  yeah friends are definately a great help. But still, it wont be as effective with a professional beside.

  OPT is a great one, but he may be out of your budget. He has several trainers under him that are cheaper, like $100+/hr maybe.
  
  Marco_Simone just got his CPT certification from OPT but I don't know if he's coaching.
  
  Coach Jon Wong is also very good compared to most others you can find. http://www.coachjon.com. Cost? You'll have to ask him but I'm pretty sure it's $100+/hour too at least.

  Well, what did you expect? If you're shopping by price, then they're not the ones to look for. But you get what you pay for. They have a money back guarantee. If you follow exactly what they say but still don't meet your goals, you get your money back. How many trainers are confident enough about their expertise to do that?
