Bodybuilding Trainer Pricing???

[DaveWallerCB]

Hi everyone,

So I meet with a local Houston bodybuilding trainer last night, and I was impressed and respected everything he said about his methods and training.
I just wanted to run his pricing past you guys to see if it sounds in line.

He quoted me $1188.00 a month, $99 per session. Does that seems in line?

Thanks for the help.

Seriously?

Are you looking for a babysitter or a coach?
Did you already check out the sponsors here yet? Gunsmith gave you a list.

Yeah I contacted some off the list he gave me and that's the route I'm gonna go....i just need to find a workout partner to really push me in the gym. Finding a partner has been a problem because I normally workout at 430am. I guess I'll just have to ask for spotters to get heavy forced reps, good negatives and such.

I just wanted to confirm that this was to much. I already hd made up my mind really to go with Alex.

Thanks

If you are in the right mindset and have the drive, then you don't really need a training partner.

I train by myself and select exercises where I don't need a spotter. OK, so you won't be able to do forced reps, but you can certainly go to failure doing various kinds of presses in a rack or cage and you can still do negatives by unracking and allowing the bar to come down to the safety catches.

The smythe also provides tons of possibilities as do DBs.

Good luck man and train hard.

depends on what he is doing for that cost !!
if he is at the gym with you ever session , making assessments and adjustments the. I don't think that's out of line

but for about the same cost you can hire George Farrah , Chis Aceto , or some of the other WORLD renowned trainers to lay out a plan for you.

I think if your trainer is getting pics ever couple weeks to make adjustments and is willing to corispond with you and answere your question with more than "because im the trainer now do what i say" then $100 a week seems fair in all
honesty.

what you get with any of the guys on that list if far more than what they charge

Thanks gunsmith. I think I'm gonna go with Alex after talking with him.

i make better gains training alone..less rest between sets.and not subject to anothers timeline. but. if you feel you need a training partner..show up at the gym consistantly..train hard and one will find you.

I go through 6-8 a year and honestly the only guy that sticks with me consistently is a 17 yr old kid that's so hungry to grow and learn it impresses the fuck out of me , I have pushed him to puke on many workouts and he keeps comming back for more , his schedule is messed up but when he can he'll call me and ask if he can train

what I'm saying is don't discredit sombody because they're not a jacked up lean ogre!!

I know some figure girls that will work circles around most gym rats
