I used a personal trainer for twenty five sessions. I had some knowledge before I hired him but he really helped me get my work-outs to the next level. A good trainer should take your body fat percentages using a good caliper, weigh you, get resting heart rate etc. He/she should also have you complete a food diary for at least three days so they can see what you are eating and at what time. The trainer should then create a nutrition plan for you which you should follow if you expect results. The trainer should find out what your goals are and create a work out specifically designed for your goals based on all the aforementioned data. The trainer will probably start you out gradually, gauging your experience, strength and endurance. As you get stronger and more fit the trainer will add exercises and weight as needed. For me personally having a trainer was great. Before the trainer I might skip a workout because I felt tired or didn't think I had enough time. When I was paying a trainer it felt more like an appointment I couldn't miss so my workouts became regular and I never missed one. Also before I might skip an exercise or not try as hard but with the trainer I couldn't take it easy so the intensity level was always there. Having a trainer taught me a lot I didn't know and was a great investment in my fitness. Costs usually start at around twenty five dollars and hour and go up from there. My trainer charged forty five and hour but if you bought in blocks of ten he would cut a deal for a lower price. A lot of trainers will do this. If you can afford it I think its a great way to start.
