Only when my dentist isn't paying me enough attention. He does give the best hugs though.

thanks everyone - overall I am happy with the PT, the workouts are varied and interesting. it is just that one element of being a little unreliable and late for sessions.
I wouldn't dream of mentioning who the PT is. Only reason I posted here was to get other people's perspective.

This is my first time using a PT, and as there are several people here who have had more exposure to PT's. I wanted to see what their thoughts are.

Thinking of trying another PT on the one hand just to see what approach they would have and then seeing who I work best with.

In saying that I do not want either to be using different PT every few weeks!! I'll have a chat with my PT on my next session

taking the PT aspect out of it.

If any provider didn't value my service then I'd move provider.
BUt as said talk to him and let him know your disappointment. But to be honest if it was my cash I'd probably walk.

BTW dog died wtf....
If I didn't show for work (I run my own business too) cos my dog died I'd lose my client pretty quick

It depends..

Ben Dunne gyms charge 25 bucks an hour. I know a place charging 75 bucks for 30 minutes.

Freelance PT, you might get better deals off peak, but generally anything from 40-80 for an hour once off. Possibly a 10-20% discount if you buy 5-10 sessions in a block.

Where are you located? Where do you work? (location, for recommendations!)

Great dudes. But how do you know they're relevant to the OP?

Their location says Kildare. Might not be suitable at all. Usually worth asking where they are first.

they're the only people I know in Dublin

€60 for assessment, instruction and a program is good value imo

It's great value, but you don't know if that person is in Dublin.
