On the weekend, the renovated gym next to the mountain-side villa area opened for business. Lynch arrived at nine o 'clock in the morning.
Outside the gym, a large number of posters and various bodybuilding champions showed their beautiful bodies to passers-by. There were both men and women.
In this period, bodybuilding did not have much "technology". People would not take certain drugs to speed up the process of bodybuilding, nor would they inject various strange things into their muscles to achieve similar effects.
Everyone still maintained the most pure "classical bodybuilding" style, which meant that they had broad backs and shoulders, but an extremely thin waist.
People admired the inverted triangle on the upper body, thinking that this was the true beauty. It was completely different from the aesthetics of the back, where the upper and lower body were equally thick and full of muscle.
Sometimes you would even be afraid that they would suddenly be broken from the waist!
At this time, the temperature was only about 20 degrees Celsius. Looking at the men and women in simple clothes with oil all over their bodies, Lynch suddenly felt a little sick of watching them do all kinds of bodybuilding poses in the windows of the gym and on the mats outside the gym.
Fortunately, Sella also invited some rich ladies and people from the fashion industry to support the event. It was easy for a woman to expand her social circle as long as she had money.
Sella had established relationships with many rich ladies. As long as they could do hair or beauty together, or go to a fashion week together, it was enough to make them good friends.
There was something terrible in the way the rich ladies looked at the bodybuilders. It was like … a wild dog that saw food on the side of the road, full of some kind of naked desire.
Such an undisguised gaze made the bodybuilders crazily show off each of their muscles. If it were not for the Federation's law that prohibited people to appear naked in public, they might have wanted to show off their hidden parts.
On the contrary, the attention of the bodybuilding ladies was not so strong.
In short, today's opening ceremony was very lively, which also attracted many rich ladies in the mountain-side villa area and nearby passers-by.
As everyone knew, the people who lived here never worried about "income". They only worried about how to spend their time, especially the rich ladies.
"Lynch, over here!"
Sella suddenly saw Lynch standing on the side of the road and immediately raised her hand and shouted his name.
Lynch quickly came over and hugged Sela. "It's great that you can come. I was wondering if you overslept."
As she spoke, she let go of Lynch and pulled him to the front of a group of noble ladies. With a flaunting look on her face, she said, "Let me introduce you. Perhaps you know him. He is my son, Lynch."
The undisguised pride in his tone gave Lynch a … very strange feeling. He couldn't quite describe it because he had never experienced such a feeling before.
This was the case in this life, and he had never experienced it in his previous life.
The noblewomen covered their mouths with their hands or folding fans to maintain their ladylike image. "My God, I never knew he was your son, Sylar."
Some people would say that, while others would say, "I'm so envious of you, Sela. You're an enviable woman!"
In short, all kinds of compliments came pouring in, and Sela couldn't stop smiling.
After she pulled Lynch around the crowd for a while, she gave him a key.
A key and a number plate were connected by a bracelet. "Storage Box No. 1 will always be yours. You can come here anytime and anywhere!"
Then Sela went to socialize again. She seemed to be very good at such occasions. It was hard to imagine that just three years ago, she was just a humble full-time housewife who revolved around the boiler and the family.
After watching Sela leave, Kerman came out of nowhere. "Lynch …"
He shouted. Lynch looked back and saw him. He reached out and shook hands with him. "Today's opening seems to be very successful. I saw a lot of people registered as members."
There were specialized people who could register members anytime and anywhere for those who needed it, and the membership fee was not cheap.
There were a total of four categories, from the 99 yuan per month ordinary membership to the 699 yuan advanced membership.
In addition, there were some one-on-one fitness classes, and the cheapest one was 29.99 yuan per class.
Even so, Lynch noticed that many people, especially the rich ladies, had booked their own personal fitness trainers.
They looked at the bodybuilders in the window of the gym as if they were selecting goods, and then made an order. There was no doubt that their purpose was not so simple.
Kerman was very excited for many reasons. "Yes, we already have more than 100 members, and we will continue to increase in the future."
More than 100 members could bring in at least 10,000 yuan a month, which was enough to pay the rent here and some surplus to pay the staff's salary.
If more members came, then there would be profits.
In the process of trading various "goods", some goods were very rogue, because these goods did not give the users any chance to experience them at all. They would charge all the fees before they experienced them.
This was different from traditional goods. Even if it was just an ordinary apple, the buyer had the right to choose in front of the fruit stall, and even taste a small piece of fruit before deciding whether to buy the goods they chose.
If they did not find something they were satisfied with, they could just leave.
However, goods related to "education" were not within this range, just like schools.
The school would not allow students to pay all the tuition fees after graduation. Before the students even started their studies, they had to pay all the fees without missing a single cent.
If the students did not succeed in acquiring knowledge during their studies, the schools would not be responsible. They would think that the problem was caused by the students themselves, not by them.
It was the same for bodybuilders. Regardless of whether these people could meet their physical and health needs through fitness management, they had to pay all the fees at the beginning.
As for whether the results were achieved after the workout?
That was not the problem of the gym. It was the customers who did not manage their own bodies well, and it had nothing to do with the gym.
No one had ever sued the school, saying that the school did not fulfill its responsibility to let them or their children become successful people.
No one had ever sued the gym, saying that the gym did not fulfill its responsibility to let them have a perfect body like the bodybuilders.
There had never been a problem with the payment because all the expenses had been settled from the very beginning.
Lynch tilted his head and walked away from the crowd with Kerman. "This is Boone. The people who live around here are very rich. I don't want to hear any rumors about this place. Do you understand what I mean?"
Kerman looked at Lynch blankly. From his silly look, Lynch realized that he did not understand.
"All personal trainers can have physical contact with their clients during the workout, but they are absolutely not allowed to work out naked or have any further contact. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't want people to think that this is a call-in service. At least during their working hours, I don't want them to have anything to do with their clients."
"As for outside of working hours, I don't care. That's their own private time. They are free to do whatever they want. Do you understand?"
Kerman was a little embarrassed. This was what he used to do.
At that time, when he worked out with the female clients, he often suggested that they take off their clothes and work out naked together.
He said that this way, they could better detect their physical movements and adjust in time.
Even in the locker room and bathroom, he had some immoral sex with some of the female clients.
He also knew very well that the female clients' fitness was just a part of their time. Their real purpose was to find excitement and comfort.
Not everyone was as obsessed with fitness as Sylar.
And this was also the main source of income for the fitness trainers. Those rich women would spend a lot of money on their private fitness classes, dozens of classes at a time.
Sometimes they would even buy some gifts for them. Kerman had received a lot of gifts.
From clothes, to accessories, ties, leather shoes, watches, and so on, he had received a lot.
This was also how he and Sela had a relationship and contact, so when talking about this, Kerman was a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, he was a fitness trainer, but the things they did always made people feel that they were … like men and women.
"You have to keep an eye on those fitness trainers. Look at those women's eyes. I doubt your promise will work."
"If someone sues Yolme because of these problems …" Lynch took out a cigarette and lit it. He looked at Kerman as he blew out the smoke. "Then you will bear the responsibility!"
Lynch knew that some sexual innuendo, or even physical contact, could easily lead to accidents.
Exercise itself would stimulate the body to secrete certain hormones, so sometimes people would have a strong sexual impulse after high-intensity fitness or sports.
They would always want to do something!
Kerman also realized that Lynch was not joking. He gritted his teeth. "I will keep an eye on them."
After returning to the crowd, Kerman went back to the store. Lynch continued to do his job dutifully, being a mascot or a living signboard.
The opening ceremony didn't end until noon. After the crowd dispersed, there were already some people working out in the empty gym, and most of them were the rich women.
They didn't care much about fitness. Instead, they were interested in the muscles of the fitness trainers.
