I used a personal trainer for 3 years and I can't say I'd really recommend it. Definitely had it's advantages, but too many disadvantages to be worth the cost.
High turnover - I had about six different trainers during that time.
They all picked some random exercises for me to do whereas I'd rather have a well thought out schedule.
They are all flakey, lots of appointments cancelled last minute for "family emergencies."
Two asked me out on dates. I guess this would be an advantage for some, but I was interested in getting fit, not picking up men.
One was kinda mean to me.
I found going to yoga classes MUCH more useful.
- davidivadavid 4y agoSounds like you had bad trainers. Definitely wouldn't recommend that. Finding a good one on the other hand is easily one of the best investments you can make.
- loevborg 4y agoYes and a good, educated trainer might be more expensive than you might think (or feel comfortable with initially).
- prirun 4y agoI'm using a trainer at a private gym. He owns the gym. Way different I think from going to a large commercial gym where they hire kids off the street, give them a few classes, and call them personal trainers.
