The new gym experament (closed for SinfuIDreams)

The new gym experament (looking to restart this female role needed)

My name is Jon, I am a 36 year old recently divorced male. I am 5'10 with short brown hair that would just cover the fingers when I run my hand threw it. In the divorce. My ex wife wanted it all, so we agreed to sell everything and split the cash.

I moved out to a small town just out side of New York City. I sunk all most cash into buying this old store. I spent my days fixing it up, getting it up to code. Then I got some gym gear. My idea for my new life was to have a curves kind of gym for females only that would be open 24 hours a day. I got a small space in back where I call home, and next to that is a locker room for any the lady's use if they want to. I spend most my time sitting at the counter or sweeping the floors. Keeping the place look nice. I am hanging my hopes and dreams on this. Using my love as a teen of physical fitness.

I keep my hands busy so I wont let the bitterness of life take me. I hope this fresh start will help keep me alive with my warmth and friendliness intact.

Looking down at myself I see what the Doctor has just told me is true.. I'm obese there isn't really any other term for it.
Now she is telling me my heart is failing and I need to lose weight and eat healthy. Or die a lot younger than anyone would ever want to. I only just had my 28th birthday I want to live to 30. God that sounds so bad.

Healthy eating I can probably do if I worked less hours, unfortunately I have tried health eating before and I didn't get anywhere with it besides a larger food bill than before.

"Linda, I know this is hard but maybe you should try a women's gym." My doctor states patting my hand.

Easy enough for her to say I doubt she's ever struggled with her weight the way I have. Ever since I hit puberty my weight just increased no matter what I did, I run every day and eat clean. Then when I seen nothing change but more weight pile on I gave up.

I sigh and nod. It's the best response I have to her advice. I know I need to but the last thing I want is for people to see me fail at losing weight again.

Shifting in the chair I ponder my options I know there's a 24hr womens only gym just around the corner from my work. I guess I should stop in and sign up on my way today.
With it being so close I can't even use the excuse of travel time either.

My mind set I stumble my way out to the car and head over to the gym before work. Hopefully I can quickly sign up and come back later after my shift is over.

I just got done cleaning the big front windows over looking a small creek and a row of tight evergreens. I wonder and hope, but full of doubt that any the clinics would really refer there clients to me.

I grab the broom and start to sweep the clean floor. Keeping my hands busy and mind busy. I cant let the self doubt creep into my head. Suddenly I hear the little cow bell hanging over the door ring. I am shocked to see a woman at the door. I smile and say " Hi there, welcome to the gym." As I say that I lean the broom along a stair stepper and move to the desk.

I am wearing sweat pants and a lose matching dark blue polo shirt.

I nervously step inside the gym, my heart pounding and anxiety gripping my chest, my suit skirt clinging to my legs that won't stop trembling, my green button up cardigan clingy to me with every shaky breath.

Palms sweating, my body shaking with nervous tension, I jump at the deep voice speaking to me, isn't this meant to be a women only gym? Then why does that voice belong to a man?
Turning my head I stare straight at him, my voice lost. Standing still I wait for my anxiety to release me enough to be able to move, to be able to talk. The minutes tick past and still I struggle.

I blurt out the only thing I can think of. "Should you be in here?" I bite my lip straight afterwards. Cringing at how rude I sound.

Taking a deep breath I try again. "I mean, isn't this a women's gym? Shouldn't it have female staff?" I grumble out probably still sounding rude but I can't really help it. I was prepared to sign up to a women only place. Not one that has male staff. It's kinda creepy actually, a guy working in a place like this.

This whole idea was a bad idea I should just leave and go home. I turn shrugging as I open the door to leave.
I take one last look over my shoulder, this place isn't for me.

"Sorry." I whisper unsure of why I'm apologising to this man.

As she starts to walk out I sigh not really having time to answer her question. I say " But I am the owner, and yes this is a woman's only gym."

I shake my head muttering about how folks can be so closed minded and rude as I walk back to the broom. I lean on the stair stepper as I look out the front window. Letting my mind drift a bit. Not really caring if the rude lady left or not, as I try and not let her rudeness crush my last hope of a dream.

I hear what he says. Even though I pretended not to. I can't help how awkward and anti social I become around men.

Men don't treat women like me nice. It's best to get in first and show a little attitude. It's stops them from pitting me or even worst stops them from thinking I must be desperate for attention. I'd rather no man ever noticed me again to be honest I'd rather that then have them walk away from me like every other man I've trusted.

I should go back in and sign up right now. Just to prove to myself I can do this. I don't need anyone's help.
Sighing I sit in my car pondering what to do for what feels like hours.
Still sitting in my car I notice a web address for the gym. Maybe I should do a little digging when I get home and see what the deal is with the guy before I rule the gym out completely.

Mind set I drive the short distance home and switch on my laptop. Heating a tv dinner I sit at the table and start to read about the place.
Certified in nutrition, weight loss. Boasting some of the newest equipment around and exclusive members.

I see a little speech bubble down the bottom of the screen. Someone is available on instant messenger.

Drumming my fingers on the table I debate sending a message for a split second.
"Hi, I was in earlier and I think I got the wrong impression." I type out. Followed by "Could you please tell me a little more about your gym?"
I sit wiggling in my seat waiting for a reply.

I am sitting at my desk looking at the spread sheet of my finances. I sigh knowing this is a crappy first day. First lady to step inside going off and storming out the door.

A bing from my cell pops up. I see its the gym IM. I type out "Nope you got the right idea about this place. Just opened today as I had to sell my old gym I had for 20 years on a divorce. Wanted a nice clam safe place for folks like my daughter to work out. Thanks for being the first person in the door." I shake my head and mutter " The gull" as I re-read the IM she sent.

After I re-read it, at first I felt bad till I remember how I didn't even get a chance to respond and she just walked out. Then I start to think about how my ex-wife wrecked my life with her sleeping around. About 30 second later I shake my head to clear my head of them thoughts and look back at my cell before I put it down on my desk.... I am not impressed with this lady and not all that worried about losing a class act like her as a customer from what I seen of her.

A safe place for people like his daughter. Hmm ok so he's a good dad. That doesn't mean I like the idea of working out in front of him.
Biting my lip I type out a simple "can I hire the gym privately? Book in for late night hours?"

I think that would work out for me. Being guaranteed to be alone I think I could really push myself and have no concerns.

As a after thought I decided to explain my reaction earlier. "I'm sorry for my attitude earlier. I was just told by my doctor I have to lose weight asap. I also got a bit of a shock to see a man in a woman's gym."

Hopefully he understands my reaction a little and I can rent a time slot for the gym.

I shift the screen on my laptop and delve into the extensive work I bring home every night with myself. Putting the gym and the man out of my mind for a little while.

As I set the phone down. I turn in my small room to look for a book to read. When I hear the PM noticification sound off again. I read the text. I role my eyes and shake my head no. I type back " Right now I am the only staff and one has to stay on site for insurance reasons. In time I hope to make some income to hire staff, so I don't have to work 24/7. Its a open gym so only females will be there othere then me. Late at night I should be back in my office so you would have the gym floor to your self, unless a lady comes in to work out. I do want to bend to make it as friendly and welcoming as I can, while keeping it safe too."

I read the new text about her being sorry and the news from the doc. I type back " You are forgiven, I can see where that news would be off putting then I wasn't what you expected to see for staff, LOL. If you come in again, we got locker room to change/clean up in. Also offer as much help with diet and working out. Willing to work with docs even. Again, want a safe and welcoming place. Give a shout if you need me or I can be out of site as needed. *smile face*.

I set my cell down and go to pick up a book.. As I start to read it and get a few lines in, I hear the cow bell sound. I place the book down and go out to the front desk and cheerfully sign up my first lady. I point out the locker room next to my office and saying its always open should she want to use it, and I get a bit of info about her work out history. She says she wants to run so I point her to the treadmill. I tell her to give me a shout if she needs anything as I will be back in the office.

As I get back in there about half a hour later. I check my cell again to see if there is any more texts.

(was going to try and restart this... Next few weeks will be crazy so maybe in july can try it again)

I am looking at re-starting this... Am looking for someone to write at as female main character.
