Wow, I guess this is more common than I thought. Well, my client didn't show for her appointment yesterday, so im hoping she'll show tommorow. Im going to give her a good workout tommorow very similar to "real fast fat loss", and then after its over, open up the communication a bit. I want to see what she's hoping to accomplish with me, what she likes, and what she dislikes. Then im going to explain why im doing things the way im doing them. I'm going to see if she'll go for two weeks more, at which point she can decide if she wants to continue with me, or go to someone else.

I agree with what was mentioned about some people just not clicking with eachother. One thing about me, that actually kept me from being a trainer for so long was that I couldn't understand how people could find it worth it to pay a trainer so much. Before I ever even started training, i had an idea about what my style might be. Im most interested in corrective movement, and getting people to "perform" in a correct manner. Also, I would like to educate people to the point where they no longer are dependant on me. This may not be the usual method of training, but who knows, in the long run, it may be better to train a larger population of people even if you only train them for 3-6 months and then send them out on there own. We'll have to see. Thanks again for all the feedback, its good to see that im not the only one thats experienced this problem, and some methods of dealing with it.
