> then you are more likely to have more control over when and where you can do your activity.

For me (also an unsporting nerd who came to exercise in midlife), having less control is actually a benefit: because I've got a booked timeslot with my PT, I have to go or it's embarrasing as well as a sunk cost. If I give myself control over when I go it's too easy for it to be mañana. Pre commitment is a real thing.

I would suggest that perhaps you have not found the thing you love to do yet?

You could always dump your PT for a few weeks and spend the money on booking some taster activities to try to find something... the initial booking still forces an initial commitment to get you to try ;) even if you don't find something on the first round it's a good experience to try out different things and meet new people... I still do this occasionally even though I have a couple activities i'm pretty addicted to, one i've been doing for over 2 decades.
