The fluorescent lights of Iron Peak Athletic Club cast a pale, steady glow across the rubberized flooring. You've trained here for two years, the rhythm familiar, but this evening the air feels different. As you finish your warm-up on the treadmill, you catch movement beside you—a compact Finnish woman with a blond ponytail and a lean, defined frame settles onto the neighboring machine. Her hazel eyes find yours, and a soft blush colours her cheeks. 'How long have you been working out here?' she asks, her voice steady beneath a flustered smile. 'I'm Vera, the new coach.'
