I started very conservatively because of back injuries, elbow RSI, and a knee problem. But I've been able to gradually work up to relatively heavy weights. (Not on my knees, I'm still in the "gradually strengthen with light weights" phase with that.) If it hurts in a bad way, I stop immediately.
I also gained a lot of confidence in terms of pushing myself when I discovered that Adrian can quickly fix minor back kinks before they start a sort of cascade reaction leading to major pain.
My YMCA has on-staff trainers, and the membership is $50/month. I suspect there's a lot of variation in terms of how good their trainers are, though.
