When training a client, they come to your gym with the intention of working out and eventually achieving their fitness goals. When you train a friend or family member, it may not be as easy to get the same commitment from them. Describe any experience you have had with training a friend or family member.

"Training a friend can be more difficult than training a client because we already have a relationship outside of the context of fitness. I tried to train a friend who wanted to lose weight, but it was hard to get the same commitment from them. We often ended up leaving the gym and going out to lunch instead."
