I said I was biased ;). Ive talked to a lot of big gym trainers, and they hate that they have to be so preoccupied with how they are going to earn a paycheck, but ive found that those that dont have to worry in a big gym setting tend to be the best rainers: because they have such a steady client base, the turnover isnt a concern. Guess we know where you fall! sarah- thanks for your input. I said I was biased .

You can still get a great workout from a free group fitness class, but eventually people stop seeing results and we know where that leads (hint: back to the couch in frustration)! I'd like to pick on the gym trainer stereotype you mentioned - while I agree, there are some big chains out there like that (it became a stereotype for a reason, right?), not all of them are. Yes, be wary if your trainer starts pushing supplements. At my club, trainers don't sell memberships or supplements - our priority is the safety and satisfaction of our clients! So please, don't judge all gym trainers - not everyone fits that stereotype!
