I just told my trainer I do not wish to continue the training anymore after X sessions. This gave him some time to adjust his schedule out of common courtesy. Gave him a financial difficulty reason and that was that. I thanked him for his expertise and help in getting where I am and there was no hard feelings.

No doubt it would be a lot harder seeing as he has been your biggest line of motivation for getting to where you are today and you feel somewhat obligated. But at the same time, when enough is enough, you just have to say it and leave it there. He'll understand that it isn't personal if he is professional about it.
