Hilarious Video Explains How The Gym Was Invented

April 17, 2025

A viral video is cracking up the internet by answering the age-old question: Who came up with the gym?! In the skit, a YouTuber imagines the moment someone first pitched the idea of a gym, and the reactions are hilariously spot-on.

“You think people are gonna come to your barn and just start picking stuff up... and putting it back down… for an hour?” one skeptical character says. “And they’re gonna pay you for it?”

As a gym-goer myself, I can't help but laugh - it’s funny because it’s true!
