So, I walk into the gym tonight …
New Trainer Dude (NTD): ::: rolls his eyes, mouth agape :::, “WHERE have you been?”
I actually like this guy. I mean, no one can replace The Benevolent Trainer (aka Chris), but this guy is fun and not a jerk. He can bust my chops (hold me harshly accountable) and it’s ok.
Me: “I have been in North Carolina doing pre, during and post conference work. Plus a bunch of other stuff.”
NTD: ::: still with the fake incredulous look ::: “For two weeks?”
Me: “Yes.”
NTD: “Have you done any training?”
Me: ::: without missing a beat, looking him straight in the eyes and a hint of *as a matter of fact* in my own eyes ::: “Oh no… not even once. Nope.”
At that point NTD laughs SO loudly and heartily. Dude is like nineteen feet tall and shoulders bigger than the mythological figure known as Atlas. When NTD, hoots … and especially when he laughs … you hear him all the way across into Georgia. Then, still laughing, he throws an arm around my shoulders and says, “Well, you can’t get more honest than that!”
He is so easily entertained. It cracks me up. I like him because, like Chris, he is a genuine trainer and loves what he does. Not a poser salesman.
Then we talk about working together. I have the next two weeks already planned out but may work with him for about four weeks starting in August.
