Should I get a personal trainer?

[villa34]

I work overnight security and there is minimal amount of movement required for this job. So I'm going back to the gym but I'm wondering if I should get a personal trainer. I have a good idea of what to do at the gym but I feel like I could use some pointers. Especially with nutrition since my diet is way off since I work over night. What are the pros and cons about booking a personal trainer? And what would be some good supplements to buy since I don't really have a chance to eat 4 to 6 times a day? (Ex. Protein, amino acids. Etc)

you dont need a personal trainer, just go to the gym, watch youtube etc and do research, you should know what ur doing in 6 months and learn from mistakes, personal trainers won't know what works best for you

having a PT will help you stay committed and progress faster than you can do on your own, its good if you're a beginner. A dietitian is more reliable though if you want strictly diet.

If you feel like you could use some pointers, then you should start off with a personal trainer and then take it from there once you really know what you're doing.

Pros: someone can give you advice
Cons: its expensive, google can help a lot too and is free.

If you can afford one, sure.
I have my own personal trainers.
