Regularly going to the gym is an insurmountable feat. Like pesky quests on your daunting fitness journey, the process is filled with various obstacles, villains, and perilous terrain waiting to be overcome. Starting with an alarm--always a damn alarm--you are called into action and spurred to armor up. You craft an outfit to ward off the sharpest of the blades produced by your self-doubt, past experiences, and others' harsh criticisms by piecing together armor made of latex and loose fabric.

When you're suited up, you gather your horsepower and weave through traffic, disregarding the red lights that encourage you to stop and the green lights that demand you go home. After experiencing rocky terrain, you somehow locate a place that only 28% of adults have found, and you bravely cross the threshold.


Immediately, you are confronted by villains of all shapes and sizes: the Equipment Hoarder, the Bodybuilder, the Fit Couple, and worst of all...the Grunter. Even so, you are prepared and equipped with your own self-made weaponry. With an ironclad playlist, unwavering workout routine, and determination, you slay your demons one at a time. One minute suddenly becomes five, five becomes ten, ten becomes twenty, and twenty becomes forty-five. You soon find yourself sprawled out, stretching your limbs, and gleefully preparing your return home. Desperate to share the news.

But, since you have accomplished something many consider to be impossible, you need confirmation before you go. After all, you cannot prove you've slayed the dragon if you never bring back its head. You must provide evidence that you came, you saw, and you conquered. You're feeling yourself post-workout, so you take a selfie to properly document your journey. However, now you're faced with a new daunting task: finding the right gym captions to encapsulate your adventure. But you've done enough, right? Right, and the last thing you need, after all of that, is to try to find the right gym caption. So, I have found some of the best gym captions for you and your workout glow selfies. After all, every hero needs a sidekick. A cheerleader, if you will.

So, here are 20 gym captions for your "feeling myself" gym selfies to showcase your wonderful quest. Whether you're just beginning your fitness journey or at the end of it, these quotes will help everyone see how happy you are to have shown up.

Sergio Hudson On Designing With Intention And Who Gets Left Out Of The Industry

Sergio Hudson dreamt big as a young South Carolina boy staring out of the window of his mom’s Volvo driving down the Ridgeway, South Carolina streets. Those dreams led him to design opulent tailoring that’s been worn by Beyoncé, Queen Latifah, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Forever First Lady Michelle Obama, just to name a few.

Those dreams have come full circle in a new way as he recently collaborated with Volvo for a mini capsule collection suitable for chic and stylish moments this fall. The 40-year-old designer follows a long legacy of fashion aficionados who’ve used their innovation to push the automotive industry forward, including Virgil Abloh, Eddie Bauer, Paul Smith and Jeremy Scott.

Now, they have a new collection of oils that are a blend of ingredients that promote healthy skin and hair. Introducing Hollywood Beauty's Level Up Collection.

Wondering If Your Relationship Is Stagnant? Have This Convo Before 2026.

It really is a trip that sometimes, right when I’m about to sit down and pen an article, I will feel like the timing isn’t quite right…just yet. Today’s piece is a great example of that because I was actually going to write this up a couple of weeks ago — yet I didn’t have complete peace about it at the time. As life would have it, recently, I received the confirmation that I needed for why that was the case.

The YouTube video in this intro? They feature a fairly young couple who go by Cey and Jai (fun fact: Jai is actually Jocelyn Savage’s younger sister — IYKYK). Although I don’t know how Cey ended up in my YouTube algorithm several years back, he did, and catching his content from time to time is how I ended up seeing the video where he met Jai for the first time while doing random interviews at a mall. And now, six years later, they are married. What’s really wild is they got engaged four months ago and then got married this month.
