Personal Trainer or Boot Camp



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
