20 Things You Could Expect If Dwight Schrute Was Your Personal Trainer

20 Things You Could Expect If Dwight Schrute Was Your Personal Trainer

Welcome to The Dwight Schrute Gym for Muscles. Membership costs $49.99 a month and $59.99 on the third month. The first 20 members to sign up can take advantage of the pay what you weigh promotion.

Dwight Schrute once opened up a gym in The Office called The Dwight Schrute Gym for Muscles. The assistant to the assistant regional manager, Scranton beet farmer, and volunteer sheriff's deputy must be a good personal trainer to claim to be "faster than 80% of all snakes" right?

Well, let's find out. Here is what you could expect if Dwight Schrute was your personal trainer.

1. Karate

Karate is a great skill to have, especially for defending yourself against bears in Scranton.

2. Intimidation

“Finish your set on your own, then never come back to my gym again.”
-Dwight

3. Parkour

Getting from point A to point B in the most creative way possible.

4. Spin Class

“The hill is a trap take the dirt road off to the side. Go for the cliff in 3, 2, 1… JUMP!!!.”

Dwight just might be one of the most intense spin classes instructors for someone who wasn’t even the actual instructor of the class.

5. Stretching the "pelvic bowl"

We're gonna warm up by stretching the "pelvic bowl". Its so "cutting edge" you haven't even heard of it before.

6. Aerobic Dance Class

Dwight may not be the best dancer in the office but he is more qualified to teach an aerobic dance class then Andy, who tore his scrotum while dancing.

7. Reverse Squats

Works your arms and your legs at the same time!

8. Benching Your Boss

Teamwork makes the dream work!

9. Ab Strengthening Exercises

“My gym, my rules. You do exactly what I say no questions asked.”

-Dwight

10. (But not planks)

11. More Parkour

12. Carbo loading before the race

Fettuccine alfredo before a 5K with no water... no pain no gain I guess.

13. Beets (of course!)

14. Extreme dieting tactics

“This is your last meal there will be no leftovers.”

*sprays the food with raid*

15. The best full body workout out there...

16. Walking... back from a bad part of town

Dwight once dropped Phyllis off at an abandoned warehouse 5 miles out of town and made her walk back with no money and no phone.

17. Whatever this is...

Neck strengthening? Bicep curl? Who knows, but its probably promoting injury and maybe even a decrease in strength.

18. Attempting to seduce your girlfriend at the gym

"I don't quit until something tears or pops."

-Dwight

19. The Gravel Bucket Squat

The Dwight Schrute Gym for Muscles comes with exercise equipment straight out of a scene from Saw V. If you've ever tried cutting 5 yards of tin, your forearms will be on fire.

20. The Phonebook Ripping Station

Dwight may have invented one of the toughest strength tests out there and we finally have a use for phone books again.

Overall, Dwight may not be the best personal trainer out there, and The Dwight Schrute Gym for Muscles may not be as effective as he thought it would be. His workouts promote injury and prevent you from ever wanting to workout again. He doesn't have the greatest advice on nutrition considering he made Michael Scott throw up fettuccine alfredo after a 5K and hammered rotten fruit into the vending machine.

Dwight might be a good paper salesman, but he would not make the greatest personal trainer. Unfortunately, there are a lot of trainers out there that promote similar things to the Dwight Schrute workout. Remember to get your health and fitness advice from someone who is knowledgeable in the field and provides a safe and effective practice. Beet farmers do not make good personal trainers.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
