Tom’s Funny Gym Adventure: A Fun Story for A2 English Learners
Chapter 1: The Gym Adventure
Tom had never been to the gym before. He wasn’t very strong, but his friend Sara told him, “Tom, you need some muscles!” So, one sunny Monday morning, Tom decided to visit the local gym.
As he entered, everything looked big and shiny. The dumbbells were heavy, the treadmills were fast, and the people were very serious. Tom tried to act cool, but he accidentally walked into the wrong room. Instead of the gym, he was in a yoga class! Everyone was stretching and bending, but Tom didn’t know what to do. He tried to copy the people in the class, but his arms and legs went the wrong way. Everyone started laughing kindly, and Tom turned bright red.
A lady from the front desk saw him and came over. “Don’t worry, Tom,” she smiled, “I think you are looking for the gym, not the yoga class.” Tom laughed and said, “Yes, I think I’m better at lifting weights than bending like a pretzel!” She pointed him to the correct room, and Tom hurried away, still red in the face.
Chapter 2: The Weightlifting Disaster
Now in the right room, Tom looked around at all the equipment. There were huge weights everywhere. People were lifting dumbbells and barbells like they were lifting feathers! Tom thought to himself, If they can do it, so can I.
He walked over to the dumbbells and picked up the smallest ones he could find. They were still heavy! He lifted them once, twice, and on the third lift, something strange happened. His arms started shaking, and before he knew it, one dumbbell slipped from his hand. It fell to the ground with a loud BANG! Everyone in the gym turned to look at him.
Tom quickly bent down to pick it up, but as he did, his water bottle fell from his pocket and started rolling away. He chased the bottle, but it kept rolling, bouncing off other gym equipment. People were trying to run on the treadmill, lift weights, and do squats, but Tom’s runaway bottle was causing chaos!
Finally, a gym trainer caught the bottle and handed it back to Tom, laughing. “Maybe start with the treadmill, Tom. It’s safer,” she said, still smiling.
Embarrassed but determined, Tom nodded. “I think I’ll try that next,” he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Chapter 3: The Treadmill Trouble:
Tom, still a bit shaken from his dumbbell disaster, decided to follow the trainer’s advice and try the treadmill. How hard could it be? he thought. He had seen people walking and running on treadmills before—it looked simple enough.
He stepped onto the treadmill and pressed a button. The machine started slowly, and Tom felt proud of himself. “This is easy!” he thought as he walked confidently. But soon, he got bored and wanted to go faster. He pressed the speed button a few more times.
Suddenly, the treadmill sped up, and Tom’s legs were moving faster than his brain! He tried to keep up, but his feet couldn’t move fast enough. He started running like a cartoon character, his arms flailing wildly. Before he knew it, he lost control and—whoosh—he flew right off the treadmill and landed in a pile of yoga mats!
The entire gym went silent for a second. Then, someone started clapping, and soon everyone was cheering for him. Tom stood up, dusted himself off, and laughed. “I guess the treadmill isn’t for me either!”
The gym trainer walked over, still laughing, and said, “Maybe try the yoga class again. At least you’ll stay on the floor!”
Tom smiled and agreed. “Good idea. I think I’ve had enough adventure for one day!”
And so, Tom survived his first day at the gym—barely. But he promised himself he’d be back… just not near the dumbbells or the treadmill.
The End.
Tom’s Gym Adventure Song
[Verse 1]
Tom woke up one sunny day,
“I’ll hit the gym, it’s time to play!”
But when he got there, oh what a mess,
He joined a yoga class, in his gym sweats!
[Chorus]
Oh, Tom’s gym adventure, what a sight to see,
Trying to lift weights, but it wasn’t meant to be!
Running on the treadmill, legs flying in the air,
Tom’s gym adventure, full of sweat and care!
[Verse 2]
Next he grabbed some dumbbells, thought he was strong,
But they slipped from his hands, it all went wrong!
Water bottles rolling, chaos all around,
Tom’s funny gym day, falling to the ground!
[Chorus]
Oh, Tom’s gym adventure, what a sight to see,
Trying to lift weights, but it wasn’t meant to be!
Running on the treadmill, legs flying in the air,
Tom’s gym adventure, full of sweat and care!
[Bridge]
But he won’t give up, oh no, not Tom!
He’ll be back again, strong and calm.
With yoga or weights, he’ll give it a try,
Tom’s gym adventure will never say goodbye!
[Chorus]
Oh, Tom’s gym adventure, what a sight to see,
Trying to lift weights, but it wasn’t meant to be!
Running on the treadmill, legs flying in the air,
Tom’s gym adventure, full of sweat and care!
[Outro]
So if you see Tom at the gym one day,
Give him a smile and cheer, “You’re on your way!”
Tom’s gym adventure, it’s just begun,
He’ll keep on trying, having so much fun!
