Last week, before one of my training sessions, Trainer approached me and asked if I wanted to participate in something. He's been a little quiet on the "you should run a 5K" front lately, so I thought he had one to suggest, and I would have even said yes to it because my biggest obstacle is picking one out of the many going on this year.
However, it turns out it was a contest for the trainers to pick one (or more? I didn't get all the rules) client that they train, submit before and after pictures of them, and one of them would win some money based on whether the client lost the most weight or looks the best or still managed to not quit the gym after all the torture (the criteria was never explained to me). The client would win some training sessions and/or membership time, and could end up on a flyer advertising the gym that gets mailed out to the public. They'd have to write a little blurb about how the gym and their trainer has changed or helped them. I agreed and he had his manager take a picture of me, and she asked me to email her a before picture.
This was Thursday, and that was the deadline (nothing like waiting until the last minute, typical male!) so I am still waiting to hear who won. I would think Trainer will message me when he knows something, but I train with him again tomorrow night and will ask him if he's heard anything.
In a way I don't really want to win because I'd rather not have my fat-ass before picture spread out around the Greater Toronto Area and I hate writing things about myself, but I think it would be a nice reward.
I'll keep you posted!
