In my experience, male trainers expect people to train harder and women are a little more reluctant to push you to increase weight or do more reps.

Though good trainers should be extremely knowledgeable no matter their gender.

A trainer of the same sex will know what is needed to build the body you want because the have done it.
While one of the opposite sex will only know from what she's been taught.

Plus, do you really want the distraction?
