I'd never worked out in my life. So, I visited many gyms, found a mom & pop, and hired the trainer free from corporate constraints.

My second session he said, "You might be better off doing bodyweight exercises at home for a few weeks."

I told him that there was absolutely no way I'd form this habit by myself. I needed him to hold me accountable. I needed a routine.

We did bodyweight exercises at the gym for a few weeks. We set goals of a certain number of push ups, (band assisted) pull ups, sit ups, and (I forgot the name of the hamstring exercise) to "earn" my way back to the machines and free weights.

I can definitely understand how a trainer could get frustrated with an individual. But, a trainer that sends a noob home simply sucks. They should at least provide a referral to another trainer.
