorupco
There’s something really liberating about feeling great in what you work out in because when you feel great in the gym, then you are just going to do a better job. You’ll feel more comfortable, which will allow you to push your limits.
Demi Lovato
I travel every single day, but I make it a point to hit the gym. I want to look good for the summer.
Pauly D
I’m inspired by watching and listening to people. For example, my first novel, The Scale, came to life after I overheard two women discussing their struggle with their weight at the gym.
Mika
I’ve just been growing right along. It’s painful, but it’s a great pain, and I like suffering for great results. It’s like going to the gym. It hurts really bad at first, but after a couple of months and after that diet, you’re looking so hot.
Mary J. Blige
I don’t like going to the gym.
Adele
You get help at the gym. No one complains about that. You get help from your trainer. That’s commonplace, and I think we need to spend more time doing that with mental help. You know, a lot of us have issues that we don’t work on and we don’t deal with, and I try. I try my utmost.
Trevor Noah
I’m in the gym pretty much every day. I’ve been very strict about my diet during shooting. It all helps me bring as much authenticity to the role as I can.
Jesse McCartney
I love the fight game. I like the brutality. I like the mentality. I like the aggressiveness, but I like the technique and skill. I like the stakes. I like the people around in the gym. I like the everyday, working class feel of a boxing gym.
Aaron Eckhart
When future archaeologists dig up the remains of California, they’re going to find all of those gyms their scary-looking gym equipment, and they’re going to assume that we were a culture obsessed with torture.
Douglas Coupland
I like playing basketball and going to the gym. I don’t box, but I’ll ride my bike and go jogging or running in the park. Sometimes my lady and I go hiking.
Kevin Hart
None of us grew up feeling like winners. So thank you to the bullies, to the popular kids, to the gym teachers who taunted us, who rejected us and who made fun of the way we ran. Without you we never would have gone into comedy.
Steven Levitan
To be really honest, I don’t love the gym.
Anna Torv
Use what you have in your gym. Try to do my training program, you will lose your fat and gain muscles at the same time.
Serge Nubret
To be a successful boxer, the last thing you need to be doing is turning up to the gym stoned. You’re going to get beaten up if you do that.
David Haye
In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym…
Manny Pacquiao
To go in the direction that I went takes a lot of work. And I don’t think you can do the work – the five or six hours of working out a day – if you don’t have a clear goal or know why you’re doing it. If you just hang out at the gym and train for five or six hours a day without a goal is almost impossible.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I don’t think I’ve ever not gotten nervous. When you work so hard for one special day or routine, you want to perform it better than you ever have. We always say at our gym, If you lose the nerves, you lose the sport.
Shawn Johnson
Women are using makeup to make their eyes look puffy, their noses look red, and instead of going to the gym, they start their day with a brisk walk of shame.
Peter Sagal
Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg
I have a ballet barre in my gym. I turn the music up so loud that the walls are pulsating, and I go for it for an hour.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
I don’t go to a gym. I find that really hard to do.
Sienna Miller
I don’t smoke, don’t drink much, and go to the gym five times a week. I live a healthy lifestyle and feel great. I can run a marathon, you know.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
The sign at the entrance to my gym locker room says, no cell phones please, cell phones are cameras. They are not. A camera is a Nikon or a Leica or Rolleiflex, and when you strike someone with one, they know they have been hit with something substantial.
Danny Lyon
Im the guy wholl drive 250 miles tonight and be at the gym tomorrow at 10 A.M., when people are still sleeping in. Im the guy wholl fly to Australia and find a gym. Fly back and first thing I do off the plane is work out before I shower or eat.
John Cena
In Romania, I train on a bar that is bent. My gym has bad lighting and very little heat in the winters. Here in America, you have everything you need to train. It’s not in the bar or the gym or the platform it’s in you.
Nicu Vlad
I’m in my best shape when I’m really anxious, because I have to get to the gym. Physically I’m in the best shape.
Vinny Guadagnino
I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names.
Joe Gold
I don’t go to a gym, I don’t do yoga. I don’t do personal training.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
Margi Preus
I had old bunk beds that my dad got from Seabrook Farms. They were first used by German prisoners during World War II, who were sent to work the farms during the war. The metal beds with their thin mattresses could easily be used as a jungle gym and I loved them.
David Mixner
I do like a little make-up though. I like a little mascara and lip gloss at least. But when I go to the gym I’d feel weird wearing make-up.
Carmen Electra
I grew up in a big Irish, Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym.
Gerry Cooney
I’m not saying my wife’s a bad cook, but she uses a smoke alarm as a timer.
Bob Monkhouse
Theater is like going to the gym for actors.
Julia Stiles
I basically go to the gym three times a week to do weight training for one or two hours.
Takeru Kobayashi
It’s like a muscle – if you stop going to the gym or stop running, you get weak. The military teaches you these great values, but we don’t keep up the discipline on our own, and we lose it. So wherever you go, keep that discipline up.
David Goggins
I accept that keeping in shape doesn’t come naturally, so I work hard. I hit the gym every day: Pilates, yoga, weights. I used to love wine but I’ve stopped drinking. I quit smoking and I’ll never start again.
Linda Evangelista
If you’re trying to diet, what do you do? You grab your two friends and say, ‘We’re going to the gym; let’s do this together.’ Money shouldn’t be any different. If you’re trying to make progress, if you’re trying to save more, we really need to be able to get support.
Alexa Von Tobel
You can allow yourself 72 hours of wallowing time. Then you’ve got to get into the gym, stop eating the ice cream and move on.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
I occasionally go to the gym and I lift free weights, I don’t use machines.
Eric Bana
You ever look for the remote control, but you can’t find it, so you just decide, “Ah, guess I’m not watching TV. I’m not gonna take two steps and turn it on myself. I’ll go to the gym if I’m going to work out.”
Jim Gaffigan
I’m not into the gym. I prefer dancing or tennis.
Rachel Bilson
Mirrors at the gym only serve to remind me that I’m less of a man than I’d like to be.
Dov Davidoff
I try to do an hour of cardio on the days that I have off, and then I’ll do 30 to 45 minutes on show days. That’s the first thing I do when I wake up, I have breakfast and then I’ll hit the gym.
Travis Barker
Bodybuilding isn’t 90 minutes in the gym..it’s a lifestyle
Lee Priest
Do any exercise you want as long as you’re willing to do it. You see gym equipment on TV advertisements all the time, but guess what? It’s only good if you actually use it.
Mark Spitz
I started running 3 miles every morning after throat surgery to remove a cyst last year. The gym used to be my adversary. But that has all changed. Now, I look forward to it every morning.
Rachael Ray
I run on the road long before I dance under the lights.
Muhammad Ali
My favorite machine at the gym is the vending machine.
Caroline Rhea
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
When my husband of almost 20 years can’t take his eyes off me? That’s amazing. But the number one reason I go to the gym is because it keeps me sane; I can deal with whatever’s coming at me.
Jada Pinkett Smith
You need to feel as good as you can before you start a workout. So what you wear to the gym is important.
Oliver Hudson
I am quite a fitness freak. I may not have the time to sleep, but a workout is a must. I have even set up a small personal gym on the sets.
Karan Patel
I’m not a huge gym person, so I try to stay away from the gym. But I love to run on the beach or go for a walk. It’s better than riding a stationary bike.
Maria Sharapova
The way strength and conditioning has helped me now is that I make it a point to go to the gym everyday if I can.
Bo Jackson
I awake, I meditate, get the kids off to school, go to the gym, go to the Favored Nations office, and usually at around 1 pm I’m home and do music the rest of the day.
Steve Vai
My fans are just amazing, all over the world I’ve been greeted by people with smiles on their faces by what I do at the gym and what I do on stage, and how can I not be excited when i’m getting ready for a contest and how can I not be pumped even when I’m tired.
Phil Heath
I always say to myself right before a tough set in the gym, Ain’t nothin’ to it, but to do it.
Ronnie Coleman
When I was younger, my coach, Liang Chow, made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice, do exactly what Chow told me to do, go home, come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps, I did 50 squat jumps.
Shawn Johnson
Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
Jim Rohn
I couldn’t get as big as a bodybuilder. I tried to put on as much weight in the right places as I could. My weightlifting was impressive for me, but not for some of the guys I see down at the gym.
Ralph Fiennes
Especially when I’m in the gym, I get really motivated by hip-hop.
Lindsey Vonn
Then the door flew open and Mr. Faulks told us to head over to the gym. I thought that was really smart. Get all of us in one place so the aliens didn’t have to waste a lot of ammunition.
Rick Yancey
When I played basketball, I spent hours On the court practicing. When i became a body-builder, I was in the gym all the time. Like most beginners, I didn’t really know what I was doing, but the more I did it, the more I loved it. I guess you could say I was a gym rat. Seeing my body change made me come back for more.
Phil Heath
I’ll joke all day, but once I get in the gym, I’m going to work hard.
Dwight Howard
You can do more of independent films. A Hollywood picture, you’ll do one a year, one of those big blockbusters, right? Then you’ve gotta go to the gym to get in shape to do all of the running and shooting and diving and falling and hitting and all that stuff they do today.
Ben Gazzara
Pilates is my favorite meditative way to get in shape. I don’t like the gym and I don’t like running, so I just lay on my Pilates reformer. It’s great.
Lyndsy Fonseca
Aside from performing in ‘Peepshow,’ I do yoga once a week and I like Pilates. I’m more into toning exercises over aerobics. I like working with a trainer at a private gym, but I also like going with friends because you don’t get bored or distracted.
Holly Madison
When you promise yourself something, make a commitment, you can’t give up. Because, when you’re in the gym, you have to fulfill the promise you made to yourself. The people who can self motivate – in any field – are usually the ones who win. Regardless of talent.
Tom Platz
I exercise regularly; I make it a point to spend some time in the gym. It is important for people to enjoy their exercises, so choose a form of exercise that makes you happy.
Rain
I always go heavy and I always go to failure. Even when I tell myself I’m gonna go easy, once I get to the gym and start working, I never end up going easy. I hate leaving the floor feeling like I could have done more weight or more reps. I just love working out and going further than I ever did before.
Branch Warren
The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
My sister and I are both diagnosed with second-hand smoke syndromes. We have never smoked, but we grew up with second-hand smoke our entire lives.
Loni Anderson
I like to mix up my workouts to keep them fun and interesting. It makes getting to the gym a lot easier!
Alicia Sacramone
We have a very intelligent team. I’ve had clubs that when you tell a guy to go back door, he leaves the gym. Or you tell the team you’re going to have a closed practice and eight guys don’t show up.
Jim Valvano
I’ve never been to the gym. I do nothing.
Adriana Lima
Trust that you often need to find happiness outside your comfort zone. The journey is a lifestyle choice. Focus on your mental health and your mind just as much as the physical, if not more. All the gym in the world won’t help if you don’t work on finding acceptance for your muffin top or chaffing thighs.
Danielle Tabor
I try to go to the gym three to four times a week and mix it up with yoga or a personal trainer.
Nicole Trunfio
My good friends David and Avi sent me a text greeting from their gym in NYC at 8 a.m. this morning. Isn’t that a fine how do you do!
Dean Haglund
Nutrition has always played a huge role in my life. I became a vegetarian when I was 13 and then got my entire family to become vegetarians. And I have always been active my whole life. I genuinely enjoy sports and I spend time on my total gym.
Christie Brinkley
I like to turn the venue into a jungle gym, into my playground.
Tory Lanez
A lot of times I’m traveling or have appointments, so I don’t get to work out every day, but I try to get to the gym as much as I can.
Brody Jenner
I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.
Wentworth Miller
I don’t know what that gas is made of, but it can’t smell any worse than Ernie Johnson ‘s gym bag.
Charles Barkley
When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking.
Bret Easton Ellis
I just find it funny what people will comment on, I try to not pay that much attention to it, but the crazy part is that if I’m doing a squat and I have an action photo, they’re like, “Oh your form is off!” And I’m like, are you kidding? I’m still at the gym and you’re not!
Khloe Kardashian
I box a lot, I spin and I surf. I try to mix it up. I obviously have to be in shape 24 hours and the gym can be super monotonous, so I just get outside and try to make it fun so my body doesn’t get bored.
Marisa Miller
Decorating the gym can’t mask the fact that it smells like a mix between corsage and balls.
Daniel Tosh
In terms of myself, my next big plan is to loose 7llb (as I’ve been planning to do since I was seventeen) Also to go to the gym three times a week, not merely to buy a sandwich. And also de-clutter the garage.
Helen Fielding
I never heard the expression, “A strong man,” unless somebody was in the gym lifting a heavy barbell. Why is there a difference between being an ambitious, driven woman or passionate woman and a passionate man? That is something that has come up a lot.
Megan Griffiths
We’re out playing ball in the gym, I put boogers on the basketball and pass it to him.
Biz Markie
I don’t like to run. You will not see me running on a treadmill ever. Ever! I like boxing, though, so if I can go to the gym and box for 30 minutes, I will.
Hailey Baldwin
It’s like being a gym rat, but you’re a theater rat, and then that becomes your fraternity house. That becomes your extended family.
Billy Crystal
I made a gym, it’s the best gym in Nicaragua, I have kids that this year July 6th through the 11th will be fighting and then will go on to the Central American Games and I’m sure at least one will win a gold medal.
Alexis Arguello
I like science and I love gym. Oh, and I like art, but I’m really bad at it. I’m just a terrible drawer. I can’t draw a circle. Even with a ruler, I can’t draw a straight line.
Daniel Radcliffe
I’m always looking for something different to do at the gym.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I found boxing when I was 14 years old. I went down to the gym because my brother, who used to beat me up all the time, introduced me to boxing. I found boxing to be a sport that I felt safe in because I controlled what was in those four squares.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I’ve never worn flats in my life. I haven’t owned any since I was a kid. I suppose the only flats I have are the shoes I wear to the gym, but I put them on just before I start to work out… I like heels.
Nicki Minaj
I’m the type of person that will do triple sessions in one day. I’ll do Pilates, I’ll do spinning, and then I’ll go to the gym and do weights – which is insane.
Laura Prepon
I love ballet and I love dancing…… It’s a little boring for me to go to the gym because I’m used to the dancing discipline – It’s really hard, but much more fun.
Penelope Cruz
I don’t have a doubt that if I wanted to win Grand Slams, I would commit. I’d train two times a day. I’d go to the gym every day. I’d stretch. I’d do rehab. I’d eat right.
Nick Kyrgios
I’m at the gym at 6, so I’m usually in my office by 7:15. And I try to not schedule a lot of meetings before 8. So I’ve got that first hour to get myself organized for the day and to make sure that I’ve structured what I want to do.
Anne M. Mulcahy
When I’m in the gym, I’m in the gym, and that is my focus. But when I’m not in the gym, I’m enjoying being a mom and taking care of those responsibilities .. They really do provide me with the balance that I need to be a more complete athlete.
Melanie Roach
I just try to eat things in moderation and find exercise that I enjoy, because I’m not a gym person. I cannot go to the gym and run on the treadmill and do weights for two hours. It’s the most boring thing in the world for me, so I found martial arts.
Daniella Alonso
If you’re a gardener you don’t need a gym. […] You’re always carrying large sacks of manure all over.
Michael Caine
I go to the gym every morning for a couple of hours, then I come to work, whatever is on the plate for the day, I do it. I don’t ask many questions, I go where I am told to.
Marc Jacobs
Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.
Bo Jackson
The electro scene is all over the clubs now: groups like Duck Sauce, Empire of the Sun, even MGMT. But I get inspiration from everywhere. I’ll go to the gym and put on old albums – Guns N’ Roses or old Jay-Z.
Fergie
Everything I do is in the gym so I’m always in gym clothes.
Simone Biles
I find that, when I’m working, if I start the day with a run – outside, not in a gym, but just me out there in the elements, with only my own legs to propel me forward… It’s something to do with just being in the world and getting out of my own head.
Tom Hiddleston
Probably Lloyd in ‘Say Anything’ is the closest to me – or to who I was at the time. It was just a great love story about people in the ’80s, and we all tried to make it feel as real as possible. It was such a wonderful time. We didn’t leave anything in the gym; we put it all out there.
John Cusack
I find this wave of super-skinny women scary. I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve got to drag myself down to the gym like everybody else. But I look at the red carpet sometimes and it’s like a pageant.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
The playful perspective is not meant to turn your life into a game or a jungle gym. It’s rather that the activity is looking outside of yourself.
Ian Bogost
People always talk about how diet is such a massive part of training, but they think that if they cheat all the time they can somehow out-do the damage in the gym. The key is to keep it balanced and stay on the diet and do the hard work, and when you push through your body will really start to respond.
Daniel Cudmore
Bella [Hadid] is also very naturally gifted in beauty so she can also go whenever she wants to go to the gym.
Gigi Hadid
When you are a journalist in the music business, as I was, you end up dying or going to the gym – I chose the gym.
Tony Parsons
I’ve been into golf, trying to get into the gym to stay somewhat fit. I’ve got two boys now, they’re active kids.
Pete Sampras
As people strengthened their willpower muscles in one part of their lives—in the gym, or a money management program—that strength spilled over into what they ate or how hard they worked. Once willpower became stronger, it touched everything.
Charles Duhigg
We all have those moments where we realize how easily our lives could be so different, for better or for worse. I met my husband at a gym in NYC! What if I’d joined a different gym? What if I hadn’t worked out in the afternoons? These questions are endless.
Allison Winn Scotch
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
My wife will tell you that I’m very particular and it’s annoying for other people. I eat the same thing every day. I go to the gym at the same time every day. I go to L.A. all the time, so I take that same 9:30 flight. I will not take another one.
Chris Black
You never want to look in a mirror,” Lula said. “Men love mirrors. They look at themselves doing the deed and they see Rex the Wonder Horse. Women look at themselves and think they need to renew their membership at the gym.
Janet Evanovich
In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they’re cool, they get respect.
Danny McBride
When you do hit the gym, you should push yourself. This is what makes fitness phenomena so interesting.
Jillian Michaels
My brother Dash hit me on the head with five textbooks in a gym bag.
Tie Domi
If you’re spending so much time at the gym that your mail is forwarded there, you’re not dedicated – you’ve got a mental disorder.
Dan John
If you always do what you did, you’ll always get what you got.
Marian Diamond
I practice yoga on a regular basis at my gym and when I travel. Yoga not only keeps me flexible, but I feel it enhance the quality of my blood cells through deep breathing. I also feel energized when I practice yoga, which helps me cope with my demanding schedule.
Nathan East
My coach, Liang Chow, had one rule while I was training for the 2008 Olympics: no skiing. I could do anything I wanted outside the gym, he said, except ski.
Shawn Johnson
I was so happy to go to prom so I could have a mental break because I’ve been working so hard. It felt so good to feel normal for once, and then the next day, I was in the gym again.
Aly Raisman
You think when gym teachers were younger, they’re thinking, “You know, I want to teach…but I don’t want to read. How about kickball for 40 years?”
Jim Gaffigan
It is not much different from a person who goes to the gym to exercise on a regular basis versus someone who sits on the couch watching television. Proper physical exercise increases your chances of health, and proper mental exercise increases your chances for wealth. Laziness decreases both health and wealth.
Robert Kiyosaki
Heavy Metal is the most conservative of all loud music. Let’s face it, not even a gym teacher could get as many people to dress alike.
Jello Biafra
I used to be absolutely addicted to the gym and I do still love it.
Freema Agyeman
I don’t like going to the gym because I don’t like being with people I don’t know in that intense environment.
Utada Hikaru
I try to focus more on the positive, but it’s half the time I’m getting, “Oh you’re only in the gym to take a picture,” and it’s like, “So what the f–k, I’m in here every day, I drove an hour just to take a picture?”
Khloe Kardashian
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mahatma Gandhi
I mean, everyone walks into the gym on day one skinny or fat. Arnold Schwarzenegger walked into the gym skinny at 15 or 16, and I was that way, too.
Joe Manganiello
The gym was my sanctuary. The place where you could forget about all your worries, your problems, people asking you for money, people asking you to do this, do that.
Paul Pierce
I am a morning person and the first task for me in the morning is to hit the gym.
Siddharth Shukla
I don’t like junk food, just because I don’t like the taste of it, but I don’t go to the gym – ever.
Isla Fisher
It is instilled in thousands of American males from an early age that one of their requirements is to be able to both dish out and take a lot of pain. They are taught the rules of this road in gyms, rings, backyards and fields all over America.
Henry Rollins
She said this in the same way you might say Fields of Punishment or Hades’s gym shorts.
Rick Riordan
If there is one abiding theme in the gym, it’s the withering work in the ring. Those not fit do not survive.
Emanuel Steward
I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that’s what it was about. I’m glad I did it.
Kevin Durant
Going to the gym was never about ‘working out’ like it is for most people. To me, It was a matter of life or death. It was either me or the weights-and I was going to win. I’ve always had that competitive streak, whether it was in the gym, on the stage, or In anything else I did.
Rich Gaspari
Everyone has the ability to accomplish unique feats, everyone. You choose this. Become someone great in one other life. Forget about failing to many. Who cares? Doesn’t matter when you start or finish, just start, no deviations, no excuses.
Tom Platz
The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says.
Chuck Palahniuk
You never walk out of the gym and say, ‘I shouldn’t have gone.
Taylor Kitsch
On the rare occasions I go to the gym, I prefer silence.
Bebe Neuwirth
You Titans are about as bright as my gym socks.
Rick Riordan
There are two types of pain, the one that breaks you and the one that changes you. In the gym, pain is felt as a result of weakness leaving the body. Physical pain is the glue of transformation and the pain of progress. The more you endure the harder it gets to accept the thought of failure.
Greg Plitt
I never think about losing.
Lou Ferrigno
You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.
Serena Williams
Don’t quit. You’re already in pain. You’re already hurt. Get a reward from it!
Eric Thomas
I used to go to the gym regularly and swim an awful lot, but that was when I was unemployed and knew leisure intimately.
Mark Gatiss
Exercise is really important to me – it’s therapeutic. So if I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle Obama
The theme of the dance was “Great Romances,” or some such nonsense. There were projections of supposedly great couples from the past on the walls of the gym. Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, Hermione and Ron, Bonnie and Clyde, etc.
Gabrielle Zevin
Fourth period I have “life skills”, which is what they call gym when you’re old enough to be offended by forced physical activity (Elody thinks they should call it slavery instead, for accuracy).
Lauren Oliver
After being in a gym, you’re super hungry all the time because you’re burning all these calories.
Jessica Szohr
Happiness, it turns out, is a skill-one that you can train, just like you train your body in the gym. This is the next big public health revolution. Get on board.
Dan Harris
I don’t need a gym. You can do a lot without the gym, so that’s what I’ve chosen to do.
Boris Kodjoe
When you see old movies, there were so many beautiful actresses. Lana Turner and Ava Gardner were beautiful… They were all so glamorous. You never saw them in their dungarees and their gym suits. They always looked fabulous.
Fredric Brandt
I do sit-ups and push-ups at home, and that’s about it. I have a gym card, but I never go there. It’s a front. I pay for the membership every couple of years, thinking I’ll be embarrassed enough to go. But every time I go, there’s like people twice my age that look twice as good!
Rachael Ray
When you have kids, it takes the focus off of you. You forget about what clothes you’re wearing, or if you went to the gym. It makes you a better person if you do it right.
James Denton
