Hi everyone! I'm determined to get into shape, and upon assessment from my personal trainer, have been told that I have rounded shoulders (resulting from bad posture). He wants to put me on a 9 mth plan to rectify the problem and work on my weak back muscles. Problem is, I can't afford such a plan and I wonder whether freetrainers caters to this problem? I went through the fitness plans and didn't seem to find anything relevant to the specific training that this trainer says I need on top of the general fitness training. Will I the ftPro programs provide for these specialised programs?

Probably not. Why is the plan so costly. Is it the cost of the trainer? Is the trainer charging more to fix this problem. That would be dick move.

Thanks Pemdas! Great site :big_smile:! The trainer wants me to do one on one training 3 times a week, for 9 months. It amounts to about 6500 USD. He's charging me just the basic rate, but I must say, I'm weary as to whether I am really in need of such prolonged attention or whether he's just trying to close the sale...
I'll try get a second opinion. Thanks a bunch anyhow, I definately feel I have other options now, other than the one he's suggesting.
