Hi guys, I am 20 years old and 6.2 Foot (190 cm) and 154 pounds (70 kg), so you could consider me skinny, but I actually gained about 11 pounds (5kg) in the last year or so, so that’s kind of a win for me. The thing is that those are not muscle mass, I just managed to gain weight eating (which is really really hard for me). It kind of worries me that I will end up getting fat (all my family members are a bit overweight and my father was kind of skinny when he was young too).
So I am really considering to go to the gym, take proteins, creatine and whatever it takes at least to get a jump start to feel motivated to continue. I started running half a year ago and even little things that show me results such as Nike+ managed to help me enormously to see how my stamina increased each single day. However I reduced my running to around once or twice a week because I started loosing weight running on a daily basis. (even though my appetite increased dramatically).
I only went once to my dad’s university gym and a trainer there helped me exercise a lot but I never came back because I pussied out after a huge 3 day muscle fever. Now I kind of regret it, the costs of a personal trainer at a decent gym here is pretty high for my student budget (20 sessions for almost 400$).
I need tips!

. Most student discounts apply only to gym memberships, not to personal trainers. I don't know why personal trainers are seen like a luxury thing over here, in a smaller town I lived the last years they were very rare and no gym offered them. I kinda held out to make this move to a bigger city for college to do this.
