How to Work Out Like a Sitcom Character Because Why Not?
Barney has an, um, interesting strategy when it comes to gym culture: flirt with women who are trying to lose weight (read: not-thin and therefore not-desirable, eye-roll), so that they will like you and sleep with you when they have shed the pounds and become "hot and worthy of attention." So, first of all, no, don't do that. Barney is a satirical caricature of a certain kind of guy, not a role model, y'all. But one way in which he is admirable is that he brings his friends to his gym so that they can pump together. Studies show you're more likely to stick to a workout plan if you have a buddy, so this actually makes sense. Even if the train is all kinds of mean.
Get paid to gym like Abbi and Trey on Broad City
Abbi is at Soulstice every damn day, and sure, she might spend a lot of that time plunging the toilets, but do you realize how much plunging toilets tones your arms? Eventually, she does accomplish all her Soulstice goals, like teaching a class and making out with Trey. If you've ever said, "I wouldn't go to the gym even if it were my job," try having it be your actual job. You might change your mind!
