This is ironic because people would expect other people to go to the gym to lose weight and be healthier.

“Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”

"In the above stated lines, the ship, blown by the south wind, is stranded in the uncharted sea. Ironically, there is water everywhere but they do not have a single drop of water to drink."

(“Romeo and Juliet”, Act I, Scene V)

“Go ask his name: if he be married.
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.”

"Juliet commands her nurse to find out who Romeo was and says if he were married, then her wedding bed would be her grave. It is a verbal irony because the audience knows that she is going to die on her wedding bed. "
