I'm considering getting a personal trainer to help motivate me and push me in the gym. I go to the gym on my own. When I first started out, I had a lot of motivation. I would go to the gym several times a week and I enjoyed seeing changes in my body. These days, going to the gym feels like a chore. I have stresses in my life which are getting in the way of the gym and making me lose motivation. I used to feel great after gym sessions but these days after each session, it feels like I've been hit by a bus and I feel 'out of it' for a while. I have to collapse on my bed, resting for up to a few hours. It's no longer enjoyable. I no longer have that spark or motivation. I think getting a personal trainer would really benefit me.
Do people have experience of personal trainers? How good are they and what prices would I be looking at? I'd like a balanced opinion please, not a sweeping statement like 'PTs are awful/waste of money/if you can't motivate yourself you will never succeed' or any of that bull****.
