Before arriving at the gym Amaya had nibbled at the sandwich. She knew she needed the nutrients and energy, but her stomach wasn't ready for so much food. So she had saved the rest for later. As she entered the gym the guy behind the counter gave her startled look. "Hey, Devin," Amaya gave a sheepish smile. Devin worked at the gym, so obviously he always had a toned body. He usually worked as a personal trainer, but today it looked like he was stuck behind the counter. "Uh, hey Amaya," He said, gathering himself up. Devin had helped Amaya when she first started out at the gym and even afterwards they still helped each other out when one of them needed spotting. Amaya didn't really go to the gym all that much. Maybe once a week? But then again she also had martial arts training practically every other day.

Amaya handed Devin her gym membership card and he barely glanced at it before handing it back. "So what's with the half zombie look?" Devin asked bluntly. Amaya sighed, "I broke up with my boyfriend." "It's about damn time!" Devin grinned. "Oh, but I guess you aren't taking it well? Um, well, enjoy your stay?" He chuckled uncertainly. Amaya smiled, at least he was trying.

Amaya shook her head at the radio's mention of her name again. However, a small smile did form against her lips. It must have been the exercise that improved her mood. Amaya usually worked on her core muscles and upper body strength at the gym. Her legs were already strong. Today, however, was different. Since she was out of shape all over, she decided to work up to her usual routine. So she listened to Nick Weston's cheesy song while her feet thumped in a steady rhythm underneath her.

Amaya checked her phone. She had a text. Looks like one of her coworkers needs a replacement. After a moment of thought, Amaya decided that she could go to work today. So she texted her coworkers back. Within the next minute a text came back with a message of thanks and the time of the shift. Quickly looking at the time, Amaya realized she still had 3 hours. But, Amaya still needed to do other things, so she got off her treadmill and gathered her things to head to the showers.
