Personal Trainer

I never thought that I would say these words but I just got home from the healthclub and I scheduled 18 sessions with a personal trainer I got two free sessions and paid for 16. It is far from cheap but this way I know that I am doing the best workout for me. I was upfront with the man right away about my surgery and he claims he has worked with one or two WLS patients. I hope this works out, I need to get in better shape and I am hoping it may help avoid some plastics in the future!! Nancy

Hi Nancy, I just wanted to say that I had my surgery on the same day as you, and I have paid for 36 sessions with a trainer that started about 2 weeks ago. Like you said, its far from cheap, but, I will say it is the BEST thing I could have done for myself. It has made all the difference in my attitude and commitment about going to the gym and doing the excercise that I know I need. I thought of it as a Christmas present to myself. Trust me, we have both done the right thing! Keep up the great work! Robert

Robert - I do not think that I have ever seen your posts on this sight before so I am going to say Welcome Aboard If you have been here and I have just not seen your posts, I apologize. I guess than I can say, MERRY CHRISTMAS to both of us I have paid for 16 and then get two free. I agreed to that big of a commitment and said I would take each month after that as it comes. I am very proud of you, sounds like you are off to a great start Nancy

Nancy, WOW! What a great gift to yourself! That's what I need... someone to answer to. Keep us posted on how it works out. I can't afford a gym right now, so I'm just walking and doing the Cambell Soup workout on my arms. Sue G works close to my house, so hopefully, once it cools off a bit around these parts, we will hit the public walking trail soon! Anyway.... glad you were able to do it! Keep up the GREAT work! HUGS Kimberly

You know I had my fourth session today and plopped down money for 12 more (That really is my limit financially right now-- still paying for the surgery!!) It has made a huge difference. Caution to you-- if you don't click with the trainer, get another one! I have tried them in the past, and they made me so sore I could not sit down on the toilet. I just had to aim and collapse on it and hope I landed appropriately! So I never went back to them. This time I saw two trainers and talked with them before I picked one. This trainer I have now (Dan the man )has been wonderful! He started me off VERY slow and I was sore, but not dying the next day. He's gradually increased what we do each time.
