I just need someone to go from scratch and make sure that I am pushing weights in the most effective and safe manner. Where to adjust the seat, what equipment exercises what muscle and how to use the equpment etc.
In which case, you won't need a trainer long-term for 'motivational' purposes. I would guess gym fees are outrageiusly high, so paying 250 RMB/hr for 4-5 hrs won't add that much to the cost. If you wanted 5hrs/week long-term, the differences add up.
Good luck: my philosophy: "when a thought of exercise comes, lie down until the thought goes away"
