    A friend who id a trainer told me that their commission is 20-30% when they sell you anything, be it sessions or masage.
    Everyone else already pointed out that you don't need to worry about sagging skin with your weight and goals, and also that massage wouldn't have helped anyways.
    I suggest you take everything he says with a grain of salt and do your research.
    Also, isometric workouts have helped me with the mild sagging i had.
    Good luck.

    Hi
    I have reduced 3 kgs in past 45 days. My height is 5ft nd currently i weigh 57kgs. Age 31 years. Blessed with baby girl 1 and half year back.

    My gym trainer asked me to take body masaages under there weight reduction program to reduce skin sagging that will cause by weight loss..

    According to him without massages weight loss is of no use. You will not look good after sagging.
    And its a must component that's need to be added if i want to achieve my goal to reduce mre 8 kgs in 6months.

    he says how much effort i put in workouts and dietin..without massage everthing is waste.
    its costing 1000rs per massage and fr him i will need almost 30 massages.

    Shall i go fr it or not...jst want to have some advises bfre spending this much money..
    Your gym trainer is obviously either trying to take advantage of you or is unknowledgeable in how physiology works. No massage doesn't reduce skin sagging.

    Ya, a chain like Massage Envy are probably cheaper than massage at your gym. Also check Groupon - I've gotten some fantastic deals for massage there. The facility was also willing to give me the Groupon price after the deal ended.

    Groupon yes, Massage Envy NO NO NO. I say this as a member - their rates for non-members are total ripoffs to discourage members from un-joining.

    But Groupon for sure. And massage for sure, I couldn't live without it.
