33 Perfect Exercise Captions for Instagram

We know the struggle—you just took the perfect gym selfie or picture where your results are popping, but what on earth are you going to caption it? You don’t want it to seem like you’re bragging but still want to draw enough attention to those gains, so they don’t go unnoticed. A single, successful social media post can drive major traffic to your exercise-for-a-cause. Well, here is a list of dis-arm-ing (pun intended) Instagram captions that keep the mood light, but show that the weights you’re lifting are not:

Gym Captions

  • Leaving the gym always feels like a big weight off my shoulders
  • Can’t afford a therapist? How about a gym membership?
  • I promise I’m nicer than my resting gym face would have you think
  • I be up in the gym just workin’ on my fitness, you’re my witness
  • I’m in a good place right now—not emotionally, I’m just at the gym
