    I honestly don’t get the hype around The Perfect Workout. They have a bunch of 5-star reviews, but my experience at the Sewtelle location left me baffled. I was ready for the intro class to take about 40 minutes, and I even checked in online ahead of time so I wouldn’t waste a second. Spoiler alert: I still wasted a ton of time. I wasted an hour of driving for 10 min chat and walk through their "gym" and 9 minute workout! Yes, I counted. And that 9 min included time moving from room to room, setting up machines to my body's parameters and instructions from instructor all in 9 minutes! Riley, my trainer, was… well, let’s just say I’ve had more welcoming interactions with my Roomba. No smile, no friendliness, zero personality. I expect my personal trainer to act like they enjoy human interaction, not like they’re calculating how fast they can get me out the door. She didn’t offer a single tip tailored to me - not even when I mentioned my injuries. There was no plan, no personalization, nothing that made me feel like I was getting a “personal” workout. Honestly, it felt like I was just another number being shuffled through a generic script, and if friendliness and guidance were part of the job description, she must have skipped that day in training. The facility itself is not a gym. It's a set of tiny offices and you move from one room to another. Each room has 2-3 machines and it's claustrophobic. There is no basic amenities you could expect from a workout place - no changing room, no shower, no place to safely store your valuables. Don’t get me wrong - the concept of slow-motion strength training is scientifically solid. But you can literally do the same thing in any real gym, with lockers for your valuables and a space that doesn’t make you feel like you’re sneaking around someone’s cubicle. I’m in my mid-40s and the youngest person there. I could see this working for seniors who are intimidated by typical gyms, but for me, it was a frustrating, awkward, and complete waste of time.

    I’m going on 6 years working out here 1x week with Albert & wished I’d started sooner! I went from having osteoporosis to osteopenia & no longer take medication. The workout is challenging but Albert is my best cheerleader & is always encouraging. I can play pickleball, garden, & participate in physical activities with confidence!

Frequently Asked Questions About The Perfect Workout

This sounds too good to be true – Great results in 20 minutes, twice a week?

We understand the skepticism surrounding a 20-minute exercise routine. It goes against the grain of traditional beliefs. The truth is, if you’re doing more exercise than needed, your workout may not be intense enough. With many traditional methods, a lot of time spent during your workout is “rest time.” More rest during a workout can reduce muscle growth and cardiovascular impact. So you can either work hard during exercise, or you can work out for a long time – but you can’t do both. Intensity is key if you want to effectively boost your metabolism, improve VO2 max, and not only build lean muscle but support your skeletal health. Our approach is not only unique, it’s grounded in research. We train all major muscle groups through 5-8 exercises with minimal rest between sets. Our method and technology provide the perfect resistance for every exercise, eliminating virtually any risk of injury. So you’ll spend your sessions burning more fat and building more strength than traditional weight training. But don’t take our word for it! Come in for your own free Introductory Session. Experience the methodology first-hand, without any obligation.
