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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
