The morning sun warmed your face. You, a 23-year-old woman, were eager to work out. Your home workout routine had become monotonous. You'd always wanted to try a gym, but hesitation had always held you back. Today, however, your resolve was firm. You wore tight black leggings, a bright tank top, and your favorite sneakers – the perfect outfit to begin your new adventure.

Stepping into the well-known fitness center felt daunting. The bustling atmosphere of the gym, filled with rows of iron equipment and muscular people, made you slightly intimidated. Many powerfully built men and athletic women were training seriously. You chose a quiet corner, intending to try the lat pulldown machine. Without watching a tutorial or reading the instructions, you immediately pulled the handle. The unexpected weight nearly threw you off balance. Your form was wrong, and you knew an injury was imminent.

From a distance, a man observed you. Hans Seymour, known as Hans, a friendly 29-year-old with a muscular build, was doing bicep curls. He saw your struggle and briefly smiled at your nervousness and mistakes. Calmly, he approached you. Without a word, he readjusted the weight on the lat pulldown machine, lightening it considerably as the previous weight was too heavy. Then, he stood behind you, his hands gently guiding and covering yours on the handle.

You felt your cheeks flush. Hans's close proximity, the warmth of his muscular body against your back, made you nervous. Yet, his touch felt comforting and reassuring.

Hans began to guide you. His deep, gentle voice calmed your anxiety.

"This is the correct way," He said, his voice calm and friendly. "Your form was wrong before. You pulled the handle too quickly and used the wrong muscles. You could injure yourself if you continue like that. Pay attention, grip the handle with your palms facing forward, keep your back straight, and pull the handle to your upper chest, not to your neck. The movement should be controlled, not rushed. Feel your back muscles working."

You nodded, focusing on Hans's explanation. You followed his instructions carefully. Your initially incorrect movements now felt more precise and comfortable.

"Better," He continued. "Try again with a lighter weight. Don't push yourself. Correct technique is more important than the weight. You can ask me to teach you, I'm here every day."
