Would you pay 75 a session for a PT?

Just wondering if anyone would pay 75 an hour for a Personal Trainer. I know a guy who promises to give me results but for a huge check...I went thru one workout for free with him and I couldnt even lift my arms after! I've been sore for 3 days! hahah. Would anyone?

you can find cheaper.That sounds way too expensive

**projecthatch92** · 09-08-2009, 08:51 PM

Agreed. Look around for some better deals

Don't burn your money bro, unless you've got enough to burn lol. Do some research around your area first and make sure you've got the best bang for your buck.

Just because your sore for 3 days doesnt necessarily mean your being trained correctly. I see so many trainers at my gym that I wouldnt trust to train my cats. Not saying this might be your case. Personal trainers arent my cup of tea. I could probably teach most of the ones Ive seen a few things. I know the pros use them and there are good ones out there, but my advice is spend that money on food/protein and come here for guidance on training.

I remember doing Billy-whats-his-name's DVD workout and my arms were sore for a few days, but it's nothing I'd pay money for, and it certainly didn't make me huge.

Just use the advice here on the forum for free and save the $75.

totally. Just cuase your sore dont mean ****. Any body who had someone who would do whatever they told them could make someones arms sore. I would say its even a bad thing if he over worked you that much. Its a set back being to sore to do other things properly. Some people do need guidance if you feel you need that and have seen him training others and they seems to go back to him and you think he knows his **** and if you have money to burn why not. How long is this session for by the way?

Damn I need to get on the fast track to becoming a P.T.

I only make 30k a year that P.T. sounds like he is making 75K

It's great for something extra on the side along with your full time job.

tigeraj2 · 09-08-2009, 10:59 PM

like that one guy said... invest your 75 dollars in food

**mabo** · 09-08-2009, 11:21 PM

Not a chance I would pay that for a session.

But I wouldn't pay for a PT at all.

I'd pay for a coach to learn the olympic lifts, that's about it.

unless hes going to turn me into like superman, i wouldn't do it.

Unless you have **** loads of money and need to get in shape quickly I can't see how you can justify paying that much.
Get yourself a training partner if you need the motivation.

You could pay me $60 and I'll make your arms sore for 3 days.

**JakeVendetta** · 09-09-2009, 02:14 PM

75$'s for a few sessions that would teach you things you would use for a lifetime would be worth it (form on the important lifts, periodization methods, progression methods, etc), but not to just feel sore. Thats what some of these guys do they put you through some random hellish workouts to make you think they are working because you feel them for a few days, but its BS that you will just keep paying for until you learn your lesson (and not a lesson thats going to make you huge and strong either).
