They pump arms
strong
in a time bash
hard
agonising push 
addict rhythm of sinews, muscles
gym beefs
aerobic heart pounding,
mat bend.

Envious beginners
with sideline glances
desiring 
instant sculpture Abs
striving, hiding newbie status
watching trainers bearing “been there” grins.
gym bunnies and sweat buddies
weight loss, shaved perspiration bodies
for two weeks
and quit!
