6 Things A Fitness Instructor Wants You To Know Before Dating Her

by Phoebe Parsons

Just like snowflakes, every woman who wanders this whacky world we live in is unique. But contrary to male belief, we're not all harder to crack than "The Da Vinci Code."

A woman's career can actually tell you a lot about her character. Some are corporate and conservative, some are creative and colorful, some are strong-spirited and super sprightly.

With that last one, I'm talking about fitness instructors. Those bright, bubbly gym bunnies whose job is to make burpee tuck jumps look easy and exercise seem fun.

A crazy category all their own, the one thing you can guarantee is life alongside one of these endorphin-chasing fit chicks will never be dull.

Whether she's a cardio queen, a weight-lifting warrior or a seriously zen hen, there are a few defining features you should know about dating one of these enigmatic and ambitious active creatures.

Don't say I didn't warn you:

1. She's always hungry.

Literally, always. As soon as she finishes her oats with peanut butter, there's a 96.5 percent chance she's already thinking about lunch and a 68 percent chance dinner has crossed her mind.

She's not the kind of girl who'll sit in a restaurant and pick at a garden salad. She'll probably also be picking at is your plate, so you might want to order some extra sweet potato fries for the table.

2. She rises with (or before) the sun.

Her 5 am alarm is not optional; it's essential. So when considering date nights, be mindful of the fact she's already been up and at 'em for a good 12 hours now.

If she tries to wrap things up at around 9 pm, it's not because she thinks you're a total snoozefest. It's because it's suddenly become a race against time to ensure she makes it home in time to climb into bed and clock those eight precious hours.

If the early bird catches the worm, then the early bird special catches the fit woman.

3. She'll push you to your limits.

You'd better call Omi because you've definitely found yourself a cheerleader. Don't even try and waste your time making excuses in front of her because she literally gets paid to banish them every day.

Whether it's a career goal, a fitness goal or a financial goal you have your sights set on, she's the perfect person to help get you there and hold you accountable for getting things done.

Furthermore, she'll never cease to simultaneously amaze you and annoy you with her seemingly inexhaustible stash of motivational mantras. Seriously, she'll hurl them at you faster than a Pokéball.

4. She's not judging you.

Despite the seemingly otherworldly qualities she may possess (it's hard to trust someone who can still smile when they're 32 burpees deep), she is human.

She will never judge you for partaking in a series of physically undemanding activities, including a weekend-long Netflix binge and choosing another brownie over a protein ball.

In fact, truth be told, she'll probably ask you for a bite (refer back to point number one) before setting up camp and settling in right alongside you, so you should probably make a couple of batches.

5. She thrives on routine.

Eat, sleep, gym, repeat. Her schedule is tight, but her life and everything in it runs like a well-oiled machine, which is a feat she's damn proud of.

From meal prepping and stretching to grocery shopping and socializing, her weekly activities are prioritized and logged in her journal, so if she's making time to see you, it's because she genuinely wants to and not because she feels like she has to.

So, when you're in a relationship with the fit girl, make sure you're ready for everything because this girl is nonstop.
