Mondays suck. There’s just no way around it. You’re back at work, and you don’t want to be. Plus, for some reason, the waves are always the best on Mondays, mid-morning. Ugh. There’s no going around Monday; you have to go through it. And since you do, you might as well go through it laughing.
This Gym Wildlife video is absolutely epic, and as a former gym employee (aka pilotfish), I can tell you that it is extremely accurate. It takes a couple steps back from the gym experience, and the narrator explains various situations as a detached observer. The scenarios the documentary captures are SO real, and the explanations are simply perfect. No matter how much we love or hate the gym, it’s healthy and hilarious to remove ourselves from action and laugh at what goes down in this urban wilderness. This video guaranteed to make you chuckle, and it’s sure to brighten your Monday.
