Because some relationships don't work out.

Why This Joke Works

'Work out' carries both the fitness meaning (exercise) and the relationship meaning (succeed). The setup cleverly pairs couples with gyms so both meanings are primed at the same time, making the punchline land on two levels without having to choose between them.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Emphasize 'work out' just slightly — not enough to wink at it, but enough to plant the seed. Let the audience do the double-take on their own.

Perfect for:

•At a gym while chatting between sets
•When a friend mentions their gym membership lapsed around the same time as a breakup
•At a wedding toast when you want to work in a fitness metaphor
