Thinking of hiring a personal trainer...

I'm wondering what the average cost of hiring a personal trainer is... I met a trainer that said he would get back to me with a price but I have no idea what to expect. Any help would be appreciated!

I can't remember the price of mine...I could only afford 30 min. sessions and they were 50 bucks. But that was part of a package I bought at a gym.

Typically $50-$100/hr, depending on their skill level and the area they work in. Often, they throw-in a free introductory session so they can learn your goals and you their personality/methods.. and if you book 5-10 sessions at a time.. expect a slight discount, homework, and hand-outs.

Expect to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Talk to your trainer about your concerns. Expect more rapid results and less risk of injuries or quitting than going it alone.

Having a trainer design a program and walk you through the movements can be invaluable when you're starting off. A lot of exercises are harder than they look to do properly, and having someone teaching you and correcting you in the beginning is a huge help.
