I just got a membership to a gym and will be starting on Tuesday. I've never tried to lose weight by going to the gym but I am trying to lose at least 30 pounds before June. Any ideas on how to approach this?? Any ideas on how to work out at the gym since I'm new to this whole thing?

If you have certain parts that you want to target they can help and let you know what kinds of foods will help. It;s good to talk to your doctor too. god luck [ Mckick's advice column | Ask Mckick A Question ]

They may be on staff but they certainly aren't free becuase you're a member, with trainers and nutritionists, you get what you pay for- Personally I have always found getting a nutritionist unnecessary if your trainer has good knowledge of nutrition (Which they should). Look at the prices per session the trainers are going for and decide whether you want to do it or not, since you have basically no gym experience at all I would recommend getting a trainer to not only teach you diet and exercise- but also how to act inside a gym; things like not slamming weights on the floor, not crowding someone using a bench, cleaning the weights off the bars, things like that.
