Free Personal Training

On Monday, I went in for my FREE personal training session that the SUPER NICE trainer at my gym gave me.  Let me tell ya…working with a trainer takes working out to a whole other level.  I can’t believe how HARD this session was.  It was a half hour session and I think we actually only worked out for about 15 minutes (after paperwork and talking). 

Those were the longest 15 minutes everrrrrr!

He had me do:

  • Squats with a medicine ball raise above head
  • Squats with a medicine ball push out in front
  • 30 lb bag shoulder presses
  • Rope training
  • Box jumps
  • Lateral jumps over a step
  • Burpees with 30 lb bag and raise
  • Push-Ups on 30lb bag

And a couple more full body exercises.  I thought I was gonna YACK!  Well played, trainer boy…. well played!

I absolutely hate burpees!!!  I seriously HATE them!

He said he enjoyed training me because I worked hard.  He offered to give me another HOUR of training for free this evening.  I could barely make it through 15 min so I really hope I can last an hour! It’s going to be a challenge but I’m up for the challenge!!!

Wish me luck.  I hope I come back alive.

Have you ever worked out with a personal trainer?  Would you rather work out with a PT or workout alone?

  1. Sounds like he wants you shredded fast! I’m a personal trainer specializing in weight loss and body conditioning. His approach was spot-on. Is sounds like he emphasizes core strength and overall fitness rather than the Frankenstein approach I see with a lot of trainers. If his goal is to give you a fit, healthy body that will last you the next 50 years or more I’d stick with him. Congratulations on going the distance with the burpees!
