    Trainers are great if you find the right one. I have used trainers and got good results with them. They can help you with diet and show you the proper way to use the equipment. Try it out! What have you got to lose!

    depends on the trainer. in general i love the idea of personal trainers but there are some really awful ones out there.
    one thing i see A LOT in every gym i've belonged to is a personal trainer giving the same dumb *kitten* routine to everyone. it's like yeah that 60 pound overweight 20 year old woman has the same workout needs as that 40 year old guy who's a marathoner.

    what i usually do is stalk the trainers at the gym to watch what they do and if it looks like they are just giving people gym fit type workout then i wouldnt use them. the best trainers i've had have been former athletes who already had a background in fitness and exercise before getting a PT degree
