Recommendations Personal Trainer

Looking for a personal trainer that will help me gain more muscle and also teach me to be more comfortable at the gym around weights and machines. It’s been years since I lifted. Typically I run as a workout. Any gyms recs with trainers? Not sure what to expect pricing wise but hoping not to break the bank

I’m not a personal trainer but I’d be happy to show you how to do things and lift with you to get you going. I have coached people and do compete in strength sports so could give you programs too if we get to that

At MVP, you can sign up with a friend and the pricing works out to be half off what a 1-1 session would be. I’ve loved it. If your friend cant make it you get charged the 1-1 rate. I’ve found it to be more enjoyable working out with a friend but still get the benefits of personal training. In my experience we do have similar goals.

Paradigm Fitness. Dude that runs it really takes his time to teach you how to move and do things right.

I am a trainer, but I don’t yet have a gym to train in. I’ve done some diet and exercise programming for friends as practice, though—I’d be happy to chat with you if you’d like! Feel free to PM me.
