73: Chapter 73 Black Diamond Membership

Before long, a girl around twenty years old walked over, and her eyes lit up when she saw Chen Fan.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am Zhang Li, the membership consultant here, and I will be responsible for taking you on a tour. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please, this way."

Zhang Li made a "please" gesture and led him toward the fitness area.

After arriving at the fitness area, Zhang Li stood still, turned to face Chen Fan, and naturally pointed her right hand toward the equipment area.

"Mr. Chen, this is our main fitness area. The equipment area is about three hundred square meters, and all of it is Technogym brand imported from Italy."

She took a few steps forward and gently patted the handle of a treadmill.

"In the cardio area, we have a total of twelve treadmills, eight elliptical machines, and six spin bikes. Over in the equipment area, we are equipped with a full set of strength training equipment, a free weight area, a fixed machine area, and a dedicated stretching area."

Following Zhang Li's introduction, Chen Fan looked around at the configuration of the fitness area. It was indeed quite good; it had all kinds of equipment, and the quantity was sufficient, so there was no need to worry about not being able to get the equipment he wanted.

Seeing this, Chen Fan had already decided in his heart to sign up for a card, but he held back. There were other areas, and he would take a look at them before making a final decision.

Next, Zhang Li took Chen Fan to see the remaining areas. Except for the VIP lounge, which they couldn't enter, Chen Fan saw everything else, and the environment and configuration were all very good.

After taking a tour, to be honest, the environment and service met Chen Fan's expectations, and he decided to choose this place.

After taking Chen Fan around, she looked at Chen Fan and said, "Mr. Chen, how do you feel after the tour? Is there any section you are particularly interested in?"

Chen Fan nodded, "Everything is quite good."

Zhang Li's smile did not fade, and she continued, "Then, would you like to go back and consider it today, or—?"

"Why don't you tell me about your fees here first?"

"Very well, Mr. Chen. Please, this way." She turned to lead the way, arriving at a small cubicle. "Please take a seat here, and I will give you a detailed introduction."

Chen Fan followed her into the cubicle. Although it was called a cubicle, it was actually just a semi-private area enclosed by half-height frosted glass, containing a round table and two armchairs. On the table was an iPad.

Chen Fan was a bit surprised. The first-generation iPad hadn't been on the market for long, yet this store was already using such a thing.

"Please, sit." Zhang Li motioned for Chen Fan to sit down, picked up the iPad, tapped it a few times, then turned it around and pushed it in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, our memberships are mainly divided into four types."

"This is the regular annual card, eight thousand eight hundred; it allows for fitness and swimming, while badminton and billiards require separate reservations and payments. This is the Gold membership, fifteen thousand eight hundred; all items can be used, including SPA, but reservations are required in advance. This is the Xiyue Family Card, twenty-eight thousand a year; it allows you to bring your spouse and children under eighteen. Finally, this one—"

Her finger stopped on the bottom line, and her tone slowed down a little.

"Black Diamond annual membership, ninety-nine thousand eight hundred. In addition to unlimited access to the entire facility, it also comes with an exclusive personal trainer, an exclusive lounge, and an independent changing area."

"The last one," Chen Fan said indifferently.

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, then asked with a look of disbelief on her face, "Are you saying you want to sign up for the Black Diamond annual card?"

"Yes, the one that costs over ninety thousand."

Hearing Chen Fan's confirmation again, Zhang Li's face revealed great surprise.

A Black Diamond annual card costing over ninety thousand—this thing only sells a dozen a year. She hadn't expected that she would sell one today!

"Very good, Mr. Chen, very good—" She said "very good" twice, her tone a beat faster than before. "Then I will process it for you now; please wait a moment."

She lowered her head and tapped quickly on the iPad, her fingers much more agile than before. Occasionally she would stop to ask, "Mr. Chen, did you bring your ID card?" "Could you please confirm your mobile phone number?" "We need to take a photo on the spot for the membership system identification; do you mind?"

Chen Fan cooperated with everything.

Ten minutes later, all procedures were completed.

Zhang Li stood up and placed a black velvet box in front of Chen Fan.

The box was not large, about the size of a palm, with a silver logo pressed onto the surface.

She gently opened the lid, and inside lay a black card—it was much thicker than the previous trial card, with a matte texture on the edges, and on the front, there was only a silver logo and a string of raised numbers: 047.

"Mr. Chen, this is your Black Diamond membership card." Zhang Li turned the box toward him, her tone carrying a bit of ceremony. "The card is officially effective today, and you can come anytime. The independent changing area for Black Diamond members is on the fourth floor; just take the elevator here and turn right."

Chen Fan took out the membership card, then pointed to the box and looked at Zhang Li, "Please throw this away for me."

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Just a moment, Mr. Chen~" Zhang Li hurriedly spoke up.

Chen Fan looked at her in confusion.

"You are a Black Diamond member, and you have an exclusive personal trainer. Would you like to select your exclusive personal trainer now?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan returned to his seat.

"Is the personal trainer male or female?"

"We have both male and female coaches. I have an introduction to each coach's specialties and personal abilities here; you can take a look." Zhang Li said, while operating the tablet.

"Recommend one for me. I want a female coach, not the showy kind, but someone very professional who can help me get a good physique, understand?"

Wanting a female coach wasn't because Chen Fan wanted to do anything, but as a personal trainer, she would definitely have to help him stretch and would have to touch his body.

He wasn't gay, and letting a man touch him made him feel a bit disgusted just thinking about it.

Therefore, he had to find a female coach; it didn't matter even if her appearance was average.

"Understood, a female coach, but one who has the ability to help you build a good physique." She said while sliding the screen.

She swiped a few times, turned the tablet around, and faced the screen toward Chen Fan.

"I recommend this one to you—Zhao Wenjie, 31 years old, seven years of experience."

Chen Fan looked at the screen.

The woman in the photo had a low ponytail, sharp features, and her appearance could only be described as pleasant, with a bit of heroic spirit between her brows. She was wearing gray training clothes, standing in the equipment area with her arms crossed over her chest, revealing arm lines that were firm but not bulky.

"She is a graduate of a sports academy. She first coached the youth team in the sports team, and later transferred to commercial fitness. She specializes in muscle gain and strength training and has a very good understanding of the male body structure. She also obtained a senior national professional fitness coach certificate, and in addition, she has certifications as a sports nutritionist and sports rehabilitation therapist."

"Alright, let it be her."

"What a coincidence, Coach Zhao is currently teaching a member on the fourth floor, and it will be finished in about ten minutes. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the lounge for a while. After her class is over, I will let her come down to say hello to you and get to know each other first?"

"That works too."

Zhang Li stood up, made a "please" gesture, and led Chen Fan toward the elevator.

"Then you can go to the lounge on the fourth floor and sit for a while. There is tea and coffee there; please help yourself. When Coach Zhao finishes class, I will bring her to find you."
