Fuck Kyle. Fuck everything about him. Imagine promising a 10% raise to anyone willing to work the night shift, and not coming through with it?
I can quit. That'll leave him in shambles knowing his precious facility will look like shit cause no one reracks their weights let alone throw away any water bottles or rags they've used.
I can quit. But I don't want to. Sure the hours are shit, I hardly get the daytime to do anything aside from sleeping. There's just nothing interesting happening in my life right now for me to risk being unemployed.
You see it'd be easy to clean during the day and simply pick up after people when the gym is busy. But, Kyle says that it's distracting to gym members when someone is constantly interrupting their workout...? Regardless, it pans out since hardly anyone works out during the ass crack of midnight.
Only a small amount of people have decided to be crazy enough to get a work out in during the few weeks that I've started working night shift. But on other nights it's me and the front desk worker who is 95% of the time just knocked out over the counter. Having to check in every time you enter the gym, I always just nod to the few that come in in approval once they see that she's asleep.
The speakers are blasting with music. My coworker is once again sleeping. I could do the same and fall asleep in my supply closet and clean up during my last hour before the day gets started but here I am wiping down dry sweat stains from workout machines.
Usually the place is a mess but I guess people found the decency to clean up after themselves.
The facility being in a suburban area has a repertoire of customers usually consisted of wanna be pro athlete high schoolers, the rarely occasional fitness influencer, cross fitters, powerlifters, or older people who let themselves go after having children.
On night shifts however. Your small handful will consist of dedicated professional bodybuilders and beginners who start strong by aching their body before they eventually wear themselves out and give up. Usually the latter.
I have witnessed so many people commence their journey yet fail after pushing it too far by coming to the gym during hours they're not used to.
On the flip side, you'll have him.
I see him come into the gym during the last few hours of my shift. Probably the only consistent early morning gym goer at this facility.
And it shows.
The early bird really does get the worm because for each day of the week he not only works out a specific muscle group but he uses EVERY piece of equipment we have for that muscle group to his advantage since no one is there for the taking.
Mondays he starts off strong with legs. I witness him pressing thrice his weight over his shoulders and placing his ass to grass every single rep. Then using the entire midsection of the gym floor to lunge that same weight as if he was carrying a simple feather.
His quads and ass double in size after it all. And I can easily tell which machine he heads to next because after each set, he leaves a trail of glorious sweat behind him on the floor and on each seat.
I would know because I have to clean it.
He sweats so much the one rag I use gets soaked just with his sweat alone.
One morning after I was done cleaning after him, I was feeling a bit exhausted not trusting myself behind the wheel if drove home.
They offer protein coffee at the snack bar but even then that shit tastes chalky.
Even if I was too tired, I still did not want to risk losing this shitty job so I tried my best. After collecting all of my cleaning supplies I was dispensing the used rags into the laundry bin in my utility closet.
HIS rag was just...sitting there.
Amongst the pile of rags used, his stood out like a sore thumb. We'll mainly because he is almost always the last gym goer before the full circuit day begins.
You see most simple either wipe their forehead, hands, neck, or each equipment they use and will only leave it 1/10 as soaked as he does.
