A defeatist attitude will not help with exercise adherence, so a quality instructor must reinforce the fact that a brief lapse in the participant's exercise program should be seen as a challenge to overcome, not a road to failure. While it is true that a series of missed classes can lead to more missed classes, it is not helpful to insist that participants are "religious" attendees, lest they fall into a period of non-compliance.
