Reporter: Hi, Jack! Thanks so much for your time. I know you are a busy person. Can you introduce yourself and say what you do?

Jack: Hi! My name’s Jack Strong and I’m a personal trainer. I have worked at the gym for five years now.

Reporter: What exactly do you do?

Jack: Well, I help people to become fit. When they come to the gym, they don’t often know how to start. Some of them feel lost. I answer all the questions they have about the equipment and how to use it.

Reporter: So, tell us what they can find here.

Jack: Basically, everything they need. They can use: a treadmill, an elliptical trainer, a  barbell, a dumbbell, a kettlebell, a rowing machine, a trampoline, and more. As you can see, a big choice.

Reporter: Sure! But I haven’t used any of them yet and all these names are new to me. I only use a skipping rope from time to time and throw a medicine ball in PE class. Can you tell our listeners what the equipment is used for?

Jack: Generally speaking, it’s used to make you feel strong, fit, and healthy. Of course, what you choose depends on your goals. For example, if you want to be strong, try some weightlifting with barbells, dumbbells, or kettlebells. Also, work out on a rowing machine, which helps a lot to build up your muscles. If you want to become fast, practise with a skipping rope and a  trampoline. It could be fun! For a general workout, I think it is best to choose an elliptical trainer or a treadmill.

Reporter: Why?

Jack: When you use them, you can choose your pace. If you feel well, you can speed up. Tired? Speed down. It’s up to you.

Reporter: And the last question: do many people come to the gym for a morning workout?

Jack: Of course! When you exercise in the morning, you are full of energy all day!

Reporter: Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!

Jack: Thank you. Same to you.
