    I've had a personal trainer for well over a year now. It is very much worth it to me because she pushes me to do things that I know I wouldn't do on my own. I train with her 2 days a week for 30-minute sessions, and I pay $240 per month. I have a lower rate because I only get training for weightlifting. I do most of my fitness-related stuff (cardio, some strength training, and meal planning) all on my own, so I think $300 a month is VERY reasonable for all the extras the trainer OP mentioned offers.

    I was hesitant about a personal trainer when I started 2 years ago, very overweight. Reasons I’ve stayed and love it:

    I like the 1:1 teaching and accountability.
    She pushes me further than I would push myself
    She keeps track of what I can and can’t do and helps me grow even 5 seconds at a time
    She understands my body and what it can do
    I get a personalized plan and just have to compare myself to me, not everyone else at the gym.

    Highly recommend whatever you can swing.
