Personal trainers, who's got one?
 

Never in my life have my arms been so worked that I can barely type

you must be getting some serious gains if they can work you like that now

Yeah, there are still some muscles I can't target very well because of my shoulder injury, but on legs day.... shit I can barely stand up!


We'll see, this was only my 10th session, my goal is to look ripped by the time my Supra is done getting the widebody put on :)

nice..im getting back to the gym...got a few months to get ready for this summer. down 10 pounds this month just from eating properly.

I've been looking to hire one when I join a new gym. How much should I expect to pay?

That tells us a ton ? at the least you are trying, and not sitting on a couch eating McD junk.

At the bare minimum, I believe a person MUST perform low-level physical activity (power walking) for a minimum of two hours/day. Or, a moderate workout (cycling) for 90 minutes, or a strenuous one for 60-70 minutes/day.

But of course, more is better. I myself do not need to go to a gym, as well I'd rather outdoors ... less juice monkeys!

I pay $720 a month

:) train more and it will pay out the effort you made.

Ohhh yeah, no couch-sitting here. Well, ok, I lie. I have a problem where at least once a week I will smoke a little herb and end up eating a bag of popcorn or a couple slices of pizza with a jack and coke...

...or maybe twice a week...


:(


However, damn, I feel better than ever. When I first started 10 sessions ago my shoulder injury held me back. Shoulder is getting back it's mobility ( mountain biking accident, torn the rotator cuff ) and I've shed about 10 pounds of fat and put on a few in muscle. My bodyfat has dropped from 18% to 16% and I feel much more energetic.


I've been working more, too.


I would almost suggest to anyone in this industry to get a personal trainer, the money for the sessions might be offset by the more energy and drive to work you gain from the motivational power of a healthier body. :)

Yeah, and damn does eating a big meal after feel good. Just had a huge breakfast with chicken sausage, egg whites, hash browns, some ketchup, turkey bacon, and a fat glass of cold milk.

Thought you trained Muay Thai.

I was training in mixed martial arts for a bit and I had a fucking nasty mountain bike crash. My shoulder was tweaked and I couldn't even throw a punch anymore. It's been a long road to recovery. I'm going to go back as soon as the pain is gone. I tried working a heavy bag last week and the shoulder is still glass. :(

But wacking off on your computer is not a real workout:winkwink:

once my online personal training site is done www.healthygo.com/new i'll be takin members :) $14.95 a month to know exactly what ya need to do. a good alternative to those who have home gyms, or not enough $ for personal trainers.

I use a trainer, keeps me from getting lazy.

Although I think I'm done working shoulders after this past weekend... I dislocated my shoulder while lifting! It popped back in when I dropped the weight but daaamn!!

The trainer damn near had a heart attack too :)

try living with a trainer...:winkwink:

Huggles

Why are you paying that ridiculous amount?

Get him to show you the ropes then drop it until you see gains in a few months.

Go get yourself some hydrolean and cut the carbs really low, it works, trust me. I'm about 195-200lbs on a regular basis and am getting completely shredded, my upper body looks like a picture of a man with just muscles.

Drink a lot of green tea :)

And remember to bring your mp3 player full of pump music..

Try marrying one. :1orglaugh




edit: On second thought- DON'T! ;-}

Good luck on the road back.

I'm always looking for good sparring partners, get well.

http://www.yourselffitness.com ... all you need :)

trainers are good to use

I do. I was dumb enough to marry the fucker, too. *sigh*

yeah mine just moved out thank gawd but talk about some serious addictions that I have now..I'm obsessed with my abs now!:thumbsup

I get the funny feeling that when he cycles back to weight loss, I'm in for hell.

:helpme

Mainly because once you pay you absolutely HAVE to make it to your work out. It's motivation not to "lose" the money. I mean, I like to work out, but having paid ahead for it always guarantees even on my off days I will still work out. :)

Let's see some pics if you guys think you're decked already.

I'm not decked already, why do you think I'm going to a personal trainer?


I look like Homer with less hair and a bigger gut.

save your money, you can figure out all the stuff the personal trainer knows on www.bodybuilding.com as long as your self motivated and you dont need someone to tell you what to do

That's the thing.

$720 will keep you at the gym. Might be a small price to pay in the long run (medical bills and overall health).

What gym in Vancouver?

Is it one of those upscale ones downtown in like the west end or something?

Ahahahahaha... no.



I live in the boonies of White Rock and I train in the guy's basement. It has all the equipment I need, my own music, very short drive, and no lineup for used sweaty equipment. :)

I need to lose some fat, and gain some muscles.. My goal is to be in shape again before Vegas.. 4 weeks to go, wish me luck :)

if you guys need help settin up a diet work out schedule hit me up, theres nothing more i hate than seein idiots at the gym who have no clue what they are doing

are you serious? Hitting you up right now :thumbsup

White Rock?

Word up son, I live there (on the beach) :Graucho

I had one for awhile, but it was too hard for me to follow all the rules he set for me.

:1orglaugh

Bigwilly, thanks a lot!

You rock :thumbsup
