I would like to hire a Personal Trainer that would come to my house and design a program for me based on the equipment I have. I would also want them to come over 2 - 3 times a week to oversee my workouts.

Does anyone know where I should start to research this? How much should I expect to pay for house calls?

Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.

You should, like, go to your local gym and ask them. They most definately have a trainer on staff, and most of the would be DYING for a little side work.

I used to be a trainer (looong loong ago, in another life) and I'd charge about $75 for the consultation, then about $30-$40 per hour/session afterwards.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Mya. I appreciate the info.

I work with a personal trainer, she was a the fitness center then went on her own. advertised in local paper. I pay $120 month for 2 days per week 1 hr a day. she has her own facility and its just me and her so I go to her. she would come to my house for the same cost but I dont have all the stuff, plus I like "going"

I do live in a small community so the cost is less than larger cities. but it is great and I have seen so much mmore results than at the gym on my own.

the gym instuctor might know someone too>

good luck!

Thanks, Brenda. There is a YMCA nearby and they employ trainers so maybe I'll strike up a conversation with one of them.

109 pounds! Good for you. What an inspiration you are. Thanks.

Hi Mya,

I have been reading your other posts about being 117 pounds and wanting to be 97 so you can be a model. Although everyone is surely welcome on here...I am not sure you really should be paying 8,500 to be banded.. after you are banded you know that you can still eat right? It is NOT going to stop you from eating..and also..you are 18...how could you of been a personal trainer...when you were 12? People were paying a teenager with no college education $75 dollars for a consult? I am having a really hard time with this and most of the other things you say. Maybe you should try to eat lettuce and cucumbers for a while and see if you can lose that 20 pounds that you seem to think you need a lap band for. Gastric bypass might be a better solution than the lap band. Anyways, best of luck to you in your fantasy world....:straight
