Chapter 20 Chickens and ducks roam the gym
"Mr. Li, now that you've mastered the bench press technique, why don't you practice on your own? I have some other things to attend to."
What? You're leaving already?
Li Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.
However, upon closer reflection, I realized that I was there for a free trial, without spending a single penny, and the other person had already taught me the techniques for bench press. It wouldn't be right to continue bothering them.
"Okay then, I'll practice by myself for a bit. Thanks!"
After Lisa left, Li Yi looked at the barbell plates on the ground.
Although he knew that his physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, he didn't know exactly how strong they were.
Just to be on the safe side, let's add a little weight first.
So Li Luo took two 10-kilogram barbell plates.
Including the empty rod, it now weighs a total of forty kilograms.
After increasing the weight, he lay back down on the training bench.
I tried pushing it.
As a result, the weight of forty kilograms seemed no different from the previous empty shot.
"It's still too light!"
Li Yi shook his head, got up from the training bench, and took two more 10-kilogram barbell plates.
On the other side, after Lisa left, she walked up to a wavy-haired beauty in the gym and winked at her.
The wavy-haired beauty smiled slightly and immediately walked towards the bench press area.
Li Yi tried the 60-kilogram weight test. Although he could feel some weight this time, it was still too light.
He had just gotten up, preparing to increase the weight, when he noticed a beautiful woman standing next to him.
The other person was wearing a tight-fitting, low-cut top, revealing a large expanse of white skin on their chest.
At this moment, they are looking at themselves with a shocked expression.
"Wow~ handsome guy, you can actually push 60 kilograms, that's amazing."
Li Yi didn't know what was so shocking about 60 kilograms. "Hehe, it's alright."
"Wow, handsome, you must work out often. Your movements are so professional. Unlike me, I've been to the gym several times, but I still can't get the technique right, so every time I finish a bench press, my whole body aches."
Wait! My whole body aches?
Li Yi wasn't particularly interested in fitness, but when he heard the beautiful woman in front of him talk about feeling sore all over, he immediately perked up.
"Miss, your body aches and pains may be caused by improper movements, leading to muscle strain."
"That's what I thought too! But I just can't seem to get the hang of it. How about this, handsome, could you teach me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi shook his head. "Actually, I don't know much about fitness either, but I am a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine."
If you're really feeling aches and pains all over your body, you can go to the beauty salon where I work for a massage; I guarantee it will relieve your symptoms.
Upon hearing this, the busty beauty blinked, completely bewildered by Li Yi's words.
"Handsome guy...you're kidding, right?"
"What I said is true, and the prices in our store are not expensive either; a minute only costs eight hundred dollars."
Damn! I ran into a duck.
However, we are all in the same industry after all.
The busty beauty simply shook her head and didn't say anything unpleasant. "Forget it, eight hundred yuan is too expensive. I don't have the money."
Li Yi frowned upon hearing this.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. This beautiful woman in front of me can't even afford a personal trainer, so she probably really doesn't have the money.
I am a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, after all; I should have a benevolent heart!
Besides, I'm not exactly short of money right now; the most important thing is to gain experience points.
"How about this, going to a shop for a massage will definitely cost money, why don't you come to my place, I'll give you a free service."
You actually think you can get something for free? Screw you!
The busty woman rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "I'm not interested in massage. Go find someone else!"
"Don't like massage? No problem, besides massage, I also do cupping and scraping."
Moreover, beautiful lady, I can see that although you are wearing makeup, you have faint age spots on your face, plus your tongue has a yellow and greasy coating and you have bad breath when you speak.
Therefore, it is clear that you suffer from constipation and endocrine disorders...
What about cupping, scraping, yellow spots, and bad breath?
Where do you find people to play poker?
That's absolutely insane.
Upon hearing this, the busty beauty became so angry that her bust size seemed to increase by a whole size.
"Hey, beautiful, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet..."
As Li Yi was talking, he noticed that the beautiful woman who had approached him earlier had simply turned around and left.
Monster kill failed!
Left with no other option, he could only continue testing his physical fitness.
However, the next moment, just as Li Yi brought over two barbell plates, his former coach Lisa came back over.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, your free trial period has ended."
"Seriously? I've only been here for half an hour, and it's already over?"
If it were an ordinary person, the store wouldn't kick them out even if they didn't sign up for a membership card.
However, after learning about Li Yi's "profession" from her colleagues, Lisa didn't bother with further explanation. "That's the rule here. If you want to continue training, you'll have to pay for it."
Li Yi was speechless.
They promised a free trial, but it only lasted half an hour. It would have been better if there hadn't been any trial at all.
I have a feeling this gym is a rip-off.
He simply shook his head. "Forget it, I'm not playing anymore."
Lisa seemed to have expected this. "In that case, please leave immediately."
"..."
After leaving the Ya Shang Fitness Center, Li Yi originally planned to find another place to continue testing his physical fitness.
However, he was afraid of encountering another rip-off gym.
So, after thinking about it, I sent a message to Wang Tao to ask if she knew any reliable gyms.
After a while, Li Yi still hadn't received a reply from Wang Tao, but then he saw Xia Bingyu calling.
"Hello, Sister Xia?"
"Xiao Li, Taozi said you want to find a gym to work out?"
Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and then he remembered that Xia Bingyu was the volleyball coach of Jiang University.
Moreover, he was a professional athlete before.
You should ask her directly about physical fitness tests.
"Sister Xia, I don't want to work out, I just want to test my physical fitness. Can you recommend a reliable place?"
"You're a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, why are you testing your physical fitness for no reason? You must have a lot of free time."
Xia Bingyu mumbled something on the phone and then hung up.
What's going on?
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he heard his phone ping.
Upon picking it up, I saw that it was an address sent by Xia Bingyu.
Li Yi guessed that this should be the gym that the other party recommended.
So he immediately hailed a ride-hailing car and headed to the address on his phone.
Forty minutes later.
"Thunder Fury Free Fighting Gym"
Looking at the sign in front of him, Li Yi wondered if Xia Bingyu had sent the message to the wrong address.
I just wanted to find a gym, how did it turn into a boxing gym?
Just then, a black Volkswagen SUV pulled up beside him.
Then, a stunningly beautiful woman with short hair walked down the street.
Upon seeing her, Li Yi was slightly taken aback. "Sister Xia, what brings you here?"
"Nonsense! If I don't come, do you even know how to test physical fitness?" Xia Bingyu was still wearing a black tracksuit today, with two volleyballs still inside her clothes.
"Um... there are trainers at the gym, I can just ask them."
"Tch! The trainers at the gym don't know anything but how to sell memberships. If you want to get a fitness test, then do it properly."
As Xia Bingyu spoke, she pointed to the fighting arena in front of her.
"Jiangda has an important competition recently, so the physical testing rooms on campus are quite full. Otherwise, I would have taken you directly to the campus for the test."
Don't worry, this place is run by my friend, and it's fully equipped. You can test it however you like.
Li Yi didn't expect that his casual physical fitness test would lead to Xia Bingyu making the trip herself.
However, since we're already here, we can only remember this favor.
I can pay it back later.
