Pros

When I read the ad for personal trainer with The Perfect Workout I got really excited. I've researched little bit about the company and a lot of their values really resonated with me. I was playing with the idea of becoming a personal trainer, but I didn't like the approach of the big box gyms where they just want you to go online, get your certificate and you're good to go. Seems irresponsible towards the clients. That's what I really appreciate about The Perfect Workout that they put a lot of effort into the certification training. Make no mistake it requires a lot of commitment on your side, but if you're truly passionate about fitness and helping people it won't be an issue. Another great thing is how warm and welcoming the atmosphere is in every studio-everyone is genuinely nice, which makes for a positive working environment.

Cons

Haven't found any - very impressed!

Thank you for your feedback! You’re right that we put a lot of effort into our certification process. Since it is required for our personal trainers to become certified, it is vital that our employees are properly trained and gain the most value from our certification process. We are honored to have you as part of The Perfect Workout family!

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

• The clients are genuinely a joy to work with and often the most rewarding part of the job. • The workout method is unique and structured, which some clients respond well to. Though, it is not the single best workout method for everyone as the company likes to claim it is. • You’ll learn fast—mostly because you’re expected to handle a lot right away.

Cons

• Heavy micromanagement, even for experienced trainers and supervisors. There’s very little trust in staff decision-making. • Pay is low and roles are part-time only, but you’re expected to give full-time availability and energy. • Constant turnover makes it hard to build a stable, consistent team environment. • Advancement opportunities are limited, and even leadership roles come with minimal added compensation or autonomy.
