James Moorhouse, chartered accountant, has come to the realisation that his Personal Trainer is just a man, rather like himself.
‘I’ve been going twice a week now for three years’, said Mr Moorhouse. ‘Everybody round here has a PT. He gets me lifting weights, running, doing a swishy thing with big ropes, stuff like that. Then I noticed a few people doing the very same exercises but without a PT. After last week’s session I sneaked back, while Guy – that’s my trainer – was busy telling an HR director to “do another five reps” and asked one of them how it works.
‘Apparently, you can just decide which exercises to do yourself! I know, it sounds . . . decadent. Wrong. I discussed it with my Cleaning Instructor – she supervises me while I clean my house, seventy quid very well spent – and she pulled a disapproving face, so maybe I should just stick with the PT.
‘It isn’t illegal, is it?’
