Thank you for all the replies, did not expect to get so many. In conclusion this is what we’re going to do, while I also try to reply some of the comments here.

Have you failed to factor in human fallibility to your cost-benefit analysis for this gym membership?

We agreed if anyone is going to be late, then they should notify in advance.

Three times? I’d switch trainers as they’re not respecting the time I’m paying them for. Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn’t go back. There’s plenty of trainers out there. 5 minutes is about 8% of an hour. If he’s just driving in at 5 past, it’s gonna be closer to 10 past before he’s actually training you. He’s not giving you 15% of the hour you have paid for, and if he does it 7 times, he’s stolen a whole hour of training from you Go elsewhere. If they don’t respect your time and money someone else will. Sounds like my hairstylist. I’m always her first client of the day, and I always end up sitting outside and waiting for her to get there. I get it, going to work sucks. She’s good and I like the location, so I don’t complain.

All valid points, but I’m going to give him another shot, just because he’s a great kid with a great attitude during sessions. He has a big focus on form which I really appreciate to avoid get injuries.

Warm up stretches.

I walk to the gym, its not too far, then walk up 3 floors of car parking to the gym’s back entrance (gym is in a mall and the main entrance only opens at 10.30am). Pretty warm by then! I guess that’s part of my frustration. Happy to say I went to the gym today and everything was set up and ready to go by the time I arrived.
