So I go to anytime fitness and I just started a 4 day split weights program a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that the gym didn't have a couple of the leg machines that the program required (its mostly free weights, except for legs). Anyway I asked the admin person who didn't know anything and directed me to a PT.
The PT suggested I come in for a "free" consultation with him, I was a bit hesitant because I just wanted to know which exercise I should use instead. Anyway I met him yesterday, he measured my body fat,waist measurement, height and weight and then asked me my goals.
My goals are pretty modest - currently 213 I'd like to be 200 or less in 3 months - I think with diet and dedication to a plan its quite achievable, I am already down from 218 to 213 within 5 weeks.
Anyway then the PT asks me what my budget is and if I can work with him 3 times a week, I immediately say that I can work independently to a plan to which he says that I wont achieve my goals unless I spend upwards of 700$ per month with him. This totally turned me off to the whole PT thing because I don't think throwing money at a solution provides a result, I'm sure it can but in my situation it doesn't.
Does beyond think that diet and dedication is enough to succeed in your fitness goals or do you need to spend that much money to lose 10 pounds.
