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?

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.

I had meniscus repair/cleanup about a year ago. Everything feels fine but I still don't "trust" it if that makes sense. Any good stretches/strength things you would recommend?

Stretching is pretty over-rated. Do a dynamic warmup instead to get loose and then lift weights with very slow and controlled form for your knee. The variety of exercises are up to you and your prior lifting experience.
