Rate this book
Working out has never been so hardcore…

Dominic Weston, Dom for short, has a crazy-ass idea: a gym run entirely by BDSM dominants. Whether members crave praise or humiliation, his trainers provide all the motivation needed for the perfect workout. Every flavor of sub is welcome at Dom Fitness, but bratty little girls are Daddy Dom’s specialty.

Amelia Tate has never so much as breathed near an exercise bike, and yet her editor wants her to write a feature on Dom Fitness. The only problem? They won’t let her inside to interview the trainers unless she becomes a member herself. Fine! She’ll join. And then she’ll tell the world just how dumb Dom Fitness is.

To Amelia’s shock, being dominated by Dom isn’t horrible. In fact, it feels amazing, and she starts to crave him both inside the gym and out, even though that’s definitely against club rules. Pfft, rules? It’s not just Amelia that’s about to get bendy. Daddy Dom doesn’t call her his naughty brat for nothing.

Author's Note: Dom Fitness is a novella of 17,000 words and was previously published in the Dirty Daddies Anthology.

4 Brat with a Praise Kink Stars ⭐

"Good girl. All right, you’re going to feel the burn, but that’s a good thing. We like it hot, here."

Well damn it sounds like we all need a membership at Dom Fitness. A gym like no other that combines 'BDSM with fitness'. Could you imagine a personal trainer that suits your sexual preferences?

When Amelia was assigned the job to write a piece around this latest craze, she didn't imagine that she would actually have to work out. Especially with a PT that insists she calls him daddy.

"I want to laugh. I didn’t decide she’d call me daddy. Her inner bratty little girl decided that for us."

Dominic Weston has been paired with a non believer and a sassy one at that. But this girl that reminds him of peaches will quickly realise that a firm hand is in order and that he's perfect for the role.

"She’ll grow to like obeying me. She’ll grow to love it."

I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of this author. She has a knack of writing daddy kink elegantly without ever making it feel skeevy. This story was no different, even though I didn't love the whole gym scenario. BUT from a fantasy perspective, Brianna Hale wrote it fabulously!

"He grasps my thigh and goes back to stretching me, only this time the thick rod of his erection is pressed tightly against my clit. He rubs back and forth with each press against my hamstring muscle."

Amelia Tate had a new assignment: to write an article of Dom Fitness, a revolutionary gym that combined fitness and BDSM. She never thought Dom the gym owner was going to make her sweat in more than one way.

This one was such a cute and sweet read. I liked the idea of Masters and Mistresses as a trainer. They’d definitely be effective lol!

“Why does it feel so good when you talk like that?” I ask, my eyes closing. “It’s weird and icky, but it also makes me want—makes me want—”
“What does it make you want, babygirl?”
“Makes me want to come,” I confess in a whisper.


Amelia was an untapped brat and I liked how Dom brought it out of her. I liked how they went pretty much straight to sex instead of prolonged teases. For something short, the story was entertaining and quite hot.

Note: Dom Fitness was originally from Dirty Daddies Anniversary Anthology.

Amelia Tate is a junior journalist assigned to write an article on Dom Fitness - a gym run by BDSM dominants. She thought she could simply talk to the gym members and write about it but instead she meets Dom and discovers something more on the way.

Dom is the owner of Dom Fitness. When Dom meets Amelia, he knows she falls to the exact category he enjoys - dominating the brat.

Dom Fitness is a quick steamy, daddy kink romance. A fiesty journalist sassying on every step and a Daddy Dom ready to be strict and discipline his brat. It's an awe-inspiring story with hot work out sessions.

Amelia Tate is assigned to write an article on Dom Fitness, the new gym in town that promises a unique approach to motivation. Upon meeting the owner/personal trainer, Dom, Amelia discovers they are paired for a reason, as he knows how to reward her good behavior and punish the bratty side. Quickly, their chemistry ignites which leads to some sweaty workouts.

“Yeah, I’m going to be sore tomorrow, in places I wasn’t expecting it, either. But that was hella worth it.”

In the beginning, I was laughing at Amelia’s impudence and how Dom quickly brought her down to earth. With each having their own insecurities about their career choices, I like how they come together in a supportive way to encourage their strengths. The idea of such a gym existing certainly has intriguing aspects too.

Dom Fitness is a steamy and sweet romance. It would appeal to those looking for a quickie Daddy fix.

I'm a sucker for DD/lg books, and this steamy little novella from one of my favorite writers of this lifestyle, Brianna Hale, knocked my pant...errr... socks! off again with Dom Fitness. So great! Dom and Amelia were everything I could ask for in a couple! Could not get enough! Hope there are more books to come about the Dom Fitness Gym!

*Received this ARC of Dom Fitness from Enticing Journey Book Promotions for my honest review.

5 Stars for originality and more!

I enjoy reading daddy romance books so I’ve read my fair share which makes most of them hard to stand out or stay in my mind. I use them as a quick guilty pleasure reading romp mostly. Dom Fitness was a unique story-line I’d not read before so its sticking with me! I’m super giddy just thinking about it! Entertaining and sexy, you can’t really ask for more! :)

I read this baby in a daddy bundle awhile back now BH made it into a single book!! And like always it's a short delicious book.

Ameila had a assignment go see what's the deal with this Doms Gym.. you have men or woman scream at you? More then what trainers do? Making you reach your goal. So she heads over and tells the owner Dominic it's for a paper but shes acting bratty just the person Dom loves.. so he gives her a choice let him work her out and show her what it feels like to have a dom, their work outs are hot and heavy and turns into daddy kink 🔥🔥🔥 this is the first time Dom had done this with a client his Peaches just called to him. Now hes going to keep her.

Their are some bratty moments but let's be honest who isn't blah at the gym.. and not wanting to work out when your tried.. but lord I love Dom he was a Delicious man. And Amelia was great to she wasn't really bratty he just brought out her inner brat.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, sexy times, no virgins (6 years for h) idk for him.

Brianna Hale, I love your mind and how you think. This short and steamy novella was exciting! I was incredibly entertained. I love the concept of this novel LOL. This was funny, adventurous, and fast-paced. The chemistry between the leads was lovely. Hale is an expert at exploring kinks and her sexy time is always top notch. Honestly, I wanted more!!! I recommend this to all lovers of BDSM romance, exciting romance, and a lead couple with impeccable chemistry!

Funny (really funny!), sweet and hot.
The idea of combining workout and sex? Great one! Well, not in the gym - the gym is all about mental manipulation for achieving fitness goals, which sounds ridiculous but pretty cool as well.
The characters were likeable and had a great chemistry. A sweet and a very short read for in-between.

4 starsss discovering your inner brat?? aw man this book was honestly so cute and fun to read. a gym run by Doms that focuses heavily on discipline and praising of their subs.
Amelia, a newbie, gets to meet Daddy Dom (literally) and was left with no choice but to listen to daddy if she wants to complete her article. things get hot and heavy pretty quickly!

also, i guess its a blessing for Amelia's boss to send her to this gym, they're such perfect match! loved how Dom is bringing out more of Amelia's brattiness. sign me up if there's a trainer like Dom ugh

this was a quick steamy novella that should have been a full length book. I loved the concept but because it was so short, it didn’t get me in the feels like hale’s other novels do.

Hot Dom! Sorry, damn...

by KarinB

This book, even with all the cheesy obvious cliches, made me laugh and smile. Because, how can you not?

"Joshua regards me in silence, raking me from my high ponytail to the tips of my sneakers. “Oh, you’re a special case, are you?”

It's a sub free zone over there, and Amelia and me had fun together...
It seems that Dom was exactly what she needed but also, she was his match as well, in all regards...

“Yes. All right. Fine.”
“Yes, daddy.”
I look up at him, startled. “Excuse me?”
Dom leans down from his great height so that his lips are very close to my ear, and he says quietly, but firmly, “You’re going to call me daddy. Say, yes daddy.”

I'm sure that if the book was longer, then we could have enjoyed a more slow paced, building of their relationships and the plot, but this is a short one so get on board ,no questions asked because the ride is short and fun!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was my first Brianna Hale book and I enjoyed this so much! As soon as I saw this takes place in a gym run by BDSM dominants, I was sold! When I saw that this also had daddy kink, I almost peed my pants a little. I love DDLG and this was just done so good. Amelia was just the right amount of bratty and Dom was so damn alpha. If you are a fan of daddy kink like I am, then check this out!

"All right, you’re going to feel the burn, but that’s a good thing."

I found this novella when I really just needing something off the wall smutty and fun to take my mind off of life and this novella did just that! A BDSM gym is certainly a very unique concept, but I surprisingly was able to suspend my disbelief while reading. I think by the title you know what you're getting into and this book delivered to my expectations, haha.

(ARC provided in exchange for review)
Brianna Hale was the first author I read this year when I read her book Control Freak which I absolutely loved so I was excited to have received an early copy of her newest novella
This was a really fast paced and fun romance with an interesting concept which i’m gonna be honest, if this type of gym existed I’d be interested in working out more myself 😂
The dynamic that Dom and Amelia had was really fun to read and the steamy scenes they shared had me sweating and now I really wish I had a Dominic in my own life(please universe send one my way!) I also loved Amelia’s journey with her artwork and finding her passion again, also I just wanted to give her the biggest hug when she talked about how she was labeled “frigid” by her coworkers
Overall, this was a really easy read that delivered greatly on the smut and romance and once again I look forward to residing more from Brianna in the future!

Ok this was hot. It was the first book I've read where the fmc calls the mmc "daddy" and it's not my kink but this book have just given me one😳. And it was unfortunately short so it felt kind of rushed. I really wish it could have been a proper full length novel because I loved it but it was just a short story. And I will definitely be reading more from this author because damn she can write smut👀 and now I will be looking for more gym smut recs because this one was H O T

Wow, I so disappointed. For one, I think the idea is too good for a novella and I know we would not have enough time to properly establish the setting.
Amelia's character made a full 180° as soon as she met Dom.
And Dom broke all the business's rules for no good reason.

I am so excited about this. I have a healthy curiosity for all things daddy, but the premise of this novella goes into pure euphoria territory. Come on, just picturing something like this in real life has me blushing, daydreaming and giggling like crazy.

The author, BH, has expanded on the revolutionary concept of setting up a gym run by dominants to cater to the need for discipline, structure and praise of subs. I can totally believe it! Does that make me naïve or just plain turned on? 😂

I don’t know, but I own it.

It's about this junior writer at a magazine who has to write a piece on this new Dom(inated) gym and finds herself going through a thorough work-out dictated by the hottest instructor Dom ever.

I devoured the story. It's so fun and sensual. I loved Amelia with her bratty reactions to the strange situation and her confused feelings prompted by the dynamics between Daddy and good girl. Dom is stern but his discipline would even tempt me into exercising! I think, but maybe some of those positions would just kill me 😂

It's not all sweating in the gym or without clothes, there’s also a sweet and inspiring theme of trust, inner strength and love. I really liked Amelia's true dream and how both their lives melded so well at the end. Really lovely and arousing. I wish I could read more stories out of this gym. A girl can dream 💜

Oooh I liked this one a lot for a shorter story. I’m all about that daddy kink and this was pretty unique - a gym with trainer Doms.

Amelia gets paired up with Dom (short for Dominic) when she gets tasked to write an article about the new gym. She has no idea about the whole bdsm scene and is surprised when Dom tells her to call him daddy. She’s a bratty little thing and Dom is wanting to be more than just her trainer daddy. He wants to be her 24/7 daddy.

Epilogue is cute and I’m looking forward to reading book 2.

This is a short story about a gym for BDSM fans. How could I not read it?!

This novella was... different. Maybe is the kink, maybe is the characters, I had some fun reading it. I like when something takes me out of my confort zone, and this book did it.

It's funny, steamy, fast paced - I totally recomend if you are looking for something different - not a cliche - and fast :)

This was a cute but really hot story. It made me laugh in places and then got me feeling all the hotness in other places. I enjoyed the dynamics between Dominic and Amelia as they worked their way through their relationship.

This started off strong and then flopped for me... if it were longer, I think I would have liked it more, but some of the talk was still very cringe. Still a fun concept though! Now excuse me while I search for a dom gym near me...

A newbie reporter is sent to scope out the new Dom gym that opened up, she is full of sass and requires a very special trainer. This was very fun and cute to read. I love the little spanks and the sexy times!
