Finally, I have been hired by a gym.

Seier Fitness is a boutique, family owned fitness centre in the heart of the city.

The building is the 1930s one I mentioned when writing about the sauna.

I’d dropped in a flyer a few weeks ago and it seemed like nobody had noticed.

Then, Mads Seier, the owner, got in touch and interviewed me.

Following this there was a trial class, which lasted an hour. Much of which was observed by Mads himself.

Mads seemed impressed but wanted to get feedback from the people who’d attended the class.

This process dragged a few days and I was on tenterhooks.

Then, last Friday night, I got an email welcoming me to Crew Seier, the small team of trainers and instructors who work at the gym.

So, now, 1730 Tuesday is my class.

I feel very much at home now.
