Why don’t more people hire personal trainers?

If you could splurge on a luxury vacation once a year, or work with a trainer all year who help you look hotter AND get rid of all of your aches and pains, why not take the former? I know plenty of people who make $80k+ a year and look terrible, are in pain all the time, and could benefit from having someone give them guidance. They’d just have to cut a few things out.

Not everyone can afford personal trainers depending on the gym we can be pretty expensive especially when your already paying a monthly fee to workout.

And the other reason is exactly as you said they would basically go have a vacation then actually put in the work to better themselves physically.

But I would highly recommend trainers not familiar with working out. Trainers are a good way to stay motivated because they make you accountable and help keep you motivated and stay on point with coming in, your nutrition, diet and tailor workouts depending on your needs. If you can afford it.

I’ve never been able to understand the need for personal trainers. Lifting weights and training isn’t that hard to figure out.

There's more to it then you think not just weight lifting but the reason for trainers.

I know, some people maybe need motivation. But I guess I don’t understand that because I already feel motivated, and someone else telling me to work harder wouldn’t work for me anyway.

There's a lot that goes into weight lifting on the scientific side that we as trainers deal with. That you wouldn't also.

But yeah not everyone needs the motivation so it wouldn't do people like you any good. But a lot of people stop working out because they eventually lose the the motivation.

I prefer to workout alone or with my boyfriend. I already have my own routine, I can push myself to go over my limits so I don’t need a PT. Plus, working out at the gym is like having my own “me time” where I could just focus on my sets, look cute, and feeling good about myself.

Because I don't have 50k a year to hire one, hell I don't make 50k... maybe if you make a million you might chose to do it

Because that takes work. You could also look up how to do any exercise there is online for free and they will teach you form step by step.
