Look at the results from a recent regional powerlifting or olympic weightlifting competition see if any of the top placing competitors trained at a gym near you and then go to that gym and see what kind of programs they offer. The rates are actually surprisingly reasonable for good coaches - often times less than a personal trainer. I'm currently paying $100/month for twice a week semi-private lifting sessions. The gym I learned at had a higher ranked coach and they charged $130/month for unlimited training.
If you can't find a local guy there are coaches who will work with you via video. You tape your lifting sessions and then they'll offer feedback. I'd hesitate to go this route if you're a total newbie. I think it's only effective if you basically know what's up and just need some tweaks.
