“Hit the gym” is an expression meaning “go to the gym” that’s not meant to be taken as a literal “hit,” but there’s a joke:
 
“I hit the gym, but I drove away because I don’t have car insurance.”
 
The joke was posted by RoughDictum on Twitter on February 8, 2010 and has been printed on many images.

I just hit the gym, but I drove away because I don’t want them to cancel my car insurance.
