Or he might have been testing the equipment. My local gym has a contract with sportswear manufacturer and they give out sports wear to be tested for sweating, level of comfort etc.

Perhaps her profession requires her to do squats in heels - a dancer, of sorts. :P

I'm not sure if they intended to do this, but it's interesting on a way deeper level. The letter that could be both, an "i" or and "a" is displayed by a little stick figure that represents a person. And this person is basically you and it's your choice, if the letter is an "i" or an "a". You wanne be fit...be an "i"...of not...well...stay fatforever. :D

You can use it either way, one works quads, this way works glutes.

It's a reverse hack squat. A lot of glute exercises require sticking your butt out like this. Little known fact on the matter: girls can wear whatever they want and do whatever they want.

Well if her a*s looks like that then she's definitely using the machine correctly.

Let's take this in another direction; Her whole outfit clashes. Two different pastel colours, and hot pink shoes are not the best look.

There are fun runs where people are in full costume. He probably just wants to train in the same outfit.

Wrongly? Ignoring the fact someone's sweaty a*s was on it at one point, it's pretty clever.
