It depends on what you're after and how serious you are about your fitness club. I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're a girl if its bally total fitness, so if you feel that you really need to cut down on your weight/stay at a healthy image, then go for it. $50 an hour is on the high end of the scale for a personal trainer, but consider the following:

1. Personal trainers charge more than $50 at many other places per hour
2. You only need to meet with your personal trainer once a week or even less after the first few times. The first few times is to get your workout plan, schedule, and check to make sure that you're doing your exercises correctly. Afterwards, you only meet with your trainer to update your workout plan and make sure that you're on schedule. So you only meet once a week or less - as few as once a month even.
