I got into a very interesting discussion the other day about the personal trainer/client relationship with my friend (and fellow PT). Specifically, it was about how that relationship can turn into a friendship, especially with long-term clients.
She has had a client for over a year and feels that this person views her more as a friend than as a trainer. As a result, my PT friend feels that her client isn't getting the results that she would like, but happily pays week after to week to have a "workout buddy".
Here is the dilemma:
Do you continue to work with a client who is not reaching her fitness goals, but is happy to continue to pay for your services?
OR
Do you end the relationship knowing that, despite your best efforts, you are not able to help them progress any further?
I have a few thoughts on this.
