The scene in the gym when Oden and Hugo are working out together is pivotal because it really illustrates the conflict between the two and sets the tone for things to come. Oden has an opportunity to stand up to Hugo but Hugos personality and ability to manipulate is to strong for Oden. Had Oden been more confident in his relationship with his girlfriend he would not have let Hugo get into his head, however Hugos plan worked. I think this particular scene is important because you really begin to see Hugo for who he is, a master manipulator who will do anything or take advantage of anybody he thinks he needs to.
