Good day to you. Before we continue, please bear in mind that I am still a very bad writer and have much to learn. Take my words with a grain... a bag of sand.

With that out of the way:

I shaved the last patch off and looked in the mirror. “Nice.” I smiled. Bald! I flexed my buff biceps ready to exercise!

I stepped out of the bathroom and into the gym.

I removed my biker shorts and trotted to the dumbbells. There’s nothing like being in my panties. I didn’t care if anyone stared. I had to be comfy while I exercised.
Consider finding a way not to start most sentences with an "I" or with too many similar words. It creates monotony.

“I’m Clare.” I smiled.

“Jessie.”

“I just shaved my head in the bathroom.”

“Really?”

“Yep. Had long gorgeous blond hair and I shaved it all off.”

“Why?”

“I just wanted a change. Besides, I like the bald look.”

“So, you brought a razor and shaved your head in this gym?”

“Yeah, crazy, right?”

“Well, I’d imagine you’re not the first person who has done that.”

“Yeah… men…”

“So, do you usually exercise in your underwear?”

“I went through a shitty experience, so I thought I’d make changes.”
Sorry, this is not a realistic exchange, IMO. Jessie would have tried to avoid Clare, because who starts a conversation like that? On the other hand, good job fooling me with the MC's gender reveal.

Pardon mre for asking, but do you have someone in your life?”
It should be " Pardon me"

You should also try to make it clear who is talking to whom. It is a little hard to keep track of when Jessie is talking and when Clare is speaking.
