It's great for beginners who have no idea on where to start. They can teach you the correct forms, and show you alternate exercises to mix up your routine.

But also for experienced people who have plateaud or lost who need extra motivation to keep going.

Just gonna speak from my personal experience. Goal ko talaga is basic/general strength & muscle gain, or at least di humihina habang pumapayat ako. Mainly doing novice-to-intermediate weight lifting with my 1st year or so exclusively doing basic compound lifts - squat, bench, dead, overhead press, lat pulldown, barbell rows. Wala akong balak maging competitive - just lifting to look better naked.

I've never needed a personal trainer. Natunan ko yung basics from the r/Fitness wiki and the a few, good quality YT channels for form videos. I also film my own working sets and sometimes post them on r/formcheck to get decent, crowdsourced feedback. In the end, my form isn't perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not be injury prone.

This may change as I get stronger over time, or if my goals ever change, or for any number of unforeseen reasons. But for the vast majority of people just trying to get bigger & stronger for health, vanity, etc., a personal trainer is a luxury, not a necessity.
