Need a personal trainer...
for my Mom. She has crash dieted her whole life. Hates to exercise. I would she is about 50lbs overweight. She is 50 years old and works 40 hours a week. I was thinking of getting her a personal trainer for a couple months to teach her some exercises and diet advice. Maybe 1 or 2 times a week with a program to follow when the trainer is not there. I tried showing her things but she does not stick with it. I think if she knew it was costing a lot of money she would take it seriously. I'm talking a trainer that will come to my moms house. How much do you think this will cost per session? Bad idea?

You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.

Unfortunately, you cannot make your mother want to get in shape. If she isn't into it, a trainer might not be able to help much.

liek the other two said, she has to want it first.
perhaps you could be her "gym partner" and attend her training sessions if she's interested in going. this way she doesn't feel alienated and has someone who she can talk to about it afterward and keep each other accountable.Know the Rules:

31. Check the back seat; 32. Enjoy the little things

Unfortunately our schedules conflict so we are unable to work out together. She wants to lose weight. She goes on a diet about once every 6 months. The expensive diets, WW's, nutrisystem. Now she wants to start getting the nutrisystem meals. Thats expensive. I thought this would be a better alternative.

Wish I could but we both work different hours. I would meet with trainer first and tell her to come on here and state her credentials and attach a training vid of herself. Originally Posted by danny81

i agree. but if the lady is a bit muscular, it can be intimidating to a noob. Originally Posted by Doublebase

Keep telling her she's fat. That's what I do to my mom.
No effect yet... but I'll keep trying!

$60 is the most you should pay per session in this area for an at-home trainer, but you can find completely unqualified people who will charge twice that.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

I've been looking on craigslist and that seems to be the going rate. Not to bad. I thought it would have been closer to a hundred. Originally Posted by Dale Mabry

Craigslist has been creepy lately, to many predators on it now.
