    Mine is awesome. He has helped me lose 87 lbs and when I went to him in march and told him I wanted to start lifting more....he couldn't have been happier lol. (that's his strength haha) we worked out every other day for about 6 mo. Due to conflicting schedules now we work out together very rarely. But I can do it without him now. That's why makes a good trainer. Kinda like a teacher, if you can only do the work while your in the class with them, does that really teach you anything? Lol. He was the first person I sent the message when I finally got under 200 this week. When he started working out with me I weighed 288 lbs, couldn't run for a full minute, couldn't bench the bar.....it was said....now I can run for 45 mins non stop, and can bench the bar with 45's and 25's on each side :)

    I would say that PT can be very helpful for some but a waste of time for others. I personally have seen some great results. I was / am an endurance athlete . I read all of the books, magazines, tips from others ect. It was not until finally that I got hooked up with a couple of PT's and they were able to guide me through a program that I was able to see noticeable size. Everyone is different so I always give the opinion to go ahead and get a some sessions (and more then just a few...PT's need more then that to really do any good. Took me 60 sessions @ $50 per but it was worth it in my opinion) and see what they can do for you. My sessions were a life long investment because now I just carry over their teachings to do my own work on the gym floor.

    And to also add they will teach proper technique on the different lifts. Cuz lets face it.....all of us have seen poor technique esp from the guys. That guy who is trying to military press that 185 but is leaned back so much in the rack / seat that he might as well be doing inclined bench press.
