I was wondering if anyone might have some input into whether it would be better to go to a full scale gym or to a small scale fitness club for this situation.

I am trying to improve my stamina as well as my core muscles. I also would like to work on my range of flexibility. I am really aiming for some USAT gold and want a strict regime and intense training. Should I get a private trainer ($$) or just follow a set schedule?

Thankyou!

I think looking into getting a trainer may be what you want. They are usually pretty good about assesing your goals and helping to reach them.

Okay, the only problem is, is finding one around here. But, thankyou for the input.

Okay, I will try that; perhaps a YMCA?

You may find something there. Are there any gyms in your area that are devoted to weight training?
Not that I can find, I only checked yellow pages, but I will look a little further. I did email the fitness trainer at the Y, but I am still awaiting an answer.

My Karate Class is held at the YMCA so I have access to the gym, pool, and other classes as well. I try to go to the gym twice a week on the off days when I am not doing Karate. It does help.

The only difference between the possible and the impossible is one's will.

They used to have something like that, but it didn't pull through. But I sent an email to the fitness director and am still awaiting an answer from her. Hopefulley she will return the email.

where you do practice now, at our dojo we practice 4 days a week, and our sensei is a big fan of conditioning.
