Objects doing exercise, on a t-shirt

February 9, 2022 3:45 PM

My partner has a shirt with a banana doing crunches, and one with a rhinoceros on a treadmill. He is a bit of a gym bro and I would like to find similar cute/funny shirts so they can wear a different one while working out (almost) every day. Suggest me some shirts? (Particulars inside, because I'm picky)

Criteria I'm looking for are:

- Cute, cartoony illustrations
- No text
- As little "rah rah fitness motivation" or body image stuff as possible
- Bonus points for activities other than running and yoga

Thanks!

(this egg weight lifting one is mildly horrifying but I still might go for it)

Something like this dachshund? Or this unicorn?

How about this beauty? I live for Kliban's aerobic cats.

Also this avocardio shirt is cute.

I kind of like this group one, also there's a turtle, some weightlifting cats, a hamster, or corgi yoga. I'm fond of this chicken but you may prefer this rubber chicken. Yes, those are all from the same site - it's just what came up for a search. I have no experience with that particular vendor.

This place has options. I have not ordered from them but there are lots of ideas for you.

Heheh I actually came in to specifically recommend the weightlifting cats one that nkknkk linked to- my partner got this for a gift and it makes me smile every time he wears it.

Teeturtle is a source I like for cute cartoony shirts—I actually have an exercise-themed shirt from them. A lot of them say stuff on them, unfortunately, but you might have some luck if you feel like perusing. A quick search turned up:

Turtle running, no text

Has a word on it but an axolotl doing squats is too delightful not to share.

Response by poster: Thank you all! I am still scrutinizing all entries carefully to see if they meet my exacting aesthetic sensibilities, but for now I submit to you also: Planet Fitness.
