the Cost of Shared Personal Trainers

I went to my local gym and decided to get shared personal training with a gym buddy of mine. The total price for 2 people with one trainer was 40$ apiece. There was no tax or gratuity awarded for the service, just the 40$ flat fee for each of us. This 40$ was good for two days a week, for two weeks, for a combined 4 sessions. Making it about 10$ a session, not a bad deal.

It was only me and my friend, so the attention was equally divided, and the trainer was excellent at what he did. The money was well spent as I felt I learned and achieved as much if I was doing this by myself. However, I couldn't imagine it being a good service with more than three people at a time. Considering it would be more expensive if I did it alone, I would definitely do this again.

When you are looking into getting shared personal training, I would give a few tips. Shop around for the best service, don't settle with your first instinct. Make sure you train with a person who is willing to exercise and push you as well as themselves. When doing shared training I would not recommend more then two people at a time, as you may not get the attention you need. My last bit of advice would be to train with a friend and not a complete stranger as it may make the experience a better one.
