um no. you can probably learn more from a 5 mins youtube video. i will say they are useful for old people who need actual support on every excercise. but useless otherwise. unless it is the personal trainers who coach actual iffbb id say they're useless.

They're a scam for middle aged women. Avoid, unless you're an elite athlete in which case you will already be around plenty of elite coaches.

Yeah I wouldn't hire a PT. Had one before and it felt like he just wanted a paycheck lmao. No idea what I was expecting.

Some would be, but its so saturated now that you'd be real lucky to get a decent one
If you're nervous about joining the gym / trying new movements it's worth a go but never long term
Breaks my heart seeing dudes coming in for months and months with the same PT, continuing to pay them when all they really do is oversee their liftsI only know my own ideas of other peoples ideas.

i agree with piano that most people who pay do so they have someone to talk to and be around in the gym

Over the years I've hired 2 PTs. One was great I thought and worth the expense. He pushed me harder than I would push myself on my own.
The other guy was OK, a bit lost mentally at times I thought and overall didn't really care for him.

A good, actual trainer is worth the money. I'm not talking about someone making $12/Hr at LA Fitness or something like that. A real bodybuilding coach is invaluable if you are serious about your physique. The problem is they aren't easy to find, nor cheap to hire.

The industry is saturated and it's tough to find one that is really good and actually professional. But once you do they can be quite valuable.
It also depends on your goals. For a middle aged housewife who literally needs someone standing over them to work out, then it's a good tool. For a dedicated athlete typically they will hire a coach instead and simply do their workouts on their own.
Most of my clients over the years are literally people who can afford to pay someone to do the thinking for them. Or want focused attention on a regular basis while they are performing complex movements. I can do my own taxes as well, I just don't bother because I'd rather pay someone else to do it.
