LauraEE....the Gold's Gym where I am has several different training programs ranging in prices all over the place! They do have a deal where, if I join up with the trainers (who actually aren't a part of Gold's Gym, they are located in there but they are a separate business), I get a reduced membership fee at the gym. I think I am going to do a 12 week program that has 24 sessions with a trainer (2 per week). The trainer I met with is ex Army, *very* muscular, and very honest and straightforward...I'm thinking if anyone can help me whip my butt into shape, he can!!! Plus, when we went through all the questionaire stuff I realized just how much I don't know about working out and nutrition. My sessions are going to include times with a nutritionist, too. They have this forumla that let me know, based on the knowledge I had, that I would only have a 13% chance of reaching my goals. !!!!! Maybe it was a propaganda trick, but it got me thinking!
Thanks everyone else for your input, too. I think, even though it will stretch my purse strings for a bit, I am going to do it. It is for me, after all....and I deserve it!!! |
