Personal Trainer Recommendations?

Hi!  I don't usually post on here, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a personal trainer.  Worth it or no?? 

I've never used one before, but I recently had two babies one year apart, so I'm really trying to lose this last 10 or 15 pounds.  It doesn't seem to want to come off! 

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Personal Trainer Recommendations?

  • I can tell you who not to use.....He advertises on craigslist and his name is Dave. If you want more info, PM, I don't want all out drag him through the mud!

  • I def. think it's worth it. I used on at my gym (LA Fitness in Turnersville) and he got me in shape for my wedding. My trainer was Chuck he kept it fun. GL

  • nygirl07's husband is a personal trainer; his gym is in Turnersville. Lilylow and I went to him for a while before I had to stop due to an injury (not workout-related). I really enjoyed working out with Drew!

  • That would be my hubby :)  He owns a small personal training facility on Fries Mill Rd in Turnersville, he's been training for 8 yrs and went to college for it (he's not weekend certified like most).  His facility is strictly personal training so it's not the big gym atmosphere and it's all by appt only. They are actually getting more space and will start holding classes (zumba, kickboxing and others) starting in March.

    If you need any info let me know, yeah he's my husband but he's really good at what he does....I trained with him for 2 years before we started dating and now 6 yrs later I'm still getting my butt kicked :)

  • Thanks girls!  I think I'll look into the place in Turnersville since it's close by. 
  • Cool, thanks for the info!  I definitely don't want to go to a big gym or anything so this sounds perfect.  I am just interested in working with a personal trainer.  I need someone to tell me what I should be doing, and making sure I'm doing everything correctly.  I guess I'll just call for some prices now!  Planning on starting in March.  Does he have a lot of availability?  Would I meet with the same trainer each time or does it change?

  • No you would only be with him, no switching around.  His Tues and Thurs nights are pretty booked but he does have some openings...his mornings are pretty available and he has Saturday mornings too.....you can either stick with the same days or change weekly.  His direct phone number is 609-330-9987 and his name is Drew, just tell him you talked to his wife...what's your first name so I can tell him?
  • kristin-i just realized who you were when i looked at your bio!  it's candice...we graduated hs together.  i think my sister mentioned to me before that your husband owned a gym.  how have you been?  i used to see your sister all the time at the pediatrician's office, but she's gone for good now right?  last time i saw her was a day or so before she had the baby!  how is she doing?

     anyway, i'll definitely give him a call.  i'm hoping to do something at night if that's possible.  are tues & thurs his only nights?  how many times a week do people usually go?  how much is it for a session?  i guess these are all questions i can just ask him instead of bothering you.  thank you for the info! :)

  • LMAO!!!  Oh my god...your sister just emailed me asking about the gym...I just facebooked her back.

    I've been very good, how are you?  I talk to your mom all the time in work :)  Yeah my sister isn't there anymore since the baby has been born, I don't think she plans on going back.  The baby is doing good!  How are your two little ones doing?

    Definetly give him a call, Tues and Thurs aren't his only nights...he is there Mon-Thurs night...just no Friday nights.  Most people do two nights a week to get the most out of it.  You can do one but you'll have to do more weights on your own. 

    All the pricing is on the website and you'll see that you can train with a friend or two too cut costs.

    You know if I looked at your kids names I could of figured out it was you :)  Your mom and I always talked about the babies

  • haha so funny!  yea, i was asking her about a pt because she used to go to one a few years back.  i'm doing great, thanks!  congrats on your marriage, & tell your sis i said congrats on the baby. 

    monday & wednesday nights would work best for me.  hopefully i can find a time that works.  i didn't see the prices on the website when i checked, but i'll just call tonight to find out everything.  i should use the number you gave me & not the one on website?  i may train with a friend, but not sure about that yet.

    ha!  you & my mom are work buddies.  too funny!  enjoy the next couple days off even though you'll be there until july almost! lol

  • Haha, I love your mom, she so sweet!!

    Mon and Wed are good....yeah give the number i gave you a call, they both link to his phone so it doesn't matter which one really...I'll most likely answer tonght b/c he'll be with clients but i can give you any info you need and check his schedule.

     Laura's still pregnant right?  The last I saw her was a few days before my wedding and she hadn't see the Dr yet

  • sounds good, thanks!  talk to you tonight prob!

     yes, she's due in june! :)

  • Yay!  I'm so excited for her...your mom's had one crazy baby filled few years :)
