So unless you're making a hefty six-figure salary, here's how to avoid paying the $85-$100-plus that some personal trainers charge. If you have a job that offers a service, ask your potential trainer if they would be open to bartering.
Are you one of the following?: accountant; massage therapist; mechanic; repair man; bartender; hairstylist; financial advisor or chef, just to name a few...
If you contact enough trainers you will eventually find one that is open to exchanging services.
If you have an occupation that the trainer is not interested in bartering for your services, say you're a surveyor or sewage treatment plant worker, you can significantly reduce the cost of training if you refer clients to your trainer.
Other ways to lower the costs of getting in awesome shape for your wedding include joining a boot camp style workout.
These cardio and bodyweight-strength workouts have become very popular in recent years and some classes are only $10 per class as there are other people participating who are splitting the cost with you.
If you are set on working out in a gym setting, you can alleviate the cost of training if you workout with your soon-to-be bride or a friend. Most trainers who are the least bit competent will be able to train two people at the same time.
Even if you can't barter personal training for your specialty, you can pay only $30 or so per session if you workout with a partner rather than pay the $55-$100-plus that most trainers charge per hour.
If you are someone that has had workout experience and knows how to exercise safely, online coaching is another inexpensive way to lose fat.
Some trainers charge a flat fee to write a 12-week exercise program. Even if the trainer charges say $300 for writing a program, that $300 would only get you at most six sessions with a personal trainer in a gym.
Purchasing a Fitness DVD is another inexpensive way to get in shape. If you can motivate yourself to turn on the TV and follow the exercise DVD before work in the morning or as soon as you get home, this will be a very inexpensive and fun way for you to get in shape.
If you're still set on working out with a personal trainer but you are a low-wage income earner, there's nothing wrong with swallowing your pride and showing a potential trainer your earning statement. There's a chance the trainer will offer you an affordable rate at a sliding scale.
