Personal Trainer or Boot Camp

[antsmith101 0]

Ok.... I guess I got the the workout bug now. So I was checking on internet for pricing of personal trainer and then came across boot camp. Now it makes me wonder if anyone has tried both or prefer one over another for a particular reason...

For me im looking at cost factor and then what I will get out of that program.

So...

Personal Traniner is about 60$ a session or more?? but you get one on one help in working out and modifying diet and plans to your body type. and alot more stuff

Boot Camp is about 260-300$ (in my area) for 8week unlimited weekday training. Workout in groups but only so-so attention from trainer. diet person available... and other benefits

I want to try one of these options but kinda unsure which will be the best for me..... :confused2:

What experience you had and prefer and improvement?

I got a trainer 2 weeks ago - love him - it's worth the $$$. Boot camp here is like 6 a.m. can't work it into my schedule - with the trainer you are learning the machines and proper form - I plan on using him for 2 or 3 months for my twice a week sessions and then move to once a week.

I would go with the trainer. I just bought some sessions. I've used a trainer before too. I think bootcamp is great if you just need a little push to get started. If you really want to get a good workout routine designed just for you then I suggest a trainer. I believe it is worth the money and the pain. haha I was very sore after the first workout but it will get much better with time. My poor body was in shock.

Just hired a trainer yesterday. I have used him in the past. I am going to go 3 times a week for 2 months, and during that time he is going to help me establish an exercise regimen for me. I may see him every other week after that just to shake things up. I would definately go witht the trainer.

So with personal trainer do you guys/gals see him/her one day and then workout week self then see them next week or everyday? cause it sounds like it going to be expensive....

I see my trainer 3 times a week. I pay $100 a month. He is family so I get a REALLY good deal.

Eventually I plan to only see him every week or every other week just to keep me on track.

I meet with my trainer twice a week and then do cardio twice a week. I would recommend starting out twice a week and then you can cut back to once a week.

If you can find it, try to find a trainer that offers both. I had a trainer where I went to her bootcamp 3 days/week for an hour then I attended a 1.5 hour training session on the weekend.

It helped me keep the costs affordable, but she also was aware of all the muscle groups i had worked on during the week to keep things balanced.

This is what I am doing too - My trainer $60 once a week - $100 for twice a week - $100 for the whole month :thumbup: ya thats a steal - that's what 2 sessions cost me:tongue: But heck I am worth $400 a month...

Some trainers also do semi private sessions. Splitting that money among 2 or three other people is a GREAT savings and you really do get the attention you are paying for.

It is a steal, but you are right, it is worth whatever the cost.

I had a trainer for a while and intend to start up again after my surgery. I absolutely loved it. It is worth the money. I always felt so strong after the workout...
