Recently joined a gym & considering hiring a personal trainer. I'd appreciate any feedback... pros,cons. I walk,jog 3-4x/wk.use the elliptical & recumbent bike. I'm about 30lbs from my goal,& my body looks good except for "bat wings". Thanks for any feedback.

I just recently started working out with a personal trainer a few weeks ago. I really enjoy working out with him , I go three times a week at our local YMCA.

Yes, it is an investment, but so worth having someone around to help you workout hard each time. I am finally starting to see some real changes in my body.

I say if you can afford it, go for it. Well worth the extra $$$.

Do you workout with the trainer 3x/wk & are your sessions 30min. or 1 hr? Also did you have to sign a contract for so many sessions and what is the "going" rate for personal trainer in your area?

I love my PT, she is gently encouraging yet somehow makes me want to make the maximum effort. I have been with her for almost 2 years and I dread the day she says she is moving or something because I don't do it on my own.

It costs $675 for 6 weeks, 3 times a week. Expensive? Yes, but I am in better shape at almost 60 than I have ever been.

I do want to tell you, as hard as my PT works me, I still had to have my batwings surgically removed!!! I can live with the scars better than the bat wings.

Good luck,

Mimi

Mimi, How long are your sessions?

Usually 45 to 60 minutes including stretches....she won't leave until I can bend and flex everything that moves!!!!!

She tailors my workout to all my aches and pains but doesn't let me get away with trying to con her into an easy workout, LOL!!! She is good about chaging up the exercises to avoid my getting bored, which is so wonderful!!!
