Joining the gym need help

So I want to join a gym.
I went for a trip around America/Canada in October last year and in that month I was gone I put on some weight. So when I got back I decided to put on some running shoes and Started running. I run 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes and have gone from around 70kg to either side of 58kg. I am 22 years old and 170cm tall. I eat quite healthy as well.

I want to join the gym because I still have a bit of a stomach I have always wanted to get rid of and i want to be fit in general i don't think I can achieve this with just running, I want to go to the gym at least 3 times a week to start with while still running 4-5 times a week. My question is can anyone give me some advice on what sort of things i will need to work on when I'm at the gym? i have never been and don't know where to start. I also think that ill use a personal trainer for at least a little while not sure of there worth the money though.

Many thanks

Hey mate

I would cut down the running to around 2 days a week but run for longer. My split is

Sunday: Chest, Shoulders, Tris
Monday: Run
Tuesday: Back, Bis
Wednesday: Run
Friday: Legs, Abs

Edit: This was just an example though, basically comes down to preference.

Ideally you want a few days break between doing leg day and running, especially when you are beginning. Its pretty important to lift properly so you don't injure yourself, so if you have any mates who can show you that helps a lot. If not I guess a PT may be worthwhile, but probably expensive.

I've always found bodybuilders.com to be on the most useful resources on the net regarding training information. You can search for pretty much anything there ranging from beginners to full-on lifting advice and get great results

i'd also recommend the TL health and fitness subforum. they've got everything you need to know about losing fat, gaining muscle, eating healthy, and working out, right in the stickies. no bullshit, no absurd claims, just what you need to know to accomplish your goals.

Why should he cut running? Is it not effective?
