Personal Trainer

Do any of you ladies have a personal trainer? I've been talking to one via the internet and he said he charges $50/hr and he says I'd have to been with him for about 50 weeks to lose 40lbs. I'm not expecting to lose weight super fast or anything, but I'm just wondering if that seems like a reasonal price? I could find an apartment for the same price, lol. Well, not really, but close! (about $400/mo)

I have one.. i pay like 200 a month for 2 days a week.. So thats 8 hours.. but he was really cheap lol.. yours sounds about average.

Has it helped with your weight loss? I'm just not motivated enough to do it by myself!

Quoting CindyDarling:“ Its helped but i hate him hes a prick..”

Why?!

Quoting ♥Fabulous♥:“ Why?!”

well he made me get on this machine that literally squashed me and i told him it was too much weight (there was more than i weigh on it) he told me stop complaining.. another time i pulled a muscle in my stomach and told me i didnt.. he was like you wouldnt had been able to walk and then argued with me when i replied that i had spent 3 days in bed and had to take vicodin for the pain.

I have one lined up for after the baby is here. 4 days a week for a month $1200.

Not to be rude but whats different than just going to the gym yourself.. or using the trainers at the gym.. they both have the same qualifications and at the gym it would be cheaper in the long run. After the time is complete with the trainer, you would have to continue working out anyway or have some kind of routine to maintain the success.Only reason, I asked is because Exercise Science/Ditetics is my major--I am going more into the field of Sports Nutritionist but just wondering what the difference would be besides just the $$$.
I have had personal private training sessions for free at the gym,outside and my apartment.. I know a lot of personal trainers that started out first at gym sand then leave for the $$$ to be personal trainer. Others take advantage of staying at the gym and earning $$ from people that do not realize.

I was thinking about that today and I'm going to see how much the trainers are at the gym. The first meeting there is free (consultation), then after that you pay per session.

I just called the gym..and their trainers charge $45/session. Each session is 45 minutes. If I got my own personal trainer I'm looking at about $50/hr.

I will have one on one time with my trainer-3 hours per day 4 times per week. at the gym I am currently a member of. Organic and Free Range meal plans included in the price. He is going to be monitoring my food intake.I am fully capable of doing all of this on my own, but I really need a structure to get off the weight. I need someone to be an asshole and piss me off and get me motivated. I already pay $3000 yearly membership to go to my gym/spa, so the trainers are discounted for members. If you do the math I am getting him for $25 per hour. Pretty decent if you ask me.

Wow, that's awesome!!

That's great that you get the meal plans. It kills me when I see people eat 700calories, etc and then complain why the weight isn't coming off like it should.You will be to your goal weight/body fast! Especially Organic/Eatting Clean is the best thing ever. The price of the trainer is great too.
My trainer is included with my gym membership I get to see my trainer 3 days a week right now--I'm not doing anything hardcore just pre-baby exercises. My goal is to be active so I don't gain more weight than needed lol.
I understand how you need someone to get "in your face" for your workouts.. I am like that too at times.. the other times I just look at my pre-baby clothes and that's all that I need to get started.

Absolutely. I generally eat all organic anyway, but I will be cutting out a lot of the "shit" I have been eating. Mainly the sweetsI have been enjoying for the duration opf this pregnancy. All I have wanted is junk. I have actually decreased in appetite already, cleaned out most of the crap that isn't organic out of my pantry. All it takes is consistency and will power. Once you reach your goal in the gym and physically you can eat most of the things you want without feeling like your on a restricted diet. Moderation is key.
I pretty much know what needs to be done, I just need the TLC of someone for a month. I'll be back in those 2's in no time. Hell, I have too many expensive clothes to getback into!
My friend has already tried to get some of my clothes that still have tags on them...I was like come on now..you know me...this ass is getting right back into those True Religion jeans!
It inspired her to hit the gym..she was like I can''t have you looking better than me right after a baby...

I agree.

With my gym membership you get a free consultation with the trainer. I met with her Tuesday and she went step-by-step with me and showed me what to do as far as strength training and cardio. All I needed was that one free session for her to show me exactly what I needed to be doing and I can take it from there.

Before I met with her I was hustling 6 miles of cardio a day, which I will still do until I shed 10-15 more lbs then I will start the toning process

She kicked my ass! I am so sore I can hardly sit & stand
I haven't use some of these muscles since high school!
