How much do they charge? $100 a session? If they charge a lot, they shouldn't just switch trainers.

I went to one outside of DC and stopped after a few months. They would switch trainers plus I ended up hurting my shoulder. It is really important to work with just one trainer who understands your needs and capabilities.

I used the Bethesda location during Covid. The thing I didn’t like is that they can just switch your trainer without telling you. The trainer I had been working with took another job, didn’t tell me, and then they put me with someone I really didn’t like. I ended up not going as I lost my last few sessions.

I did like that it’s only a few people in the gym at once and you have your own area you’re working in. But beyond that I’d rather have a consistent trainer….

I'd love to hear about your experience in either of these locations and recommendations for or against specific trainers. I'm a 58-year-old woman, active, but new to strength training.
