  • Hey! My name is Patrick. I’m new to the gym.

  • Hey Patrick. I’m Michael. I’m the instructor here. Tell me how can I help you?

  • I was wondering if you could suggest some exercises to reduce my love handles.

  • Sure. This is a quite common problem among girls too.

  • Yeah! I sit all day, and hardly get a chance to exercise.

  • Alright! Youll need to do a lot of cardio to fix that.

  • Hi! My name is Patrick.

  • Heya, I’m Brian.

  • Do you come at the same time everyday?

  • Yup. I come directly from my office, so it’s pretty much the same time everyday. What about you?

  • Today is my first day at the gym, but I guess I’ll be here at this time every day.

  • Alright! Good luck mate. I hope you enjoy your gym time.

  • Thanks man! I’ll see you around.

  • Of course. I'm sure you will!

  • I was wondering if I should get a treadmill at home.

  • Well, that’s not a good idea if youre going to be a regular at the gym.

  • I know, but my exercise regime is shot! I skip out too many days.

  • That’s not good for you buddy. If you want I can send you reminders about gym-time to your phone.

  • Yeah? That’d be great!. Thanks chief!

  • No problems mate!

  • Dammit Sofia! Youve lost a lot of weight.

  • You think so Patrick? I’ve been working out for a couple of months now.

  • Youve made some fantastic progress! How much have you lost? 10 kilos?

  • No, not really. It’s actually 7.

  • Well... it has made a hell of a difference to you!

  • Thanks Patrick. Alright I better be going. I’ve got some running to do!

  • Hey Sofia! Can we go out sometime?

  • Maybe Patrick. Goodbye!
