Question 1

what are the benefits to hiring an in-home personal trainer?

Accepted Answer

Convenience: The main benefit is convenience of not having to go anywhere. Unless your home gym is totally lavish, typically the better equipment and more variety is available at a gym. The environment of the gym might be more conducive since everyone is working out. However, if you value privacy then in-home is better. You must also weigh the security of having a trainer in your home.

Question 2

what's a personal trainer fee?

Accepted Answer

Depends.......: Depends on the trainer, the facility and the part of the country in which you live.  I have seen training as low as $20 per hour and as high as $300 per hour - and i'm sure the range is even larger than that.  
The key is to get what you need and don't spend more than you can afford.
A good pair of shoes and a brisk 22 min walk every day is free (after you buy the shoes).

Question 5

what amount is a personal trainer every month ?

Accepted Answer

I assume : There are different prices depending on the amount of time you spend with them. The best way to fond out is call your local gyms in your area and ask for a quote.

Question 6

would youconsider a personal trainer who smokes?

Accepted Answer

I Would Not: We can't expect those who guide us to be perfect themselves. However, it is reasonable to expect personal trainers to place a high priority on health. If a trainer smokes, i would have difficulty listening to their advice in other health-related areas.

Question 7

why must i have a personal trainer if i can buy a dvd?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to: Personal trainers are for those who want personalized help with their fitness routine.  They are not for everyone, most definitely.

Question 8

what information do i tell a personal trainer about myself?

Accepted Answer

As much as you want.: They will ask you some questions - and you may choose to not answer them if it makes you uncomfortable in any way.  Tell your trainer your goals, your past success' and failures, your prior injuries (if any), and your "barriers" which are the things that seem to get between you and great fitness.  That will help the trainer help you.  The rest you can 'play be ear'!

Question 9

do you think i should get a personal trainer to loss weight?

Accepted Answer

Expensive, but...: It makes exercise expensive, but the investment helps keep you going.  A trainer can also help you avoid injury, while pushing you to full effort!  however, the mouth is the strongest muscle going, so watch what goes in. Proper nutrition is more important, but exercise is second!

Question 10

where do you go if you wanna be a certified personal trainer?

Accepted Answer

Local Colleges: You can probably go online and check with local community colleges in your area to see if they have such a program to fit your needs. Good luck to you.
