I meet with a personal trainer every three weeks. I am a very begining beginner. The problem is that I was my personal trainers first client. I don't think he has any idea what a personal trainer is suppose to do and unfortunately neither do I. Many people in the gym have suggested to me that I am paying too much for too little. Can anyone tell me what a personal trainer does? What should I expect for $50/hour? i.e. Would this include an overall plan that would require some time beyond the official hour I pay for or not ect..? I really don't know if he should be doing more.
