Hi Sharon

Though I concur in spirit with the "piss off and sop bugging response" that would normally be called for in this situation, BUT since you have a proven whinny person, you may need to think about what whinning will go on at the office if you ditch her in such a "callous" fashion.

I would go for a gentler "piss off approach" and explain that you liked "working out with her and showing her the ropes" but now she has gotten the hang of it, she can really make progress doing her own training. She know her needs better than you do and needs to tailor her workout for her own needs which are different from yours.

Perhaps if you are feeling kind, offer her a program with exercises she knows how to do, that is COMPLETELY different from what you are doing, and if you can tolerate her, go to the gym together and let her do her personalized workout for herself.
