Personal Trainers, and a bit about my car

drewanWhat do you guys think about personal trainers?
I met with one of the trainers at Northwest last night, mainly to get a complimentary program orientation. She really encouraged me to go for additional training sessions, which of course cost me money. Yes, I realize that she was trying to do the up-sale, but I've nearly talked myself into thinking that this would be a good idea for me. The only problem is the cost.
$70 per individual session
about $500 if I book 8 sessions
about $750 if I book 12 sessions
and about $1400 if I book 24 session
In my head I'm thinking that this would be like taking a class... except I'm the only student. I'm hoping that this might be enough to change my habits and actually get my body in motion (a body in motion tends to stay in motion).
Maybe I'll just start with the 8 sessions... I can afford that now (more or less). I'm feeling tight on money lately due to the hit and run on my car.
Oh... that reminds me. My car is back from the autobody shop now. Everything looks great, though it smells slightly of paint. The total came out to be about $3580, $500 of which I cover with my deductible.
Back to personal trainers... Anyone have any suggestions or alternatives? Can anyone recommend someone else in the Twin Cities that I should work with? I don't need go to Northwest... its just the gym I belong to.
