As they left the class, Aurora suddenly came to a startling realization. And she was slightly terrified that she hadn't thought of it earlier. Had her mind gone elsewhere? It wasn't a huge deal she supposed, but it was a detail that should've stuck out earlier.
The 100% retention rate. That was something to be proud of. And frankly impossible. This wasn't some exclusive club you had to get into through some MLM type deal. Any woman could just walk in through the front door and join. Which made their retention exceedingly impressive, to say the least.
What would they think when Aurora quit? In the grand scheme of things it would only be a small blemish on their record, but it would immediately strike away one of their biggest claims to fame. Would her leaving be so simple? The thought made her uneasy. Aurora shuddered a little, but she had more immediate concerns.
Sydney kept an eagle eye on Aurora as they made their way through the massive gym, her smile was kind but her eyes were curious. Aurora nervously chuckled.
"Checking out her social media. Just thought it would be relevant for my job to see the kind of things the personal trainers post and..." Damn, it was pretty crazy. You couldn't have gotten more different before and after photos if she'd been turning these people into rabbits.
*Your number one hype girl! Helping Queens transform their confidence, bodies and minds to create a new you! All that matters is the Pump!*
This was under a video with Diana and a dozen of the 'queens' who were/had been under her tutelage. They were joyously flexing and playing around, briefly getting *very* handsy with each other at some points.
Skinny, chubby, whatever; every woman this PT touched turned into a hulking behemoth of strength and...let's say beauty. The skin-tight materials they wore definitely helped, but the amount of focus they put on pumping up their asses felt excessive to Aurora.
Dozens of women at least, all having these preposterous transformations that gave them titanic arms, jiggly asses, and abs that looked like they could cut steel. How could one person do all this? Was she really that effective?Aurora dreaded what kind of workouts she'd be put through.
"Yup, Diana's one of our finest! Seriously, no one's better at making you feel powerful. All her girls feel so confident when she's through with them. Plus, she'll get those cheeks Bounced so good no one'll be able to keep their eyes off it~" She winked. Aurora actually blushed.
Man, this gym used some weird terms. Was bounce just a PQ thing? She supposed it made sense they'd have their own terms, considering how ass obsessed this place was.
Speaking of PQ lingo...
It said 'surrendered'. That's what was emblazoned in big letters on the black stripe at the bottom of Diana's half-shirt as they approached her. That just meant, like, dedicated. Right? That's what Aurora had picked up during the wellness training, anyway. It was about just letting go of your worries and 'surrendering to the feeling of a pump'.
Aurora waved shyly as they approached her personal trainer, Diana. She was wearing an ultra tight half-shirt that gripped her arms tight and her sizable cleavage even tighter.
Unlike many of the 'Pump Queens' she chose to wear bright blue shorts (half the women here had super brightly colored leggings, probably cause it worked like a big red arrow pointing to their curves) instead of leggings, this seemed to bring even more attention to the way it hugged her lower body.
She was breathing raggedly and her face was bright red; she must've come from a run. She did look more lean than some of the others girls, though that word kind of had a different definition here when everyone was absolutely stacked.
It was a sort of illusion of variation. Yes, they all slightly varied depending on genetics and other factors, but it wasn't like you were seeing swimmer builds and mountain climbing builds etc. They all had similar bodybuilder goals.
Diana huffed as she dropped her weights, her glutes jiggled as she abruptly stood up straight.
"Syd! Lemme get out of this thing first." Diana said as she took off her shirt to reveal her body shimmering with sweat underneath. Especially her dripping breasts, rounded and pushed up tightly against her chest by her sports bra.
"Whoo, that's better." She breathed as she and Sydney exchanged a sweaty, sticky hug. And then a quick peck on the lips. Not on the cheek, but on the lips.
"Oh my God, bestie! This new girl you've got is great. She was in one of my classes and she's super excited to get to business! You're one of the best, I've been telling her." Sydney said as she and Diana embraced.
"Oh please, Sydney. I hope I can live up to that expectation. I'm Diana." She said and shook Aurora's hand. Aurora tried so hard not to rub the sweat off on her clothes so she decided to just sort of shake the sweat off her hand behind her back.
"Aurora. I'm really new to this whole thing, I didn't even know if I wanted a Gym membership until I got this job. But I'm willing to learn." She said. Diana nodded.
"Hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere. We're all about pushing you to what's ideal for you, don't worry about meeting anyone else's standards. All that matters is your health and confidence, nothing else. And who knows where you'll go once you get comfortable, I never thought I'd be a personal trainer! I just wanted a big ass so I could impress my boyfriend!" Diana laughed.
Everything the so-called 'Pump Queens' said seemed to be some kind of contradiction. All that mattered was your health, but she'd seen them disparage other body types in the wellness class and in the cafeteria.
"One breakup later and I'm doing this for myself, that's what it's all about." She said. She looked over Aurora.
"Yes, lots of work to be done. But I like a challenge." Diana said almost to herself. There it was again. She then got really close and placed her hands on Aurora's waist.
"Let me just..."
"Eep!" Aurora squeaked as Diana suddenly grabbed her leggings and pulled them up farther and tighter against her crotch and ass.
"Pump Queens regulation, don't want to dress all sloppy and loose. Not that you do, we just want everyone to see our Queens as professional, right? It's not just about yourself, it's about being an example for other women." There was the contradiction again, it probably happened so often you eventually barely registered it.
Aurora was so caught off guard she didn't stop to think that her leggings were practically painted on like the rest of them and were in no threat of sagging.
"Y-yeah, of course. Sorry about that." Aurora said. She couldn't help but notice how shiny and glossy Diana's skin looked up close, matching all of the other veterans 'Pump Queens'. It looked so...unnatural. The Shine. Not bad. Just strange. Her eyes gazed over Diana's equally shiny, sweat dripping breasts for only a moment and Diana immediately noticed.
"Oh, like what you see?" She giggled. Aurora coughed.
"No, I-" She blushed.
"Don't worry, every new girl has the same question. That's a secret of Pump Queens that not everyone knows. Getting bulky doesn't have to diminish all of your feminine qualities. There's a lot of breast workouts I can show you to keep your girls nice and Bouncy. And even add some weight to them." She winked.
"..."
"What? I'm kidding! The real secret is that when your chest and back are strong and muscled it prevents sag." Aurora laughed, which Diana appreciated. Sure, Fake Tits Mcgee. Not that Aurora was judging, but she did find it weird how a significant portion (though not a majority) of the women here appeared to have gotten boobjobs.
It seemed despite them constantly talking a big game about not following body standards etc, there seemed to be a pressure to conform here. Everyone wanted to not just be their best, but a 'Queen' if that's what bettering yourself meant.
Soon, the three of them were off and Aurora could only pay attention to their utterly ridiculous backs as they chatted inanely.
As obsessed with growing their asses as they were, they clearly didn't fuck around when it came to the rest of their bodies. Their backs were equally wide; not to mention their quads were so developed and big that all the 'Pump Queens' walked with a certain sashay because of it.
It was starting to become impressive, regardless of if they were juiced or not. You could crush stone with those muscles.
"Alright, I'll be off!" Sydney started as they stopped at a less open corner of the gym.
"We just got her, so don't scare her off with anything too crazy." Sydney said. Diana rolled her eyes.
"Relax, Syd. It's just weights. Nothing you can't handle, right Aurora?" Diana winked. Well, that was to be determined.
"Sure, I mean I'm willing to try anything. I don't really know what I'm doing so-"
"Exactly why I'm here to help. Now I already have everything planned for you today so let's just get into it!" Diana interrupted. And then it started.
Whether it was desperation for a job, or a morbid desire to uncover some grand conspiracy, Aurora was here now doing something she really had no confidence she could really do.
In all likeliness, Aurora thought, this was just your run of the mill cult rather than some kind of Kool-Aid situation or government thing. Someone gets way into it and dupes a bunch of other people to believe they have to behave a certain way to get results. It works and people buy in and become more and more devoted to it and you make lots of cash. Simple.
Aurora had had doubts from the beginning that this was anything actually sinister, but that childish idea was partially what kept her obsessed with seeing this place through.
Man, this Diana person was really friendly. And pretty too.
In any case, Aurora had always wanted to improve her health if for nothing but to not feel like crap as she got older and now she was past the roadblock of not knowing where to start. The only thing to do was listen to Diana and try not to pass out from exhaustion like last time.
"You're totally new, correct? Would you mind if I touched you while we work? To help guide your movements and create a strong mind-body connection with your muscles. I wanna really help you feel the Pump and the Pleasure of a workout and more than that, I don't want you to just go through the motions but have an understanding of why we're doing these workouts." Diana said.
Man, all of the 'Pump Queens' were complete yappers; it was like they tried to avoid any simplicity in what they were saying so they could weave in things between their walls of words. Being paranoid again, Aurora thought.
She took a sip of the new shake Diana had bought her before their session started. Pretty agreeable, this one was bigger than the last as that one was just a taster for Aurora.
"I put your free Pump Queens supplements in the shake so you didn't have to." She said.
