Personal trainer

They stood in front of the large gym, which had a heading on top of it, "LB". Maisie was uncertain about what it was until she realized it was owned by Leif.

Danisa glared at Isolde, who was grinning from ear to ear as she scrutinized the large building in front of her. She felt overwhelmed by having to work in Leif Brighs' place, which was a unique opportunity.

In her innermost thoughts, she desired to see him here and have a brief conversation to improve their relationship.

She disliked the fact that Maisie was attracting the man's attention, which is why she invited Maisie, to observe the relationship between her and Mr. Leif and retreat from approaching him because Isolde had first developed a liking for him.

Maisie was not having any romantic feelings- she attempted to lie to herself.

She didn't dare to like him when she was aware of Isolde's feelings for the man.

Maisie didn't want to lose her friendship with Isolde, even though the latter was starting to show some aggression. She was only indebted to Mr. Leif for his kindness and generosity toward her, that was all, she said to herself.

She sighed involuntarily as she looked at the large gym with a sleek glass exterior. The small shops attached to it add to the hustle and bustle of the gym, making it a hub of activity and energy.

"We should go in, or aren't we late?" Danisa inquired, turning to glance at Isolde.

"We should"

"Come on, Maisie"

"Xav, let's go"

Upon entering the building, they took the elevator to the specific floor where they were supposed to be, and when they exited, they were amazed by the lavish interior decor.

The gym's interior was just as impressive as the outside, with state-of-the-art equipment and a vast array of classes and amenities. The energy of the gym was infectious, and it was easy to get caught up in the excitement of exercising and socializing.

Their equipment consisted of treadmills, ellipticals, and stationary bikes that were equipped with touch screens and internet connectivity. Additionally, they had rowing machines, stair climbers, and weight machines that could be adjusted for resistance levels. Including, virtual reality machines that simulate outdoor running and cycling experiences.

And there were Virtual personal trainers were available to guide those exercising on the machines.

The gym offers locker rooms, showers, juice bars, and cafes for post-workout drinks. Furthermore, there is a childcare center or kids' play area for parents who want to exercise while their children are cared for.

Personal training services and group classes, like yoga, spin, Zumba, and Pilates, are also offered by them. The classes took place in large studios with mirrors and sound systems.

There was a stretching room that featured yoga mats and foam rollers, a free weight room that featured dumbbells, kettlebells, and barbells, and a circuit training area with TRX bands, battle ropes, and medicine balls.

They had saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, pools for swimming, and water aerobics. Including air purification systems to keep the air clean and free of dust and bacteria, UV light technology to kill germs with scent system that releases pleasant aromas throughout the space. And there was a high ceiling with skylights to let in natural light. There were plants and trees to create a calming atmosphere.

There was a lounge area with comfortable seating and TVs for relaxing between workouts, a co-working space with Wi-Fi, and charging stations.

A massive sound system plays upbeat music throughout the space. Artwork, murals on the walls to create a sense of inspiration, and motivational quotes or affirmations displayed.

It was an understatement to say it was impressive, Maisie thought, They stood still, gawking at the wonder their eyes were taking in. It was like a different world entirely, compared to the gyms across the streets with meager equipment.

Valerie, one of the staff members, was dressed in a pant and a crop top, with a cap on her head and her hair in a ponytail. She approached the group who were puzzled by what they were seeing.

She gave a friendly smile as that was the reaction of first-timers when they entered here. "Hi, what might you be here for today?" She directed, her eyes scanning all of them at once.

"We are the part-timers"

"Oh. Right on time, y'all should go straight and then stop by the counter. George would direct you" She offered to them with a smile. Isolde nodded, taking the lead while the rest followed her, however, Valerie stopped Maisie who was walking behind.

"Only three people are needed right now," She said, pursing her lips at the girl who had turned sad on hearing the news.

Valerie observed that the rest of them had stopped in their tracks and were listening to the conversation.

"How about you switch places with me, Maisie?" Xavier was aware that Maisie needed the money to maintain herself, and he was prepared to give her his space.

Maisie turned him down with a shook of her head, Valerie spoke once more, "Why don't you come with me, a personal trainer is needed as of the moment and the pay is quite high"

"Personal trainer?" Maisie stuttered, She opted to decline because she had never been to a gym before and had no idea how things like this worked, she was going to do the cleaning job as she was much more familiar with that aspect, but a personal trainer. she had never thought of such a thing.

"Yeah" Valerie nodded, "You'll be fine, it's not that hard, I'll quickly brief you about what it entails," She said to Maisie and the latter nodded. She turned to her friends and urged them to go on without her while she went with Valerie.

When they got to the counter, they met a guy sitting by the table, chewing on his gum noisily while checking out himself in a mirror, "Excuse me" Isolde grabbed his attention.

The latter raised his head with a scowl on his face, displeased that they had ruined his precious moment.

"Yeah, yeah, what do you want?" He sharply inquired, his voice sounding feminine. Xavier rolled his eyes.

"We were directed by Valerie to meet you, we are the part-timers" She responded, having seen the woman's name on her badge when she approached them.

George stood from the stool he was sitting on, "Alright, follow me" He said to them and began to lead them to another room entirely, where they were given their uniforms, masks, disinfectants, and wipes, they were given some prominent instructions by George and later on, they went to work.

Maisie on the other hand was given another type of cloth to wear, different from that which her friends had worn.

She pulled her hair which was let loose into a bun and wore a pair of sneakers before following Valerie out of the room, as they walked around and took some turns, Maisie took note of the people working out, seemingly happy that they were achieving their goals.

She listened to Valerie's instructions carefully as they walked.

She screeched to a halt when Valerie stopped walking and turned to look at her, "I hope you understand"

"Absolutely" Maisie smiled.

"Do your job excellently, he might even reward you" she winked at Maisie.

Unsure of what Valerie was talking about as the woman had turned to leave, Maisie's gaze shifted and made contact with the man standing on the treadmill, her heart started to accelerate in her chest. Why was he here?
