How many of you actually know what you are doing when you go to a gym?
Do any of you have personal trainers?

Re: How many of you have trainers?
if i was advertising i would have stated who i was or who i work with,etc, hehe.
it was just a simple question to have people post who they work with and if they have any reviews on them,etc.

If you can share which trainer you have and at what gym, I think people who are looking to meet their goals by using a trainer would benefit from this so they can look them up.

Re: How many of you have trainers?
I know what I'm doing because I had a trainer for a boyfriend 8 years ago.
Now I just read about it on a regular basis to stay up to date.
I highly reccomend getting a trainer, however, the majority of them have no clue what they are talking about or even know when they are training you incorrectly. I have seen some trainers just waisting their clients time with how they train them.

How long did you work with your trainer to achieve your bridal goal?

Re: How many of you have trainers?
most of the trainers I hired would just count my reps!!!
I got tired of paying someone to count for me - I used to be a fitness instructor, so I know what I'm doing - my FH is very fit, so we train together,a nd I go to a kickboxing class several times a week - I just havent met any trainers who really could kick my a$$

I had a trainer for 2 yrs and I liked him but after doing it w/ him, i learned everything i needed to know. I was THINKING about getting one again but i feel like once i start, i will be like 'damn, i can do this on my own'

I joined Bally's Sports Club and they are charging like 2500 for 16 1hr sessions. I think that is too much money. I wish I had a trainer.

Re: How many of you have trainers?
and NYSC trainers are a LOT better than Bally's trainers - trust me - I worked for them both - and there was no comparison - NYSC trainers have a lot more certifications they need to fulfill other than the standard ones (ACE, AFAA, etc)

Re: How many of you have trainers?
I've worked with trainers and also could sit here and tell horror stories all day... I've tried 2 men (one at Bally's who almost killed me (I mean you aren't supposed to pass out on the machine right? he was a military guy who pushed a little too hard) one other guy at a local gym in Hauppauge) and a woman trainer at Golds in Smithtown. The woman was the best of the 3. I've never tried any of them at Synergy in F. Square where I work out now, nor would I ever.
However, I'm now studying for the ACE test and looking to become a trainer. I'm hoping the bad experiences I've had will make me a better trainer. I'm a gymnastics coach so I'm hoping that will prepare me well to train people as well.
