Thanks for your comment! I appreciate you adding to the conversation.

You are absolutely correct about what a personal trainer can teach you, and that concept applies across the board to anything that could be taught by someone else. There are a great many things that any given person can learn without the assistance of other people, yet the experience that people get by learning from a specific person or from a certain environment is where the true value lies.

If someone enjoys providing that value or that environment, and other people enjoy it, then that is a classic win/win situation!

From my experience with person trainers, I often found they didn’t really help me excercise better or teach me anything I couldn’t figure out for myself, it was their attitude and motivation that made them worthwhile.

Of course I am a self motivated learner, so maybe for other people who don’t read and research in a near compulsive manner might disagree.

Thanks for sharing your example of how this has worked in your life.

It just makes sense, ya know? If we’ve been enjoying something for years, why wouldn’t we keep enjoying it over the long term?
