I think I am one of the only people on this board who started with and continues to use a trainer. I made this decision because I was brand newbie to lifting and just coming back from a hamstring injury. It was essential for me to have guidance so that I did not hurt myself. We ended up not doing NROLW and I allow him to guide me towards my goals. Even so I am learning the essential stuff like Deads and Squats and how much weigh to use and what to look for in form and what is good gym etiquette. The little things like how to put on collars, how to lift weights off the rack, etc are things l learned from him. This gave me the confidence I needed to go into the free weight section of the gym and lift with the boyz on my own. It is a great feeling.
It is not the cheapest way to go but if you can afford it, I think it is way worth the money for a good trainer.
