I hired one this year and found out that I really didn't know that much, as Prae say's, "you don't know what you don't know". I've learned so much in the last year or so and having a blast!!

Yep you are never too old to learn.just wondering what's the cost in general to have a trainer help

I have the odd aches and pains popping up, elbows or knees once in a while, but overall am pretty happy with my continued progress. My attitude has always been, if you think your age is gonna make you slow down then it will. I don't think about my age and it hasn't been an issue yet. My biggest pet peeve is when a shitty looking 20 something comes up to me,and says"wow, you look good for your age." WTF. For my age? I look better than you at your age nimrod.
