Not quite a personal trainer but a few months ago I found an Olympic lifting gym where we work in small (<10 people) classes with at least one proper qualified coach in each session. I think this is the ideal arrangement as you get the attention of someone who knows what they're doing along with the social encouragement which pushes you on but is also a great thing in itself.

Side note: doing my first competition in August, something unimaginable for me at the start of this year.
