No, it's not a good idea.

1) If you like your current trainer, and are seeing the results you
want, you should continue with her. Just cause this other trainer is
hot, doesn't mean he'll train you as well.

2) Trainers are like health care providers. If they have a
professional relationship with you, they should not be having an
intimate relationship with you.

So if what you really want to do is date this guy, then you have ample
opportunity to get to know him in the gym. And since he won't be YOUR
personal trainer, he'll be free to go out with you if it turns out
he's as attracted to you and you are to him.

It is unethical for a trainer to date his trainee... so if you switch to
him, don't expect anything more than a professional relationship.

What's interesting is the fact that you even asked this question.

It defines you.

Staying motivated is tough. With the new trainer you'll have a leg up, so
to speak.

he's been there as long as she has and i know he's a good trainer. I
see him everytime i go to the gym, so he's booked day all the time
basically.

2) Trainers are like health care providers. If they have a

yeah i was really just joking around. Are you kidding? i'm not going to
renew my training session! those things are expensive and seriously, I
don't have anything i need to target yet, unless you count "fat rolls
everywhere." and all the excercises my traininers guides me through now,
well, i can do it on my own with a "SHAPE" magazine subscription.

So if what you really want to do is date this guy, then you have ample
opportunity to get to know him in the gym. And since he won't be YOUR

He is pretty hot and my trainer was nice enough to introduce us. We
talked a little bit and I made him laugh several times, and vice versa.
Altho I'm not hideously ugly, I'm not confident enough to date a
physical trainer! So...we'll see...maybe this will serve as extra
motivation for me to visit the gym.

Paying your trainer to spend time with you because you have a crush on
him... I do not think it is a good deal.

i dunno. i feel like i'm paying for the company anyways. I mean sure
they guide you through the excercises and they kill you, but it's really
more of a motivator than anything else. Like i said in a previous
post, SHAPE magazine has pull-out index cards every month with gym
excercises you can follow. It costs about $1000 for 20 training
sessions at my gym. Since I plan to be losing weight for at least
another...50 weeks, what am i to do? buy 50 training sessions just so I
can have the motivation? i think all the talk about "motivation comes
from within" on this forum has laid that question to rest.

I can use that $2k towards my annual wardrobe budget -- a better motivator.
