Ariel suggests you join a class.

“You know they offer free classes here at the gym. They’re usually a really good workout. Wanna do one?” Ariel suggests.

You both look at the class schedule and see that in a few minutes a boxing class is going to start.

“Hey, that seems like it could be fun. I’ve heard that boxing classes are a serious workout,” you have to admit that you are slightly motivated by the look of the various gentlemen standing around the door waiting for the class. Judging from the demographics of the gym, hot dudes and middle aged women, you feel like the boxing class will be entertaining. Who knows, maybe even Ariel will find that she enjoys some male attention.

The two of you walk towards the group waiting for the class. All of the guys seem like they’re yuppies in their thirties. All of them are reasonably attractive, but there are really three guys who stand out. One is a giant blonde Thor type with a beard. Another is a small but muscular black guys with a goatee. The last is a supremely preppie looking guy with brown hair who kinda looks like a douche who wears argyle socks and moccasins.

Once the two of you walk up you’re both immediately the center of attention. The guys start chatting you both up, which of course Ariel bungles impressively, but you manage to stay close to her to help her recover. When the instructor arrives you’re surprised to see that she’s a woman, and not a particularly ripped woman either. She has black hair that is braided in to pig-tails. She’s wearing a loose fitting t-shirt and long shorts that makes it difficult to assess her body type. It’s no surprise why she’s running the class though, she’s very authoritative and the class gets started right away.

Initially she just has you doing typical exercises, albeit intensely, but after a few minutes she hands out boxing gloves and you’re all asked to partner up. You have to decide quickly who you’d like to partner up with.
