Have any of you used a personal trainer? If so, were the results satisfactory( I realize you have to be dedicated and following their advice for good results).

Generally how much do personal trainers in your area charge? I"ve heard they range from $50-$200/hour in this area. How do you find a good personal trainer? It seems like anyone and everyone is a trainer these days.

Thanks Ted, I was looking for someone who could come to my home. I want to work out simply, no special equipment. I want to be able to do everything with a simple set of hand/leg weights.

Posture is the thing I'm interested in, not muscle building.

Blackmercedes John, did you ever get my messages from weeks ago?

Blackmercedes John,did you have special problem areas you wanted the trainer to focus on or was it just a general kind of thing? Didn't you feel uncomfortable working with a woman? I know the centers I've contacted ask if you want a man or a woman as many people, at least here in NJ , are more comfortable working with someone of the same sex.
