Pros

I've been with The Perfect Workout for seven years now. I began as a part-time personal trainer and, over the years, have moved into the facility manager and certification supervisor roles. I've held a job since the day I turned 16 and for the previous 18 years of my life. Prior to finding The Perfect Workout, I worked in sales, retail, restaurants, I coached high school athletes and I've worked as a personal trainer in a traditional gym setting. Nothing compares to the support and team we have at The Perfect Workout. Through my discussions with friends, family, and former coworkers, jobs in which you're truly supported, allowed to voice concern to executive members, encouraged to provide honest feedback are few and far between. I've now had the privilege of not just working with amazing people as team members, but I've also had the privilege of changing people's lives. If you're seeking an opportunity to truly make a difference in the lives of others, The Perfect Workout provides the opportunity for you. Part of the position can be viewed as sales. However, most of the "selling" comes from understanding strength training, how our bodies adapt to exercise, and getting the most of the people you're training. If you posses the ability to motivate others and to help them achieve your goals, that will be a majority of the selling that is required. In essence, if your passionate about exercise and helping people reach their goals, then the concept of "selling" our program becomes non-applicable. Pros: -A set schedule, the opposite of shift work. You'll be able to create a schedule that works for you and your life. -Work life balance: You are required to NOT work off the clock. You are encouraged to live your life after clocking out. You do not need to respond to emails, texts, or anything regarding The Perfect Workout once you're done with your day. You are not expected to be on-call, ever. -We are not demonized for taking days off, in fact, your team will rally around you and help you fill your shift for mental health days, sick days, etc... -Our team supports a growth mindset, we want to help build each other up and improve our overall lives. You will have a support team around you to help you with anything you need. -You're allowed to fail. Failure leads to growth physically, mentally, and emotionally. If a mistake is made or if we "fail" at something, it isn't viewed as bad. The opposite, we get to use it as an opportunity to improve ourselves. This is encouraged. -Our pay structure allows team members to make more money than any other personal training position available. Most of the selling comes from being a passionate trainer who seeks to help others. We provide you the tools you need to succeed, again you have support all around you including free and on-going education. You're paid a base amount for the hours you work and receive commission for every personal training session you perform a week. There are opportunities to vastly increase the commission you receive and multiple opportunities to receive bonuses for the training you provide.

Cons

-Any con I've ever experienced has lead me to discuss these issues with my regional manager, our COO, and/or our CEO. Their doors are open for discussion and they'll provide you the tools you need to overcome any obstacles you experience.

Does not value employees

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.
