Is this typical?
I had one session with a personal trainer and I feel like it was not a typical type of training?
They had me flipping huge tires, and dragging like 200 lbs chains....um....and I felt like they were laughing at me or something? Is this type of training going to do me any good? I'm not training to compete....

is it beneficial to those who arent gong to compete? yes
is it something a trainer should do with a client the first time? hell NO
before you comitt i would sit down with this trainer and ask them to show you the kinds of workouts other clients are doing that have been there for a few weeks/months

You have never flipped tires SG? Get with the program girl. 
I would definetly ask the 'trainer' what the hell he/she is doing.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that this trainer is trying to do something different to help motivate the trainee.
The exercises mentioned are good exercises (I think), depending on your goals. Pulling chains is kind of like pulling a sled, I assume, and pullinbig had me doing that in one of my first sessions.
Whether or not this trainer is right for you depends on lots of things including (1) your goals and (2) what you think of the program.
