Fit Fam.

   I can smell the stench of sweat dripping down his face. He looks tired. His hair clings to his face like a magnet to metal. I notice his face begin to tense as he lifts the heavy weight up and down. He begins to pant as he cannot catch his breath from the workout. I see his chest move in and out as he begins to slowly catch his breath again.
   A loud squeak begins to register from the north side of the gym. I notice the calves of a warrior pressing up and down amongst the sea of people. I wonder if there is a prize given to the most fit animal in this cage of competition. The weight although heavy to me seemed to be nothing but the weight of feather for him.
  As a loud drop echoes throughout the building I am shaken up. The weight was too heavy for her to hold. I wondered if dead lifting was meant for girls her size. It didn't matter because in that moment she was defeated. I notice her feet begin to move from side to side as she looks nerveously around to see if anybody saw. Nobody did, except for me of course. She was small. She couldn't be taller than 5'3 and weighed maybe 120 with a cheese burger. Her hair was pulled back into a slick pony tail. I assumed she did this so that her hair wouldn't reach her face when dealing wiith such heavy lifting. I sure hoped she didn't slick her hair back on her face for beauty reasons. She was pretty enough to attract attention and boy did she.
   I sometimes see the gym as a market. There tends to be 10 girls tops amongst a sea of 30 guys. There was this attraction men had to fit girls. I noticed it the moment I walked in. For instance blondey. She comes into the gym everyday in hopes of a fit physique, but gains the attention of curly everyday. Any machine that she happens to use he will use after. I notice he makes it a point to ask here if she is done with the machine. Even though she has clearly moved onto the next one. Curly is short. Although he has muscles you can tell that at one time he was fat. He wears glasses that cover half of his face as I'm assuming has to do with his bad eye sight. He seems to see clearly with the glasses, but now clear enough as blondey clearly isn't feelin it.
   As an hour passes the gym begins to clear. I notice 4 guys clan together. They begin to cheer and hoorah for the weight lifted by this tall athlete. He was attractive. I wasn't sure if it was his biceps or dimples. His smile was wide, as he greeted the athletes with a thank you.

I wish there was more to convey on the gym, but there wasn't. Today was a slow day at the gym.
Then again most college students don't want to workout on a Sunday morning do they?
