personal trainer advice

[MrNasue]

I weight training when I was younger then I took some years away from it now I’m looking to get back into it. The main purpose I would like to get a personal trainer it’s to hold me accountable and to motivate me. If I have to pay someone then I’m more likely to go to the gym and take time to listen to them.
What are some things to look for in a good personal trainer and what should they be charging me I had a normal gym so I know I’m not getting ripped off?
Also isn’t normal for them to try and sell me supplements and other programs because the guy I talked to already was trying to sell me on other stuff including weight loss supplements.

i dont think you need personal trainer at all
just do the training yourself

Let's be honest you're not going to find a good personal trainer at a gym in those situations there may be some hidden gems here and there but for the most part they are crap
if someone helps motivate you and gives you accountability and you want to pay them for that then I can see the purpose in doing it but otherwise I don't see the point of just a normal Joe using a personal trainer

Nothing says you MUST buy products even if they recommend them. Deffo not from them.
