Well my personal trainer Daniel started at his new club yesterday, so I had my last session with him last Friday. As usual it was a great session, and I felt great coming away from it.
Anyway, today I had my first session with the new guy, Luke. It was shit. Now, at first I was very skeptical of starting with Luke, but I decided to have an open mind and I went into today's session feeling optimistic. But it was not to be. He is the total opposite to Daniel. Normally that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, except that I have only ever trained with Daniel and therefore I have formed my opinions based on the experiences I have had with him. Daniel is laid back, and pushes you in a subtle way, whilst having a laugh here and there. Luke is rigidly structured - like 'we will do this for 15 seconds, then you may have a 20 second break'. Even if I don't WANT the break. It's crap. And the major piss-off - he doesn't seem to see males and females as equal. Like I mentioned that I have issues with my back, and so he gave me a stretch that he tells all his female clients. And went on about how all his female clients have problems with their hips. And that most of his female clients have stronger hammys than quads. And I have to lift this weight differently because I'm a female.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Anyway, I have one more session with him on Friday, then I am seriously going to consider swapping to a different trainer. And if that doesn't solve the problem - I try to get a refund for my remaining sessions and go train with Daniel at his new club. Even though it's more expensive.
I always used to come home feeling happy and energised, but today I'm just plain pissed off.
Oh well, I am going back to the gym tonight for a BodyShape class so hopefully that will cheer me up.
