    Hi everyone, haven't been on in a while I went back to school this week witch is my job. I am almost 3 months out.and down almost 60 lbs.I say almost because I haven't weighed yet this week.any way,a few weeks ago I joined a gym.witch I do like.upon joining,my membership included one free personal training session.well of course the girl was super nice,very helpful.at the time she was running a special on training sessions with her. I explained to her while I would love to work with her her prices were a bit high.we are usually on a tight budget this time of year due to the fact I do not get paid in the summer since I work for a school district.so the trainer has seen me a couple of times in the gym and made the comment the other day that she would be happy to extend her "special" for me. Have any of you ran into any thing else like this.while I believe she is trying to be helpful,I just can't afford it.not sure how to address it.

    congrats on ur success. I hope to be a success like u. Keep up the good work. I would politely express, although I feel u are offering me a nice gesture of ur services I currently prefer self motivation and when if I run into some questions, then I would be interested in ur services. But no thanks for now. She is obviously not getting any clients if she feels the need to be aggressive with her marketing. lol

    Just tell her the truth. Your budget does not permit it but you do appreciate her offer. She should ease up. The fact that you are losing should show her that you are dedicated and she should leave you alone.

    I would thank her for her offer be truthful with her . Tell her it just is not something that you can work in your budget now but if sometimes in the future you fell that is something that you could do that you will contact her . Our Bariatric program had a "$600.00 program fee , not covered by our insurance . It does included a Bariatric personal trainer .. We see him before surgery , in the hospital . Yes he came to the floor and show us things we could do post op. several were to prevent blood clots.. We also see him at each of our doctors appointments. He has been helpful in working out an excersize routine that works good for me . Her services may be helpful when you lose more weight and want to build more muscle so it looks like less saggy skin.
