I’ve been thinking about this for some time now, and thought I would just put it down in words.

I don’t think that those of us who have hired personal trainer’s give them enough credit.  I don’t, I’ll admit it.  My trainer has been there from day one, and has put up with some crap from me.  But here we are 10 weeks in, and it’s better now than the first day!  I’ve finally realized that he really does know what he’s talking about, and that I’ve finally stopped fighting him, and just do what he says!  It has been working from the start, so I don’t know why I’ve been fighting it.

Maybe, I’ve realized, that I’ve been secretly and deep down fighting myself.  Scared to be progressing toward the goal that I set for myself.  There, I’ve said it.  But you know what?  He hasn’t let me quit.  He has pushed me, and is continuing to push me.  "This is what you pay me for!"  And it’s true.

So come on and join me in giving a little more credit where credit is due to our trainers who put up with our whining, fussing, disobedience, outright hatred, and ultimately our admiration.  When you see your trainer next, say Thanks for everything…
