Hilariously Jumbled Motivational Message On Gym's Stairs Has Twitter Completely Perplexed

Hilariously Jumbled Motivational Message On Gym's Stairs Has Twitter Completely Perplexed
@LizerReal/Twitter

Motivating people when you don't know them is difficult. What gets one person going might be a total turnoff for someone else.

We completely understand the copywriter here was tasked with motivating the masses (hard since people are individuals) to do something they probably don't want to do (climb the stairs to this gym) when an easier option is readily available (there's an elevator right there and also we could just not go to the gym at all—that's fine too).


It's a big ask!

Having said all of that, what we can't understand is what on earth this copywriter is even trying to say. It's very possible that Twitter user @LizerReal uncovered the most brilliant and motivating thing ever written... it's just that nobody can understand it.

Huh?

Is it brilliance so pure that it's incomprehensible to our feeble, unevolved, minds?

Is it poetry?

Is this a threatening prophecy?

Is it performance art and the readers confusion is meant to be a statement on the larger state of motivation and inspiration in an urban environment where the human animal's natural motivators are largely absent?

Is it installation error? If so, what was it supposed to say?

There's nothing particularly news-worthy about these steps. They're not in a famous building, they weren't photographed in some celebs personal gym, they didn't feature in the background of one of a random Netflix show that got canceled 3 minutes after it premiered.

There's honestly no reason for us, or anyone, to be so stuck on this ... but it struck Twitters collective "confused dog head tilt" button and people just couldn't let it go.








Which, of course, means folks went into detective mode.





... and we still aren't sure they've got it figured out.

HIT being used as an acronym makes the most sense, but the correct acronym for high intensity interval training (a popular training method you might use at a gym) is HIIT, not HIT.

We love the way Twitter can't let stuff go.

It makes us feel better about the rabbit holes we've found ourselves diving down in order to satisfy our random curiosities.

Trump Just Tried To Claim He Spoke To A 'Former President' About Iran—But There's One Big Problem

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump isn't helping his handlers refute observations of his signs of dementia or overall cognitive decline.

Candace Owens Posts Screenshot Of Charlie Kirk's NSFW Dig At Meghan McCain—And Get Out The Popcorn

Conservative mouthpieces Candace Owens and Meghan McCain are feuding over the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, and things got really messy after Owens shared one of Kirk's alleged text messages to her.

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.

Trump Just Responded To Top Counterterrorism Official's Damning Resignation Letter In Peak Trump Fashion

President Donald Trump was criticized for his response to the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over the war in Iran, saying the country "posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.
