🏋️♂️ A Thousand Miles From Comfort by @littlelouishiccups {E, 74k}
It wasn’t like Louis was Lindsay Lohan or Justin Beiber. He’d had one fucking meltdown and a handful of public drunken accidents. And now he could never screw up ever again. He hit the STOP button on the treadmill and matched his pace as it slowed to a stop.
“It’s not break time yet!” Harry told Louis, tapping his watch with a stern expression. “Come on, you were doing so well! Don’t quit now! Ten more minutes and then you can have a break!”
“I don’t want to be here anymore,” Louis spat. “It’s not anything you did, okay? I just… I don’t know. I can’t do this. I hate playing the stupid media game. That’s what all of this is! There’s no point.”
In which Louis is a closeted gay actor and a recovering addict with a troubled past. Harry is the personal trainer who helps him get his life back in shape.
With Liam as Louis' childhood best friend, Zayn as a famous R&B artist, and Niall as a fanboy.
🏋️♂️ Small Doses (Loving You It's Explosive) by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird {E, 38k}
Louis Tomlinson finds himself at Vitality Fitness to try and turn his life around after having left his cheating boyfriend of four years. The gym's owner, Liam, quickly becomes a good friend, but his right hand man is rude and dismissive from the get-go.
Louis and Harry continue to clash all while Harry is trying to move his way up the ranks in Manchester's amateur boxing circuit, but they can't seem to stay away from each other.
🏋️♂️ let me carry your weight by @soldouthaz {E, 28k}
louis is fresh out of a bad relationship with someone who made him feel awful about how he looked. on his journey to better himself, he meets harry - the ridiculously attractive and fit personal trainer.
🏋️♂️ We Can Work It Out by kassio / @fakedeepplantjerker {E, 24k}
Louis Tomlinson had big plans for his last year of uni. He was going to hit the gym, he was going to get hot, and he was finally going to catch the eye of the girl of his dreams.
Enter Harry Styles, friend-of-a-friend and part-time personal trainer. Falling for him was never part of Louis’ plan.
🏋️♂️ A blur of different faces but none of them were you by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 22k}
Harry thought he had this whole personal training thing down until a boy with blue eyes wanders into his gym.
or Harry is Louis' trainer at the gym and Niall is a horrible insult to physically fit people everywhere.
🏋️♂️ (Won't You) Stay to the A.M. by @lululawrence {NR, 15k}
Harry tucked a few loose strands back up into the bun on top of his head and headed to the front of the building. He really would rather no one saw him behind the gym where he worked if possible so they wouldn't have a chance to catch on that the address he gave for work was actually his friend Ed’s and the number belonged to his buddy Niall. Harry didn’t like the term homeless, because he was making at least some money now and he was actively looking for a better gig so he could actually afford at least a bed in this massive city, but that’s basically what he was. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, he knew that, sometimes shit just happened and this was how it turned out, but he also didn’t want to broadcast his situation if he didn’t have to either. Especially if Louis Tomlinson, Britain's most talented young actor, was going to be frequenting Harry's place of employment on a regular basis.

“Well, I’m gonna go work out now, so…” Harry said, his voice trailing off.
Louis nodded. “Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Go get, uh, you know, strong and buff.”
What?
Louis wanted to die.
“Um, thanks?” Harry said. “Um…”
Without another word, Harry walked away from the desk.
Louis pinched his thigh – hard – hoping that was some terrible, awkward nightmare that he might soon wake up from.

Or, the one where Louis works at Harry's new gym and neither one of them knows how to hold a coherent conversation with the other.
🏋️♂️ The unwanted plus one by SweetieR {M, 14k}
Harry Styles has no time for love.
Love was stupid.
Harry has his studies, his gym sessions and Louis.
His Louis.
Which is why he's very strangely confused - and upset, when Louis brings his new "Alpha" to their gym sessions.
Again and again.
What the hell is wrong with that Omega?
(And what is wrong with Harry's inner Alpha?)
🏋️♂️ i can't help myself from how my heart is racing by kaystayskz {E, 13k}
Louis is just trying to be a good friend by working out at the gym that Liam owns. He never expected to (quite literally) run into Harry, the hot boxer who sings embarrassing songs in the locker room showers.
🏋️♂️ Personal Trainer (series) by LaDiDah {T, 10k}
Louis is dumped by his ex and after lamenting the state of his thighs, hires Harry to get him back into shape. But what will happen when Harry sees no room for improvement?
🏋️♂️ researching volcanoes, and blowing my mind by vashtaneradas {NR, 8k}
au; there's a gym and a juice bar and a surplus of dumb flirty boys being dumb and flirty.
🏋️♂️ breakfast of champions by @turnyourankle {E, 6k}
An injury relegates Harry to the weight room; Louis wears a lot of interesting shirts.
AKA Harry and Louis are gym buddies.
🏋️♂️ Body Stay Vicious by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28 {E, 5k}
Harry looks at himself in the mirror again, and gasps at what he sees.
The way his sweaty curls are sticking to his forehead while his bare and glistening chest is practically heaving out breaths as he stands in the middle of the otherwise empty gym with his hand down his shorts working over his length.
It makes a filthy picture. He moans into the empty space, and it echos off the cement walls.
Suddenly there is a raspy voice from over Harry’s shoulder.
“Can’t say I’ve ever done that particular exercise in the gym. Guess I’ve been working out wrong.”
Harry looks up in horror, and through the mirror, he locks eyes with none other than the blue-eyed stranger he’s been fantasizing about this whole time.
(Or the one where Harry is feeling himself in the gym and gets a little carried away. Of course his gym crush just happens to walk in. They work it out).
🏋️♂️ The Gods Wish They Believed In Us by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28 {E, 4k}
Harry smirks, resting his hands on the mat below him and leaning backwards. “I think I know how I could encourage you to get done with your workout a bit quicker.”
Harry’s not wearing a shirt, which isn’t an uncommon occurrence. Just a tiny pair of cherry red gym shorts cling to his muscular hips. Although the term gym might be a bit generous. They’re so small they would barely be appropriate for the beach.
Not that Louis is complaining, mind you. It’s just an observation.
(Or the one where Louis is struggling to find motivation to finish his workout. Harry has an unconventional and effective way to encourage him).
🏋️♂️ At The Gym by Larry_Klaine_Stylinson {M, 4k}
Harry and Gemma like to go to the gym together. One day when they go, there seems to be a new fitness instructor working there, and he catches Harry's eye. Gemma is determined to get them together.
🏋️♂️ The Feathered Peacock Pose by Idzzdi / @hannahazza {G, 2k}
Based off of this promt: “Liam has been trying to get Harry to the gym for ages with him and he finally decides to go and he’s so happy he did because there is a very attractive yoga instructor named Louis and Harry decides to pretend he is advanced in yoga to get Lou’s phone number.”
