Not quite sure what you mean by one arm lifts, but if you mean shoulder press, 10-16kg is a pretty respectable weight. Do it with a dumbell in each hand though which should help you balance. For all over strength and stability exercises like squats and deadlifts are also good and will make your kit seem less heavy. You also should work on arms, eg bicep curls and tricep pulldowns as that should make moving your kit around easier.
But as you have a personal trainer, you should really get the advice from them as they will be able to show you how to do the exercises properly. Good form is always essential to get the most out of weight training.
