It sounds like you already played this situation out.  Why did you put up with this guy for so long? 

I suppose I'm just a kind soul.

You might need some instruction on how to be more assertive.

 :D

It's possible that getting a new trainer at the same gym might be as awkward as the seinfeld roommate switch.  We'll see.

I would ask if he is on twitter but I'm guessing the work computers aren't up long enough to tweet.

first trim moves to seattle and now he's trying to gain 35 pounds super quick and spending all his free time fishing for marlin.

when you break up with your trainer, let him know that you were very disappointed not to get the almond butter marinated marlin recipe you requested.

So did you break up with your trainer or what?

I would have just gone to the gym on my own for a couple weeks then went to the front desk to sign up for some training sessions and when they said "Issac is available on this date" say "No, I'd rather sign up with someone else."

Yep, and within the last 21 hours right before I was going to break up with him.  Not only that, Tobias' prediction seems likely.

not sure if I've shared this before, but I live on a lot that my landlord owns. My duplex is at the front of the lot and he lives in a house at the back of the lot. Every political season, he puts right wing (at least for California) signs in front of our house that we disagree with. I don't want people to think we support his views, but also we pay way less for rent than we should and are friendly with each other and I don't want to piss them off. Now the sign is actually one in favor of an anti-rent control measure. what do you do in this situation?

my wife stole one when they had a sign for the DA that warned citizens that an In-n-Out would bring gang activity to town

that is a really tough one. political signs (of any kind whatsoever) are unbelievably cringey

Put your own opposing sign in the yard also.
