personal training??????????

[awoken]

hey everyone just wondering if anyone knows of a good personal trainer in christchurch that can help with diet protein intake etc and also strength training that could write me a program and help me train??? im willing to pay but dont want to pay millions like some want.

You get what you pay for!

If you are really committed it doesn't cost that much for the results you could achieve with proper guidance

[Minnipumped]

I disagree, paying through the nose for a personal trainer does not guarantee you would get better results. Being a personal trainer trainee myself I see a lot of trainers over charging. Awoken, I'm guessing you currently take protein powder? And have you thought of taking up powerlifting or using that form of lifting as part of a strength training plan?

Have you asked at your gym who a good trainer might be for you? Cityfitness charge $49-73 p/h depending on level of trainer(1-4).

Don't hold your breath on this one. This gym is owned by NZIS(which as a sports industry education facility is excellent), and if it's anything like their pathetic city gym(very poor attendance, low quality equip, unprofressional trainers, dead atmosphere) I'd stay away from the place. While $40 for PT sessions sounds bloody great, it would be priced at that for a reason. Who knows, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

[mike27]

yeah that gym at ricc is not fully set up as yet, no change rooms etc

limited space and no airflow

[magnetic-man]

You just finished the 6month personal training course there mike? what was the equipment like? was also thinking of using snap but the limited space and no squat rack has put me off

[mike27]

yeah just dont the course there

good we got a gym there, but its still needing a load of gear!

yeah snap at ricc is shit!!!! no rack and its tiny and half the equipment is "out of order"

see my review on here :roll:

as for plat sport gym in ric

got 3 racks and deadlift platform

spin bikes,treadmills benches and a few machines. DB racks,swiss balls,some bands,plyo steps,gym sticks and a few other things
