  The areas that end up being the most complex with regard to training end up being properly designing progression (how you increase the intensity of your workouts), rest and recovery (including extended breaks from training), injury and recovery, and yes, form. These are also the areas in which I've seen most trainers spend the least time and offer the least value. Most are little more than motivational coaches -- a high-margin, easy-to-provide, but ultimately low-value service (you've either got motivation or don't, and either way, you've got to drag your ass to the gym or wherever else you train). If you do start light, progress slowly, get critiqued on your lifting form (and realize that everyone has an opinion), and sort it out for yourself, you'll generally do pretty well.
