Eli came to the gym in hopes of improving his body. To help with this he wore the school provided athletic shirt and pants, he brought his own black tennis shoes and his black headphones and a green digital camo backpack. As Smells Like Teen Spirit' by nirvana played he began thinking of where to start his thirty minute workout, with two or three breaks. He could do swim laps in the pool, but that would wear him down pretty fast. Maybe he could work on his flexibility in the gymnastics hall? Nah he didn't wanna work his body too hard. That left the main gym workout room, he could easily start with some laps and then go on to pull ups, and that's exactly what he did.
As he ran his first of ten laps, he thought about how much cooler the city was, he had been sheltered from it for a long time in an attempt to hide his quirk, a decision made by his parents and uncle. His new classmates in 1-C were pretty cool too. It seemed that none of them were in the main gym though seeing as how he didn't recognize anyone. He finished his tenth lap without breaking much of a sweat and moved on to pull ups. "Aim for 100, get at least half that." He said out loud without realizing. He started his pull ups and, while he struggled, he managed to get to one hundred. "Break time." Eli said as he reached into his bag and grabbed a protein bar and some Gatorade, proceeding to snack on the items. What would he do next? He decided the best course of action would be to do some bench pressing, not using his quirk when He was allowed to was hard, not that it would help in the workouts he was doing. He finished his snack and took one more sip of his Gatorade and then walked over to the bench press, "100 is a good start." Eli said as he put the corresponding weights onto the bar and began to bench press.

The recently-finished UA gym building was divided into four sections. One of them was just a big, empty gymnasium room, used mainly for sparring purposes. Next to it was the interior Olympic pool, with everything you might expect of an olympic pool present.
Of one would follow the corridor to the end, they would find themselves surrounded with two doors. One of them led to a regular gym, with free weights, abdominal machines and the like. This was the door Eli had chosen. From the other one, if he didn’t have his headphones on, he might have heard a dull, repetitive but irregular sound.
This was the sound of Darren mercilessly pounding on the heavy bag. The poor thing looked like it would come apart at the seams with every hit, but it held on tight. The principal had not skimped on quality for the training facilities, considering them the most important aspect of the school and therefore allocating them most of the school budget. That did mean that the actual “school” part of the school looked like a regular-ass, slightly overbudget public school, with tubed chairs and balsa desks.
The martial arts room had opened the most recently, and Darren had been the one spending the most time in it. It was as big as the gym room, but filled with square and octogonal rings, respectively roped and caged, punching bags, speed bags, double bags, wooden weapons racks and everything a student looking to improve his melee abilities could dream of.
But for now, Darren was done with the martial arts room. He had been spending the better part of the afternoon punching bags and browsing memes on his phone when resting, so he decided it was time for a bit of old-fashioned weight training. He strolled out the doors with his towel resting on his shoulders. Instead of the UA uniform, he was wearing a red sports shirt with black shorts and running shoes. He swung his gym bag around with every springy step of his, whistling the theme from Rawhide. It was an old TV show that he had no idea what it was about. He just knew the theme from the Blues Brothers movie.
If it wasn’t clear already, Darren enjoyed the training. For all his shit-talking, irresponsibility, rudeness, superiority complex and loud arrogance that he displayed on daily basis, one couldn’t find fault with his diligence. It applied only to training, however. It wasn't a rare sight at all to find Darren sleeping through math class.
The doors to the training room burst open as Darren marched in, filling the room with the sound of his surprisingly melodious whistling. He immediately spied one of the new kids in his class taking place on the chest press bench. The blondie happily hopped over and, without asking, took place in the spotter’s spot. From Eli’s point of view, who was probably laying on the bench and about to start his exercise, an upside-down blonde face would suddenly pop into his field of vision. The face had a mouth, and the mouth was moving, as it often did.
“Yo! You’re one of em new kids aint ya? Name’s Darren, I will be your spotter today!” The face was also adorned with a huge, beaming smile. “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!” he added in his usual exaggerated manner as he grabbed the bar in the middle with his right hand, right between the new kid’s hands. The point was to allow him to go as hard as he could without worrying about dropping the bar on his throat should the load prove to be too much.
Of course, it was common courtesy to spot for the one who spotted you while you rested, which worked out great for Darren.

Yumi was working on her body a lot lately, trying to make herself as fit as she was aesthetically in a more practical sense. As such the gym was on her list of places to go today. She'd been working on her cardio regularly with a jog everyday, but she needed to actually build some real muscle too if she wanted to handle her suit's gear easily enough when she ran out of charge. She had no idea what she would even do honestly. Relying on her quirk to 'look good' her whole life meant exercise like this had never really come up, so a part of her was definitely hoping there was someone there who could show her how to handle all the equipment and help her push herself.
Still she needed to make sure she was at least dressed for the gym all the same, and not knowing any better on if it was 'still good' for this kind of workout, Yumi had just packed her jogging gear and headed to the girl's locker room, stripping off in the open rather than finding a cubical to change in. Sure most girls did that anyway at school so it hardly mattered, and the room was practically empty, but her eagerness to get into her gym clothes was somewhat notable even to her. Guess the sense of improving herself had been giving her more of a high than she expected!~
Coming out into the main gym with her old clothes left behind, Yumi was wearing a loose fitting midrift tank over a blue sports bra, with some spats and sneakers to go with it. This wasn't her only jogging outfit but when it was a sunnier day it was the one she went with. Her eyes scanned the room as she walked out into the equipment room, biting a hair-tie in her teeth as her hands worked her hair into a ponytail, scanning the room and spotting two familiar faces from her class, sorting her hair out and happily jogging over. "Hey guy-AGH!" Tripping over a loose weight someone hadn't put away properly, Yumi fell down into the padded flooring of the gym, groaning softly, but smirking as she lifted her face enough to see both of them, kicking her legs behind her as she tried to take the fall in her stride. "...heeeey...hows things?~"

As Eli began to reach for the bar to bench press a familiar bright blonde individual came into his field of vision. Of course it was the cocky Darren, though him being helpful was a change for the better. He took out one of his headphones so he could hear Darren as well as Hero Of War by Rise Against. "Uh yeah my names Eli if you didn't already know, I'm the diamond quirk kid. Thanks for the help I appreciate it, I'm assuming you want me to spot you after I'm done?" Eli said expecting it to be a mutual gain thing. Each of them gets something out of it, completely fair. He didn't wait for an answer from him though and just started right away. He aimed for twenty five reps.
His music changed from Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, to Shephard Of Fire by Avenged Sevenfold as he finished his twentieth rep. He decided that he was done with this exercise for now and sat up. "I'm done if you're good to do your reps." As he finished the sentence he heard Yumi trip and fall over a misplaced weight that someone had neglected to put away. Yet she still smiled as if nothing could bring her down. "I'm doing good but more importantly are you okay? That was quiet the fall." He asked the class president, this obviously wasn't something she did a whole lot, but if she was trying it out then good for her. He walked over to the weight and picked it up, putting it back where it belonged and then held out a hand to help Yumi up, "If you wanna work out with me and Darren we'll be sure to push you hard, I'm gonna be his spotter first and then we can all three try something, or one of us can be your spotter. Assuming you want to of course."

Wasn’t this new kid nice and accommodating? Without even having to ask for it, he offered to spot Darren when he was done with his reps. Darren’s left hand made a thumbs up, and his right hand followed along with the bar as the diamond boy started doing his reps. Up, down, up, down, Eli Bantis was pushing diligently against the might of Sir Isaac Newton and his gravity.
It took him enough time that Bohemian Rhapsody ended and Avenged Sevenfold started to play. The boy’s headphones were quite loud. Darren liked the first song better. Surprisingly, metal wasn’t his thing much. He was a fan of classic rock, punk and everything rebellious. Metalheads would look at him incredulously when he said metal wasn’t hard enough for him. Darren had a very personal conception of music, and most things really.
As Eli was finishing his reps, Darren spotted Yumi entering the room. The class president was sexy as ever and gym clothes did her justice. Then again, thought the delinquent, most clothes did her justice. “Hey prez!” shouted Darren, and it seemed to grab her attention because she started running towards them while attempting to tie her hair into a ponytail.
People said that women had an easier time multitasking, but that must have been wrong because Yumi hit a leftover dumbbell and fell down face-first. He snickered and whispered to Eli: “Don’t worry, she got them airbags on,” and he laughed at his own joke.
“You okay, prez?” he said, loud enough now that she could hear him. “After I’m done with this, want a spotter?” Sly as a fox, he was trying to get himself in the position where he would have the best view.
As for now, he added a couple weights to the bar to put the thing at about eighty kilos, and when Eli got in place, he started pushing. He made a show of how easy a time he was pretending to be having, but eighty kilograms was cutting it close to his max weight. He had to make an effort to do the last couple reps of his twenty set as quick as the others.
“See, if you’re training for fighting, you don’t wanna do it slow like they say on the internet,” he said. “We’re not here to get them balloon animal bodies, we train for explosivity," he explained, punching the air violenty, smiling confidently, talking loudly. His forehead had gotten visibly shinier and was reflecting the light from the ceiling, betraying the effort he was trying to hide.

Yumi mouthed a 'thank you' as Eli reached out to help her up, tugging on his arm a little to get herself back up to her feet and dusting herself off. Briefly looking at herself she wondered why she even had gym gear when she realized she didn't even go the gym that often before joining school...then she remembered she just liked the style and mentally shrugged it off, looking up to her classmate as she brushed off her legs. "Thanks, Eli right?" She flashed a look to Darren at his joke, rolling her eyes and walking up beside the bench, folding her arms and watching him get to work.
"I was erm...well yeah I guess I could use one but..." She ruffled the hair on the back of her head as Darren started, chuckling to herself and shaking her head. "I'm not so used to the gym so you boys might have to show me some proper technique and stuff." She turned her eyes to Darren, watching what he was doing first and taking in how to use the equipment first, and the way his biceps lightly bulged second, though the faint tint of red to her cheeks showed when her attention span made the switch, lightly drumming her fingers on her own hip as she mentally counted off his reps.
"Pretty impressive handsome.~" Winking in an almost sweet manner, like it was more a friendly gesture than the flirty one most people used it for, she waited for Darren to get up and slipped onto the bench next to him so they squeezed on together, pecking his cheek rather bluntly, probably getting a light taste of the sweat forming on his skin but not minding at all. "Sadly I don't think I'll be so impressive.~"
Yumi didn't think much of the peck she'd just given since the entire class was getting used to her sense of intimacy both from experience and just being exposed on the class chat, she waited for Darren to get off and in position, and started pushing off some weights like she'd seen him put them on, lowering it down to half of what he'd been hitting and lowering herself down onto the bench, smirking up to Darren above her, and flicking her eyes back to Eli, grunting a little as she took the weight, but managing, with a little struggle, to start doing some reps.
"S-so...you guys come here often?" She asked, not realizing she'd just given out a tropey flirt line and continuing. "Like I said its my first time so...I might need someone to...show me the equipment?" She winced a little, her lack of experience with the muscles her quirk let her burn showing as she struggled to handle even half of what Darren had, but mentally trying to push herself, getting to about 20 as the 3 of them talked before her arms gave out, squeaking loudly as she dropped the bar and hoping Darren could catch it.
