Werd to John. You are the master in this situation, so take charge. I once stopped a session midway in because I was training someone who was whining way too much and fighting me on every exercise we did. Finally I said, we're done.

It sucked because I was risking a client, but I was really annoyed. Interesting thing though is that it got her in that 'shit, I cant fuck around' mode and subsequently started obeying more.

Whenever I see something like your situation, I just pretend like its not there and still keep my demeanor to let them know Im not impressed and that they need to get their ass in gear. Once they know they cant get to you or the mood changes, their behavior will as well. If not, then raise your rates or threaten to drop them based on acquiescence to the program (not on their flirtiness).
