― Aaron Taylor-Johnson
“As professional soccer players, we take our bodies to the extreme. We’re the people at the gym that look like we’re breaking the machines. Pushing our bodies to the limits is what makes us so strong and capable and Olympians. It’s not an easy thing to consistently do over and over again to your body.”
― Abby Wambach
“There was a kind of physical anarchy that dominated most of my younger life. I was always too skinny, not hairy enough, my voice jumped around. It was a thing that drove me away from towel lines in gym class.”
― Adam Rapp
“To combat the monotony of gym workouts, I started playing soccer. I looked at workouts as training sessions. My soccer training includes squats, pushups, resistance-band work, and sprints. Ninety minutes of running became part of my love of the game rather than a chore.”
― Adam Richman
“Sometimes I’ll be listening to NPR at the gym, and I’ll hear them say, ‘Oh, Donald Trump did this today.’ And I’m like, ‘What?’ All of a sudden, I have more energy than if I drank an espresso.”

“If a gym is not available, wherever I am, I do my free hand exercises.”
― Akkineni Nagarjuna

“I like the gym; I need the gym.”
― Aleksandar Mitrovic
“I was small until I was 15, then grew about 12 inches in a year and built up my strength in the gym.”
― Aleksandar Mitrovic
“Music can be useful during training to help get you psyched, and I still listen to music on easy climbs or in the gym. But during cutting-edge solos or really hard climbs, I unplug. There shouldn’t be a need for extra motivation on big days, be it music or anything else. It should come from within.”
― Alex Honnold
“Pretty much every gym I go into, I feel very comfortable. I dump my stuff, take my shoes off, do my thing.”
― Alex Honnold
“In England, there just isn’t that fascism of beauty and physicality or whatever. You don’t have to look like a gym bunny, all buffed up and a size two. You’re not judged the way you are in the States.”
― Alex Kingston
“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
“I’ve adopted that mentality: every day I do weights and core in the gym in the morning and train on the field in the afternoon. And I’m strict with my diet – I include protein in every meal and snack.”

― Alexis Arguello

― Alfie Allen
“I eat meat. I don’t go to the gym.”
― Alice Englert
“I do Pilates twice a week; I hike and I go to the gym. My days of being that hardcore-workout person are over. Don’t get me wrong, I still want to be the hot mom!”
― Alicia Coppola
“I try to do a variety of physical activities. I spin, take classes at Barry’s Boot Camp, go to the gym, use home DVD’s of ChaLEAN Extreme workouts, which I think are brilliant, and I run around after my three girls. Also, let’s be honest. The amount of laundry I do is an exercise in and of itself!”
― Alicia Coppola

“Working towards something you’re excited about – as opposed to something that makes you feel badly about yourself – is what will keep you going back to the gym.”
― Alison Sweeney
“As a kid, I trained to be an Olympic gymnast. My schedule was rigorous. Four hours a day, Monday through Saturday, I was at the gym. My body was like a boy’s, narrow hips, flat-chested, wide shoulders. When I was 12, I badly injured my ankle and was forced to stop training immediately.”
― Amanda de Cadenet

― Amanda Schull
“I’m not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone.”
― Amanda Seyfried
“As an amateur, we used to fight people from the same gym. You’d spar with each other and then fight each other in championships.”
― Amir Khan
“I train hard Monday to Friday. I’ll do weights and cardio in the gym most mornings and do a spinning class, too.”

― Andrew Yang
“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
“I do some 400 m. repetition running for endurance on the court. I’ll be in the gym lifting weights, or I’ll be putting in a lot of core stability to work to improve my balance.”
― Andy Murray
“Earlier in my career, I used to spend a lot of time practising my tennis on court. Now I’ve learned that it’s better to do just a couple of hours on court and two gym sessions a day. That’s what’s made me fitter and stronger.”
― Andy Murray
“I love doing action. Since I’m not 21, there’s some, ‘Let me get to the gym so I can do it.’ But I love to defy expectations.”
― Angela Bassett
“I really tried to play more intensely in practice and not play like maybe two, three hours just like that. I just go to court and spend a lot of hours as well on gym, or just make a lot of sprints and movement.”
― Angelique Kerber
“The last place you’ll find me is the gym. It seems to me to be a waste of time – I could spend that time doing so many other things.”
― Anita Dobson
“I love weights, but it’s too far to get to the gym. So I make the farm my gym: I split wood and haul tires and do work on the farm, and that’s sort of my weight training portion.”
― Ann Bancroft

― Annaleigh Ashford
“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
“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

― Antoine Fuqua
“Being fit is the easiest part of being a dance professional. I used to just throw on a backpack full of rocks and run up a hill. You don’t even have to go to a gym.”
― Anton du Beke
“I work out in the gym three times a week on top of my dancing, so I have to eat a lot to keep my weight and energy up: a big breakfast, and little and often throughout the day.”
― Anton du Beke
“I am a gym rat who loves to work out, particularly running, Zumba, yoga, cycling, and kickboxing.”
― Aprilynne Pike
“’Jesus of Suburbia’ is such a dynamic song from start to finish; it’s nine minutes of craziness and hectic-ness and emotion… It’s one of those songs where I know that for the next couple of days, I don’t have to go to the gym, because I got my workout running around the stage and thrashing to Green Day.”
― Aquaria
“I have my routine of going to the gym, and I try my best to eat healthy and do what I do. I see my friends, hang out. I kind of just have a routine of a nice balance in my life of everything; I don’t really think about protein shakes.”
― Ariel Winter
“I have lots of energy, but that doesn’t happen like magic. I put in many extra hours in the gym and with the physios.”
― Arjen Robben
“I work very hard in the gym. Sometimes, I come home very late, around 1 A.M., but still I go and work out at the gym. I don’t ever stop.”
― Arjun Kapoor
“I think it is easier for thinner people to build on a frame once you get lean muscle. I get bored lifting weights at the gym, and it isn’t enough as your body becomes stiff. So I train in different ways such as core training, cardio with weights, playing sports such as tennis, cycling, swimming and running 10 km once a week.”
― Arjun Rampal
“The biggest misconception is that the purpose of going to the gym is to change your body. We should be working out to be healthy.”

― Ashton Eaton
“I have my guy Semi who is my on the road – he’s my personal trainer. He helps me out with training and stuff like that, and he’s shown me a lot of things I can do on the road. We were trying to figure out something that I can do everywhere, like in my hotel room, so I don’t have to have a gym.”
― Avicii
“Gym class was, of course, where the strongest, best-looking kids were made captains and chose us spazzes last. More important, it was where the figures of supposed authority allowed them to do so. Forget the work our parents did molding our minds and values. Everything fell apart as soon as we put on those maroon polyester gym suits.”
― Ayelet Waldman
“I go to the gym in a baseball cap, sweats and then run into a boy I like. It happens – so what?”
― Azita Ghanizada
“I did my first little kids’ musical, ‘The Sound of Music,’ at 5, in a jungle gym, essentially. I was a made-up Von Trapp child, Ingrid Von Trapp.”

“A Division I college wrestling team has so many guys at such a high level it’d be like having every single guy in the gym being a top 10 UFC guy, and that’s who you’re competing against every single day. Most everyone has been wrestling since they were 5 years old. It’s been their dream to wrestle in college. There’s such a high level of intensity.”
― Ben Askren
“Learning essential stuff is as much a discipline as going to the gym or sticking to a diet, and an excellent antidote for the modern condition of being numb and dumb.”

― Beth Broderick

― Beth Riesgraf
“I’ve been doing a lot of work with my brilliant trainer Pat Manocchia, who has a gym called La Palestra. He’s trained me for every big show I’ve done, every demanding 8-show week role that requires stamina, like ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘Gypsy.’”

― Billy Crystal
“My everyday go-to style is a lot more casual. I like to wear suits to games, but during the day, going to the gym, I’m in my workout gear. Then if I’m going to lunch meetings, I like to keep it somewhat casual – short-sleeved button-ups, jeans, and sneakers.”
― Blake Griffin
“I really don’t like the gym. I like experiences, so I take any chance I get to go on a bicycle or on a hike.”

― Bobbi Brown
“I think the problem people get into is they want to go into the gym and look at other people’s workouts, or they want to lift what other people are lifting. I started out really small. I actually did a lot of research, and I learned all about working out. So take gradual steps.”
― Bobby Lashley
“It’s a quiet life. Normally it’s training, house, gym.”

― Brady Corbet
“I don’t really work out that much. I don’t go to the gym.”
― Bregje Heinen
“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

― Brody Jenner
“I go to the gym a lot, and I see these guys, these young actors or models there, really punishing themselves – I mean, just killing themselves. And then I’ll see one of them on a billboard, with the artfully messy hair, looking as though it’s just natural and easy to have a body like that.”
― Bronson Pinchot
“I look after myself. I train and go to the gym.”
― Bruno Tonioli
“I like eating the right way, doing things the right way. I never had to have my dad come and say, ‘Hey, you have to get back to the gym’ or, ‘Hey, you’re eating wrong.’”
― Bryce Harper
“One of my favorite things about traveling is experimenting with different workouts in different gyms. If I can’t get to a Gold’s Gym, and I’m stuck in a small hotel gym, and it’s only got a medicine ball and a treadmill, how am I going to make sure I get a decent workout from this environment? I love that challenge.”
― Buddy Murphy
“I’m a very good coach… because I see the way the kids react once they get in the ring and start actually sparring. I see that they are calm, relaxed, and they’re working like we work in the gym, and they are doing what they’ve been taught.”
― Buster Douglas
“My training sessions were nice, calm, and quiet. Just me and my trainers in the gym.”
― Buster Douglas
“Coaches would have me in the gym do 1,000 kicks for a practice. I would do them until everyone was gone, until I had done all my kicks. People asked me why I would do it – that’s stupid. But my coach told me to do something like that, and I knew it would benefit me, and I would do it.”
― Cain Velasquez
“I’m still in the gym every day for training, putting in the same hard work every week. That’s the only way I know how to do it.”

― Caitriona Balfe
“Madonna remains the most visible performer on the planet, as well as one of the wealthiest, but would anyone seriously say that artistic self-development is her primary motivating principle? She is too busy with Kabbalah, fashion merchandising, adoption melodramas, the gym, and ill-starred horseback riding to study art.”
― Camille Paglia
“I listen to ‘Purple Haze’ a lot. If I’m in the gym, I listen to that album the whole way through sometimes.”

― Carmen Electra
“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’m a competitor. Gym work can be tough. But you just try to get through it.”

― Cass Sunstein
“I walked into the gym not even knowing what jiu-jitsu or MMA and all that was. I was looking to lose baby weight after I had my son.”
― Cat Zingano
“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 go to a wrestling match, and I love it. But at a wrestling match, on every level – that includes Division I – you go into an empty and cold gym, you roll out a mat, and you set 10 chairs up on each side. That’s a dual meet, and it’s very hard to act like it’s a big event.”
― Chael Sonnen
“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.”

― Charles S. Dutton
“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
“I have a routine for a day I’m in the office and not really physically active. Or a day when I’m in the gym once or in the gym twice. Then I’ve got a road course routine and an oval routine because they’re different physically.”
― Charlie Kimball
“I’m really interested in finding good tips to stay in shape, and I love being in the gym, and I love doing yoga.”

“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
“One thing I’ve realized is that being a nerd has transformed. I like that it’s easier to read comic books and, like, ‘Lord of the Rings’ now. You don’t have to get punched in the chest in the gym locker room for that anymore.”
― Chris Gethard
“Therapy’s like going to the gym.”
― Chris Pine
“Five times a week, I do two hours running and gym work. That’s to help with things like blood circulation. Also, it is good to be in shape in case I need to go into hospital again.”

“Things I am allergic to: people who believe in star signs and think nothing of starting a conversation with: ‘Hi, my name’s Lucy. I’m a Sagittarius;’ rodents (apart from miniature hamsters, which are not in fact rodents but small, breathing, brown balls of cotton wool); and people who go to the gym.”
― Claudia Winkleman
“I try to make myself walk around a bit, but I probably think about it more than I actually do it. Years ago, I did think about joining a gym.”
― Clive Anderson
“Any praise goes to my coaches and my teammates. I have the easy part of waking up and going to the gym. They’re the ones that have to break my bad habits and teach me new things. They’re literally my everything. In my personal life, it’s my wife, and in my professional life, it’s my coaches and my teammates.”
― CM Punk

― Cobie Smulders
“I’m ATT to the bone. I have my close circle of people, my clique – Jorge Masvidal, Mike Brown, Dan Lambert. I’m not friends with everybody. It’s a gym, but this is a one-man sport.”

“I used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip.”
― Conor McGregor
“People think hard sparring will get you sharp. And you do get sharp in the gym. But anytime I’ve trained that way, I’ve actually been a little bit flatter in the fight. And the knockout shot hasn’t come. It’s almost because my training has been too hard.”
― Conor McGregor

― Danny McBride
“In my gym class, we had something called The Pit, this little alcove where we had to sit if we forgot our gym clothes. It was usually just the crippled kid, the pregnant girl, and me. It was pretty awkward, just hanging with all these freaks who didn’t want to show their legs.”
― Danny McBride
“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
“Toddlers need to get off the soccer field and onto the playground. Children need to get out of the gym and into neighborhood stickball games. We need to give kids room to create their own rules, set their own terms, and move their bodies in their own ways.”
― Darell Hammond
“No child wants to fall off a jungle gym or slide. Accidents are an unfortunate fact of life, but to lower every last slide and jungle gym to a height that would only interest a toddler is doing our children a grave disservice.”

― Dave Navarro
“I have worked hard in the gym lifting heavy weights and doing a lot of exercises.”
― David de Gea

― Dawnn Lewis

― Demetrious Johnson

― Disha Patani

― Dweezil Zappa
“Here’s how it goes: I’m up at the stroke of 10 or 10:30. I have breakfast and read the papers, and then it’s lunchtime. Then maybe a little nap after lunch and out to the gym, and before I know it, it’s time to have a drink.”
― E. L. Doctorow
“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.’”
― Eddie Guerrero
“I was expelled from school at 14, and whilst everyone else was studying for their GCSEs, I got a membership for that gym, and I just started lifting weights. So while everyone else was in school, I was in the gym sort of bulking up, and when I got to 17, I got a full time job.”
― Eddie Hall

“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 have a boxing trainer at a gym, which is really fun. And I also try to complement it with flybarre, which is lengthening, strengthening, toning, just tightening everything up.”
― Elsa Hosk

― Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

“At one point, when I didn’t make the 2007 World Cup squad, I was very, very frustrated. Then I became very hard on myself. Whenever I used to go to the nets, or when I trained in the gym, I was very hard on myself. I couldn’t sleep; I used to think a lot. Very, very desperate to make a comeback.”
― Gautam Gambhir
“We did not had enough facilities in the village. My family was also not well off. There was no mat, no gym; we used to wrestle in the mud. It was very different from the national camps where I trained before the Commonwealth Games.”

― Geoffrey Zakarian
“Around ’93, I had to get a couple of jobs. I had a job for a while working at a gym, just so I could work out for free, because I knew if I didn’t exercise, I’d go crazy. It’s the key to my mental health, actually.”
― George Eads

― Gerard Pique
“When we first started in Huntington Recreation with John Capobianco, we put four kids in the Golden Gloves finals. We didn’t even have a ring. We trained at Stimson Junior High School. They give us the gym three nights a week. We used to box in the gym – no ring, just on the gym floor.”
― Gerry Cooney
“Yoga has trimmed my body in a way that the gym never could. I used to be a gym rat, but I switched to yoga and am now almost 10 pounds lighter. One important thing I’ve gotten from yoga is breathing. When I’m cooking, the top part of my body collapses down. It cuts off my diaphragm.”
― Giada De Laurentiis
“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

― Glenn Danzig
“I spent hours from 11 until 16 with Tottenham in the gym playing the ball against the wall. We played against the wall for an hour before we would have a match. Left foot. Right foot. In the square. In the circle. Above the line, below it. Chest control. Thigh control. Volley sideways.”
― Glenn Hoddle
“Some people might go to the gym and swim laps, but I write songs. Every single day, I write something new and record it.”

― Grant Hill
“Jumping isn’t as important to my training as you might think; I’m only in the sandpit once a week. There’s a high risk factor of injury doing it, so instead, I rely on my progress in the gym to judge how far I’ll jump on the big day.”
― Greg Rutherford
“I do a lot of things like running hills and larger amounts of reps in the gym.”
― Greg Rutherford
“I have been going to the gym instead of the bar, trying to get back down to my fighting weight.”

― Gunnar Peterson
“When I opened my gym, I got rid of the scales! Stepping on a scale empowers an inanimate object – every time you get on it, you turn over the helm of your emotional well being to something that doesn’t care about you.”
― Gunnar Peterson
“I always train my weaknesses and work on my shortcomings – in the gym and outside the gym. Ha!”
― Gunnar Peterson
“When you’re able to love and appreciate and take pride with yourself, that makes everything easier. It makes it easier to train, it makes it easier to be in the gym, and it makes it easier for everyone else to accept and love you.”

― Harley Pasternak
“When you look at the fittest, leanest populations like Japan and Scandinavia, they don’t even go to the gym. The average person in Sydney takes 11,000 steps a day, and the average person in Houston does 4000. Guess who is going to be leaner, regardless of their diet?”
― Harley Pasternak
“There are 168 hours in a week, and even if you’re working out two, three, four, or five times a week for an hour, you’re still not working out at least 95 to 98 percent of the week. So it’s what you do during that time that’s far more impactful than what you do in the gym.”
― Harley Pasternak
“For the average person at home, they should know they don’t need a celebrity trainer. It’s all about your habits outside of the gym.”
― Harley Pasternak
“We work hard in the gym; we work on set plays, which are massive. We work really hard on them on the training ground.”
― Harry Maguire
“I try to go to the gym a few times a week, but I admit, I cheat sometimes, and sometimes I don’t go as often. I usually do more cardio and little bit of weights.”
― Helena Mattsson
“Just because they’re going to the gym, a lot of guys wear old T-shirts that look like they’ve been lying in the closet for 15 years. My workout clothes have to work.”

― Michael Bastian
“People say sometimes that I’m distracted. I’m not distracted. I’m being smart. I’m capitalizing while the iron is hot. That’s why I’m trying to do movies. I do the podcast. I do a radio show. I work on FOX. I have a gym; I have a lot of things going on. That’s because when I’m done, I want to be set up.”
― Michael Bisping

― Michael Cudlitz
“Drake’s home is its own fantasia, a single-level ranch that sprawls in various wings over 7,500 square feet, from the game room to the gym to Drake’s master bedroom with Jacuzzi. The pool is like a scene out of Waterworld, with a bar inside a grotto, waterfalls, and a slide that drops thirty feet through the rock.”

“I like to use the analogy of going to the gym. If you go to the gym and your goal is, ‘I want to look just like David Beckham,’ then that drives you to do certain things. You may never look like Beckham, but it is a goal. Cities need the same thing. They need a vision and a plan for their ideal physique.”

― Nacho Figueras
“I had more pressure when I competed in Moscow. I had no pressure in Montreal because I only went to do my routines and hoping I didn’t mess it up when I was on the bar. When I came back, 10,000 people were at the airport and I thought, ‘Why?’ because, in my mind, I hadn’t done anything different from what I used to do in my gym.”

― Nick Cannon
“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.”
― Nick Carter

― Paige Butcher
“I’ve built employee perks programs before and it’s impossible to manually build a program that makes everyone happy. I’d make a deal with one gym then hear about another gym an employee would prefer. As a small business owner, I didn’t have the time or leverage to negotiate and manage dozens of vendor relationships.”
― Paige Craig

“My assumption was that people are already motivated to go to a fitness class. That’s who I am. I was already ready to go out there and get to class. All I needed was a search tool. But it turns out people need more than that, and that’s why gym memberships exist.”
― Payal Kadakia

― Pepa
“In the 1950s, when I was hanging around Sullivan’s Gym and the Gramercy Gym, there were fixed fights. Mob guys like Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo had taken over the sport; one lightweight champion loaned his title to others at least twice; the welterweight division was a slag heap.”

“I see guys who are in the gym all the time, but their bodies are not a reflection of that. They look the same from year to year, and that has to do with the fact that they’re not evaluating the effect of their efforts.”
― Phil Heath
“There were actually a couple of times I fell asleep at the gym on accident after a workout, but it was still late enough, so I went home and caught some sleep.”
― Phil Heath
“If you can get to the gym 4-5 days a week, that would be perfect. You can still do chest/tri’s, back/bi’s, legs, shoulders, and make the fifth day a cleanup day, meaning focus on body parts you may be weaker in.”

“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
“Well, I’m not a natural gym person myself, anyway.”
― Ray Stevenson
“We play a lot of tennis, and we work out at the gym three or four times a week. As you get older, you feel those aches and pains, so Advil’s become a friend in the house.”

“I don’t have an iPod. I mean, I have a couple. Doesn’t everyone? But I don’t use it. I need to because I go to the gym now, and I’m tired of listening to morning radio. I want some music! I do have a video iPod, but I don’t use it either.”

“When I made the UFC, everyone said, ‘You need to go overseas.’ I thought I had to go as well, and I went to Tristar Gym, and I was there for one or two years. But changes were needed. I’d come off back-to-back losses – Court McGee and Stephen Thompson – and I needed to look at my roots and go back to the drawing board.”

“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.”

― Spike Lee
“Just being aware of what you are about to do greatly diminishes the tendency to do what you don’t want to.

― Srikumar Rao
“For me, motivation is easy. I enjoy what I’m doing, and I’m lucky to play tennis. I enjoy the suffering. It’s something quite natural for me to go on the court and suffer, and to go in the gym and to suffer, and to know the only way to get better is to work out – that’s what I like.”
― Stan Wawrinka

“There are much more important things than a man going to the gym. Of course they have to take care of themselves on a certain level, but it’s not essential. I think men do it more to impress other men.”
― Stephanie Sigman
“Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it’s mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.”

― Sue Bird
“To those who say: ‘Why pay for a gym when the outdoors is free?’ I say this. In nature, there are no medicine balls. You can lie on an outsized gourd doing sit-ups, but in reality, outsized gourds are hard to come by unless you live in a farmers’ market.”
― Sue Perkins
“Rookies are also coming in from college programs as big stars, whereas when we came in, we were just happy to be there. We were happy to be playing in a big gym, to be on television, to be playing in America.”
― Sue Wicks

― Sugar Ray Leonard
“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.”

― Taylor Lautner
“The actual getting into the gym and working out process was easier, but the eating was harder. I had to eat every two hours. At one point, my trainer said, ‘Put anything in your mouth.

― Taylor Lautner

― Tom Daley

“I think anything we do outside of Gym Class Heroes still falls under the Gym Class Heroes umbrella. There’s really no method to the madness. With Gym Class, it’s more of a democratic process, and when I’m working on solo stuff, it’s just me, either working with producers or sitting in a room by myself. They balance and complement each other.”
― Travie McCoy
“Since the inception of Gym Class in 1997, every member has had another musical outlet, if not three or four.”

“People don’t realize how sick Amanda Nunes is. She beats some of the UFC bantamweight males in the gym.”
― Tyron Woodley

― Virender Sehwag
“Growing up, at high school, we all used to wear Champion garments, which, in America, are standard-issue gym uniforms.”

― Viswanathan Anand

― William Fichtner
