Lack of patience

It is very disappointing to me as a personal trainer when I see some people coming to the gym hoping to get some magic done to their out of shape bodies. They want a 'perfect' figure without having the patience to work on a disciplined gym routine supplemented by a balanced diet.

Most important of all, such people tend to slacken when they see some minor improvements, which leads to the fat piling up with renewed vigor.

It is very disappointing to me as a trainer that such people are very near to their goal of a fit body but can't get there because of a lack of patience and perseverance.

I used to work in a gym setting, and being a personal trainer in there, if you didn't have the magic answer, my GOD!!! People would get a pissy fit then an attitude.

I had one client I worked with really hard for over a year, and had gastric bypass surgery, we managed to lose 45 pounds, but when she left, calling me about 5 months later, it all came back, and I couldn't understand why she gave up so quickly
