Pros

if you are lucky to be in a studio with nice people, that's a pro. that's about it.

Cons

drink the kool aid mentality. tried to raise issues about the workout inconsistencies and higher ups didn't care. tried to talk with my regional manager about why i wasn't happy with the company and was asked why i didn't just quit. they are looking for people to power through and not ask questions. the pay structure changed so much that i had no idea how much i should be getting paid or how i was getting paid. impossible to reach bonuses. they hire people with no experience and or PT certs (sometimes, some are real trainers who workout themselves) and it shows... it was a struggle to be there and overall gave me a lot of stress, very little money, and no work life balance. no diversity in upper management, but there are in the trainers... that should tell you a lot.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that you had a less-than-desirable experience at The Perfect Workout. We are a science-based company and only conduct exercise plans proven effective. You’re right that our pay structure has changed recently. We’ve developed a compensation plan that gives our personal trainers the opportunity to grow their income higher than our previous pay structure. To avoid any confusion on our new compensation structure, we’ve also launched a system for trainers to be able to see which compensation structure they are on. Candor like this helps us continuously improve our processes. Thank you for your time spent at The Perfect Workout.

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.

Pros

Great clients, good training program for onboarding, coworkers were friendly

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.
