    should i do this

    Thinking about stopping using a personal trainer. We are supposed to meet @ 8:20 am and he continues to show up @ 8:30 which is starting to cause me to be late from work. I have asked him numerous times if we can meet at this time. I hate to be a jerk, but i am so rushed for time and every minute counts. any suggestions?

    WTF?! IF YOU ARE PAYING for his services, he should be biding by every command you make.. if you say show up at 8:19:30seconds that fuxor shud be standing there spot on time and ready to go.
    wat a piece, i'd tell that fvcker to give you a refund.

    Man, I hate this shit more than anything.

    Whenever there is a set time for you to meet someone, they should be there. This goes for any type of appointment, meeting, date, etc... Some girls are always gonna be late, but if they're fine, whatever.

    It's one of my biggest pet peeves when I have to wait on someone that is supposed to be a professional. If the fucker is showing up late, find someone else. Shit, be rude. It's his job to be on time.

    I would get a new personal trainer. Period. I can't stand tardiness. Maybe he'll understand when he supposed to meet you to train at 8:20 and when he shows up at 8:30 you are with your new trainer. Then he'll get the message.
    Peace,

    That's the one thing that pisses me off more than anything is when my trainers come in late for their clients. Don't put up with it. There''s plenty of trainers out there that will respect their clients wishes and i'm sure you can find one that will do just as good of a job, if not better for the same price.
    You wouldn't be a jerk for asking to receive what you're paying for.

    I just feel like a little b**ch, I am going to call him tomorrow and lay the law down. I figure our workout takes 1 hour 15 mins. I figure we start @ 8:20am , I am out of there at 9:35 am which is perfect for me... I guess I will break it down. If he can't be there so be it. I have to get to work and I cannot rush around like a chicken with me head cut off.... I can't see how hard 10 mins is, not like I am asking to start 1 hour early.. I feel like I am a good client, I pay way in advance.... Actually only 2 days we need to start at this time is chest,biceps and shoulders and triceps... back and legs each day do not take very long... Just over the last week, He gets there at 8:30, 8:40, 8:45... I am just sitting there looking like an idiot when I get there @ 8:15 am

    tell him how it is, give him one chance and tell him the consequences if he doesn't adhere to your request. he fux up again, tell him you won't be needing him anymore.

    F@ck her, she would be gone, they make damn good money. And she cant be there 10 minutes earlier. A women personal trainer, good luck trying to get her there on time. makeup, hair, etc...
