What is Personal Training?  

Personal Training in the gym, is a person who assess and guide you in your work out to be more effective.

In my view, personal trainers are really expensive. I was wonder I was paying the gym for a month and why is it their services is not included? They will only assist you for the first 3 session in Gold Gym's then after that you all by yourself. If you are willing to pay them then you can have them. As your mentor, as your assessor and friend sometimes.

I don't think that it is necessary to have a personal trainer to be able to grow in your personal fitness. I know that I can't afford to have a personal trainer, but I've been lucky to find a class at one of the local churches that has a trainer leading the class and it is a small group so I feel like I am getting the same benefit by being in that class. It helps to have someone that is helping to push us further than we would ordinarily go, but I really don't think that it is necessary.

Well it is not necessary to get a personal trainer. I am a personal trainer and some people just like the status of having one. Maybe if someone has been ill or has never worked out before a personal trainer is ok for just general fitness for a couple of sessions but some clients want to meet twice a month for an hour. I do have a couple of clients that have me train them when they are getting ready or a competition but there is enough information in fitness magazines and on the internet for someone just wanting to do general fitness exercises.
