personal trainer (durham) (Chapel Hill, Hillsborough: chapel, live in, design)

[l18in]

I would greatly appreciate recommendations for a personal trainer who works in Durham. I tried Empower, but didn't have a good experience there. I would be willing to travel to Chapel Hill or Hillsborough to work with someone though don't want to join a facility outside of Durham. Thanks so much.

Why didn't you have a good experience? What are your expectations? Are you male or female? What type of training do you want to do?

Ashley Shade at 02 fitness is excellent.

Thanks for the suggestion. It just so happens that I live in North Durham, 25-30 minutes from O2 fitness, so it's probably not the best fit with respect to joining a gym. Will keep searching ;-)

Empower didn't feel like such a good fit, because it felt too much like a personal training factory with the person I worked with just doing her best to churn one person out after the next. I don't have a preference with respect to working with a male or female. However, I am quite out of shape and have always struggled with exercising so need someone who can design a program for and really help to motivate a beginner. It seemed like Empower, including their classes, is a better fit for people who are already fit and looking to improve. That's fine. It's just not where I'm at. Thanks for your interest.
