After taking 4 intro personal training sessions at my gym, I decided to sign up for a bigger package. Now, I'm wondering if I acted too soon. I like my trainer very much, but find the gym to be somewhat dirty and frequently find machines in need of servicing or replacement. (Don't get me started on the condition of the mats!). There are seldom a matching pair of hand weights available. It's difficult to justify the $55/session with these conditions.
It's a mixed gender facility. Perhaps an all-women gym would have been a better choice? When I first took the tour, I hadn't observed these things. I've got another 14 sessions with my trainer. After that, I'm thinking of finding another gym - if not before
I'm also concerned that I may have started weight training too early and would have been better off investing more time in core exercises on my own.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
