Depends on how dedicated you are working out by yourself and how much knowledge you have while you are working out. A personal trainer can keep you motivated. Plus it will help that you have appointments with him/her. A good personal trainer will keep the workouts fresh and exciting as well....All of this can help you see results.

I'd agree with Josh. It also depends on the quality of the trainer and on the client as to the difference and speed of results.

The previous poster pretty much nailed it, it really depends on your personal dedication. A trainer can help with motivation and accountability, probably the two biggest things people have trouble with on their own. Workouts get mondane, proper technique and intensity starts to slip, and even making it to the gym can become hard to do when on your own. A trainer will solve those issues with holding you acountable and also being your coach for your fitness goals, working with you not only on weight training, but helping you with a lifestyle makeover: nutrition counceling, supplementation recomendations, cardio frequency and obviously the weight training. If interested in training, 24 Hour Fitness offers its members a free Fitness Orientation with a trainer so you can 'test' it to see if you like it and if its a good fit.

A trainer can be a great tool to use in the gym, but just like everyone as said, if you don't follow the advice of the trainer between workouts .i.e. eating healthy, etc. you will only see partial results. A trainer is someone who can help guide and direct you to accomplishing your goals. They will help you to see that you can achieve whatever goal you set if you will work hard towards it. One of the most important steps in accomplishing any goal is to first prepare yourself mentally. If you want to wear a size 4, you have to see yourself wearing a size 4. Once you have prepared yourself mentally, half the battle is won. Then a trainer can help to bring your goal to a reality.

Usually much faster, reason being that a personal trainers education is based around how to tailor an exercise program for your specific needs. A good trainer will take you through the proper progression of exercises and intensities so that you get the most out of each workout. Further more some trainers have additional education such as nutrition that will help you to put a total package together.
Hope that helps,

I have to say that really depends on how often you train with your personal trainer, what sort of training you're doing in your sessions and what you do yourself when you're training alone. I recommend that clients choose a number of sessions to suit their goal. For example, if it's weight loss that you're looking for, depending on how far away you are from your goal weight, the more often you train, the faster you will see the results.
If you make the decision to spend money on a trainer, spend it wisely. Personal training should be an investment in you health and fitness, so take it seriously. Make it money well spent by doing everything you can to succeed, with and without your trainer. Look at your lifestyle and really focus on designing a fail-proof plan for diet, exercise, work and social life.
Your trainer will be able to help you more specifically when you've had a consultation. Good luck!

It all depends on your coach and your willingness to change. There are 5 factors to any fitness program (mindset, nutrition, movement, recovery and guidance). Find someone willing to help you in all of these areas and you will be amazed by how fast your body changes!

As long as the trainer you hire is knowledgeable and aware of what your goals are then you should find results are achieved much quicker than without a personal trainer. Most people have an understanding that it is important to exercise to be fit and healthy but few people know the best way to do it. Make sure when you pick a personal trainer that they vary their workouts and provide functional forms of training.

Probably more faster than training on your own as a personal trainer will push you where you won't push yourself, and this discipline is definitely needed if you're serious about seeing results.
Like they say ... "No pain, no gain" .... "You snooze, you lose" .... you get the drift. I like to say the more effort you put into your workouts, the more improvements you'll get out of it.

You will only achieve faster results with a trainer if you choose the right trainer for you. For example, suppose that you do not like to be pushed but then you hire a trainer who is determined to push you further. Without doubts the results of that relationship will be a disaster and you may give up exercising for once and for all. To illustrate, you may choose a trainer:
1. who will inspire, motivate, and educate you;
2. who you feel comfortable with;
3. who is a good listener and understands you, your motives, beliefs, and goals;
4. who has the ability to teach and bridge scientific knowledge into easy practical daily steps;
5. who is genuine, knowledgeable, and passionate about their job.
All the best,
