âWhat about 200,000?â
âAhâ¦â
All the private coaches went crazy, except for the two who were supported by their parents; the others all yelled excitedly.
200,000 for a year of private coaching, and having them teach every day, even half a day, was a deal.
Greg Jensen said, âDonât worry, you neednât be concerned; Iâm usually quite busy with work, and I probably wonât get to train that many times in a year.â
âAh, youâre not going to train that often in a year and still offer 200,000?â
âMy God, boss, choose me, choose me; whatever you want me to do is fine, even warming your bed is okay.â
Following the voice, Greg looked over and was met with a pair of huge pectorals.
Pfft!
He almost threw up and, pulling a bewildered Jophia Locke with him, made his way outside. As they passed by King Kong Barbie, he didnât forget to say,
âGet the membership fee from Jophia Locke. Iâll have her come to make up the difference later.â
âAlright.â
If private coaches attracted members to the club, even if the members didnât train at the club, they still had to pay the annual fee to the club.
That was the rule.
Otherwise, if everyone engaged in transactions outside the club, the club wouldnât survive, and the private coaches would have no place to teach. It was a reciprocal arrangement.
Once outside, Jophia Locke finally snapped out of it, quickly withdrew her hand, and said,
âMr. Jensen, Iâve thought about it and 200,000 might be a bit much. Letâs stick to 120,000.â
âHa-ha, sure, you call the shots.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Greg laughed, thinking to himself that this girl was indeed kind-hearted, âWhere are you off to next?â
Upon hearing Gregâs agreement, Jophia couldnât help but smile happily and said, âLet me take you to my place. Iâve rented a small space on the eleventh floor of the building; itâs a classroom I set up myself.â
Greg exclaimed in surprise, âYou have your own classroom?â
âYes, Iâm not just a private coach at a club; I provide high-end personal training, the very private kind.â
Jophiaâs face beamed with pride, her previously frosty demeanor melting away to reveal the gentle image of the girl next door.
It was evident that she was quite confident in her private coaching skills.
She continued with a smile, âIâve analyzed the market and also incorporated some practices from abroad, and Iâve found that privacy is a crucial element in high-end personal training.
Just imagine, youâre worth a hundred million, yet youâre forced to squeeze into the same gym with a bunch of people who make a few thousand a month.
Not to mention, the gym is where many embarrassing situations can occur. Surely, you wouldnât like others to witness those moments, would you?â
âYouâre absolutely right, letâs go.â
Greg totally agreed with Jophiaâs point of view; she was thinking thoroughly. However, he couldnât help but remind her,
âHave you considered the possibility that the reason you havenât had any clients these past few months is because the customers coming to your club donât even have a net worth in the millions?â
At these words, Jophia stopped in her tracks, a bit incredulous as she said, âThat shouldnât be possible, right?
Our club is the best in Jamae City. The wealthy who want to work out would definitely come here.â
Watching her swear by it, Greg couldnât help but laugh and said, âIs there a possibility that those wealthy individuals already have gyms in their residences, so they donât need to visit external ones?â
âAh, really?â Jophia was dumbfounded.
Greg exaggeratedly shrugged his shoulders with a laugh, saying, âI wouldnât know about that, Iâm not a wealthy person.â
Jophia seemed to be struck by Gregâs words, pondering over her long efforts which may have been misguided, and she couldnât help feeling a bit disheartened.
She pouted and humphed, âIf you can spend tens of thousands on my course, then if youâre not a rich person, who is?â
âHa ha, but I donât have an apartment in Jamae City.â
âThen buy one. After all, houses in Jamae arenât that expensive for you.â
The two chatted as they rode the elevator up to the tenth floor.
This floor was all office spaces, with over a dozen companies. A few steps in any direction and you could see company signs hanging on the doors.
Jophia Locke led Greg Jensen to the end of the hallway, opened the fingerprint lock, and pushed open a glass door.
Inside was pitch dark. After she turned on the lights, Greg followed her around a partition and then realized it was a tiny gym.
Indeed, it was a bona fide small gym, just about thirty square meters.
There were also a few small rooms inside. Greg thought they were part of the gym and started to walk in, but Jophia Locke tugged at him.
Her face was slightly red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, âThose were supposed to be restrooms and bathrooms for the students, but⦠I had to move in here when my previous apartment lease ended.
Donât worry, as soon as you pay for the personal training, Iâll move out right away. After that, you can shower and rest there after your training sessions.â
Greg Jensen laughed and said, âThen letâs not look at it now. Give me your card number, and Iâll transfer the payment.â
âAlright.â
Jophia Locke quickly recited her card number, then hesitated and said, âActually⦠you donât have to pay so much right now.â
âThatâs okay, Iâll give it all to you at once, to save you the trouble of asking me later.â
Greg laughed, pulled out his phone, and transferred the money to her. Then he said, âCould you first help me try out the barbell?â
Jophia Locke, who had received the money, seemed very happy and excited, nodding eagerly, âOf course, but⦠didnât you bring your workout clothes?â
âUh, no, I actually just wanted to see how strong I am today.â
âNo problem, I have a new set of workout clothes here. You can wear those for now.â
Jophia Lockeâs face turned red again, and she stammered, âJust⦠wait here for a moment. Iâll tidy up the room.â
After saying that, she hurried into the back room.
Greg Jensen curiously looked around and discovered that, although her place was small, it featured a complete range of equipment.
It was no worse than the club they had just been in. The only issue was that the space was a bit cramped, which made it seem crowded.
Soon, Jophia Locke came out with a set of brand new workout clothes.
âPlease go change into these.â
âOkay.â
Greg Jensen took the clothes and went into the resting room.
The resting room was very tidy. Jophia Locke must have put away her personal belongings when she went in earlier.
Greg didnât mind. He took off his clothes and changed into the workout outfit.
It was his first time wearing such gear, and he was a bit uncomfortableâmainly because it was so tight, almost feeling like he was wrapped up.
But since everyone else wore these kinds of clothes, he didnât want to make a fuss about it; he just put on the workout outfit and walked out.
Jophia Locke was wiping the equipment with a cloth. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and was stunned to see Greg Jensen in the workout outfit.
Now, she somewhat doubted whether Greg Jensen wanted her as a personal trainer for fitness or for some other motive.
The reason was simple: Greg Jensen had too good of a physique.
Of course, not the kind of âgoodâ that the bodybuilding community talks about, but the standard of a handsome man in the eyes of the general public.
Greg Jensenâs build was very proportionate overall, with distinct muscle lines, yet not the blocky, sharp-edged type.
Especiallyâ¦
When she saw Greg Jensenâs smooth, muscular thighs, Jophia Lockeâs face turned beet red all at once.
