The whole bonkers thing about getting you to sign up for another 3 months while putting the weights way back down stinks of bullshit to me tho
Yup, that's the bit that makes it a bad deal.
Gym membership say £300pm for a posh one, then £75ph for the PT.
That's definitely in the ballpark.But if you're signing up to 3 hours a week up front for a period of months then you should expect essentially a coach instead of a polished OTP plan.
duncs-
I just can't conceive an individual needing 3 hours a week of PT time unless they're either elite or needing A LOT of guidance. It should be 90%+ working in the gym/doing the program.
I'm up north admittedly, but I thought I was paying a lot when it was £70/mo for my Olympic weightlifting gym - which was all coached sessions and with programming. I was in 6 days a week at the time and I didn't feel short of coaching at any time.
Coaching wasn't one on one, but they were always there. Just checked and even now it's only £100/mo.

What you get in terms of PT time and facilities make it sound slightly less mad, but I still think any vaguely motivated person could achieve those results while spending a lot less cash. You're results are obviously great btw.
The whole bonkers thing about getting you to sign up for another 3 months while putting the weights way back down stinks of bullshit to me tho. If I went back to any of my old coaches, the first thing they'd do is a quick bit of baseline stuff to assess where I was - if I told them I'd been training at home they definitely wouldn't half the weight I was using.
