@3BG, from the very beginning my plan was to only use the trainer for a year. It looks like I am approaching that term amount which is typically the length of time I spend with most trainers I hire. Gonna transition out with him in the following month. The good thing is that the timing works just as I am getting ready for the PfMP exam and Baldrige Examiner Project which will keep me busy through the end of the year. I will evaluate my need for a trainer then. For now will stick with my own combination of intensity training.

I make up my own mind at my own pace. This journey has made it easier for me to discern what information is worthwhile and what isn't. Just because I take someone's advice once means that I am always going to take anyone's advice in the future.

Get a trainer that knows what he’s doing. It’s counterproductive to your goals to have a trainer that doesn’t really know what he’s doing. This trainer is BAD.

I would recommend doing a program on your own. You might find that you don’t even need a trainer. This is a good reference for programs. It allows you to search based on your preferences:

i think i learned what I could from this one and him about me. It was never my intent to go beyond a year with this trainer.

I am going to take a break from the trainer. Think it's time to apply a combination of what I have integrated into my workout.
Unless you are going through different phases of training i.e. maintenance, bulk, prep, etc... and have not hit all of them you probably have learned everything you can from a trainer in 6 months. Honestly, as soon as your workouts stop changing the trainer is only there to keep you on track. If you are a self motivated person then there is no point in paying them to do nothing.

yeah, we were making some gains, but i don't feel the training is where it should be at. I feel we lost sync and I have learned what I could from him. In a way I feel relieved, not because I won't be training, but I won't be so bothered by this schedule. I know once Baldrige project comes along, I will be working out in the later hours or wee-morning.
