A Small Boost in Confidence (Anthro TG TF)

Dana nervously approached the front door of the gym, unsure whether or not she should go in. She didn't really like interacting with people often, however, she really wanted to get some exercise and what better place than a gym, which was devoted to almost exclusively exercise. She entered the building and had a somewhat lengthy conversation with the woman behind the counter, sorting out membership fees and such. She excused herself politely after the interaction and entered the main training room. Inside were several people working out on various machines. Dana quietly made her way away from most of the people and towards the one machine she recognized and knew how to operate, a treadmill. As she approached it slowly, two muscular men inserted themselves in her path. "Hey." One of them said. Dana stopped dead in her tracks, "Oh.... um..... hi."
"You here for the gun show?" The other one said, flexing a bit and smiling.
"I....um.... no.... I just want to exercise...." Dana stammered.
"You sure, baby?" The first one also flexed his muscles, almost trying to draw Dana away from his friend. Dana went pale. "Why did I come here....." she thought to herself. She quickly turned and left without saying a word. The men called something after her, but she didn't hear them and kept walking. She was feeling a bit sick and she quickly walked right through the lobby and right back out the front door. She slowly caught her breath and tried to pull herself together. "I'm never going to use that membership I just got...." she thought glumly to herself. Just as she was about to walk away from the gym, she felt an uncomfortable feeling between her legs as something commonly found on men grew there. He gasped in shock, and watched as his pants shrank upwards into a nice fitting pair of athletic shorts. From the shorts began to grow large tufts of fur, and soon, his legs were coated in it. They became a bit thicker and his shoes tore to shreds, two massive paws were revealed. He stood there in shock, staring at his new legs. Suddenly, a long thick tail grew from the end of his spine as he let out a small grunt. There seemed to be a hole in his shorts designed specifically for the distinct purpose of the tail. He grabbed it in his hands and examined it. The fur on it was thick and striped, and as he looked at it, the changes began to spread upwards. His stomach shifted and his breasts effectively flattened out. His whole body grew larger, stretching his shirt to the tearing point, but then, his bra fused into his shirt and it grew into a comfortable, more breathable shirt. He sighed in relief as fur slowly built up along the entire length of his arms, dark stripes complimenting the orangeish yellow fur. Lastly, his face pressed outwards into a nice snout, and his shoulders became more boxy. His ears slowly became bigger and more fuzzy. He noticed that the changes seemed to be over and he suddenly said, "wh... why did this happen to me....." Just then, his nervous mind and personality were gently changed into confidence and nerves of steel. He grinned to himself. "Actually, this isn't so bad..." he looked back over at the gym. "And, since I've got this membership, it'd probably be best if I used it to keep myself in shape..." He pushed open the door and he showed the woman in the lobby his membership card, which had mysteriously changed to say "Daniel" instead of "Dana". She seemed a bit taken aback that he was a tiger man, but Daniel walked right past her into the gym. The workout equipment that had previously felt foreign now seemed quite familiar, the knowledge had simply been planted in his mind during his change. He was about to approach one of the machines, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see the two men from earlier. "Hey weirdo, what are you up to?"
Daniel felt a small growl building in his throat. "I'm here for exercise, what else?"
One of them pushed him a bit, "Well, you better not be looking to pick up chicks.... cause we don't want any competition." Daniel thought about it for a moment then laughed. He hadn't even thought about it, of course, he had just been a girl, so he didn't really have any interest in women at the present moment. "So, what is it you furball? Are you trying to woo our women?" Daniel felt a strange feeling and his legs became a bit more muscular. "No, I'm not trying to 'pick up chicks' or 'woo your women'." Daniel said, in a bit of a mocking tone. Just then, his stomach grew a decently noticeable 6 pack. "Do you wanna fight, bro?" One of them said. Just then, his arms grew extremely muscular, and they took a step back. "What the...." one of them managed.
"Um... he's not worth our time... he... said he wasn't interested in women, man, let's just go..." they turned to walk away. "Sort for bothering you, sir...." the other said. Daniel smiled a little bit. "I hope they don't bother me anymore....." he thought to himself.  He proceeded to the nearest machine, and finally began his workout.
