I'm fortunate enough to have a nephew who is a certified personal trainer and a professional bodybuilder

I'm not trying to be a shill for Planet Fitness, but for anyone on a very limited budget their membership only runs around 10 dollars a month, and they have free trainers on staff. They do training in small groups... but most of the trainers seem to be quite willing to help out with questions between classes. I imagine having a personal trainer can't be beat, but there are alternatives if you are just starting out and need some guidance.

I love my personal trainer. We meet every other week. She writes the workout programs for me and is always e-mailing me with nutritional tips, articles, etc. She has even gone running and biking with me outside of our scheduled times. I canceled my cable tv provider and that pays for my trainer.
I should also add that my trainer and I are always trying to make each other laugh in between sets. We have a great professional relationship. I also clean my gym once a week for an hour at a time, in return I get a free membership and free tanning.
