My masseuse tells me that the flagship SportsClubLa was the one we were in. In
She tells me that you can't work someone’s back and hamstrings in a mere half-hour, but that she has to pick up her son, so can't work any longer. I was a walk-in, so I'll take what I can get. She asked when I walked in, if I had "showered off". Off-balanced, I stammered that I hadn't worked out yet. This was met by blank stares from her and the clerk.

If was was writing a sitcom, I sure I could up with some suitable farcical phrasing.
