or is that included in the membership? I was with another fitness club before before I moved but only went to run on the tread mill or do some weights. I live in Southern California now so if anyone could suggest somewhere where I can sign up? Im on a low budget though. I need someone who knows more about health then me. Im a fit guy but just want to build a little more muscle. I usually go running but I want to do more than that.

The simplest way for you to learn will be through online research and magazines. you can find lots of useful information in a library as well. and yes most of the fitness clubs do charge a fee for personal training. Usually this charge is outrageous. you should try to find a partner yourself and learn from alternative sources. you can also take a class at your local community college which will be cheaper than going to a gym and getting a personal trainer.

Not at the gym close to me. They have where you pay X amount of $ for a membership and that covers everything. They have group work out sessions and personal one on one training and its all included in the membership fee's.
