My New Year’s resolution was to start exercising. I never expected to meet the men of my dreams. Yet now that I’m going to Rocky Mountain Fitness every day? I’m getting sweaty with three of the sexiest guys imaginable. Finn, the jacked personal trainer whose shorts cling to his muscular body so tightly it leaves nothing to the imagination. He stretches me out before each workout and then spots me … each workout and then spots me while I lift weights, gently touching my body to arrange me in just the right position.
Max, the tall, gorgeous spin instructor with a quick wit and sarcastic smile. He finds new ways to raise my pulse and make me sweat–and only some of them take place on a spin machine.
Brody, the handsome gym member with crystal-blue eyes and a body covered with lean muscle, flirts with me every time we cross paths. But we’re competing against each other in the gym’s quarterly points contest, and he has discovered a scintillating new way of distracting me…
My three dedicated athletes find unique ways to send me to bed sore each night.
From harmless hot tub flirting, to very personal training sessions, to long sports massages that soothe my aching muscles.
As our feelings grow more serious, how can I possibly choose between these three amazing men?
Or in the end, will they decide for me?
TRAINED AT THE GYM is a sizzling, stand-alone Reverse Harem love story with enough gym-related action to get your heart racing. HEA guaranteed!

Engaging story’s like this deserve a minimum of 6 STARS. Cassie Cole brings her “A” game with this one.
The characters are so well thought out and so real that once I started reading, I could not stop because I had to see how the story evolved. Each character held my attention and embedded their role so deep into my head that it was late in the night before I got to ‘the end’.
A reverse harem book is about a certain configuration of characters whose lives are intertwined in a certain way. At least, that’s what I always thought. Until TRAINED AT THE GYM. This story gave me a slightly different POV on a reverse hareem relationship because the guys were added one at a time and spent time with the MFC before another MC was added. Whole different way to look at life from their pov. I think it made for a stronger connection between the characters. And I enjoyed that.
This is another reverse harem story. This author sure knows how to write these. she can draw you in and hold your attention with surprises and some twist and turns.

A very hot and steamy reverse harem read that doesn’t disappoint. I loved Kay connection with her three men, yes you read it three and boy did she keep up with them. Some drama and a whole lot of sexiness made this a must read.
For the record…
“Going to the gym has never been this much fun”….
This was a really great read. I loved Kat. She was a strong woman as well as smart. Her relationships with Max, Finn and Brody were beyond steamy. I won’t give away any spoilers but one of her men really needed to be smacked up side his head.

Kat was gifted a gym membership by her brother for Christmas because she wanted to get fit again, the gym was just down the street from her vintage record store. When she went into the gym to see what they had to offer, she met her personal trainer Finn. He was stacked in the muscle department besides being gorgeous to look at. She was very attracted to him.
Kat also met a fellow gym member Brody, who was training for a triathlon and was attracted to him as well. She entered into a monthly competition in the gym to see who could get the highest points for gym equipment use. Kat also meets Max who is also training for a triathlon, but he is also a trainer at the gym for swimming and the spin bikes. Both men are more refined in their physiques but still equally attractive and actively flirt with Kat.
Each man starts a physical relationship with Kat while she becomes a daily user at the gym. They are all growing to live Kat, but they have no idea that she is equally invested in each of her men. Then one day, one of them hurts her deeply and she is devastated. The other two rally around Kat and show her their love and support. But he redeems himself and they all agree to share Kat. Max goes on to win his triathlon and qualifies to run in the world Ironman triathlon and comes tenth place, winning the title of Ironman. They all celebrate and plan their lives together for their happily ever after.

I received this ARC from the author thru booksprout, and am voluntarily leaving my review. I have to say that once again Cassie showed me why she is one if my favorite authors! Her stories always keep you reading straight thru. The characters of Kat, Finn, Brody and Max are great and well thought out. Kat received a gym membership that leads her to meet three amazing men. Finn and Max work at the gym, while Brody is a member. The men are as attracted to her as she is to them. Kat dates all three of them and does not ever want to choose. The sex is typical Cassie Cole, hotter that hades at times. This book had laughs, steam, a little drama and a whole lot of family and love. Any family can be created from the heart! I know that you will not be disappointed in this book. And I might suggest checking out the other books Cassie has written. If this is your type of genre(full length quality story, menage, laughs, devotion and love) then you have found your author! I always look forward to each new story

This reverse is different in that Kat was the aggressor in the beginning. Interesting and engaging story with strong characters. Good read!

Fabulous, Riveting, hot, just a couple of words to describe a book that is well worth reading. The storyline, well when i first saw it i wondered what sort of story we had coming, but true to this authors stories she never disapoints us and this one is really no exception. From the start to the finish i was riveted with the story, its just that kind of book.
Katherine has been given a gym pass for her Christmas present from her brother so on the first of January she starts, she has a trainer and his name is Finn, the trouble is she really wants him… dam… and then theres Brody another whom she likes but he is a challenge and theres nothing she likes better than a challenge. Last but not least she meets Max, who helps her with the spin cycle and swimming. But one man betrays her and her future in the worst possible way.
For a great book and overall fabulous reading i have given this book a definate 5plus star
If my local gym membership came with three hot men devoted to me and willing to share, I would sign up right now! What a hot fantasy!
This is a well written story, the author really takes the time to develop all of the characters and I enjoyed the story being told from multiple points of view. The sex scenes are steamy, well paced and varied. The developing relationship between the four characters is the main focus of the story, which I love, and the “dark secret” is not really necessary in my opinion. Besides, the resolution of the conflict is anticlimactic and a little unrealistic.
Otherwise, this is a sexy and fun story that will keep you engaged and entertained through the whole book.
Downloaded from BookSprout. I received this book free from the author for my honest review. Since I rely heavily on reviews to make decisions about purchases, I will never lie or over-exaggerate my opinion. There is nothing worse than seeing a bunch of 5 star reviews and realizing the book is full of errors or just plain bad and not worth my hard earned money!
I know that when i read Ms Cole stories, i’m in for a steamy to scorching hot read with sexy men and a strong heroine. It is not just an erotica read with “Wham bam thank you mam” but there is a story with characters that are going through things in their life and that’s what i love to read from her writting. And this book like all the others i’ve read so far from her did not disappoint. Loved it!!

Makes me want to go to the gym
#spoiler
This story was incredibly hot!!! WOW! I’m a newbie to the reverse harem thing, but gee I like it 😉
The story is set in Denver, and centres around one main street. It was well-described, and I could imagine it being very picturesque, like something out of a movie.
Katherine Delaney owns an independent record store – Vinyl High Records. She lost her parents in a car accident five years ago, and hasn’t really been living life to the fullest.
Her brother Darryl buys her a gym membership at the Rocky Mountain Fitness centre across the road from her store. One of her new year’s resolutions from last year, was to start exercising again. So the present is perfect. Kat just needs to convince herself she’s ready for that.
The gym is where she meets three very fit and very hot guys – Finn, Brody and Max. She’s instantly attracted to all three of them, and they’re also very attracted to her. How is she going to decide who she’ll pursue, or allow to pursue her?
There’s a LOT of sizzling chemistry and steam as they navigate their relationships. Makes me think… sharing is caring!?
The book was hard to put down, and I couldn’t keep up with their libidos! One I would definitely recommend, especially if you have a shower nearby to cool down! Can’t wait for more Cassie!

If my personal trainers and instructors turned out to be like Finn, Max, and Brody, I would never leave the gym. I loved Kat and how she overcomes her childhood trauma even if she left other things undone. But she changes that by starting to exercise again and in the process find what she thought she wouldn’t find, love. All three men bring different things to the table and are exactly what Kat needed. There’s steamy scenes, some drama and mystery, and family. The family you’re born with and the one you create. It was great!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Getting a one year-membership for the local gym for christmas by her brother, Kat doesn’t know what to do with it as she runs her own business and time is the one thing she usually doesn’t have. Fortunately, her competitive side awakes, when she stumbles into the building and spots Finn and Max and then there’s Brody as well… A very nice story about trust, hard work and some fun as well. The menage-part isn’t in the forefront but rather working for your goals. Great story.
So this was a free ARC copy from one of my favorite erotica authors, plus booksprout for my voluntary honest review of this read and I soooo enjoyed it! Once I started reading I just couldn’t stop til I finished the whole read because I thought it was that great of a read! It had a great storyline and great characters to read about to, plus it was freaking hooot.Mmm One lucky woman and three hunky hooot guys to steam up the sheets with.Kats brother get her a gym membership at RMF and she meets Finn /Max who work there and Brody who’s a member and she falls for all three.Brody brakes her heart by working for the company down the street and almost putting her out of business, but he saves her business at the end.So going from a great threeway relationship to a great fourway relationship makes everyone so much happier.
Enjoy Everyone It’s So Worth It!

This is a intriguing and steamy romance filled with thrilling moments and enjoyable characters.
Being four main characters, the three male characters doesn’t get enough time in my opinion.

This story begins with Katherine at her store, her record store, with her brother Darryl and his sons. Her nephews are looking for records while Darryl tells her about his Christmas gift to her. Basically, he’s giving her a premium membership at a nearby gym for a year. Working out is something Katherine always says she wants to do but doesn’t have time for – you know, like most of us. Basically his gift doesn’t give her much chance to back out. Katherine owns a record store in Denver, it actually sells vinyl records not CD’s or anything else sold in music stores these days. She has one employee, Paul, who is a total stoner dude. She does actually go to the gym to check it out and meets Finn, a big muscle guy and also her personal trainer. Eventually she meets another trainer, Max, who trains her in cycling and swimming. On top of both of them she meets Brody, another member of the gym, who is training for a triathlon in April.
All right, so this gym has screens in all the rooms with members and their points. Basically everything they do like cardio, weights, swimming, running, boxing, etc. counts for points. They have awards at the end of each month for the member with the most. Katherine, or Kat to her friends, is right behind Brody in points most of the time but they are definitely competing. Besides her time at the store and at the gym, Kat finds out that there’s a new store opening up near hers…and it’s another record store! It’s one of those big, corporation type stores that always end up forcing small stores to close. Due to her stress about losing her store, she’s spending tons of time at the gym trying to work off her stress. She also spends quite a lot of time dating both Finn and Max. Oh, and a few dates here and there with Brody too.
So the blurb for this story says something to the effect of “one of them had a dark secret and that the truth was shocking”. I don’t know what I was expecting the secret to be. Was he a serial killer? A serial rapist? A child molester? Then I decided that I watch way too much news and focused more on the story Ms. Cole wrote. I read the version Booksprout sent me and then I borrowed the published version via Kindle Unlimited. The final version was much better than the not quite completed version I first read. It was worth the read! I am very happy that Ms. Cole didn’t channel my twisted thoughts for the ‘dark secret’ and I had fun reading this book! My favorite story from Ms. Cole so far is The Proposition which was released in 2019, but this book is a close second!
