Little Bit Of A Downer

Today Trainer told me that he's thinking of quitting the gym.  Okay, switching gyms.  He doesn't get many hours right now, and he's not getting a lot of new clients.  As someone who I know really likes what he does, I'm sure that's getting him down, and I don't begrudge him wanting to do what's best for himself.  I have heard that my gym isn't doing so well in general anyway, so it's bound to happen.

I'm just feeling sorry for myself since I've been training so long with him and am comfortable with his style.  I suppose I'd just have to carry on with a new trainer if it came down to that, but I kind of see it like losing a friend too.

The worst part is I went ahead and renewed my training sessions as well, so if I made some crazy decision to follow him to another gym (which I totally could because the gym he's looking into is the one my company has a corporate discount with), I'd be forking out a lot of dough to this gym first.  At least I got 6 months free membership out of this latest deal.  Trainer did say he'd stick around as long as I'd want to train with him, but the thing is he can't go train at another gym if he's working here.  As much as I want to keep him, I wouldn't want to hold him back.

In the end, it's his decision to make anyway, and I'll just have to get used to the idea that there may be some changes, and take it from there.  I know I can't train with him for the rest of my life, I just don't accept change very well.  We'll see how it goes.

I know it has been a while.  Everything is good, status-quo, same-old same old.

Except for the fact that I SIGNED UP TO CLIMB THE CN TOWER!  That is 1,1776 steps, people!

A couple of times a year they open the stairwells up for people to collect pledges and climb the stairs for charity.  I am sure I've mentioned that Trainer has suggested that I do this in posts past, but this time I decided to go for it.  Trainer seems to think that I can do it in 20 minutes.  I seem to think he's crazy.  I will just be glad if I can make it to the top without dying.  For sure he's going to put me on a stair-master-centered cardio program now, and that's fine with me.
