Too bad for me I had an injury which requires surgery 15 sessions into a 45 session plan. Although it wasn't directly related to lifting and I made mention of it prior to signing on, John did assure me that while he does not normally issue credit, in my case, he would. & why not? Payment for services generally contingent upon services rendered. However after he agreed to reimburse the unused portion of my $2,800, each month that I contacted him, his text reply was: "I haven't forgotten about you". Comforting statement. Never the less after this 6 month charade I had no choice but to charge back the credit card as time on that option was expiring rapidly. It's a shame because the few sessions we worked together were productive. But when a person looks me in the eye, shakes my hand, and says: "I'm a man of my word", and then goes & does the opposite; what I'll remember most is not the productive training but rather that that's a person with low integrity and lacking character. But it's partly on me. I'm a trusting person and took John for his word; and why wouldn't I? We all project our values onto others; & I haven't kept money from anyone which I did not earn, and I projected that value on him; I was mistaken. At some point I stopped caring about the money, it was just upsetting getting strung along by someone who I trusted.
