Affordable personal training



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any advice on how to get an affordable personal trainer? I'm just broke enough where that's not really in the budget but I want someone to help me develop my muscle groups so badly. Are there any special online websites or gyms you know of?

I'm moving to Texas in a month so I'm thinking of starting there.

Someone posted a little while back about a virtual trainer. I think they said it was like a dollar a day.

I would watch some youtube videos designed for plus size people. They tend to be gentler and take into account how bigger bodies move. You could also do a leslie sansone walking video (I'm sure you can find that on YouTube as well). You will not find a personal trainer for low cost. Where I live it's about $90-$100 per appointment.

I'm really looking for in person opportunities with weight machines. I am pretty decent with my cardio but have no clue what to do when it comes to weight training. I feel like it'll be beneficial for my metabolism and loose skin. (My arms and legs already look atrocious can't wait for maintenence so I can get everything sliced off lol) I guess I could look up weight training videos and bring them to the gym!

for in person you will need to either advertise on Facebook and tell your story and see what people would charge. or go to your local gym and see about personal trainers they offer or have numbers for.

If you live in a larger town you could take advantage of the free trial and lower cost trainer sessions at each gym. Eventually you will know what to do on your own.

Many people want to get in shape and build muscle, but the cost of a personal trainer can be a real bummer. Online private trainer courses can be a great option if you're on a tight budget. However, I'm sure you won't be able to get in perfect physical shape on your own. I work as a trainer, and I can tell you that it is a demanding job. To have some knowledge about workout design and injury prevention, I took special courses at creatept.com. So do not be afraid to buy a subscription to the gym to a good trainer because your health depends on it. I wish you good luck on your fitness journey!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
