A reliable spotter can make all the difference when it comes to equipment safety if there’s a struggle lifting heavy. But what happens when your spotter is not a strong, muscular human, but a gentle, furry, adorable gym cat? Will the person manage to lift the weight without a scare in the world? Well, in the case of a famous fitness influencer Rob Williams, the cat was just in time for the rescue.

A heartwarming and hilarious video of a gym cat assisting the fitness enthusiast has been making waves on social media as it led to unexpected results for the set.

An impromptu gym spotter appeared from nowhere

The video begins with Rob attempting to lift a heavy barbell during a bench press exercise. However, the weight seems a little heavier than he could handle. Despite his best efforts, he struggled to balance the weight and complete the rep. His friend and spotter Tate Williams could be seen standing beside him and motivating him to keep pushing. But, just as he was about to give up, a cat sprung up with grace as if to push his spirits up.

The cat hopped on his chest and settled there, innocently looking at him to finish his rep. After he placed the barbell safely, he couldn’t help but giggle and attempted to continue his workout, although with the cat adding a little more weight.
