What are your opinions/experiences with personal trainers?

I'm considering getting one to get me started. Hit me up with your actual advice mixed with garbage advice and memes so I don't know what to believe and I end up more confused than when I started writing this.

P.S.: Not a grill

Most personal trainers are retarded. There's nothing a personal trainer can do for you that you can't do for yourself.

They will help you with your form

Just like the tennis trainers at country clubs, they do it for the chance to fuck clients.

>trainer in my gym always makes his clients do hi-rep superset bosu ball type stuff
>mfw he does 3/4/5 for reps like it's nothing
>ask him why he makes his clients do meme workouts
>"it's what they want, user"
>mfw no face for this

Professional bro-scientists

What if I told him I want to look like Ryan Renolds? or Hugh Jackman (at his best)?

Surly this isn't what they did.

I haven't really researched this much but I am fairly certain that a legitiment bodybuilding coach that helps prepare IFBB competitors for competition is about the same price as a 'personal trainer' so why would you ever pick a personal trainer? Same with a powerlifting coach if that's what you are more into, I think. It's at least a fairly close price considering the price for 'personal trainers' these days.

Idiots

George farah charges 5000 bucks just for a nutrition plan , chris aceto and hany wont even glance at you unless youre a 1 in a hundred million genetic outlier and are 100% determined to do what ever it takes.

So no you wont get proper ifbb coaches with your mcjob money if youre lucky you get meme shit looking coaches off of youtube or instagram scammers like panda.
