Well, after a month’s efforts, it turns out that no one at the community center has time to become a personal trainer for me. They only have times available during the main portion of the work day. No one gets up as early in the morning to work out as I do, and all their evenings are full.
As I previously stated, the only one who was up early, basically gave me workout pointers that I had been given by my previous personal trainer, and didn’t listen to what I wanted to get out of my sessions, or what I had done previously, then said I was through with him.
And now I see that in the intervening weeks he has someone else in that same time slot. From what I have overheard sounds like it might be someone he worked with before and is working with again. So was I scheduled at an inconvenient time?
I don’t know, I have a sense of rejection out of the whole thing, the taste isn’t right. At least they are choosing to refund the package that I purchased — though again, I don’t know if it goes to my credit card where originally billed, or as a credit to our account at the community center itself.
I mean, part of it makes me question whether I am communicating clearly. Yet I have absolutely no problems with my swim coach. She, in fact, makes comments on how great a student I am for listening and learning, and posing questions back in the process. It just irritates my desire to comprehend and be understood to not be able to make myself taken seriously in one place, and be so successful in the other.
