To those who have a personal trainer -
is it worth it? What’s the cost?

I’ve done group classes for a while but am now losing motivation and am not consistent. I like having accountability which makes me interested in a personal trainer

I think mine was $50/hr at Xsport. Great for accountability, but I also did it to learn all the lifts and haven’t gone for some time.

Very hit or miss. Some are extremely knowledgable and you can learn a lot from. Others are paid workout partners who go through the motions. If you’re trying to learn specific skills look for a specialist, don’t just pick a random who walks around the gym floor. I’m considering doing an Ironman and found a local triathlon coach in my area since I have no clue how I’m going to manage the training demands.

$600/month for 8 sessions/month at a private gym (never more than 3-4 people trained at once, each with own trainer). Was worth it for me because it forced me to show up and made real progress towards goals.

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.
