Do you think gym coach is reaping money out of me?

So I started going to this gym nearby me. I initially got a discount of around 15 percentage. So I had struggle to continue but now I am going regularly. But since December. I was approached for diet plan. So I paid for diet plan then whey protein then fat burner (I have belly but I am not fat) then again next month's whey protein and creatine. My subscription ends in Feb last week. However I got approach for a customized workout out plan. It's half of the 6 months gym subscribtion. The Personal training is twice of that. But it's like I have already spent 2 of my gym membership. Honestly it's totally on my diet which I fail to follow and that's why I haven't made any progress. But do you think I should take that customized plan?

Get a book on health and fitness, you don't need to pay anyone. I learned
everything I could years ago. Now at 63 I'm fit and work out everyday.
Sometimes at home, but mostly the gym, just for the energy it gives me.

Gotta go, see you tomorrow.

@littlepuppywantanewlife It's a very important thing to do. It is good for the mind AND body.
My new thing is trying to get off sugar.

@DogMan I am struggling with alcohol atm..I want to quit it badly

@littlepuppywantanewlife You can do it as soon as you make up your mind to do it.

I have a couple beers everyday, and a couple puffs of weed. I have been smoking weed
for 50 years. But it all takes a back seat to important stuff. And I never drink enough
to get drunk, some people can't do that, so if you are like that, you need to decide
to quit, since it does not help your life. I have done a lot of drugs in the past also.
But none of it ever controlled me. Work, sleep, nutrition and exercise always comes
first. Which does not leave much time to get wasted.

@DogMan I never did any drugs and i don't smoke at all. The only thing is do is alcohol. I love beer. But i have been drinking alot it's like half bottle of whiskey or vodka and i haven't been eating with it. So it's totally like wasting myself since i have to reach home after that. I started working out and other good things last year. But I lost my motivation and idk what to do 😞

@littlepuppywantanewlife Just pick a good time everyday to go to the gym, and get ready
and go. Never think about going, just change your clothes and go. Never have I done that
and said, "I wish I wouldn't have gone" then go home and have a healthy meal.

I go to the gym in the afternoon, have 2 beers when I get home while I'm doing chores,
then eat dinner, watch TV and go to bed early. I love getting up early and drink coffee
while watching the news, before going to work. It's mind over matter.

@DogMan Sir you are absolutely correct. Also I quit going to gym because they were asking too much. But as you said it's all about get ready to go situation. I agree with you. There are few things I don't really post on comments but will write you inbox. 🙂
