For the amount of money I'm forking over at my gym for membership fees, training fees and nutritionist fees, I really hope that they are not trying to fuck me over.
I had my appointment with the nutritionist (in which I did learn some interesting things -- mainly, save my carbs for POST workout ... even if post workout is later in the evening) who sported a lovely Russian accent. I got a kick out of it the most when she said to me, "Choose foods that is nice for you to taste." That's what got me in this mess in the first place Anna! But, I like that she LOVES food so much that she would not even think of suggesting bland meals.
Anyways, she kept saying that I had an appointment with my trainer at 9pm. I just kind of shrugged it off thinking I wasn't understanding her because (a) I'm not feeling 100% and (b) did I mention her lovely Russian accent?
After about the 5th time she said it, I realized that it wasn't the language barrier or my mucous standing in the way of her getting her thoughts across ... apparently I really did have an appointment scheduled in the system for tomorrow at 9pm. The problem with that is I would not have showed up. Because my appointment is for THURSDAY at SEVEN. Not WEDNESDAY at NINE. But the thing is that my Thursday appointment was logged in as well as this mysterious Wednesday appointment.
Since my trust-meter for people usually begins in the negatives when they are still considered strangers, I automatically thought the worst. I really hope that I'm wrong and there was a mistake. Because if they think that I'm paying for sessions that I was not made privy of and therefore would be missing, well that would piss me off just a little. And if they tried to come back at me and say that "it was scheduled in the system", well that just won't fly with me. Because I am recording every single session I have in my own little system -- my little black book.
But I will give trainer girl the benefit of the doubt. After all it was she who told me that if possible, could we have earlier sessions. And last I checked, 9pm was not early. Also ... I sweated with her! I mean, if that doesn't forge a connection between the two of us, then I don't know what will.

don't know when you put 'a beautiful mess' on here but that's one of my faves! feel better, don't trust them, eat well, invest in a mini-lysol.
You dont have a male trainer..??
Sweat = success!
I would do anything for a personal trainer.
So good she isn't just recommending chicken breasts and broccoli... And sweating with someone is like meeting their family.
I'm glad she's not suggesting some random horrible crap to eat too.
I think thats a pretty vague desription of things to eat...check out fitday.com - my trainer and I work with this site as a way to let me see what I am eating and how it fuels me....I think you'll like the site as it's very interactive..let me know how you like it...
I love it when nutritionists are realistic about eating. I went to one once that said I should be eating chicken and long grain rice. WTF? Maybe once in awhile I can get down with that, but boring! You should be able to eat the things you like but learn how to eat the proper quantities. Portion control is probably the biggest thing when trying to lose weight.
I LOVED having a trainer - he helped me Soooo much to get into actually loving the gym, (sickening I know) and actually going of my own free will and not just because my trainer called to remind me of our appointment. I went to the gym and knew what I was doing! I worked out and didn't care if I sweated!
Then like 6 months later I stopped going when my membership ran out. I REALLY need to renew it.
Anyway, enough about me - I hope they weren't actually trying to screw you and it was some sort of blip in the system.
Good luck with the training!!
Well Ir eally hope it works out, because if you're going to pay you should at least get to sweat! And grunt.
I wish you the best of luck- I am allergic to gyms and trainers
You wouldn't want me as a trainer.
I'd just be like, "Fuck it. Let's eat some burgers"
I couldn't agree more. When you sweat with someone, it's a whole different level!
Technology is the devil!! Why do people think, "it is in the system" is a valid reason?! Technology is far from flawless.
Were you offered a decent explanation for what happened? And more importantly, a free session to sweat with Russian girl? If not, then don't trust the system. And if that's the case, Russian girl is probably working for the Russian maffia undercover, saving them money for a new black Mercedes. ;)
In terms of relationships forged at the gym, the sweat bond is one of the strongest; right behind the "sauna sweat bond' and the "just saw me naked and I'm not going to gouge your eyes out for it" bond.
way to go!
I miss my trainer in the U.S.! But for me, 9pm is sooo much better than 6a when I used to meet him!
