Pros

TPW is a terrible place to work and does not value its employees. They set up shop in some of the most expensive areas but then pay their employees slave wages. These clients are paying over $500/mo for 2 20-minute workouts a week, yet they pay their employees barely over minimum wage. The studios are usually in office-type buildings and they are BLEAK. No amenities. If you ask where all of the money goes - they'll tell you "oh we spend so much money on marketing". PLEASE. They don't even give out holiday bonuses. Really? Not even a $5 Starbucks card? The owner is a quack job and you better believe he has a very expensive home in one of the most expensive parts of San Diego. Yet I could barely pay my rent. Go figure. STAY AWAY!!

Cons

Everything is a con with TPW

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. After reviewing our compensation plan, we have found it to be generous compared to other companies in our industry. Trainers are compensated a base pay above minimum wage and rewarded for performance. They are also provided opportunities to grow their income with commissions and bonuses leading to much higher wages. We do appreciate your candor and will take your feedback into consideration moving forward. If you would like to provide any additional information, please email dana.wiltshire@theperfectworkout.com.

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.

Pay was minimum wage with no commissions. I was selling expensive packages really well but didn’t get a cut.

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.
