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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
