I had a personal trainer for about a year and a half several years ago. She was really good. I was completely out of shape and terrified of making an idiot of myself in the gym. But she showed me how to safely use all the equipment and a bunch of exercises with free weights & she really pushed me a lot harder and farther than I would have gone on my own. I've recently rejoined a gym and would love to work out with a personal trainer again, but can't afford it at the moment. So if you have the opportunity - I say go for it.
