To the OP, unless you want specific training (for a sport, more explosion in your muscles, etc) don't go to a personal trainer. They are just a waste of money. If you have plenty of money, then go ahead. But just wanting to lose fat while keeping your muscle doesn't require a personal trainer.

This should get you started. But there's a lot of information on the other parts of the forum.
Depends. For mass, I say 3- 5 repetitions. For muscle endurance, I say 8- 10 reps. For muscle maintenance, I say 12- 15 reps. Of course, this is according to the ACE guidelines and was given to us at the 2005 ACSM personal trainer summit in NYC. This is how personal trainers work. Where did you get
your information from?
