By simply signing up for the ft program, and reading the exercise descriptions (and purchasing a home gym so I can do the exercises) I was able to do everything with confidence and results. Although it sounds too late (you already signed up with a trainer) I would have recommended to just try the ft program without spending your money first. You'll be surprised at how well it works - even without a personal trainer telling you what and how to do it (the ft programs really do work!)

Explain your situation - they should be glad to help you. I don't think you really need a trainer - get a memebrship, get your free orientation and join their free program that usually comes with the membership. Good luck!
