I asked a question on here about PT just over a year ago and got some really helpful advice. Was hoping those who have been using a PT in the longer term could guide me to whether my expectations are realistic.
I have been working with a PT for around 3 months. I have enjoyed it but I feel like it is getting really repetitive and was wondering if this is normal or I just get bored easily/am too demanding?!
When I started, they said that there would never be 2 identical workouts no matter how long I trained and while that is broadly true, they pick the same exercises each week and just vary the format so it does feel repetitive to me. There were a couple of days where they got some other equipment out and I even expressed how much more I enjoyed the variation but then it was back to the exercises I am less keen on. They don't tend to use much in the way of equipment and its making me wonder whether I should save myself the expense and go back to working out at home with my own dumbbells! The other side is obviously it is beneficial to have someone push me that much harder on something I don't like so much and less inclined to do...
So I am torn! Do you enjoy exercise with your PT or is it a necessary evil to push past for better health?!
