My appointments with Alex are a thing I genuinely look forward to Thursday mornings. It's not just because he's quantifiably shifting my body composition, but because he's a total gossip, and the gym we meet at feels like a setting in a modern day Edith Wharton novel. Lots of C list celebs and the rich people you kind of know. Alex trains vaguely everyone, so we end up swapping (harmless! And good natured!) stories while I'm doing weighted step-ups and the hour goes by so so fast.
