Is this a good idea, a bad idea, or a horrible idea?

My trainer was working out at the same time I was yesterday and ended up working with me on pull ups and dips just for the hell of it.

They also have drawings for free training sessions and other ways you can win or earn them, although not very often.
Normally, it's $60/hr or $35 half/hr - or its cheaper if you get 2 friends to join you as a group.
