Pros

Gives proper training. No experience needed. You get free certification. Easy job to learn and you are not required to travel as a personal trainer for the client.

Cons

Starts as minimum wage. Does not give much promotion. The certification that they give can only be used within their own company. Just like other jobs in the area there tend to be superiority and racism. Makes it seem to look promising, but the longer you stay the more you realize that promotion only takes place if you have the right connections. No health benefits.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your concern, and compensation is so important to our company; that is by far our biggest expense. Although the pay does start at minimum wage, this is MUCH better than having to pay for certification like you do with other personal training companies. We are paying YOU to become certified! Furthermore, we offer many bonus incentives including: Staff Referrals, Client Referrals, Professional Development, and Nutrition Coaching opportunities along with room for advancement and growth within the company. However, we regret that you feel promotion opportunities are not granted fairly. We promote within, and in the last calendar year we opened 3 new regions with 18 new studios. We filled all of those positions by promoting from within the company. There are also leadership opportunities within the regions as Certification Supervisors, and there is no limit to how many levels you can arise in the Professional Mastery Program. We value our employees and want everyone to succeed. We only ever promote the most qualified applicants and offer as much transparency as possible to help our trainers trust our processes. In addition, we do offer health insurance to all employees who qualify by working an average of 30 hours per week.

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.
