THE WORKOUT PLAN
Today’s contributor joins a gym to gain a crush, but ends up the biggest loser
I joined a local gym this year after my friend told me about this really hot trainer. About a week after admiring him from the elliptical, I decided I wanted to get a little closer. So, I signed up for private sessions with him and, in the mean time, obsessed over his perfect body with my girlfriends.
This guy was the definition of perfection — those abs, that body, that face! He was a work of art that needed to be captured, so I snapped a picture of him leaving the gym and sent it to my friends. I also set it as my iPhone wallpaper, just for fun. Well, one day we were having a really intense workout and he told me to take a break and drink some water. I did — and I left my phone right near him!
When I came back, he was looking at my phone, and then looked up at me with an odd expression. “When did you take this?” he asked. It turned out that as I walked off for my water break, I got a phone call. He picked it up to give it to me when he saw the picture!
I had no choice, but to explain everything—that I thought he was sexy, started an unofficial fan club with my friends—the whole bit. It all sounded a whole lot better in my head. He said he was flattered, and I thought it went over well—considering, but the next day when I returned to the gym, I had a new trainer! Apparently, my gym crush no longer felt comfortable working out with a stalker.
