It really depends on what you want out of it.

For the UK, there are a number of options

Gyms, all types and resources, depends on budget and how often you use it, look at it as price per session, rather than per year.

Personal Trainers, greatly depends on what space you have a home for them to do stuff with you.

there are Bootcamp outfits such as https://www.bcuk.uk current offer on.

Then there are running clubs, which is pretty much out running most days of the week, decent ones cover all abilities,

Swimming, yoga, Pilates etc all come into it.

Also look at Dance, as that’s popular and is body fitness if you put effort in.

A starter session with a personal trainer, private or at gym, will give you an idea on what exercises they recommend.

greatly depends on budget as you can easily hit silly money.

You need more sun than exercise, kiddo.

Just go for jogs every morning and eat better quality food.

Goto the gym when you have some meat on dem bones to work with.

But lets be honest. you just want to go to gym to make tiktok videos, right?

If you can afford it, get a personal trainer. If not, you don’t need the PT every time, but you can have them do an evaluation, and a schedule for increasing your exercise. Periodic re-evaluations should be done but if you cannot afford it every time, something like I described above is fine. If you can afford a personal trainer every time, you will definitely see a marked improvement in your weight loss, or muscle definition or whatever it is you desire. I recently went on a cruise, and gained a LOT of weight, so now I’m back at the gym 4 days a week with a personal trainer to loose the weight, but I don’t want a lot of muscle definition (except for my abs). The personal trainer is the person who can craft a personal workout regimen specifically for my needs.

If you choose to get a trainer, it should be to learn how to use the equipment or after you’ve exercised alone for several months so that you can better communicate what you need and want from a work out, cause if you don’t have your own agenda, you have to accept whatever they give you, and you might not like it. I find a lot of my friends will teach me basic skills simply because we’re friends, so I would use the trainer for the hard questions.

dynamicyandere · Answer

If you’re not sure how to build an exercise program that will help you achieve your goals, you can either figure it out yourself or hire a personal trainer. Just make sure that the personal trainer knows their sh*t and isn’t just giving you info you can easily Google. They should help you build a program specifically tailored for you—after all, you’re paying for expertise and personalization.

Is having a gym membership worth it? I think so. If you’re regularly using their equipment multiple times a week, I think it’s worth the investment to have everything you need in one place.

If you want to self-educate, I highly recommend the YouTube channel, Mind Pump. They’re basically a group of experienced personal trainers that educate newer personal trainers as well as fitness enthusiasts in general. 🤙

DJB72 · Answer

A gym is only worth it if you use it minimum 3 times a week. It's better to have a trainer - or at least to setup with one. Don't stick to exercise you like - you'll miss areas. At the start some exercise is downright unpleasant until your body gets used to it.

Certain muscle groups get almost no exercise in modern life - leg curls to strengthen the back of the legs for example. Consequently to begin with they're bloody painful. A good trainer can help you push through to the point where the circuit actually makes a difference. At least to start with.

Th3ft · Answer

As someone looking in to getting my personal trainers certificate I would say that a gym membership is a great place to start. Really though it all depend on your drive and motivation. And as for getting a personal trainer… that ALL depends on what you want to happen. Literally motivation is key at that point because you are spending the money for it.

HighValue · Answer

If someone isn't self motivated (doesn't need a trainer) then they likely won't stay fit for long.
It is better to just get some exercise equipment for at home if you have the space for it. I'd recommend a stationary bike and a set of dumbbells. Then look online on YouTube to find different exercises that you may be interested in. Try AthleanX on YouTube.

Anonymous · Answer

"Worth it" in what way? If you want work out equipment and don't have any, and can go regularly, a membership can be well worth it as far as justifying the expense. But you can also get exercise other ways for free, like walking etc. A personal trainer is even more money though I think? I don't think they are necessarily really unless you have very serious fitness goals you want to achieve. Or, to show you how to use the equipment properly (many don't use them the correct way). You can stick to exericeses you like sure, but it is good to switch them up often as your body does become accustomed to it, and sometimes your results can "plateau"

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I'll personally train you... really hard. But my real answer is to just buy a weight cage and do it yourself. Just youtube the shit you don't know. We live in easy mode nowadays.

Man-O-Metal · Answer

Getting a membership for a gym is a great thing. I don't use (or pay for) personal trainers. My schedule varies, and some days I just can't make it to the gym. So I don't want to be tied to a strict schedule. I just go and do whatever I'm in the mood for. Lifting or cardio

Charliefretz329 · Answer

For starters, you don’t need a trainer to be beautiful! You have a rocking body!!!

Second, just do whatever physical activity you enjoy unless you have a specific goal in mind and then sure, hire a trainer or watch YouTube videos…

MrPickles13 · Answer

If you have the space for some stuff for exercises home is better j would say as it's cheaper and don't have to travel but depends as well done gyms will give access to pools and classes so it depends I'd that interests you.

I do have a gym membership but can't bring myself to go right now. But I do really want to.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

If you desire to stay in shape and healthy, then yes. Personal trainers are only necessary if you need guidance on how to get the progress you desire in terms of nutrition, exercise and workout creation.

SlothySlob · Answer

It's better to get a professional to tell you how to do exercises properly rather than "figuring them out" yourself. It's just that there's a greater chance that you'll actually do harm to yourself by doing an exercise wrong than gaining benefit.

ImJustSomeGuyLol · Answer

You definitely can if you think you'll be consistent. I personally chose not too and opted to buy a bunch of exercise equipment for the same price as an annual gym membership. I can work out whenever I want, no people, and I save money in the long term.

QuietRunner · Answer

If you get the right personal trainer they will support you in the exercise you like

Generally people find the exercises they like at a gym

Weight training is easier when a member of a gym, but there all types of programs for exercise too.

loveslongnails · Answer

The exercises you "enjoy" aren't necessarily the exercises you need most to do. You don't often have to join the gym in order to get the lessons themselves, but you may not be able to do them without the gym's equipment. Is it worth it? I think so, but you have to find the right trainer.

Planet Fitness is pretty cheap, anywhere from $10-12 a month, so that shouldn't be a burden. Getting the right trainer makes all the difference.

TwiNshichamp1 · Answer

Yes hit some gym and get that outstanding body shape. I thought you get into gym lol! that back pack if it's Natural, then you're good to start. You will get more curves. But don't forget to train your legs and thighs too.

Lunatic1 · Answer

A gym membership can be worth it to add new workouts to your routine that you can't do at home, but you should try and get your money's worth if you do. Working out on your own can work if you can see that you are making progress.

MCheetah · Answer

Hire a personal trainer once, learn all the basics from them, then do them yourself.

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

Personally I never like anyone telling me what to do, let's not even mention paying someone to tell me what to do, but the gym is good if you wanna get built and I guess it's never something that wouldn't be worth it

IJhonnyI · Answer

Yea sign up for a gym no one really needs a personal training push yourself and do it on your own sign up as long as you use it don't pay for it for no reason👍🏼

exitseven · Answer

It depends if you actually go and workout. Some gyms like to sell memberships with the intention that most people won't actually workout after the first couple of weeks.
To me a personal trainer is just somebody you pay to work out with you.

JakeS00 · Answer

I have a trainer and she gave me great motivation and ways of pushing through workouts that may be tough. I have self-motivation too that was boosted by her. It's up to you, it does get tough keeping the consistency going.

Zolly99999 · Answer

If you are new then definitely get a personal trainer. You will see more progress faster then trying to figure things out on your own. A gym membership is worth its weight in gold !

RavVid · Answer

I think floor exercises are best. Usually there is enough space to do it. It is worthwhile to have a class you can go to. Not necessarily a one on one trainer.

Birdlegs · Answer

I know a lot about training I can make you a workout plan

lawhawk · Answer

Joining is worth it if you have the motivation to go. Most places at least have someone that can shiw you the right way to use the machines. If you aren't familiar ask... or you'll accomplish little other than possibly hurting yourself.

DrHonesty · Answer

You should join my gym. It's in my bedroom and features vigorous mouth and throat exercises 😍

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Getting into your own gym at home would save you money and training to help other people would be your best bet.

Iron_Man · Answer

You don’t need a personal trainer at the gym they are not worth it all they do is train for cardio not really muscle strength conditioning or to put muscle on they are a joke to me

Twalli · Answer

It depends on your goal. A personal trainer can give you a range of exercises to do in a single meeting, and if you stick with it, you'll have your desired results.
