A Threat from my Trainer - The Biggest Loser Fansite Forums

*LOL*

The last time I worked out with my trainer, he informed me that if I miss another day (call in the day of the appointment to cancel)...he is still going to charge me for the session!!

He told me he is not doing it to be mean...but rather to help me and get me to come in! hahaha

He's such a smartass....but yet so motivational at the same time.

LOL - sounds like a good way to stop you from missing the sessions!!

I definitely find that approach motivating - with WW, you have to pay if you miss a class so I always go! Similarly with the gym, now I've paid for my membership, I'm definitely going to go and get my money's worth!

Best of luck with your workouts!

I suppose that would be motivating and from his point he could fill that time with someone else so for him time is money.

Good luck with your workouts.

I think this was definitely a threat to motivate you to kick it in gear. I hope that he doesn't receive payment from a missed workout - keep it up. You can do it! How many have you missed?

Hi Missy!!
I think that's great that you have a trainer like that to motivate you. I need someone to start charging me for missing my workouts... any volunteers that will take my money?

Just kidding!

I think I have missed 2 or 3 since January due to my new work schedule and one was just cuz I didn't feel like going. And to answer your question, he doesn't receive money for sessions I cancelled...but he told me he would start charging for them if I keep missing

I think it takes a lot for a person to use a personal trainer - I don't know if I could do it. 2 or 3 workouts aren't much but I understand his motivation technique.
