Yeah I agree with yall but its either him or no one. At least he's making up the sessions but I dont think I'll sign up for more.

I'd ask for my money back and take my business else where.

Oversleeping is a pretty lame excuse for a professional.

Yeah, but you're paying him to get up so he best be there. I would find someone else. That's just not professional at all.

It doesn't matter what time he has to get up to get there, he agreed to the time and needs to stick to it. He needs to offer compensation, at minimum making up the missed sessions at no cost to you. Given that it was circumstances in his control (it's not like he was in an auto accident or had a family emergency), I believe he sould offer additonal compensation. What he has done is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. He needs to either shape up and make it to work on time or...

You have to get up at 4:30 too and you're doing all the work!

Well, only once the excuse was oversleeping. But he does have to get up at 4:30am on the days we meet.

They have a damn easy job so to miss it consistently with no regard for anyone else's schedule is just plain rude. As the owner, it's especially unprofessional. These are situations when I'd have politely demand something if his unprofessional ass didn't offer anything as he should have.

That's really unprofessional.

My ex was a PT and if he had to miss a session w/ a client, he'd make sure they rescheduled it or added an extra session on [to make up for the missed one]. But if the client missed it w/o letting him know, he was like yeahhhh fuck that lol.

he owns the business and oversleeps repeatedly?

Re: Let's say you're a personal trainer and you miss

feeds@yuku.com (ipodconga) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:37:29 GMT

Yeah. Is he at least going to make up the sessions you missed? How much longer do you have with him? Have you been seeing results despite his missed sessions?

Re: Let's say you're a personal trainer and you miss

feeds@yuku.com (green lights 30) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:37:27 GMT

yeah, it's surprising bc he doesn't sound professional at all

When my trainer missed a session (which was once) he refunded the cost.

Re: Let's say you're a personal trainer and you miss

feeds@yuku.com (gravis911) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:36:00 GMT

He's the head trainer and owns the business. So I'd have to tell him I wanted a new trainer and that would be awkward and whatever. I'm annoyed by the whole thing, but not too upset. I just thought it was really strange that he didn't offer any compensation, ya know?

Re: Let's say you're a personal trainer and you miss

feeds@yuku.com (ipodconga) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:34:31 GMT

Is there more than one trainer? Can you switch to a new one who'll compensate for those missed sessions and be more diligent about keeping their appointments? I wouldn't want to continue with this one.

feeds@yuku.com (gravis911) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:32:06 GMT

Don't you guys think the normal thing would be for the trainer to offer that? Or no?

I agree with what ipodconga said.

feeds@yuku.com (gravis911) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 16:25:28 GMT

3 sessions for the same person in a matter of 3 weeks. What would you do to compensate for that? You only meet the person 2 times a week and you never called to cancel these sessions, you just forgot and overslept.
