Spending $1k/mo on personal training is _not_ extravagant? I realise I must be living a much poorer life than I thought...

  ClassPass is $125/mo. Twice a week personal training is 8 sessions a month. That's $875 per month. Divided by 8 it is slightly less $110 per hour. A good personal trainer can easily charge $110 per hour, including facilities charges. Spending money on personal trainers allows you and your wife not to look like tubs of lard by mid thirties which in turns solves a boat load of very expensive problems in your forties and fifties. It is difficult to "change the world" with high blood pressure and diabetes.

    I don't think he was asking for a breakdown of what goes into the cost - I think the point is that most reasonable people would conclude that $1,000+/month spent on personal training very much qualifies as extravagant spending.

      Most of people, especially in the tech world are clueless, which is why the US is obese.

        Am I to understand continental Europeans, for example, are in much better shape than Americans because they employ more personal trainers?

    C'mon. I agree a gym membership is required, but a 1k/month personal trainer is certainly not.
