I mean, I alrady have a gym membership, and it's a couple hundred more for the trainer (for 24 sessions)... are the results really going to be that much better that I should shell out the extra cash?

I don't really need the motivation, I'll go work out either way. Basically, I was presented with a program that keeps me from plateuing, so I get the most out of my workouts. I don't trust just looking up that sort of thing online, I want to learn the correct way to do certain exercises so I don't hurt myself.

Assuming there's no mandatory period that you have to pay for (in other words, you simply pay $70 for each hour you attend...you don't have to agree to go 10 hours, or 20 hours, or whatever)... Then it's definitely a good idea. Since you've never been to a gym before, a handful of sessions with a trainer will give you a good foundation on the various equipment, and will show you the proper way to do different exercises correctly. Proper form is more important than the amount of weight you lift or the amount of reps you do.

This all depends on how consistent you are in exercising. Personally, I lose motivation for exercise very quickly, and so I have a hard time losing weight. I have looked in to getting a trainer.
If you think that you can put your best into it, then a trainer might be a waste of money. However, if you don't have the willpower to exercise consistently, then a trainer is a good idea.

If you figure it'd work.
I'd suggest going to a session of the trainers first to see some before and after results with some other clients of his/hers.
Plus you have to have time to go along with the trainer.
XP.
I just exercise at home in the floor, and it works pretty well.
Jump rope, bicycles, stretchs, military crunches.

The good thing about a personal trainer is that after you have spent all that time with them, the training they give you remains. They will show you the proper way to exercise, and workouts that suit your body. In the end I would say it is definately worth the extra funds.

I say no. Trainer is just a walking encyclopedia about being fit. All his information, u can get from the internet. and he's just 1 person, usually is opinion against 10ppls opinions doesnt even match. Ive read where Trainers tell them to do one thing..but ppl suggest otherwise. such as Military Presses behind the neck..very arguable. Ppl online can give u insight on ur options. Plus, he'll push you to work hard, its good, but, the best motivation has to come from you. Why pay somebody to motivate you? if u need motivation, look at ur life n decide what you want to change, and use that as motivation for gym workouts.

Typically a personal trainer will force you to push yourself harder than you would alone.

What do you hope to honestly gain from this?
