Oh, I meant to ask...did you end up getting a trainer. Sorry, if you've posted it else where. Lisa's last blog post..Laying A Healthy Foundation For Weight Loss Success

I was JUST thinking about this. I am put off by the money...but I also know that it's an investment. I think my gym has free trainers - but I don't see them being REAL trainers. lol. Lisa's last blog post..Laying A Healthy Foundation For Weight Loss Success

I agree with you completely. This is a really tough time of the year. There is lots of shopping, lack of sleep and too many excuses not to workout and to eat out instead of making a wise decision in front of your own fridge.

I look forward to seeing how it goes. I know that my wife had a personal trainer a few years ago and made great progress but gave it up when our daughter was born. Still I think it would be a great investment for her as well.

Thanks Nap Warden! Let me know when you are in town and we’ll workout together!

Zandria, you are right–the cost is a huge turn off for most people. That is great that you have a fitness buddy to keep you on track and motivated. stick with it! I’ll let you know when I find the right trainer.

That it so great, Lisa! Good for you. I know that the high cost of hiring a personal training is a factor that puts many people off. I’m lucky enough to know someone who used to be a personal trainer, who goes to the gym with me on a regular basis (and has taught me what I’ve learned about strength training in these past 4-5 months that I’ve been on a regular workout program).

My personal training buddy is free (but this also means I have to work around their schedule, so, you know…pros and cons), but it has definitely shown me how much motivation another person can provide, especially when they challenge you to go longer/harder than you would have if it was just you. I look forward to hearing about your experience.
