Don't bother signing up for a personal trainer at the Cardio Express, Wethersfield. They get you to sign up by seeming to care and want to be involved in actually training you... then they never show up for scheduled appointments once you've paid. I've had 3 no-shows by the trainers for scheduled appointments in a month. One had the nerve to tell me that he was too busy managing the trainers (all 2 of them) to meet with me that day but he would find someone to take over my training the next time. I did actually see one of them today, but he was telling a woman in front of me on a treadmill that he was canceling her training session but he would see her next week. Ok, so who is paying these trainers and what are they actually doing??? The one session that I did have just after I signed up (you pay for an hour of training) was 20 minutes long, maybe. Then he told me to spend the rest of the time on a treadmill and he and his buddy were going to the gas station to buy gum. Wow. Lots of brain power and hard work, guys. Thanks for getting me in the exact same shape I was in last month when I signed up... I am demanding my money back.
Pros: membership is cheap, the girl at the desk is friendly
Cons: personal trainers are HORRIBLE - don't sign up until they fire these morons, parking is difficult
