Have you ever used a personal trainer?
Long story short, my wife and I are both starting a new journey w/ fitness and food. We're seeing a dietician soon to get some help with the food part, but we've also been considering getting a personal trainer (either one for both of us or separate - either option is on the table).
Does anyone here have experience with one? What are some good questions to ask to make sure I get the "right" one? Any tips to set us up for success in this process? |

Why pay for all that when you have all the expertise right, Here!

I talked with/worked with one a little bit at the gym. Planet fitness has one available for all members. 10 bucks a month gets you gym access and a trainer to help guide you out when starting. Even if you want a different gym, 10 bucks a month to have access to a trainer is cheap.

Billay gave me free training.
Kind of a weird experience though. I wore more leather masks and fuzzy handcuffs than any other workout I’ve ever had. The camera in the corner of the room was a little odd. I assume he was making demo videos for other clients. |

At the very least they work to help you stay on track. I've seen people have improved results by switching to a personal trainer. It's like hiring one makes you feel more required to stick to your workouts and diet. A combination of the trainer holding you more accountable, and your wallet holding you more accountable.
Anything you can do to help you get into "workout mode" and stay there. |

I used to BE a personal trainer. Worth the money to learn what you are doing and be held accountable for showing up. After you get a routine and start making yourself accountable, you won't need a trainer.
Health is your biggest asset. If you need to pay someone to get started, you're worth the investment. |

If you look up “knee rehab pdf” you should get some good information. You probably need to go to physical therapy.

My wife was a personal trainer when we met. I used her to make 2 children. Does that count?

Why would I use a personal trainer when i have glutes like these? I think it would just embarass the man.
