Sandy, yes I have a trainer at my gym (Balley's). I like this one because she does work you, but she knows when to slow it down a little bit. The other trainer I had, after the first workout I was nauseous and then I couldn't walk for 3 days. With Melissa, I do get sore, but not so sore I can't walk and I am not completely exhausted when I leave there. I have lost about 5 pounds and Rachel keeps telling me how toned my legs look. I don't know if you saw it on my facebook, but I actually tried on a bikini yesterday and it didn't look half bad. I didn't buy it though. I can't decide. I keep saying I'm 41 I don't think I should be in a bikini.
