That Trainer













I don't know that I'd have done this song if I'd realized Garth Brooks 


was such a hardass about sharing his work...



I went to work out with a trainer,
A fat-ass guy with flab to spare.
She was a scary Nazi woman,
With muscles on her everywhere.
We had a session set for noontime,
Spandex pants on my rear end.
One word from Mistress Helga,
I knew she wasn’t my dear friend.

She came up to me in her office,
A glint of evil in her eyes.
She told me in a voice filled with menace,
“Put down that stupid bag of fries!”
I threw the sack down in the trash can,
And wiped the ketchup from my chin.
A hard expression covered her face,
“Let’s let the punishment begin!”



She had a need to make me whimper.
To attack my body like a viper.
To watch me cry just like a baby
Who had crapped all in his diaper.
She had to keep me doing lunges,
‘Til my kneecaps loudly popped
Worked me out ‘til I said “owwwth”
Threw up a bit inside my mouth,
And my heart had nearly stopped.



That savage bitch was all up on me.


Nothing between us but weight stuff.


When I told her, “I can’t lift that.” 


She softly whispered “You creampuff!”


And then I watched her hands of iron 


Snatch the bar up and do a curl.
There’s never been another summer,


When I felt like such a little girl.





She had a need to make me stronger,
To ignore every complaint.
To bend my body to it’s limit,
And catch me when I start to faint.
We worked out for an entire hour.
Sixty minutes of agony.
She made me lift a ton.
Someone please call 9-1-1,
I think I’m now an amputee.

I often think about that session.


The sweat, the leg lifts, and the screams.
I’ve got new bumps on my arms now,
Or at least that’s what it seems. 


And every time I hit the gym now,
I make my workouts more intense.
I hope she never learns I are
The person who keyed up her car.
Or from her I’ll have no defense.



She had a need to make me sweat more.


To raise my workouts up a notch.
To laugh when I dropped dumbbells
On my foot or on my crotch.
She was as mean as a barracuda.
She thought that I was pretty strange.
I made her kind of angry,
She just stared at me blankly,


When I paid with a jar of change.





Yeah, I’d say she was pretty pissed.
Hit me with an open fist.  

 
Now I’m on her Sh*t list.

Ways I’ve Welcomed New Folks to the Gym

  • “Excuse me, but that’s the treadmill you have to run on backwards.”
     
  • “I wouldn't bother with a locker; just let me hang on to your valuables.
     
  • “Wow! Is that all the weight you’re gonna put on there?


  • “You should warm up for at least 5 seconds before running as fast as you can.”

  • “Can you spot me… five bucks?”

  • “Your gym nickname is ‘Candy-Ass’”.

  • “This is the best elliptical; I’ll let you have it for $5.”

  • “Have you noticed that my muscles are bumpier than yours?”

  • “The easiest personal trainer? That’d probably be Frances other there, the short-haired chick with all the prison tattoos.”

  • “It’s good to start off with way more than you can lift and go from there.”

  • “Thong Thursday is pretty much mandatory around here.”

  • “C’mon... I’ll sit in your lap and we can do the rowing machine together.”

  • “Just do what I do… and don’t forget to yodel.”

  • “I can only do 500 chin-ups. How about you?”

  • “Here… I wiped the sweaty sweat off the machine with my sweaty towel.”

  • “Here,  I’ll poke you in the stomach while you do ab crunches.”

  • “Spinning class? Oh, everyone just spins around and around until they get really dizzy and fall down.”

  • “I usually lose ten to fifteen pounds per workout.”
