But a trainer literally takes half an hour to an hour which will be the amount of time you spend in the gym anyway? I think it’s actually important to get the technique right as a noob, even for a few sessions.
If you don’t have the time to research, record, review your form - get a trainer.
Check out the app FitBod
Started lifting weights as a noob and never used a trainer
Aworkoutroutine.com. Just basically followed an upper and lower body split
Follow a program. You can find video instructions or written programs on bodybuilding.com
Kris gethin’s programs are good. So are Jim stoppani. There are a few others.. I’m sure other more serious gym goers will have much better suggestions.
+1 for the video tutorials on Bodybuilding.com, they are very helpful for learning.
If you need help with your form, then a good in-person trainer is going to be your best bet. You'll get more bang for your buck by learning the big movements from a powerlifting coach, Olympic lifting coach, or Crossfit coach (if certified in those movements). To look for one of those in your area, I would Google and make sure that they are certified/ affiliated with a legit organization, and they have decent Google reviews. Request a free session to try them out before purchasing a package.
If you're just looking for an online trainer to provide you with a program, save your money and use any of the recommended programs in the r/Fitness wiki.

Also, if you don't want a trainer and have limited time, you may appreciate the bodyweight programs in the wiki above. This can be a great start to building muscle and increasing strength while lessening your risk for injury.
Does McK cover the well-being expenses while traveling? Like D does $20/ day.
We get both
Bodybuilding.com is good but really just need a trainer for like a month then you can go off on your own haha
You don’t need a trainer! You can definitely start without it. Look up online programs. There are two main ways you can build some muscle
1)circuit training where you train every muscle group every time you workout. This is if you want to casually build muscle but don’t really want to get big. It’s good if you want to lift 1-2x a week
2) train a different muscle group everyday - major muscle groups are biceps, triceps, shoulders (3 of these make up arms) , chest, back, abs, and legs. An easy way to split it up is to do arms one day, chest and back a second, legs a third and then abs and core a fourth. This is a good way to build muscle since you can train each group to its fatigue point and have ample time to recover that particular group.
I agree with going on body building.com and trying to find a workout plan for each muscle group. Stick to the the easy ones and learn from that. Good luck!
