Just get a training partner....free...and basically, the same thing. You shouldn't need a trainer to be motivated. I NEVER use a spot and do just fine. Just use the Smith machine or go slightly lighter.
I just saved you $1000 or more. ;)

Here's some free advice. Write down everything you eat for a week, then post your diet here. I'll tell you what's wrong with your diet.
Supersets, coreballs, and spotters...only do so much. Radically change your diet for 6 months. I bet you'd be shocked at your results.
That will work, guaranteed. However, most would rather employ a trainer, than actually eat 6 meals a day, every day for 6 months....good foods. It's easier to hire a trainer, then tell yourself, "I'm really going that extra mile."
Nothing wrong with having a trainer, but I would guarantee a solid diet...from a shitty one, will ruin any "training guru" as far as, the gym routine benefit you'd receive.
Great diet for 6 months>Employing a trainer
Most just can't hack a good diet though, plain and simple..haha They'd rather "wonder why" they can't make better gains.
