I have realized something very vital when hiring a personal trainer - never be late and never miss a session. I am only on my second training session, so neither one pertains to me. I have been there both times, ready to go, unfortunately the same can not be said for my personal trainer.

I was there at 8 AM, walking my ass off on the treadmill, watching Good Morning America, and getting the most horrendous cramp in my foot. I kept going. After 25 minutes of walking and almost 15 minutes into my training session, my trainer was still not there. I kept walking!

Well, 8:45 AM rolled around, signaling the end of the training session that she never showed for and time for me to shower and head off to work. It’s weird, I thought the client was suppose to ditch training, not the other way around.

Still no return phone call, no reply to my email, but that’s OK… I was still there, devoted to getting my body and mind in shape, too bad my personal trainer can’t be as devoted.

Now, I know there are always reasons why someone might miss, but if you know you have an appointment and can’t make it, call the night before, call the morning of, something, so you don’t leave someone like me hanging that already is having issues with the reason for a personal trainer to begin with.
