Honestly, in my opinion having a personal trainer not only shows you what to do, but its all about motivation. I've been goin to the gym for some time now and I started with a personal trainer and now Im on my own now. In the past 6 months i've managed to drop 30 lbs on my own. Those 30lbs where dropped through going to the gym 3-4 times a week and working hard for about 1-2 hrs. The best thing to do Phil is start with a trainer and see how it goes. Sit down together and work out a program that works and that you like and in no time you can work out without a trainer. Also, as I said before its all about motivation, you have to "Want" to loose weight/ Gain strength.
