| What does a personal trainer do? |

| What’s wrong with just joining a gym? |
| Joining a gym is a great first start, but how many times have you said, “I’ll just use this machine; that one’s too hard.” Or, “I’ll work my abs next time.” A personal trainer keeps you motivated, offers encouragement and shows you how to properly use equipment.
