Hi,
Looks like it is too late to turn the clocks back with this client, unless you make some major changes in how you are relating to him. You need to stop all out of session meetings, as a trainer you are there to provide a service and get paid for it, not to meet up with your clients in your spare time for no reward.
You need to control the topics of conversation, you do not need to talk about wellbeing related subjects all the time, and in fact I think it can help to understand a client a little better if you know a little about there life, but you must not become too involved.
One thing I would say that if you feel that you are not giving him 100% and as you say you are finding it hard to push him, i would not re-new the contract at all.
Just my view on it all, from the snap shot you have given us.
Hope this helps you.
TOM
