@sydmccray21: a happy starter at the gym 🏋️😄 status: closed
Louis liked the gym this time of year. There were still some New Years stragglers, turning up to convince themselves they were going to work out only to spend 30 minutes on their phones unstead. It wasn’t optional for the Foxes, their whole lives kind of evolved around keeping in shape so even though going to the gym was routine, a habit even, by this point, it got boring.
So, Louis looked out for things to keep him entertained. His favourites were the people that turned up regularly, chests puffed out as they competed with themselves to see how much they could lift, in comparison to the person they were 12 hours ago. What Louis really loved was when people competed with each other.
He was taking a water break and scanned the room, mentally noting where the familiar faces were incase he needed someone to spot him. Then, off in the corner of his eye, that was when he spotted them: Two fairly skinny guys, not faces he’d ever seen before, on treadmills. One would look at the speed of the other then turn theirs up slightly, then the other would do the same. Right now they were jogging, but Louis could see that soon they’d be in sprinting territory and their faces were already red.
“Hey,” he said to Sydney, needing to share this moment with someone. “Check out the all-stars down there.” He nodded in their direction.
