Back before I had belly surgery, I loved to do deadlifts. I wanted to make sure that my form was right so I wouldn't hurt myself. I signed up to get a PT to check my forum. He jerked me around a bunch of other exercises and essentially refused to help me with my deadlifts. i think this is pretty normal for most entry-level trainers at franchise gyms.

I share this anecdote with you so you can choose a better trainer. Trainers make their money getting you to work with them for a year instead of actually helping you with one or two sessions. So you may be better of paying top dollar for a great trainer. Or, find a super strong deadlifter and convince him to help you.

hope this helpa
