This morning I was at the gym early for my fit assessment. I had hoped for a little more. It was really a combination of a body fat measurement and discussion of goals. For our discussion, I mostly limited it to getting better balance in my workout to prevent the injuries that have plagued me over the last few years. Lose some weight. Feel good running again. That's enough for this.
She is supposed to schedule another in several weeks to measure my progress. I'm sure there is some sales pitch in there eventually.
As for the workouts, I'm tired. I've lifted the last two days and worked out each of the last five. The tired is probably more related to how early I'm getting up to get all this in with my work schedule. But I know what happens if I wait until later in the day.
Tomorrow morning it is back to the gym. Legs and cross training are planned. I would love to get on the rowing machine, but I'm a little uncertain about the knee. It has felt better the last two days than it has in many months. I'll probably keep doing what is working and leave changes to the routine for later.

Tom,
When I moved to Alaska many years ago, the gym that I joined made a big deal about their fitness assessment and personalized training plans. They found out I was a runner and bragged about how one of the top local runners was one of their trainers. I was looking forward to the whole process.
The guy did a bodyfat analysis, talked about my training for a few minutes, and basically said "You seem to know what you're doing in training, but I'd suggest dropping a few pounds."
That was it. At least he didn't try to sell me any personal training sessions.
