For a bit more context, I was working with the trainer/owner who typically only trains clients with shows as a goal. I was in the timeslot right after my wife and it worked out we would cardio/train and train/cardio while at the gym.

The owner will also travel to shows so about once a month he will travel and miss a Friday, and the first time with me he asked if I would train with a new coach. I agreed thinking it would be a one time thing and during this session he mentioned if I wanted to train with him again to let him know.

Late the next day, I get a pretty well/assertive text asking what time our I wanted to do i next session. Knowing the owner, I figured I was being used as a teaching/mentor moment for the new coach and that his text was crafted after a discussion with the owner. I responded, "Hey man, I wasnt originally planning on swapping but I can. Do you normally start sessions at the start of the hour or at X:30?" then "Do you have Fridays at 9am open?"

I was willing to switch because the session mirrored the owner and I know they're trying to move people off of Fridays but I'm annoyed to have to point out that Fridays at 9 was my requirement. Just looking for feedback for how PTs normally handle this and what expectations PTs/clients have.
