Totally agree. Motivation is fickle so it really cannot be relied on. There are many ways to be active. Even if you do want to "go to the gym" there are ways to make it easier - so you need less motivation - and more enjoyable so it is a positive experience. That being said, a trainer can help get you to a specific goal extremely well, and help you kick start the "get to a point of liking it" stage.
