  I alternate training alone and with a PT group session on alternate days. The PT will push me harder than I usually push myself. - Posted from rhpmobile

  A good one does both. My ex wife is a fitness instructor. Still trains me. Drill sergeant and motivator in one package. Ball breaker in the kitchen but.......don't put the plastic ware in the dishwasher......don't cook that like that.......don't..........

  What Meander said. I've tried many PT's - both encouraging and ball breaking - and it's never worked out. These days I rely on my conscience, and it seems to be going ok - I'm managing to stick to my exercise and eating commitments. At least so far lol

  can't afford one, but my training sessions would be a little different 😉

  I can self-motivate at the gym and if someone was telling me to push harder, my extra effort would involve throwing a heavy medicine ball at them full pelt.

  ... my training routine after 15 years playing footy in the nrl leaves me questioning some of the training methods taught to those who don't know any different . Not saying it's all bad.. any workout is a good workout .. just that there's some things I'd change which I believe do get quicker results.. I'ts not my place to tell any trainer what he should and should'nt do... so I just go about my business...

  I work in a gym so that helps (I'm in admin though), being surrounded by like minded people is always going to make a difference. Recently though I read a quote along the lines of "Don't skip Monday's workout!". Even working in a gym I lose motivation sometimes, but ever since I've been jumping out of bed on a Monday to smash it, I've gotten up every day afterwards to keep going! Most of you know what you need to do, it's just a matter of motivation. If it's a PT that you need, do it. If you can do it yourself, do that. But if it's not working, change!

  I train a few people a week and usually the motivation for new people into fitness is a challenge. Changing your mindset from a very sedentary lifestyle to a more active can be daunting and when you get used to a type of inactive lifestyle you don't know any different. I prefer someone who pushes me really hard and makes me accountable, I don't use one myself as I have set myself the task of running a half marathon. I love how I've set this goal and thats the trick and also you're doing it for yourself no one else, because honestly you need to be happy doing this just for you. Tell you what though, the injuries and leg issues, I secretly get off on the pain (but don't tell anyone).

  I often sidle up to people doing the whole PT thing at gym. I just listen in and get pointers, then go off and do it myself. A local PT at my gym here has gone and put decals of himself and his business on his car, apparently we can ''run with the lions'' with his good guidance. What a wanker. Hyenas travel in large packs and often see lions off after the lion has just taken down prey, which the hyenas then make off with. I suppose ''run with the hyenas'' isn't as catchy though. Alpha males shit me no end.

  I wouldnt mind , but without knowing and watching your schedule I wouldn't try to guess. I'd need to be there at the time.. I pick up on different things listening to what some P Ts have to say, and with some of the delicate ego's around I'm in no hurry to tell them where I think they're doing things wrong or a better way.
