Interview essay final draft

INTERVIEW Essay FINAL DRAFT

I chose to interview some people in my gym center for the reason why they love to go to gym and have some of their story about using the gym frequently. My first interview was with one of my gym friends, a guy I met out there four weeks ago. Every time I went to the gym I’ve seen this guy work out very harder than I do. You should’ve seen him very anxious on what he does; that was the reason why I wanted to interview him.  It was two Am when I approach Samir and started asking him about how he did get up to that point. First he was little shied and didn’t want to talk to me. But finally he agreed to answer my questions with questions. I’ve decided to continued with him like that, because if I interrupt him by telling him do not answer questions with questions I think I will not get what I wanted; so I’ve chose do not. Right after ten second, he opened his rubrics:

-You wanted to know the reason why everyone comes to the gym right? Ok, let me ask you: Do you actually wanted to know just about me or in general? He continued asking. We can just talk about you if it doesn’t bother you that way. I’ve replied.

-Ok that’s fine, go ahead; first of all, you need to hurry up because I have lots to do and I also have place to go.

-Don’t worry, I will be quick, it’s only some few questions.

-By the way, do you want us to be seated out here or you wanted to seat in the conference room?

-anywhere you want, girl, I’m in the gym so don’t worry, I’m fine in here.

-Ok, thanks Samir

-Anytime.

To be honest with you, I’ve prepared ten questions for him.

 I’m sorry, if I may ask, how old are you, Samir?

-Twenty three years old.

-I think I am old than you?

We both look at each other and started laughing.

He was looking at me seriously and waiting for my next question.

I said Samir why did you choose to work out at this time of the day?

He replied: “I go to school in the morning, and go work after school; I don’t have time; that is the reason why you’ve been seeing me this late, working out so hard.                                                    -I live pretty much the same life like you, man. I go to school in the morning and get off at one Pm. I work from three pm to eleven pm; when I get off work, and found my way home, I get some thing to eat first, get my home work done and come to the gym at two am.

My next question was little bit personal. The reason why I say that, it’s just that out there, he stunned me and started asking me this:

-hey girl, do you need ride home?

I don’t think so, why do you ask? I’ve replied.

-I have ever seen you bring car to the gym; or do you live around here?

-All of these questions lead me to the next question for you, my friend.

-And what it is?

Do you come to the gym to look for girls or looking at them?

 He looks at me and laughs very loud and said:

“-no my friend.”

I asked him so why do you want to give me ride home?

He said: ‘just wanted to give you a lift sometimes in case you need it.

-So what is your real purpose of working out everyday like that?

-“First, I don’t want to die very young I need to keep my body in good shape and my health in normal condition”. He’d continuous to say, he wanted to burn some calories too.

Since I knew the reason why he is coming to the gym, I ask him what the result is.

He said: “I have a very impressive result. I am in good shape and run after my 4 years little girl, I am in good shape. Now, I can run a marathon in Olympic and win the gold medal”. We both laugh. I’ve continued and ask him what the hard part of working out is?

He said: “it’s making me very tired and don’t have time to see my little girl when I get home she is already in bed, my wife get mad sometimes”. I asked him how much that it cost you. 

“In the one negative part it’s like 20 dollars a month but since I am in good shape and in a good condition the money doesn’t matter”. I look at him and said:

“Thanks Samir” see you tomorrow? He said:  “be on time”.

      My next interview was with the gym trainer; he’s very good looking guy; very handsome. He has an easy and very good smile. To me, he’s a good guy. Every time I got to the gym, he helps a lot through out every day.

I asked him how he likes working over here.

He said: “I like working in here and I’m happy helping people to work out and make sure they get what they want”.

I asked him what and how long it takes to be a gym trainer.

“About four years. I’ve first work out myself, am in good shape, known quite a lot of techniques and take some training classes”. I asked him how it felt about going to the gym every time.

“Like said before, it makes me feel happy and I stay in good condition”, in addition, it does pays my bills and put the foods on my table.

As soon as he said that, we both laugh together.

Although, I did not finish my ten questions interview with Samir and also with the gym attendant, I felt so happy, encouraged, off yoked and bold that I can go for it and achieve it in my life too. Even if I don’t have anyone to train me, I can also do this by myself just like Samir and this gym attendant. And this is my devotion: I will be more active in my own everyday life. I mean I won’t wait to get at the gym before working out. To be happy, healthy. If they can do it so I that was my determination!
