[quote=Anonymous]I've worked with two different trainers, one for about 4 months and one I'm still seeing and it's been over a year.  I saw the first after having my first kid, when I felt like I'd fallen off the wagon in terms of working out and taking care of myself.  I saw him until I felt motivated to go to the gym on my own, and when I felt like I was in decent shape again.  I stopped seeing him, in part because of the price, and in part because I was tired of hearing him talk about the girls he was dating.  Also, he never kept great track of my workouts so while I knew I was gaining strength I didn't really have the numbers to prove it.

The second one I started seeing after my second child was born, when again I felt like I needed a kick in the rear to get me moving again.  Ultimately i feel like I paid him, and still do, just to get me to the gym and force me to have a good workout.  Theoretically i have the motivation and interest, but life is so busy that I know I wouldn't go with the same frequency, or workout with the same intensity, without him.

With both trainers I specifically did NOT want to focus on my weight or body shape.  I was always at a decent weight even if I wanted to lose a few pounds.  But I don't do well obsessing over a few pounds, and I just wanted to be fit and healthy and strong.  Ultimately, of course, I toned up with both trainers.  So, "success" was getting me to the gym regularly, consistently getting a good workout done in under an hour, and feeling good about my body and health.[/quote]
