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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
