I spent $2800 over three months on a personal trainer, but got much better results with 2 back-to-back boot camp sessions. Very professional, but also a lot of fun - they are serious helping you reach your goals, but they don't take themselves too seriously. I was impressed that they were able to accommodate older and slower (ok, I admit it, pretty overweight too) folks like myself, while seemingly killing the people that thought they were already in good shape.
Pros: Nice people that really care, multiple fitness levels accomodated, top-notch program
Cons: Only offered at select times of day.
