Training Your Trainer???

How does one train their trainer? Lol The new person Im training with does not encourage me in the same way as the last. I almost think he doesnt really like me. Lol Maybe I talk too much trash... but that is how I make it through the session and mostly it is just me telling bad jokes. The other trainer was better natured and would humor me. I feel like I disappoint him more than impress him, and I never used to feel that way with the other person. It is taking some getting used to, but I do not enjoy the experience as much, and almost feel like he doesnt care whether I am comfortable with the exercises/speed. I AM USED TO TAKING TIME TO RECOVER... but when I pause for morethan 5-10 seconds, he acts as though I am trying to cheat. Thats just not me. My other trainer told me I always "bring it." Even if I dont have a super strong day, it always made me optimistic about the next session.

My first trainer was like yours.. He didn't really care for me because I was super sarcastic and would make joke around/make fun of him. He always got butt hurt and told me one" all my friends at the gym make fun of me now because of you". Needless to say, when he got fired was the best day of my life!

I say, if you are really not working out, go talk to the gym manager or who ever and see if you can switch trainers. Then once you do, just tell him "I'm sorry, but our personalities didn't match, and I decided to find someone else". If he's a decent trainer, he'll understand.
