After following Gia to her favorite place for lunch, and casually bumping into her, I am shocked to find out that one of my occasional Subs, Susan, has been hired at the gym. I guess we never had an opportunity to discuss what the other does fora living. I just hope that she doesn’t start any shit that might jeopardize my relationship with Gia.
My cell rings, and it is the other trainers asking me to go grab a bite to eat. I decline and tell them I have some paperwork I need to get done so Andy stays off my ass, and I want to check and make sure everything is ready for the grand re-opening of the new space. From talking with current attendees, most of them will be there tomorrow, and more than half are going to be bringing a friend.
After finishing the paperwork, I go down to Andy’s office, where he is burning the midnight oil. “Hey buddy, what are you still doing here? I know Kenzie isn’t thrilled when you work late.”
“I know; she and I talked this morning, and she understands. I told her to go home and get some rest. I don’t want her on her feet for long periods tomorrow; that baby is really taking the wind out of her sails.”
“Well, she does look like she is ready to pop that little one out. But she is a trooper, and a keeper. You did good, my friend.”
“Is that the paperwork I have been needing for the last two weeks?”
“Yes, sorry it took so long. You know I hate this shit; I would rather just teach the bootcamp classes and not be involved in any of the office stuff.”
“I know, Logan, but it is part of the job. Thanks for helping out with the new wing of the gym, and I am sure tomorrow will be a complete success.”
“I am sure it will. Most of my guys said they will be here tomorrow at some point and will be bringing a new friend, so hopefully we will get some new members out of this. Gia’s space looks amazing. She did a kick-ass job on it, don’t you think?”
“Yes, Kenzie is so happy that she didn’t have to be so involved in that part of the project. I think we did a good thing in hiring Gia. Her classes have doubled already, and that is why we hired the two new part-time instructors. Gia needs to have some downtime; we don’t want her to get burned out.”
“Well, if you need anything before you leave, I’ll be in the weight room. I need to relax, and lifting will help with that. See you in the morning for the team meeting. Have a good night and give Trina a hug and kiss from me.”
When I walk into the weight room, I am surprised to see Butch in there. He looks like he needs to blow off some steam.
“What the hell are you doing here in the evening, my friend?” I ask.
He puts down the weights and walks over to shake my hand. “I feel a little flabby and figured I better get back over here and do some work on my arms. I don’t want Maddie giving me shit about being out of shape. She has been taking those yoga classes,and let me tell you, it helps with everything we do at the club and at home.”
As he finishes with the free weights, he walks over to the bench and asks me to spot him. While he is lifting, we talk a little bit about the security at The Velvet Playroom. No one is around, so we don’t have to worry about anyone hearing our conversation. Butch also tells me that Blake and Mason are now members. I think Andy would blow a blood vessel if he knew about some of the trainers here being Dom’s.
“Cosimo and I decided not to allow Marco membership. We did some checking and found out that he didn’t have a good reputation at the last club he was at.”
“No shit?”
“Ready for the big day tomorrow? Everyone at the fire station was checking out the flyer on the board in our kitchen. Half of them didn’t even know about the variety of classes available here. I think it will be a huge success.”
“I think tomorrow is going to be very busy. But in a good way. Are you working tomorrow? I know that Maddie plans on being here at some point.”
“I am on duty tomorrow, my weekend rotation, but I do wish everyone complete success.”
“Well, thanks, man. I need to get in a workout before heading up for dinner and then a shower. See you at the club on Sunday.” Then we part ways.
I spend about forty-five minutes with weights and then head upstairs for some leftovers that Kenzie dropped off for me. She is always thinking about the needs of everyone but herself. Andy did good with that one.
After showering, I sit down for some of Kenzie’s delicious chili and cornbread. That woman spoils me. After eating, I head to the couch and turn on the TV to watch something mindless. At some point I must have drifted off, and I am awakened by the phone ringing. I answer, and it’s Andy. He forgot to tell me about a few things that changed for tomorrow. We discuss them and then hang up. I was more tired than I had thought. I head to the bed and pass out.

Today is the grand reopening of the new space at the gym. Everyone was told to arrive no later than 8:30 a.m. for a mandatory meeting, so, being me, I arrive at 8:00 a.m. and head to the studio. After turning on the lights and battery-operated candles, I look around to make sure everything is in place. The studio screams serenity, and I am very proud of what I have accomplished. Today is going to be a fabulous day.
The meeting was short and sweet, and everyone dispersed to their areas for the day. Susan, Carol and I enter the studio and wait for the first group to arrive. The day goes by in a flurry of activity. We each take a break for lunch, and before I know it, it’s 8:00 p.m. We are all exhausted. I advise the ladies to go ahead and head home; I would take care of cleaning up the studio. The schedule has been set for the next two weeks, and I am looking forward to having some time off during the week.
I shut everything off, and head to the locker room to grab my bags to head back to Sara’s for the evening. On the way, I am stopped by Logan.
“Hey, how did your day go?” I ask.
“It was great; we had about fifty new members sign up for my bootcamp classes,” he shares proudly.
