Pros

Many great coworkers and clients. Very intense but beneficial workouts that only last for 20 minutes.

Cons

Management has poor communication with employees. During the holidays it slows down and so does your money. High turnover rate with their employees. Some people only stay here for a month and they leave due to the pay structure. Your a robot you repeat the same script over and over everyday to clients it gets tedious!!!

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your concern, and compensation is so important to our company that is by far our biggest expense. The average hourly rate in our company is currently $19.47. Since this is the average there are naturally trainers who make less than this and trainers who make more than this. Many trainers that are on the lower side of the $19.47 average tend to be in certification, which even though the hourly pay for certification is the current minimum wage rate, this is MUCH better than having to pay to get certified like you do with other personal training companies. Furthermore, our compensation is right in line with entry level pay for personal training companies around the country. In addition, it is concerning to us that you feel there is a lack of communication between management and the trainers. Each month you attend a Regional Meeting, at which the CEO gives a forecast of upcoming studio and region openings, as well as launches major new campaigns, announces important promotions, and highlights examples of the company’s core values, from amongst the trainers. We are always looking for more ways to better communicate with the trainers because it is of utmost importance to us that you feel empowered to do your job well.

Pros

I work with a truly amazing team. I feel like the company values are in line with my own. I think the executive team is innovative; I also feel they truly listen to individual team members and take into account their experience when making decisions.

Cons

For my role, this is not a particularly high-paying job.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at The Perfect Workout. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed working with clients, valued the onboarding and training program, and had positive relationships with your coworkers—those are all areas we intentionally prioritize. Our compensation structure is designed to support meaningful, consistent engagement with our members. The focus of our model is on helping clients actively use and benefit from their workouts, and roles are structured around delivering that experience rather than transactional outcomes alone. This approach is intentional and reflects how we align expectations, responsibilities, and sustainability across the company. We appreciate the contributions you made during your time with us and wish you continued success moving forward.
