"come on the grand opening is happening soon," Olivia said as they rushed to Revision Gym. She was the most athletic in the group. she kept her black hair tied in a ponytail. right behind her was Ashley. She was the second most athletic of the group.
"If we are going to the gym then why aren't we going to the ladies' gym?" she said as she turned to her right. Megan and her were training to be professional swimmers. Megan was adjusting her watermelon-themed backpack before answering. "because this one is closer. besides don't you want to check out the hot guys" she said as they stopped at a crosswalk.
As the cars zoomed by they saw the last two of their group catching up. "okay when I said I was serious about building muscle, I didn't mean before we got to the gym." Mary said. her long blond hair is now a mess. next to her was Piper equally as exhausted. "yeah why couldn't we have just taken the car or even a bus" she said.
"Hey, we're going to a brand new gym. besides we should get our steps in." Olivia said as the crosswalk was now clear to walk across. As Olivia had predicted they arrived right as the ribbon was being cut. "...without further ado, this revision gym is now open," Alistair said as he cut the ribbon. he was dressed in expert gym clothes that showed off his impressively hairy body.
People soon entered the gym including the five friends. what they saw was amazing. the gym already looked big on the outside. however, it was like another place on the inside. there were 5 areas in total.
first was listed as the mammal area. these included bears, rabbits, wolves, and so on. Next was the fish area. this area was basically a giant pool nestled between two zones. in it, several sharks, puffer-fish, and mermen were swimming.
the roof was impossibly higher than the outside of the building. this was where the bird area was. Griffins, dragons, and hawks could all be seen preparing their equipment. the reptile area was the farthest away. it consists of snakes, crocodiles, and hydras. Finally were the amphibians. this was the opposite of the reptiles and connected with the fish areas.
the brief shock was turned to awe as they breathed in the scented air. each of the five felt drawn to a different area. "hello and who might you five be?" a panther centaur man said. the name tag on his blue shirt said Mike. "oh! My name Olivia and these are my friends. we wanted to try out the gym" Olivia said.
the panther man raised an eyebrow. "you do realize this gym caters to men right? we opened a female gym across the city" he said wondering if these ladies should be here. after all, anyone who worked out here would become a manly beast regardless of their original gender. sadly he was not allowed to say that. "yeah we know but this one was closer" Ashley said. for some reason, her eyes turned to the reptile section.
resisting the urge to eye-roll he nodded. 'looks like the scent is already affecting them. oh well, a few more men in the world won't be too bad'. he thought before explaining the gym. "very well. this gym isn't your ordinary gym. we cater to those who want to get in touch with their inner animal" he smiled knowing they would accept whatever form they took.
"We have five different zones to choose from. the mammal zone on the immediate right is for those who want something somewhat familiar. next, we have the fish zone on the left is basically for those interested in water-based exercises. on the far right is the reptile zone, this zone is for those who want to exercise in the heat or humidity. on the far left we have the amphibian zone, which caters to those who want more of the obstacles to overcome. Finally, the bird zone is above us. this is for thrill seekers. however, for those who want thrills without heights, we have the flightless bird option. now which would you prefer?" he explained. After hearing this each of the girls made a decision.
"I need to lose some weight. plus I love obstacle courses" Piper said as she headed to the amphibian zone. "your workout program will be given to you when you arrive," Mike said as he turned to the remaining girls. "I want to work out but I also want something familiar," Mary said as she headed to the mammal zone. Next was Megan who wanted to be a professional swimmer.
"well it's no hard time to decide for me," she said before heading to the fish zone. "I love working out in the heat. so reptile zone for me" Ashley said, she was a bit surprised by herself. However, she figured she could find something to balance her swimming and workout routines here. That left Olivia as she looked upwards. "I... like thrills but not heights," she said to the panther man.
"no problem. As I said we have the flightless bird's option, follow me," Mike said as he used his four legs to move down one of the walkways.

after Alistair cut the ribbon he went to the cafe viewing deck to watch what was about to unfold. As he suspected some females would come hear and some males would go to the one Florence was currently at. this pretty much happened at every location. the only reason for them being so far apart was to dissuade people from visiting both gyms. In the early days the human body would be altered on a genetic level. if someone went to both gyms and worked out then there would be unforeseen consequences.
looking down at the mammal zone he saw a man under some weights. the werewolf next to him was encouraging him. With his own enhanced vision, he saw the man start to grow patches of golden fur as his brown hair began to turn orange. "Guess he will be a lion of some kind" he smiled. there were several factors.
one was food and drink intake. this will increase the speed of the transformation. they were also addictive to certain individuals. this would cause massive changes. the next was air intake.
the smell would make the humans accept their new forms. however extended exposure will cause changes too. time was also a factor. even if a person only worked out here once they will still change. the change will just take longer. Of course, these were always accurate. regardless he and his wife were changing humanity.
