Regularly going to the gym is an insurmountable feat. Like pesky quests on your daunting fitness journey, the process is filled with various obstacles, villains, and perilous terrain waiting to be overcome. Starting with an alarm--always a damn alarm--you are called into action and spurred to armor up. You craft an outfit to ward off the sharpest of the blades produced by your self-doubt, past experiences, and others' harsh criticisms by piecing together armor made of latex and loose fabric.
When you're suited up, you gather your horsepower and weave through traffic, disregarding the red lights that encourage you to stop and the green lights that demand you go home. After experiencing rocky terrain, you somehow locate a place that only 28% of adults have found, and you bravely cross the threshold.
Immediately, you are confronted by villains of all shapes and sizes: the Equipment Hoarder, the Bodybuilder, the Fit Couple, and worst of all...the Grunter. Even so, you are prepared and equipped with your own self-made weaponry. With an ironclad playlist, unwavering workout routine, and determination, you slay your demons one at a time. One minute suddenly becomes five, five becomes ten, ten becomes twenty, and twenty becomes forty-five. You soon find yourself sprawled out, stretching your limbs, and gleefully preparing your return home. Desperate to share the news.
But, since you have accomplished something many consider to be impossible, you need confirmation before you go. After all, you cannot prove you've slayed the dragon if you never bring back its head. You must provide evidence that you came, you saw, and you conquered. You're feeling yourself post-workout, so you take a selfie to properly document your journey. However, now you're faced with a new daunting task: finding the right gym captions to encapsulate your adventure. But you've done enough, right? Right, and the last thing you need, after all of that, is to try to find the right gym caption. So, I have found some of the best gym captions for you and your workout glow selfies.

While speaking to xoNecole, Eva shares that she’s a lot like the beloved 1994 character in many ways. “Lyric is so me. She's the odd flower. A flower nonetheless, but definitely not a peony,” she tells us.
“She's not the average flower you see presented, and so she reminds me of myself. I'm a sunflower, beautiful, but different. And what I loved about her character then, and even more so now, is that she was very sure of herself.
"Sure of what she wanted in life and okay to sacrifice her moments right now, to get what she knew she deserved later. And that is me. I'm not an instant gratification kind of a person. I am a long game. I'm not a sprinter, I'm a marathon.
America first fell in love with Eva when she graced our screens on cycle 3 of America’s Next Top Model in 2004, which she emerged as the winner. Since then, she's ventured into different avenues, from acting on various TV series like House of Payne to starring on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Je-Caryous Johnson Entertainment
Eva praises her castmates and the play’s producer, Je’Caryous for her positive experience. “You know what? Je’Caryous fuels my audacity car daily, ‘cause I consider myself an extremely audacious woman, and I believe in what I know, even if no one else knows it, because God gave it to me. So I know what I know. That is who Je’Caryous is.”
But the mom of three isn’t the only one in the family who enjoys acting. Eva reveals her daughter Marley has also caught the acting bug.
“It is the most adorable thing you can ever see. She’s got a part in her school play. She's in her chorus, and she loves it,” she says. “I don't know if she loves it, because it's like, mommy does it, so maybe I should do it, but there is something about her.”
Overall, Eva hopes that her contribution to the role and the play as a whole serves as motivation for others to reach for the stars.
“I want them to walk out with hope. I want them to re-vision their dreams. Whatever they were. Whatever they are. To re-see them and then have that thing inside of them say, ‘You know what? I'm going to do that. Whatever dream you put on the back burner, go pick it up.
"Whatever dream you've accomplished, make a new dream, but continue to reach for the stars. Continue to reach for what is beyond what people say we can do, especially as [a] Black collective but especially as Black women. When it comes to us and who we are and what we accept and what we're worth, it's not about having seen it before. It's about knowing that I deserve it.”
