A Fitness Centre

I saw this photo and the article in one of the local newspapers. “Bill Green Opens Fitness Centre.” I turned to my wife and said, “That fellow looks familiar.” But only a bit later I realized why his name and face were familiar to me. Bill and I had been in the same football team at school, and I hadn’t seen him since boyhood.

This fitness centre had been written about in the papers a lot in the previous few weeks. Our town had always lacked in sports facilities, and everyone was excited about this good news. But the publicity had made the fitness centre the only topic of conversation in town and I was beginning to feel bored.

However, I myself wanted to work there. I had sent in my CV and had been full of hopes. But I never even got an interview. I believe the owner thought it was strange that a bank manager wanted to become a manager in a fitness centre.

From the photo, though, I had to admit Bill looked much more like a fitness centre manager than me. He did look great — fit, muscular and tanned! He had hardly changed since we went to school together. This made me change my life. I had gained a lot of weight. When I saw Bill’s photo, I made up my mind to get back into shape again!

I decided I would pop into the fitness centre and say hello to Bill. I also wondered if my friend Sam had also spotted Bill’s picture. By the way, Sam was the only person from school who I was still in contact with. So, I thought it would be great for the three of us to get together.

In the end it was exactly what the three of us did and we had a good time catching up on each other’s lives. That was three years ago. Nowadays we often see each other, organize picnics and days out with our families. And we have been spending a lot of time at the fitness centre. I’m so happy I picked up and read that newspaper!
