Answer
Hello Johnathan,

It is very important that you work with a qualified trainer in person. This will get you better more customized results and reduce the chance of injury.

Ask the gym to recomend a trainer who is experienced enough to train a younger person safely and get the results you need. Ask a lot of questions to learn about your training. Set short and long term goals after doing an initial strength and fitness test so you can measure your results.
