But of course, as anyone who's ever tried can attest, that's way easier said than done. Getting the motivation to haul our hasn't-seen-a-bikini-since-high-school butt to the gym and saying "no thanks, I've had enough" to the chocolate Bundt cake crying our name from the kitchen at 11 p.m. is hard. Really hard. Almost as hard as our fantasy abs.
Skip to see 9 secrets your fitness trainer doesn't want you to know.
Sometimes, we just can't do it by ourselves. We like our excuses too much -- we made them up after all. Which is why it can often be extremely helpful to buckle down and hire a fitness trainer. Someone to motivate you, help you stick to your goals, and most importantly, help you navigate the gym and all that equipment so that you get the most out of your workout.
But just like anyone trying to make a buck off your self-improvement, there are bound to be some things they don't mention to you in order to get your business. And with price tags ranging anywhere from 50 to 200 bucks a training session, your business is worth fighting for. So if you are spending the dough on a fitness trainer, make sure you're putting your muscle (however weak) behind that money. Learn the secrets your trainer would rather you not know from fitness and lifestyle consultant Ashley Borden, because your brain is a muscle too you know.

Personal trainers are not just there to guide you, most of the time people need the push and motivation from a trainer to accomplish results. Everyone has their own opinions and what makes them more comfortable when going to the gym and thats ok. Just dont think trainers are just a waste of money and time, a good trainer will push you more then you would do on your own and help you succeed in what you want from this. and again to each there own.

I think trainers are good to learn how to work out more effectively, but after that I would just go on my own to save money.

Anyone didn't know, her/himself haven't worked it out gyms & gyms instructors before reading this story need to go take a course to become gym instructor as that's the only thing they could do in life. Big loosers of the society. Why bother going to the gym when you could jog in fresh air, exercise infront of your tv, the music you like. Gyms are just a gimmick to suck money out of people plus the dirt. Gyms instructors are the strippers of the new era, strippers in the gym instead of night club. They're loosers of the society, their brain don't work, they have one thing, their body; they try to make money out of their. They sell their body. The worst one is the Fitness First; they're the dodgiest gym out of all. Lots of complaints to consumer affairs. I have been to Fitness First only couple of times, paid for 1 year. It was a crowded house. Ohh! If you're looking to pick up a date, a meat head, then this is the place to go.

My neighbor does training and I only paid eighteen dollars an hour and he was so much better than the so called trainers in many gyms. I have never looked as good as when i work out with him.

I've never had a personal trainer, but good to know, I suppose. I'm definitely a fan of working out on my own.

A little willpower goes a long way, you don't have to have a trainer have a friend push you to be better it you can't do it yourself. Its FREE!
