Characters: Julia Ann - The Fitness Trainer; Ana Foxxx - Fitness Class Participant
"I'm late! I'm late! Julia is going to be so mad at me! Again!" Ana thought to herself as she grabbed her gym bag from the backseat. She scrambled out of her car, slammed the car door shut and ran up the stairs to the gym door.
Ana could see that the class had already started.
"Crap." Ana sighed.
Ana composed herself, opened the door as quietly as she could and tried to sneak into the class.
With the dance music blaring, Julia had the girls working up a real sweat!
"Ladies! No pain, no gain!" Julia would shout over the music.
Julia Ann was a retired drill Sargent and she was tough as nails! She didn't take crap from anyone, especially from her students. When she retired from the Army, she decided to open up a gym in the Los Angeles area. Julia always maintained a strict fitness regiment. And she expected her students to do likewise.
Ana Foxxx decided to sign up for Julia's class as she was going to get married in 6 months time and she wanted to look good for her future husband on their wedding day.
As Ana tried to sneak in, she managed to bump into a chair, causing a screeching noise.
Julia, hearing the screech, turned off the radio and turned around.
"Miss Foxxx? Late again?" Julia shouted.
"Sorry." Ana said.
"Sorry who?" Julia asked.
"Sorry Miss Ann!" Ana said as she rolled her eyes.
"Miss Foxxx! Don't you roll your eyes at me! The class is almost over and you dare disrupt my class! I will see you after the class is over! Please wait for me in my office!" Julia shouted to Ana as she turned the music back on.
After the class was over, Julia went into her office to speak to Ana.
"Miss Foxxx! Why did you sign up for my class in the first place?" Julia asked.
"Well, Miss Ann, my wedding day is 6 months away and I wanted to look good for my future husband." said Ana.
"Is that so? To me, it sure doesn't seem that way!" said Julia.
"You paid me to get you into shape and that's what I am going to do!" added Julia.
"You have missed at least 3 classes now and tonight, we're going to make it up! Do you understand me, Miss Foxxx?" shouted Julia.
"But I can't! I have to meet my fiance later on!" said Ana.
"Well, you better cancel your date if you want to be ready for your wedding!" said Julia.
"Yes Miss Ann." said Ana.
"Okay. That's better! Call your fiance and once you're done, meet me in the gym!" said Julia.
Julia left her office and went to the gym. Ana called her fiance and explained the situation to him. She then left the office and headed to the gym.
Once entering the gym, Ana saw that Julia had already set up the equipment.
"Are you ready?" asked Julia.
"Yep!" said Ana.
"Yep?" questioned Julia.
"Yes Miss Ann." replied Ana.
"That's better!" said Julia.
"Come over here, Miss Foxxx!" asked Julia.
Ana walked over to the leg curl machine.
"We're going to be doing some leg curls, Miss Foxxx! Are you ready?" asked Julia.
"Yes Miss Ann!" replied Ana.
"Stomach on the bench, Miss Foxxx!" commanded Julia.
Ana climbed onto the bench and placed both her legs underneath the curling bar.
"What should we start with? How about 25 lbs?" asked Julia.
"I think that's going to be too much! I can only do 20!" replied Ana.
"No pain, no gain! 25 it is!" barked Julia.
Julia then set the leg curl machine to 25 lbs.
"Okay, young lady! Begin!" commanded Julia.
Ana started to contract her legs as she tried to lift the weights. She was only able to lift the bar halfway.
"That's too heavy!" groaned Ana.
"Too heavy? Listen! Might I remind you that your wedding is 6 months away, Missy! Look at your legs! They're so flabby! C'mon Missy! Again!" commanded Julia.
Ana tried again and this time, she managed to make 1 curl.
"Uggh!" Ana groaned again.
"One! C'mon! Another one!" counted Julia.
Ana lowered the bar and attempted to make another curl.
"It's too heavy!" screamed Ana.
"Quitter!" Julia yelled as she gave Ana a smack on the behind.
"What was that for?" yelled Ana.
"Motivation!" replied Julia.
"I'm outta here! And I'm going to sue you and I want my money back! I paid you good money to get me into shape for my wedding and this is the treatment I get!" Ana yelled back.
Julia realized that she might have gone too far.
"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry!" said Julia.
"You have to realize that it's my job to get you into the best shape you can be and when I see you coming in late, I think that you're not committed and that drives me crazy!" replied Julia.
"I have to apologize as well. With my wedding coming up and issues at work, it may seem that I'm not committed into getting into shape! But really I am!" replied Ana.
"Want to try again? From the top this time and we'll go at your pace. Sounds good?" asked Julia.
"From the top!" smiled Ana.
"Okay. May I call you Ana?" asked Julia.
"Sure!" replied Ana.
"Okay Ana. I'm Julia. I'll be your trainer and we'll get you toned for your upcoming wedding." said Julia.
"Sounds great, Julia!" replied Ana.
"Ana, we're going to do some leg curls first." said Julia.
"Alright! What do I do?" asked Ana.
"Climb onto the bench. Lay on your stomach and hook your ankles underneath the curl bar." said Julia.
Ana nodded and did as Julia asked.
"What weight do you want to try first?" asked Julia.
"How about 20 pounds?" replied Ana.
"Okay! 20 pounds it is!" said Julia.
Julia proceeded to set the leg curl machine to 20 pounds.
"Now, take it slow! We don't want to injure anything!" Julia said.
Ana began to contract her legs and she was able to curl the weight.
"One! Good!" Julia exclaimed.
"Two! Excellent!"
"Three!"
Ana managed to curl the weight 10 times.
"Whew! That was actually pretty good!" exclaimed Ana.
"Did you feel the burn?" asked Julia as she placed her hands onto Ana's calves.
"I sure did!" Ana said.
"You should have also felt it here as well." Julia said as she placed her hand onto the back of Ana's thigh.
