Shall I leave my personal trainer?

If it were me, I would talk to him about it first. You've been with him for 7 months and probably built up a good relationship. Explain how your dissatisfied with the service he is providing, and see if he improves. If not, then I would leave and find a different trainer.

Some people do everything to get rid of it with no success. Have you thought about a personal trainer?

It really depends on what you want.  I definitely feel that there is room for more personal trainers.  There was a recent article talking about how there are some bullshit ass certifications out there that people can get and do all the work at home.  If you think I'm a mad man there's reason for it.\n\nThis is a great field to be in. If you truly care about people and want to help them smile again, this business, this field can do just that.  But are you passionate about it?  Are you willing to do research and learn all that needs to be learned to get there.\n\nI definitely feel it's worth getting a certification and then working at a health club to get some experience and then moving on from there.  You can feel fee to drop me a note and I'll tell you more about it.  I like helping up and coming trainers achieve success.\n\nYou can contact me at http://www.4evertoned.com/contact.html

I'd stick around a little while and feel it out.  I'm in a similar situation where I would much rather be doing another aspect of my job (which I'm good at doing and like much more), but there's not many people who are good at another aspect so I get stuck on it continually.  The management knows that I'm not happy there, so they're trying to find someone else (since they know I'll probably leave if they don't).\n\nIf it seems like with the next project he's getting dibs over you, then maybe it's time to approach your employer and ask why.  Who knows, they might training him because they have a bigger and better project for you in the works.

There already are such agencies around. They provide personal trainers who meet you at your gym, your home or your office but there is room for more such agencies so if you're thinking of setting one up, go for it. The key thing to work on is getting enough trainers and getting a large enough client base.

Congratulations on that 26 pound loss!!!  You are at a plateau.  The only way to break the plateau is to further alter your diet and change your workout.  You have to workout even harder than before.  If that doesn't work for you then I would suggest seeing the Dr.  I'm in the same boat right now.  Just have to decide if I really WANT to know what is wrong with me.  My personal trainer told me that there isn't anything more he can do for me and see the doctor for a full physical workup.  I fired him.

The best thing to do to save money is pair up with someone looking for the same result (so that you can train the same).  If a trainer is $60/hr and you pair up he/she will usually work for about $35/person.  A little more than half, 2 people is a little more work.  I have worked as a trainer and own a training studio, I haved lived east and west coast.  Tell me what general area you are looking in, and I can give you somewhere to look.

Ask yourself the following questions:\n\n- Think of why a customer would want to hire you instead of them going to the gym? Convenience may be the best reason, but what about equipment?\n\n- What will the client get from signing up with your classes? What is the VALUE or that extra something that they can get from you and not from a typical gym?\n\n- Will you be the trainer who trains everybody (housewives, CEO, etc.) or will you specialize in one niche?\n\n- What will your training focus be? Will you be training Pilates, or doing kickboxing?\n\n- What will your hours be? Are you willing to train someone at 6 am, or another at 10 pm? Or will you stick to a conventional 9-5 schedule?\n\n- What is your experience? How well known are you in the field of fitness in your area? It is easier to get clients if gym-loving customers already know you as one of the best gym instructors in town\n\nIf your market is big, you define your business carefully, pick your USP Unique Selling Proposition, and take good care of clients, I think you stand a great chance at succeeding.\n\nFor some great tips on customer service, see the article 'Personal Training: 6 Secrets of Award Winning Customer Service' at the following URL: http://www.completepersonaltrainingbusiness.com/article2.html

Looks effective but you have got to ask youself. How long do you think it will be before you get sick of that expensive peice of equipment before you sell it. Then how many years at your local gym would that have gotten you.

My advice: \n\nGet a reputable certification.\nGet liability insurance.\nChoose what route to go - club trainer, in-home trainer, open a studio, etc.\nChoose a specialty or niche.\nStudy the business / marketing side of the personal training industry.\n\nIf you want more information, check out http://www.fitnessconsultinggr... There are dozens of free articles there about how to be a successful trainer.\n\nGood luck,\n\nPat

you can watch other people at the gym to see how they use the equipment. Or, most gyms offer a free one time training session. The gym that you are working out in doesn't want you to hurt your self and if you use the machines/equipment improperly that is exactly what you will end up doing. I would talk to the manager at the gym and tell him/her the situation. They should be able to just get you started at least. Do you have any friends that can show you? It is intimidating to use the machines when you are first starting to work out, but you just have to get in their and try it out.  Once you start and get into a routine you will feel good! GOOD LUCK!
