Need to target certain areas

I do a gymnastic based workout every day.

I am starting to see that while I get an awesome work out, I should take at least one day a week to do something different.

I have thought about contacting a personal trainer one day a week to keep my workouts different. While tumbling does hit basically all the muscles, there are certain areas that are getting shafted. For example, I do aerial cartwheels every week. This is a no handed cartwheel that I do from a standing position, from a hop and I do tons of drills preparing for it. Since I push off of one leg, only one butt cheek is getting the work. I have a seriously underdeveloped butt cheek. Another issue is that my triceps get so much work with back handsprings and handstands. I have noticed that my inner arm/bicep area never gets touched. I really need to lift some weights to hit that portion of my arm. I am hopeful that a certified fitness expert will be able to notice these things without me telling him. I want to do an hour private class where the guy just works me. It would be nice not having to tumble one day. I get where I have trouble doing a straddle, split and bridge since I have pushed it all during the week. I really just want to target specific areas and maybe work on heavy cardio. Who knows, if the instruction turns out to be beneficial I might up my days. I am not going to compete professionally. I just do tumbling for fun and to look good.
