Yesterday you smashed your HIIT session, but today you can't walk, and the mere idea of dropping into a burpee makes you feel queasy. In this blog, freelance contributor Kieran Alger, explains everything you need to know about DOMS and how you can prevent it. I circle the number and read the next question.Are you struggling to walk after your workout this week? Well, there's a good chance you're experiencing a case of DOMS, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. Who doesn’t get a nice feeling when a really cool or together person thinks you’re amazing? A big old ten to that. Being praised by someone I respect is an enjoyable feeling. I turn my attention to the questionnaire and start to read. When I’m done with my write up, Dom Fitness is going to be mud. This place is full of assholes on power trips. I’m being humiliated for his amusement, just like Kevin was humiliated. Dom stands over me, and when I crane my neck up I’m certain I see a flicker of pleasure in his eyes at the sight of me looking so ridiculous. It’s sized for a five-year-old and my knees are up around my ears. I’ll really go to town on Dom Fitness in my article.įuming, I sit in the pink chair. Doesn’t he understand that I’m a journalist and I can write whatever I like about this horrible place? I’ll show him. I suppose this is meant to humiliate me for all my backchat. I glare at Dom and he glares right back, still pointing at it. Next to the black chair is a tiny pink one covered in flower stickers. I take the clipboard from him and flounce over to a black chair. “Now sit.”įor heaven’s sake, this is more trouble than it’s worth. “I need to know everything about you before we begin, and you need to study the rules.” He points to the chairs. In my opinion, we go together about as well as red wine and chalk. I wonder what it means for me that I’ve “paired well” with Dom. Joshua on the front desk is an excellent judge of character.” Aren’t you my trainer? That’s what Joshua said.”ĭom’s eyes travel to my lips, as if he’s displeased with what’s coming out of them. “I thought the questionnaire was to pair me with the right trainer. He’s already holding out his arm toward the chairs, but I’m not ready to obey. I’m going to sit you down on a chair just over there, and you’re going to fill out the questionnaire for me.” “I need to know how you’re different from all my other clients. Don’t you want to do your best possible work for your employer?” In your case, it’s especially important that you get a feel for the place, for the article you’re writing. “The rules are to protect our staff and clients and the questionnaire is to ensure that you receive an experience that’s tailored for you. “Young lady, as you’re aware we’re not an ordinary fitness center.” Dom Fitness takes itself way too seriously. I know how I’m going to start my article. Filling it out would be pointless.”ĭom stares at me, hard, and then slowly shakes his head. “I’m only here to write a story on the gym. I feel an insane impulse to run my fingers though the ends of my ponytail and plead for mercy. “Joshua tells me you wouldn’t fill out the membership form. Is he serious? I haven’t been talked to this way since I was a child and I wrote all over the walls in crayon.ĭom brandishes the clipboard. “You’re disobedient, and I will have no more of this behavior from you.” I can almost feel their glee at my dressing-down. “I’m severely displeased with you already, Miss Tate.” He doesn’t shout, but he enunciates carefully and I’m sure every word is carrying to those around us. It’s not quite so impressive from me, though, as I’m five feet six and I definitely have noodle arms. I draw myself up and fold my arms as well, mirroring his overbearing stance. That’s verbal abuse and I won’t stand for it from Dom for the sake of a lousy article. Is Dom about to invite everyone nearby to tell me I’m weak and pathetic? If he does, I’ll leave. Somebody walks past us but slows right down when they hear what Dom has said to me.
