    Several months ago I got a personal trainer to do up a training plan for me. Recently I found the same plan available for free online. I had paid around €50 for it, is this normal?

    It's probably very common tbh. There are lots of good workouts availible online. And the better one have a lot in common with each other. It makes sense for PT to have a couple generic workouts, for use in generic situations

    The fact it's availible online doesn't make That particular routine less effective for you. Had it been individualised with some unusual exercise swaps it wouldn't be any more effective. Sure it may be availible for free, but the chances that you choose that specific workout or one like it out if the 1000's online, is quite small. You are paying as much for the point in the right direction than anything less.

    "Give me a program" is probably the least useful service a PT offers. There's very little scope for improvement over other options without more info (outside of injury/sports specific situations) and they have no control or input on your actual gym sessions. Some of the more established trainers here, like Hanley, COH, Transform, etc. Frequently post programs or info like that for free. It's simply not the valuable part of the service they offer.

    Maybe you could start a log on the 'fitness logs' section, good way to keep motivated
