Personal training?
I just rejoined a new gym yesterday, and the staff talked to me briefly about personal training, and I'm wondering if it would be of any benefit to me. I know I have issues with sticking to an exercise plan; maybe it would be worth it to me to have a trainer to make sure I stick? I don't know.
Have any of you tried it? What have your experiences been like? |
If the PT is included in your gym membership or if you can afford one, by all means take advantage of their knowledge! :yes:

I just met with a personal trainer on Monday. I have to say I was floored at the costs. I am looking for someone to show me the ropes and just give me a basic understanding on HOW to use the gym properly. Lay out a simple routine that I can do on my own, comfortably. I want to be able to use free weights with confidence! I told them this before we even got started, but they still attemted to convince me that I should be signing up for a 9 month program for the "low low price" of $180 bi-weekly. Mind you this is a fancy gym in Saskatchewan, I have no idea what kind of rates are avail in your area!
Finally they did tell me about an intro program that they offer, which is a 3-6 weeks for 170-280 bucks. Still a large chunk of change for only a few days worth of learning. But I am still considering it. If I had oodles of money to burn, I would totally hire a trainer long term. But I don't so I will have to keep myself in check I guess :) Good luck! |
I would if I could afford to, just to have peace of mind in what I was doing.

I suggest having a session. Often they will do a free half hour - hour session with you to see if it was you are looking for. I did this yesterday. It totally kicked my @ss, but was a blast. She was motivating and not mean (I don't need a Jillian ;)) I ended up signing up for 12 1/2 hour sessions, once a week. She understood my financial concerns and "let me" pay by the session (26 bucks, totally do-able)
We'll meet Mondays, and she said that she will create 12 different routines for me, that I can continue doing through the week, and then forever and ever on my own! I'm looking forward to it |
