The Girl in the Gym

A gym trainer in friendship with a scientist earns economic fortune after the extraordinary scientific discovery of portability of goods; She overpowers the geopolitics of earth by reversing the dominion of man over women in corporate, social and political life

The protagonist of the story Inaya is a gym trainer who is assigned personal training at The Zero Bulge Fitness to a failed quantum scientist Jack, who is well-built but had unfortunately gone to seed while cooped up in his lab.

Inaya, a woman who seemed to be a cut above all others was able to hold her own against men and women. Calling her tough, stubborn, independent, difficult or aggressive would be an understatement, as her skill was unlike any other and when she moved, it was with just precision that one could almost hear the wind whoosh. She gave off an aura of calm strength, and that she was on a quest to heal the world, not conquer it. Underneath it, all was inexplicable anger, which was never evident but always perceptible. Despite her sweet face, most of her trainees begged to be assigned to someone else. She always pushed them hard and barely gave them time to breathe.

Jack, like all of them, found it extremely tough to even keep up with her, especially during aerobics. However, he proved that he was made of sterner stuff, when he doggedly kept going on, despite panting and sweating all the time. Inaya looked after his fitness, weight training, Pilates and everything else that she could think of. Slowly, she found herself accompanying him even when it was not strictly required, like to the library to the juice bar. It happened without either of them realizing, they were becoming friends.
