Don't risk your safety to save a couple bucks.  Get a day pass at a real gym, test out the machines they have there, and if you like their machines, then purchase THAT brand.  You want something that will last, and REAL gym machines will last.

I work in the Community college gym.  I charge 15 dollars a session under the table for personal training.\n\nFor community members it's 100 dollars for a year membership.\n\nWhen joining a gym, it's always best to join the community owned ones as they are not trying to push product and sales on you constantly.  They also have much more qualified trainers.

It sounds like you have the right idea with wanting to keep the price down.  Often people want to start working out and they spend lots of money buying equipment, and then they stop working out a week later.  Don't let anybody fool you, weights are weights... it doens't matter what brand.  If I were you, I would go to garage sales or to Wal-Mart until I found the cheapest "basic" set possible.  A bench press and leg press (like you spoke about,) will do just fine at first.  Or get a membership to a gym, and try it out for a month or two before you buy any equipment (make sure you go to a gym that does NOT make you sign a contract) They do that because they know the majority of people stop working out after a week, and then you're stuck making payments to them for a year.  After you've worked out for a while then, maybe go get a weight set with all of the features on it.  I think you'll do just fine.  Keep up the motivation and remember that it takes time.

The best thing to do to save money is pair up with someone looking for the same result (so that you can train the same).  If a trainer is $60/hr and you pair up he/she will usually work for about $35/person.  A little more than half, 2 people is a little more work.  I have worked as a trainer and own a training studio, I haved lived east and west coast.  Tell me what general area you are looking in, and I can give you somewhere to look.

I have been a member of 24 Hour Fitness (a large chain in Southern California) a couple of times, and both times, they stopped charging me right when I asked them to. There weren't any more "snooty" people there than there are at your average mall. I paid in the neighborhood of $20/month, but it can be much more expensive depending on the gym you join.

I have an excellent business opportunity for you.  The start up fee is your membership, plus $49, which includes your training.  It is a business that actually works itself.  If you are interested, email me and I can send you some information.

Most definetely go with SBC Global.  I have tried the majority of them.  If u ask them they can set up up for $21.99.  Great service, great connection.  Tell them u want the $21.99 deal, but remember you have to negotiate that same price one yr from the time u sign up, every year.  G L    I love sbc.  I pay $68.03 every month for telephone, all amenities, long distance anywhere in cont. USA,  Internet service.  They now have a special going for TV, Telephone, and Computer. All in one and very inexpensive.  Check em' out.  G L

24HR fitness is a breeding ground for trainers. It's a hit or miss with the gyms. Think of it as the car salepeople of the trade.\n\nThey want you to keep coming back so they leave you with a little something.\n\nI went for the 5 session pack and didn't do anything for me.  They went over the proper use of the machines and what muscles the machines work on.\n\nSo look for someone you can relate to and hopefully they'll be better than the majority.

I have the same problem. What I found was a large physical therapy location which has a pool and a gym and they allow people to purchase memberships to use either.  This place is DEFINITELY not a meat-market, no one is looking at what you look like.  Most people are overweight or injured and are there for serious work to help themselves.  \n\nThe membership is actually CHEAPER than a health-club.  $30 a month, and it's open 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday and 7-12 on Saturday, which are reasonable hours.  The pool is heated for therapy reasons and all the fitness equipment you need is available for your use. \n\nThese places don't seem to advertise so you'll have to make some calls.

it depends on the gym that is providing the spinning class, some might pay up to as low as 70 a class up to 10k a month (well that depends on how highly qualified are you) \n\ntry looking up for www.lessmills.com\n\nCheers

It is a good thing for you to see what your getting, but I agree it is a ploy to strong arm you!\n\nI would find the place you like and name drop about the other gyms. Since it is done on commision, I would wait until the end of the month and at the end of the day so you have an advantage because they need to make quotas.Same for buying a car!\n\nYou should ask people what they are paying as they enter and leave the gym to get a feel for the cost. Good luck!
