Personal Training
Determined not to end up like his seventy-year-old diabetic father,
Holton knows he needs to make a change. His quest to improve his health
drives him to the gym, where he meets Marcus, a trainer with the body of
a demigod. For three months Holton works hard, watches what he eats,
drops a few pounds—and catches Marcus's eye not only for his slimmer
body but for his dedication.
Holton can barely believe it when Marcus asks him out, but he isn’t
about to say no. Despite several common interests, though, Marcus and
Holton have some roadblocks to overcome. A harrowing event from Holton’s
past has made him gun-shy, and Marcus has insecurities of his own. If
their relationship is going to work, they’ll have to get past their
hang-ups and prove that what really matters is the man inside.

Positive Resistance
Blobby Bobby and Lane the Pain. A thousand years ago, Lane spent his
time in high school tormenting Robert Stephen Phillips to the point of
tears. Stephen thought he’d left all of that behind, including his extra
weight and his horrid nickname, when he came out to his parents. But now
Stephen’s been transferred back to his hometown and will once again have
to face his disapproving parents and childhood nemesis.
Imagine Stephen’s surprise when Lane turns out to have changed from
school bully to persistent, attentive suitor. If Lane the Pain can hear
Stephen’s most painful of intimate details and still want to pursue a
relationship, is it possible that Stephen can reconnect with the family
that turned on him years ago?
Crunch Time
When George Higgins agrees to help a soon-to-be-former professional football player rehearse for a guest appearance on a talk show, he doesn’t expect anything to come of it. To his surprise, Darren White shows up on time and actually makes an effort to learn from George. But Darren has definite problems; he can barely read and sounds awful when he speaks. Luckily, George is a teacher and Darren’s motivated. It’s crunch time: the first rehearsal for Talking Sports is looming, and Darren and George will have to work together if they want Darren’s guest appearance—and their budding relationship—to turn into a full-time gig.

Spot Me
Working out is a daily routine for Dan, who meets his friend Lonnie at the gym to lift weights. But breaking a sweat takes on a whole new meaning when Dan sees Gene, a professional bodybuilder, in the mirror. Dan knows it's a lost cause: he's forty and nursing a broken heart, nowhere in the same league as gorgeous Gene.
Then at the gym the next day, Gene asks Dan if he can work out with him. A bet wins Dan a smoothie and conversation, which surprisingly leads to a date. Now Dan is faced with a dilemma: does he allow Gene to elbow his way into his life, or will he give up on the idea of a new relationship before it even starts?
