See results is too vague. You will "feel" better after just two or three sessions.
Well balanced diet does not mean you will lose fat. So no matter how much muscle mass you put on (which can increase your weight) if you do not lose the fat it you will never see "results" from a purely aesthetic view point.
I always utilise this point by stressing I have a six pack. However, because I am not a gym freak and certainly enjoy my food, I have a little tummy covering it all up!!!
Look at Geoff Capes, looked like a fat bar steward, which he was, but had more muscle mass than you, I and three other folk put together.
However, focus on the benefits of your heart that ALL exercise gives. Fortunately, the only person who will ever see this is the mortician. Keep your heart healthy and the rest will follow. It does not matter if you can not see outward results.
If you wish to elaborate on what results you are after, I may be able to assist you further.
My initial advice, and I may be vilified is IGNORE EVERYTHING YOUR GYM INSTRUCTOR TELLS YOU. And I mean EVERYTHING.

Hi Sair5412. Be careful you don't annoy him, it's wardy and he hates gyms & instructors. Make him cross at your peril - he'll wish all kinds of awful things on you and your family. Do a search under all different forms of wardy and you'll see. (Although a lot of them have been removed by the editor)!
pterodactyl, after I am certain you had to look up the correct spelling of your excellent name in a dictionary, may I advise you that you really are a nobody. I have never even seen your name on here, so I assume one of two things.
1) You are a troll masquerading under a jurassic nomenclature
or
2) Your views and opinions are of such a low interest value, I have merely passed you by.
Well sair, I am anti gym for many reasons. Firstly, and I do not wish to be a snob, who were the people who undertook "sports studies" at school. It tended to be the thickies. Even Loughborough University, the leading school for sports science, offers very low entrance requirements.
Gym instructors blind people with unnecessary science read from some American lead magazine. As long as you work to whatever heart rate your fitness levels are, you do not need to know anything else. They harp on about metobolic rates, glyco-index blood sugars, protein-led muscle crampations blah blah blah. They are useless, hence their minimum (or just above) wage reflects their professionalism and true status. It is also a completely unregulated industy yet they all seem to have numerous letters after their names. Big bloody deal.
I am vehemently anti-gym due to the fact their is nothing you can not do what you are able to in the great outsides. Fair enough, I live in the country, but why does somebody spend 50 pounds per month to run on a treadmill when they have probably never even been in a natural wood? and most gyms are full of plebs and smell of sperm.
