J Loop

It is the perception and representation of the mode of succession of events,

in which they occur before, after, or during other events.

A series of inevitable events that occur according to a timeline

and lead to an inevitable final consequence.

My name is Jonathan, J to my friends.

I'm 40 years old and

I have a master's degree in Sport Science..

Until recently, I was a proud owner

of my beautiful boxing gym.

“ J Box ”.

Unfortunately, things didn't exactly go to plan,

and I had to close it down.

Did you suffer a lot from this professional loss?

I've experienced worse losses.

Anyway,

after closing the gym, I started working as a home personal trainer.

I mostly receive clients

at my own home gym

but occasionally,

like today,

I go to the client.

I also get paid very well.

Well, you must meet the needs

and expectations of your clients very well.

It's a shame, though, that I have

no real professional satisfaction.

No one wants to train seriously anymore.

Most of the time, this is what

happens:

Enough, coach.

Stop, stop. I'm tired.

How can you be tired?

No, I'm tired, enough.

But you're not even sweating.

What do you mean I'm not sweating?

Look here.

Damn it, look at this.

No, let's stop.

Selfie time?

Let's take a nice selfie? Yeah?

Come here, my girlfriends are crazy about you.

Hey.

Hey, look, I'll even add the hashtag

#FightTime.

Ah, posted!

This one's gonna do great.

Don't worry, come on… I won't tag you.

You're the only person in the world

who never shares photos, come on,

especially with me.

Do you know how much attention you would get

if you used Instagram better…

Facebook,

and even a little TikTok, huh?

I do just fine with women as it is.

Ooh, you do just fine.

Look here,

I just got two messages from two hotties.

Read this:

"If that's your coach,

I want to train with him too,

but in the bedroom".

Fantastic!

And she even added a horse emoji!

She used a horse emoji.

And the other one says,

"If he trained me,

my hashtag wouldn't be #FightTime,

it would be #fuck time".

This one even knows English.

You're great, you're great!

You're a damn stud!

You know what I think it is?

It's your sad demeanor…

This thing that you're melancholy,

but with muscles.

I can't think of any woman

who wouldn't want

to welcome you inside her.

Got it?

I agree.

With what?

With your client.

Uh, yes,

and sometimes, this:

Alright, we can start. It's all already set up for you.

So, today we'll begin with 15 regular squats,

simple ones, but go into a full squat

using the dumbbell as a counterweight.

Then you come over here.

I've already set up the mat for you.

You'll do 30 crunches.

Make sure you do them properly

just as I taught you.

Then we'll go on to stimulate the biceps a bit.

You'll then go to the red elastic band

and do 30 curls per arm.

The circuit is straightforward,

we'll use it as activation.

Okay?

Does this count as activation?

Actually, your father pays me

quite generously

to train you.

So, I don't think it's appropriate to…

Disrespect him.

How old did you say you are?

22.

Legally an adult.

Definitely an adult.

Where have the performance goals gone?

The training programs that are taken seriously,

the training periodization… where has it all gone?

When did I fall so low as to compromise like this?

So, I wonder,

is this what I've become?

Have I turned into a pushover?

You're right, J.

Jonathan.

J is for friends, as I had mentioned.

Exactly,

J.

Such silly things you say…

It rhymes, too.

Ok. You pay me to train you,

so let's train.

Enough with the talk,

let's start pumping.

Come on then, let's get started.

I'm a pushover.

Some more.

Who's this?

Hello?

Hello, am I speaking to Jonathan Scalia?

Yes, sir.

Who am I speaking to?

My name is Nicolas Caneda,

I am calling as I would like to inquire if it is possible to train with you.

I saw on your website

that you are a home personal trainer

and I would like to learn how to box.

I am looking for a personal training,

tailored specifically to my abilities,

I need a professional.

You see, I am not very skilled when it comes to sports,

which is why I require

precise guidance.

How old are you?

You speak like an eloquent old man,

but your voice sounds like a baby.

I'm 14, sir.

Hmm, it can be done.

I must remind you, though, that my fee is not cheap.

Can your parents afford it?

Is the price I read on the website, correct?

Yes.

Then there are no obstacles to our transaction.

Fortunately, money is not an issue in my family,

we are doing very well,

thank God.

Good.

Print out the liability waiver for minors from the website,

have your parents sign it

and bring it to our first lesson.

Oh,

remind your mom and dad

that I want to be paid on the same day of the training.

Certainly. Perfectly understandable.

A self-employed worker needs to capitalize as soon as possible.

What the...

Right…ok.

I'll send you my address via text.

Thank you very much, coach.

Can I call you coach?

No! No.

First, you pay me,

then you can do that.

You can't just call a girl you like, "girlfriend",

just because you want her

to be that for you.

You have to earn it first.

Fair enough.

The analogy is very fitting.

I apologize for my impertinence.

Not a problem Baby Shark.

See you soon.

Hello.

Listen,

I couldn't care less about your God, whether it's Zeus, Odin,

or whoever.

So, please, go somewhere else.

No… sir, there must be a misunderstanding.

I'm Nicolas.

"Sir"?

Do I look that old to you?

I'm not even 41.

I apologize, sir. It's a habit.

Pardon me,

I'm Nicolas, Nicolas Caneda.

We have an appointment for a boxing lesson.
