Thanks guys, I realise that personal trainers are very expensive.
Problem is that none of my friends are interested in joining the gym, hence me suggesting personal trainer.
Also, was in Jackie Skelly in Parkwest a couple of years back and found their instructors less than useless and more interested in sitting chatting on the phone than helping clients. I think I was using the weights wrong and just got cheesed off. Perhaps I need a serious gym so to speak, I am not that interested in the pool etc.
Unfortunately, have put up an alarming amount of weight and if I am honest become a complete lazy sod and its time to tackle it before it becomes a real issue. I know eat less (or in my case better) and excercise more is the key, but up to now have lacked motivation, which is totally unlike me, but there have been changes in work, culminating in redundancy for the staff, so it is hard to focus on anything else. But now am back on track and willing to tackle this.
