Travis was a good guy, knew what he was talking about when it came to fitness and more than that, would help him to stay dedicated to his goals. Although Jason wanted to get started straight away, calling Travis just made too much sense. He would have to put up with a slight delay in his plans and hit the gym hard tomorrow. Perhaps tonight he could have a big, pre-workout bulk meal? In preperation for the next day. He was pretty sure that some muscleheads must do that. As it turned out, his plans were premature.
"Hey, that's my gym!" Travis said shortly after Jason had called him and explained where he was. "What are the odds of that, huh? Wait, have you been stalking me?"
"You wish." Jason snorted. "Do you have any time tomorrow to come down here with me and give me some advice?"
"How about I head there now? I was thinking about going tonight anyway. I can be there in about ten."
Ten of course turned into a little over twenty and when Travis finally did show up, Jason was fairly sure he knew why. His hair was perfectly styled and it looked like he had a freshly pressed t-shirt and shorts on, not to mention that he had the slow confident walk of someone who did everything at their own pace. College life had really changed him, but then it had done a number on Jason too he thought, running his hand lightly over his belly.
"Hey!" Travis said, his face breaking out into a wide grin as he walked up to Jason.
"Hey! Good to see you." Jason replied, realising just how much he meant it as he grinned back. He was used to the stuffing sessions for the most part and now that he had a plan to build up some muscle he felt like he had re-gained some control, but it had been a few weeks since he had last seen him and being around Travis he felt like he could truly let his guard down and just enjoy his company.
"It's hard to miss you. That's an interesting shirt and trouser combo you have going on there, buddy," Travis said, raising an eyebrow.
"Gimme a break." Jason said sighing. "These were the only clothes that I had at home that... were suitable."
"Uh-huh." Travis said, flatly.
"Besides, if I wanted advice on my clothes I'd call one of those snobby fashion majors. I called you because I need your help with working out... reps, sets and all of those... things."
"Well it looks like you've doing three sets of ten reps worth of vists to the vending machine here in the lobby," Travis replied, giving the side of Jason's belly a couple of gentle slaps. "You've really blown up since I last saw you, bud."
"You worry about looks too much." Jason grumbled. "Anyway," Jason continued, glancing down at Travis' midesction, "it looks like you've been focusing more on the nutrition side of your course than the exercise yourself." Jason reached over and gave Travis a poke in the gentle slope of a beginner belly beneath his performance t-shirt. Travis frowned, took a step back and sucked his little belly in.
"I guess I've been letting things slide a bit recently," he said, running his hand over his stomach. "Now I've got someone to go the gym with me, we can work on our goals together! I can tone up and I can help you to lose a few pounds and start building some muscle."
"Nah, I don't want to lose any fat. In fact I'm going to keep getting fatter, I just want some muscle to haul it around with." Travis folded his arms and looked dead in Jason's eyes for a few moments before a grin slowly slipped on to his face.
"You really are a one-off, huh? OK..." he said slowly, looking off into the distance, "I think I can work something out."
"You don't have a problem with that?" Jason asked cautiously.
"Your body, your choice." Travis said with a shrug. "It's best to be realistic and honest about your goals and you were certainly honest... but as you keep getting bigger you're going to have to keep being honest if you start getting any aches or pains during any exercises, or if your size makes doing certain things difficult. Communication is important between a personal trainer and his client."
"So you're going to be my personal trainer, huh?" Jason said with a smile.
"Of course, I'll help you out however... unusual your goals. Just don't be offended if I don't take any before and after photos for a testimonial." Travis said, winking.
"Thanks." Jason said, smiling warmly at his friend.
"Don't mention it. Now, how about we fill out the paperwork and get you enrolled here at the gym? It won't take too long, I can fill in most of the details for you."
"Sounds good!" Jason said, excited to start hulking out.
"I'm going to need a little time to figure out the best workout for your goals, so how about we get you signed up and then we..."
