Personal Trainer?

[Inga1018 11]

Ask for help. Hopefully you don't have to purchase training sessions just to find out how to correctly use the weights and equipment. I'm going back to la fitness in a couple of months and will do just that. I'm all in this time. I'm done being embarrassed.

My bad. Didn't realize this was a male forum. Good luck.

My gym was having a sale on personal training sessions and I purchased 20 of them. I got sleeved April 25th and starting the PT sessions on June 18th with the plan to go 2x a week. I was very open with the trainer about my surgery and goals. He said hes had many clients in the past who were bariatric patients, knowing that helped put my mind at ease. Of course my goal is to lose weight and see the scale numbers go down but my real focus is getting healthier and fit.

Been using a personal trainer 3x week for about a month. Definitely better than I have ever done in the gym since I know I am doing the excercises correctly and have a plan mapped out for me versus just going on my own and doing whatever I feel like that day. Also I now go to every session since I'm paying for it! My advice is to do it if you can swing the cost, an the small groups mentioned above are great since the trainer still does (or should) do a individual workout plan for each member of the group.

I currently have a membership at Planet Fitness. I haven't found the staff helpful in terms of training. The other gym near me is an LA Fitness but that is much more than the Planet Fitness. They have the same machines and the weight weighs the same so no sense paying more. Haven't found many local gyms that offer personal training. I'll try doing it myself for a few weeks and see if I get results. I'm thinking twice a week. My shoulders and arms are really scrawny. The exercises I'm thinking of are chest press, shoulder press, seated cable row, leg press, leg curl, and calf extensions.
