I made a comment very early this morning on this thread that was very poorly worded - it was actually directed to differences in the space/type of workouts available between my old and new gym and not a personal judgment on my former trainer. I've removed that original comment and want to go on record regarding that. My wording was unfortunate and without knowing the context appeared to be blasting him personally, but that was far from my intention or purpose.

My former trainer was quite good and he and his wife became friends over the years. He gave me extra time and was very helpful to me in my process of reversing diabetes and becoming more bike-fit and general fitness, and I am thankful for all of his help and efforts.
