Highly recommend a personal trainer to help get you started, a few benefits:
-Having a set training program helps immensely knowing what exercises you're going to be working on over a set # of weeks so you can track progress. I don't recommend going to the gym and making up a workout as you go. You'll be more efficient and effective with a plan.
-Setting tangible short term and long term goals orientated to your specific fitness needs. Touched on it above but make sure you are tracking your weights so you can see where you are improving. Progress photos or measurements can help too, at times it can be hard to see the progress you are making day in and day out until you look back so I think this is crucial.
-Accountability, as Lew mentioned it can be daunting trying to get into a new routine and stick with it but having a third party to keep you accountable can help.
-Being more confident completing your exercises correctly and safely. It can be a little nerve wracking at first going to the gym especially if you have little experience, but after a few sessions those nerves will fade away. Extremely important to make sure you are doing your exercises in a safe manner.
Good luck and keep us posted.
