Pros

Good team even though you are often working by yourself. Clients are great and it's a good place to learn. Flexibility is great and I'm learning a lot!

Cons

Pay and benefits could always be better

Pros

You get to work with a lot of nice clients. If you like talking to people and helping people stay fit, it's a great opportunity to do so.

Cons

I worked here "full time." -Horrific pay, horrific hours, exploitive commission structure based around a Wall Street-esque "dog eat dog" system that damages your pay by having an expectation to pester each and every last client over and over about signing someone they know. You are forced to contact people that used the program 10 years ago via call/text and ask if they want to come back, even though some other employee has been doing the same exact "check-in" messages once a week for the last 10 years, and the person still hasn't responded (but surely they're going to come back when YOU message them. Just bother them a little more!) -You will NOT start at 40 hours, or even 20. "Full time" comes after you've exploited your way up their system. -You will NOT start at a decent pay. You get forced to sign clients, but get no reward for signing the client, while the person that found the client but did none of the work signing them gets the full reward. You can only increase wages by signing new clients up that YOU found. -When a client quits (which, since most clients are over the age of 70, is often) The Perfect Workout slashes your wages. You have to KEEP signing new clients or else you don't get paid a living wage. This doesn't make me feel supported as an employee, this makes me feel like my ability to pay rent is never stable. But we're a "family," right? -I learned quickly that employees that work afternoons have an insane turnover rate due to predatory business practices, a lack of substantial wages, and a dead end waste of time. -When you make employees compete against each other, it harms overall teamwork and creates a culture of putting others down for your own success. You are not a person, you are a number in their pyramid scheme. -Horrific employee benefits. "Healthcare" is laughable. If you ever want a vacation, good luck finding any value in the poor excuse for PTO (but don't worry, the higher-ups can take some beautiful paid time off because of your struggle!) -You're a glorified cheerleader. All you do is stand there and count to 10 while someone does a workout. Riveting. There are thousands of other workout programs that will provide living wages to their employees. If you want to help people stay fit, do one of those, not this. Maybe a bit of a vitriol-soaked review, but please don't apply.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry to hear that your time with The Perfect Workout left you feeling unsupported, and we appreciate you providing such detailed feedback. While we recognize that every employee's experience is unique, we don't believe this reflects the experience of many of our team members who have built rewarding, long-term careers with us. Our compensation structure, career path, and performance expectations are designed to recognize both exceptional client care and business development, and we work to ensure these expectations are clearly communicated throughout the hiring process. Our trainers make a meaningful difference in our clients' lives every day, and we value the professionalism, care, and dedication they bring to that responsibility. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. If you're open to discussing your experience further, we'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Please email dana.wiltshire@theperfectworkout.com.
