Work It! (AKA Another Gym Meme)

[ilovesockandroll]

Option 1: Personal Trainer from Hell
You are one tough customer, out to pass on your work-out expertise to gym novices; there isn't a drop of mercy in your blood, wo/man, and you won't bother to squeeze some out for this pleeb you're training!

OR

You are a gym novice; you are doomed.

Option 2: Sandbag of Aaaaannnnggggssssttt
You had a rotten day and all you can do is play a sad little montage in your head while beating the crap out of a sandbag.

OR

You have nothing better to do than to cheer one of these suckers up.

Option 3: POOL!
Diving board, practice laps, whatever. Just avoid the groups of snot-nosed brats.

Option 4: Workout of choice or by random
If you can't pick a workout, pick up a flyer with a random routine on it. Who knows, maybe your canon has its own exercise. Working out by the mirrors might be a good way of meeting someone...or, maybe, you could find a nice quiet corner and hope nobody sees you.

Option 5: Run, Run, Run, Run (Elliptical, Treadmill, Wherever)
You better run all day
And run all night...

Option 6: Enduring Spandexed Humiliation aka Zumba/Yoga Class
Maybe you're the instructor or you're taking the class. Whichever it is, you are required to wear spandex. If you're not, you're out of the class.

Option 7: Show Off Lift Weights
YEAH! Welcome to the gun-show, gang! Fire away!

Option 8: Mix or Nix
You do what you want. If there isn't an option you like, feel free to make up your own.

Not an Option: Creeping without the other player's consent!
The staff at this gym is particular about insuring its customers' safety and comfort. If you are in such a situation, or if you see another going through this ordeal, report it to the staff and the situation will be contained.

idek whatever number it becomes

Pietro was doing his best to be a good student. His definition of a good student was of course the fact that he actually showed up and did follow Matt's instructions for the most part. Occasionally, when he knew no one as paying attention, he used his speed to either tease Matt or to make the boxing a little easier.

He rolled his neck before eyeing off the punching bag again, and then the blind man holding onto it from behind. Pietro brought his hands up as shown - repeatedly - and cleared his throat before trying his best to center himself and slow down.

yes good!

[beatings]

Matt listens intently to the sound of muscle movement, and the particular way the bag vibrates against his arms when Pietro's fists impact it. He can't deny that it has been an interesting experience so far, in that he's never actually been asked to teach anyone to fight before (and he never learned boxing formally himself), but he likes Pietro's company and he seems to be as fast at learning as he is at everything else.

But now that they've got most of the basics out of the way, it's all practice and repetition until Pietro's muscles learn to do all of it without active input from the brain. Until it becomes second nature to twist and jab and feel bones cracking beneath his knuckles.

Or maybe he'll forgo that part, and keep it in a gym. It's good stress relief, at least. "So how do you like it?"

5? Unless Mark would take him to yoga...

[newdawn]

[ It wasn't that Jasper was in a bad shape, exactly, but his usual activity often tended to either usually moving a lot, around his patients, or with them, or maybe sometimes swimming.

And he had to admit he admired Mark's body, fit and well-built.

So, after some significant schedule sticking, they managed to be at the gym at the same time.

Jasper twisted his mouth, looking around. ]

So, uh. Where do you think I should start?

[pollocks]

[ Mark'd never complain about Jasper's body - he was handsome and fun for Mark to run his hands all over, but even more importantly Jasper was sweet and kind, to both to (most importantly), his girl and him. Meeting up with Jasper at the gym was just a nice way to spend time together.

Mark had a towel hanging around his neck. He turned his head to follow Jasper's gaze around the place - it was a mixed crowd, but there were more than a few familiar faces on his end. People work together; they share tips and other bits of information; it's only natural that more than a few other porn actors'd be here working out. He wondered if Jasper'd recognize anybody. ]

How's the treadmill sound for a start?

Option 2, I cannot imagine why

[nepetrushka]

[His memories are still a shambles—what had happened when isn't always a straight line for him—but Barnes has come out from underneath the worst of the HYDRA programming. He isn't Bucky anymore, but he isn't the Asset either. With the reinstatement of his official rank by the US Army, Sergeant Barnes had joined the training team and gave new SHIELD recruits hell every day, but most of his days are good days now.

Still, it's only most of his days that are good days. It isn't the first time Barnes has found himself down here. Definitely not the first time he's started punishing a sandbag to the point that everyone else in the gym gave him a wide berth. A particular spark of memory, and an extra-fast strike with his left hand, and—

And he's...stuck.]

[justakidfrombrklyn]

[Steve's the one who gets the call when the days aren't great, when Sergeant Barnes has half the gym to himself, when the bag's taking a beating the likes of which it's never seen and will probably never see again. He'd been all set to approach slowly, watch for a bit, but then Bucky's hand is stuck in the bag and he can't help the quick, reflexive snort of seeing his best friend in forever with his hand halfway through a punching bag.]

[Barbara was picky about her gyms. She actually ended up going to a lot that weren't far from military bases or hospitals, since veterans were less likely to stare or ask about "her condition." They were also more likely to be accommodating, physically. Elevators that actually had room, pools with lifts for wheelchair users, and bars or rings to assist one getting in and out of a chair. It helped that this one also had a few trainers who were also licensed physiotherapists, if she found she needed an assist.

Her routine was a fairly brutal one, aimed at keeping her core muscles at peak strength, getting what circulation she could into her legs, and pushing her upper body strength to its limits in the weight room.

The surprising but was on the open floor. She dragged out a wooden martial arts practice dummy, and using a pair of eskrima sticks, worked out whatever aggression the rest of the workout had built up in her. Her movements efficient, quick, and obviously highly trained.]

[nepetrushka]

[ooc: Super okay!]

[He'd taken note of her in an absent way when she'd arrived, more because she was new than anything else. Barnes felt better, more settled, once he'd impressed every face in the immediate vicinity on his mind. He noticed her when the clatter of the eskrima sticks against the practice dummy drowned out the quick, dull thuds of his hits against the sandbag.

He'd given the bag enough punishment for now, he decided, and snagged a towel to hang around his neck, metal and organic hands gripping the ends when he slipped over to the open floor and watched without interrupting. Out of a courtesy he'd eventually learned through spending time with the veterans who frequented the gym, he placed himself deliberately in her eye-line. It went against his training, but that was kinda the point.]

*Yeah, sure, so they had some time to kill on their way to check on that abandoned colony. Space travel was boring and uneventful, and they could only usefully interrogate the informant so many times. Peridot got that.

What she didn't understand was her escort's propensity for lifting heavy things--lifting heavy things with her arms, no less, when there were gravity manipulation devices in Peridot's gauntlets that were way more efficient for that sort of task.*

Is there even a point to what you're doing?
