It’s hard to afford your own personal trainer and find one that’s really good for you.  Most I’ve found always tie you into a long term contract, and frankly personal training is a very individualized thing.  I find that most of the more affordable ones tend to leave you on your own in some ways, and they’re really not all that helpful.  I mean they seem to ignore you a lot, and I could definitely do better.  This being said, I won’t pay for that. 

But now they have online personal trainers.  I mean obviously I know it’s not that personal, and posting back to make changes every day is not the greatest.  Plus they’re not right there to motivate you to keep going or yell at you or whatever.  I do better with tougher people in general who just push you no matter what, unless of course it’s threatening to your health or something.  But most are getting softer, they think clients are more likely to stay(and they are)if you’re nicer even if you don’t show that great of results.  But frankly, for many people, online personal trainers just like other online options are becoming more popular and more successful in general terms.
