Friday morning, when Kate went to do her laundry and after our brunch at her favorite place, I used her ID to go to Equinox for my planned run. It was quite cold out and I was anticipating running outside, but when we walked by it Kate said that was her gym. We were going to go back so she could work out too, but when she realized that she'd have no other time to do her laundry, I decided to sneak in as her!
I was wearing a hat, scarf and sunglasses and I ended up talking on my phone while I checked in... I was super nervous about it, but casually whispered "hi!" while I checked in and while on the phone for work.
I had already asked Kate to tell me how the gym was laid out and so I looked like I knew where I was going. After dropping my stuff off in the locker room, I went to the treadmills and ran with my head down and my earphones on! After an hour on the treadmill, I had to do about a half hour of strength. I was in the home stretch on this clandestine visit!
After my 30 minutes of strength, a good looking trainer approached me to ask me my name KATE and how long I'd been a member SINCE THIS SUMMER and a lot of questions about my awesome wireless headphones... I was just about over with him since I told him I had to jump in the shower to clean up when he asked me my email address and offered me two free training sessions... What was I to do!? I gave him Kate's email address and said I'd see him around. Then I frantically texted her while giggling about the whole thing.
While in the shower there (I mean, I wasn't going to pass up lots of free NYC space! and free Kiehl's products!), I started thinking, "Maybe I should just go in case he sends someone in to get me out of here? Does he know that I'm not a member?" and random other paranoia. Kate texted me back saying he's accosted her several times and she was shocked that he didn't realize it wasn't her or at least that we weren't related...
Anyway, I got out of there clean and having done my workout ready for a very fun night with friends in NYC!
