Personal trainers are great for getting motivated, so I hope you enjoy it
I got a free personal training session at my gym when I joined (it was part of a promotion), and I can't believe how much I learned in just 1 session.
Make sure your personal trainer goes over diet and proper form for using equipment. Also, make sure the person teaches you how to warm up and cool down. I never realized that I was warming up and cooling down the wrong way. The warm ups and cool downs reduced overall muscle fatigue.
