'I'm paying for your time, and I would appreciate it if your focus was on me during our sessions.'
It's on her to manage her schedule so that she has time to exercise if that is important to her.
You have every right to say something if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Take care,

I agree with all of this.
The one way I feel it would be OK is if, say, you, as the client, MountainDewed, said you were having trouble getting motivated to exercise, say. And your T offered to exercise with you. So that it would be about you. This sounds like it's about her.
