Do you need a personal trainer or group?

I thought about this question for a long time....do I need a personal trainer? I have been going to a gym since I was 14 years old. I absolutely love the people and when you have to commit to driving somewhere to work-out...that's exactly what you will do, however, that does not mean that you will always be performing at optimum levels. There are several ways to beat boredom at the gym....you can switch how many repetitions or how many sets, you could even change your entire work-out routine every 4-6 weeks. If you are like me and you have already been there...done that. Well, then maybe having a trainer every once in a while might not be a bad idea. That was what I wrapped my head around anyway. So, then I started to look at how much it would cost me and what options are available to me. You can be one on one or in a group. We all know that being one on one is the best as far as attention from the trainer goes...or is it? I decided to find out and join a group session. A personal session was going to cost $60 per session. In the group the cost is $22.50 and that also included doing a body composition test at the beginning of the session & again at the end + a journal to write down what foods I am consuming along with calories and protein intake. Wow! That is what I call unbelievable savings! I asked the trainer how many people would be in a "group" and she told me no more than 5. The first day we met there were 4 of us and by the 3rd session it was down to me and one other person. Fantastic! I am getting pretty close to one on one attention for a rock bottom price....besides...having another person or person's will only help keep you on track of your goals anyway. The sessions were all one hour long and I always received a good work-out + all the benefits of going through the outlined topic of the day and my personal concerns for my own health issues....so, to answer the question of do you need a personal trainer or to join a group. I would definitely go for the group. Its fun, you meet new people, and it gives you an excellent discount with all the benefits of one on one training.
