Always discuss your options with someone you trust knows what they are doing....(perhaps a certified personal trainer?? hey hey.. ;)
Your decision will greatly depend on your final goals. Are you starting at square one with a larger amount of weight to lose?
Are you currently pretty fit and needing a change up? Are you training for a specific sport, or competition?
Each of these goals will require very different training styles.
-Heavy weight low repetition training ( 5 by 5 as an example) specific body parts split into separate training days over the week
-Full body resistance training with high repetitions and lower weights
- H.I.I.T
- Plyometric training just to list a few.

Our bodies work best in response to shock, once your muscle has gotten used to the load put on it, it no longer has to 'work' and therefore has reached its max potential. This is why you are always aiming to push the limit. Lift one more rep, one more pound, one more set etc....
Another way to shock the system is to completely change your training styles.
If you regularly lift heavy, try a more athletic approach for a few weeks, with high body weighted reps, incorporating some plyometrics.
If you normally strap your running shoes on for daily runs, try putting on a pair of boxing gloves and drop into a kickboxing class for an overall ass kicking like no other.
Trying new things is always a bit intimidating to most, so do yourself a favor and grab a buddy and pick your class -
look into local boot camps, spin class, boxing class, kettle bell class,martial arts class or even try a personal training session, See what a REAL workout feels like :)
