I worked with a personal trainer 2-3x a week for three months, and she totally changed my outlook toward different types of exercise. She helped me really push myself, and my body changed noticeably during those months. Unfortunately, I have moved away and can no longer afford the same type of training, but when I go to the gym now I try to remember the exercises she had me do and how to do them and how hard to push myself. It's more difficult without someone to spot me on my last few reps, but she really ingrained me with a love of weight lifting that has totally changed the way I spend my time at the gym.
If you can afford a trainer, do it. As long as you find someone who understands your goals and likes to explain things to you and talk to you, you'll enjoy it. Personally, I can't wait for a few years from now when I'm no longer working a second job and can actually afford the time and money to work with a trainer again.
