Gyms are a great place to have a good time. Specially if you go with your partner or have friends and instructors to push you up when you need (even if it is to drop some tears complaining about your job). That is why we love our gym.
The first time we went there, we were treated like kings: water, tea, smoothie or soda? We have a special promotion for you guys! We will give you also a free hour of massage or spa! Here, take these guest passes! Take these samples of creams and shampoos from our dressing rooms! And also, one free training with our personal trainers.
It didn't look like a gym actually, more like a five stars hotel. But it is a gym, and we have to sweat. I love to pump some irons. We got in touch with the personal trainers and they were awesome! Explained everything, from how to lose weight to how to become the next Mr. Universe. We really liked to train with them, but life is not always joy. At the end of the train, they gave us a folder with prices for the next trains, expensive values that we could not afford. I felt bad saying we would not keep training with them, but the truth had to be said.
And today, the mask came down. As I was walking towards the bathroom, I saw one of the personal trainers helping someone. I looked at him and, with a smile, said hi, but he didn't answer back. Maybe he didn't notice that. On my way back, I did it again, and those same eyes who once looked at me with a warm look, didn't do anything again. Later, my girlfriend needed help with a machine and he was the only person near to explain how it worked. I went to talk to him, he didn't even said hi, just heard me and, with a butt face, came to help.
We can not order people to like us, but a little bit of education is always nice. Its all about being polite and friendly. But that did not happen today.
Those are things we learn at home.
