Re: Hire personal trainer?
Sam, there's a crossfit affiliate in Raleigh. Probably charge $100/hr 1 on 1 or $75/hr each for 2. I don't see any Oly coaches listed for your area. (edit: I may have mispoke about rates. Could be $50 1 on 1, and $75 for two.)
I think the ideal relationship between trainer/trainee is that they are developing the goals and program together-- but the trainee has taken charge of his own fitness, and getting technical help.
The typical relationship, given someone with vague wants "to get in shape/more tone", seems bound to fail (even if the typical trainer weren't an oaf)-- and it is remarkable to me that it is actually a very worthwhile stepping stone to some. It gives them just that little bit of confidence to start finding their own way.
