Hey everyone-
Opinions and suggestions are appreciated.
I've recently joined a gym. I'm in good shape, but have no clue what I'm doing. I asked the gym about a personal trainer, and they had 3 or 6 month contracts. I was happy to sign up for once a week for 3 months- I figured this would get me to the point where I could take full advantage of all the contraptions the gym has without huring myself.
I met with the trainer for the first time on Friday. He showed up 10 mins late. He had no clue who I was- no one told him I had MS, and he did not know what it was. (I'm not holding this against him, just frustrating.) Otherwise, I liked him.
I meet with him again this Friday. I'll be interested to see if he's done any research on MS.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can tell him? Anyone with any experience with trainers? I've never joined a gym, let alone hired anyone professional to help me.
I've told him that I have balance issues, weakness/ numbness on my left side, and some cognitive issues. I'm not sure how he will translate this into the workouts he has me do.
Any help is appreciated.
