    I hadn't been to the gym for so long they'd knocked it down and built a new one in my absence. On my first trip back (a few weeks ago) I couldn't work out how the complicated turnstile thing worked and had a big queue build up behind me, a small child took pity on me and showed me how to get in. I've also fallen off a treadmill before now. Hey... they've seen it all before! :)

    i almost fell off just today! i was walking sideways... people snickered because it was quite amusing.

    They already know you've been gone for 8 months. How much longer are you going to make them wait? ????

    You need to remember that the personal trainer is working for you. It is their job to provide you with an appropriate workout and in a totally comfortable (mentally) way. I have a son who is a personal trainer and he sees his work as helping people, he wants to design a program that works for someone and he enjoys the challenge of adjusting workouts so his clients lose weight and get healthy. Yes you should be able to have a personal trainer once or twice a week for however long you have sessions. If you have a trainer who gives you attitude then dump them just like you would any employee who isn't doing their job. Get back in there and don't let anything or anyone stand in your way. Good luck.
