Okay, so I decided the other day when I had posted a short story about myself and a watcher in the gym locker room that I wanted to expand upon that and add a few twists and turns and make a story out of my whole time at the gym. Here's the first "part", it may not be as erotic as most please, but please enjoy and feel free to leave comments.
July; it’s never a great time of the year to go back to the gym in July. Seriously; just don’t do it. I’ve done it and it really is no fun. Honestly, it isn’t any fun going back to the gym after a five-year absence at any time of the year. So there’s that.
But, at least it is a good time of the year to see the specimens of all types of guys walking in and out of the gym, in and out of the locker room, and even into the sauna or showers. Yes, that is a benefit. “Why is that a benefit?” you ask; well, because as a gay man, there are so many various stages of dress and undress that can get ones mind going faster than lightning in a bottle. You have the guys in their basketball shorts walking into the gym, most of the time free balling just for the shear ease of not having to worry about the laundry. Those are mostly younger guys, college-aged guys, which are great to observe. Then you have the guys that are seriously into the gym and have the rituals they go through every time they walk into the locker room. Some vary from just putting their shoes on a certain way, or making their protein shake a certain way, or even the way they wear their jock under their compression shorts. And then that leaves the rest of us, I’m not saying there aren’t some of the rest that aren’t worth looking at, on the contrary, a lot of the guys that are in the average range are hot, some are there to honestly become healthier, some are there to lose weight, some are there just for the scenery, and some are there because their partner insisted on returning to the gym because he hit the upper registry of his weight threshold and can’t take it any more and wants to lose weight.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m part of the last description. Shocking?! Really?! Were you even paying attention at the beginning of the story?! Why am I bothering? I’ll wait here. You go back and read that first “paragraph” again. Are you caught up now? Can I go on? Okay. Thanks.
Now, back to me. I’m not egotistical AT ALL, trust me, I wouldn’t lie. If you knew me, you would know that I am painfully shy. Seriously painfully shy. Unless I’m knockdown drunk, you wouldn’t even know I’m in the room, and even then you would only know I’m there because no one else would get a word in edgewise. But, come July of last year, my partner of thirteen and a half years decided that we needed to go back to the gym. I wasn’t fighting it though because in the past few years, after hitting my thirties, I started to notice that my spare ten-speed tire that I usually had around my midsection had turned into a full-fledged white-wall. And that’s not good for me; honestly, I suffer with body issues like most people. I don’t wear tank tops, I don’t like people to see me without sleeves, and don’t even think I’m taking my shirt off unless I’m in a foreign country. So, when I have the chance to go to the gym and work that off in my own fashion, I’m jumping on it.
I’m not trying to bore you with all the monotonous details of my day to day life, but I figured a little back story and insight into my psyche might help you vision yourself in my shoes throughout the story. See? There was a point!
So, after a couple of weeks of going to the gym with my partner every other day, he turns to me one day and says; “We need to hire you a trainer.” Wait, what?! Did I hear him right? A trainer? For me? Why? I thought I was doing my workout to my best abilities. I know I wasn’t working on my legs, but that’s because I have those cursed Eastern European thighs and calves that just seemed to develop on their own. My chest workout could use some help, but I was getting that desired burn after each set. My triceps and biceps weren’t anything to write home about, but it’s only been a couple weeks. And then there’s my shoulders; okay, you’ve got me there, you can literally see about two inches into my collarbone, so I need help there. But a trainer?! Really?! I don’t need some meat head walking around flexing his muscles and looking around and not paying attention to me while I’m struggling to even lift that twenty-five pound weight over my head for the third set. But whatever; if you think a trainer is going to help why not. So what do I actually end up saying? “Okay, can’t hurt to try.”
Well, that’s how it started. We talked to someone at the front, and started discussing what results I wanted to see, and how long we were thinking of signing me up for, and so on and so on. After about an hour and a half, we made an appointment for the following Monday at 10:30AM with, what they label as, a Master Trainer named Jack. In my head, I keep trying to picture what Jack looks like, and what he’s going to be like as a trainer. I’ve had a trainer before, and he was almost useless, so I didn’t know what to look forward to. But my anxiety levels kept going up as the day drew nearer and nearer. What would he think of me? Would he laugh when I can’t even do one pushup? Would he even want to have me on as a client? How much do I need to eat before I go in for the workout? Do I need to have special workout clothes to use a trainer? Oh my god! What have I got myself into? Well, Monday is only two days away, so I can’t back out now, plus, we’re paying a ridiculous amount of money for this, so I have to at least give it a shot right? Okay, calm down.

I'm afraid people would think there was a fire drill with the evacuation after me walking into a gym...
