    He woke up late, won't happen again etc etc. I've got 4 trainers with the gym because I do 6 days a week but only 1 guy is always late. It's also distracting when we're working out and he runs off to swich machines on in the middle of a rep. They always want me to commit 100+ hours each time I renew and paid upfront, so I guess being punctual is not too much to ask. In a way waking up at 6am everyday prepping for gym requires some discipline, I expect no less from the trainers.

      Why wait until it becomes a problem during football season? Ask for a different trainer sooner.

      Yeah, I’d be looking for someone else too. I don’t believe in being a slave to a clock, but he’s just not matching your needs and expectations even when he’s there, so it just isn’t a good pairing. A trainer and client have to be on the same page for them to be able to really guide you.

      Sorry you’re working so hard and not being supported right. There’s plenty of room for a relaxed trainer, but that’s not what you need to meet your goals. Sucky position to be in. If it wasn’t prepaid, I’d say just walk entirely since it’s a recurring issue.

      Good thing is that trainers tend to have a fairly high turnover rate, so he may end up not being there long.
