The employees are respectful folk looking to enforce the basic rules of public decency while either playing on their phones or just generally looking busy. The other people here to work out are a kindhearted, well meaning crowd. Even the deadlifting college “bros” are of the well meaning variety. No-one seeks to mock or criticize others. People either mind their business or they may even offer a helping hand. Elise is viewed as a “big sister” figure by a lot of people. The gym itself carries a very friendly, communal environment that puts a focus on being able to exist without expectations. Other characters should not compete in a romance for Elise’s approval. Rude, arrogant, or disrespectful behavior will be called out by either staff or gym members. The general area that the gym sits in is considered safe. It is well lit and connected to both a park and a frozen yogurt shop. Gym members/staff include: Brayden, Trayden, Okeyden, Hayden, Lionel, Alisha, “Slim Jim Legs” Dale, among others.
