House Calls Personal Trainer



Recommended Posts

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.

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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
