- DMDonna McRaeSep 16, 20255.0I have been going to The Perfect Workout for years. Working one on one with a personal trainer is the key. Only thing I've been able to stick with after trying many other options. It's expensive, but totally worth it!!!
- APANGELA PERRYAug 21, 20255.0So I joined in Jan 2025 and this was my first experience working with a personal trainer. I like that the sessions are short and that I can feel the workout . My first month was brutal but once I got used to it, it became easier. Martin, Terrie and Evan are very in tune with my abilities and limitations. It took about 4 months before I really saw my body changing. They offer virtual sessions for when you are traveling but I haven’t used it as of yet. Maybe at the end of the year I will. Overall I do recommend them especially for a beginner or someone with an injury that they are trying to overcome. I think the best thing about my workouts is that my brain fog has cleared up.
- LGLalitha GonzalesDec 6, 20215.0Expensive, but SOOOOO effective. Great reliable trainers (I have only ever dealt with one, with a few substitutes when he is on vacation), they play to my strengths and build up my weak spots. I have seen amazing results.
- SWSonja WoodhamOct 28, 20215.0My trainer, Erik is incredible! He’s always pushing me a bit and doesn’t seem to be bothered by my complaining and wanting to slack off. He’s very kind and understanding about my personal issues and needs.
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.
How much does it cost?

I have an injury or limitation - is this still for me?
This is especially for you.
Our approach is low-impact and safety-based, making it a great option for those who have injuries or limitations to accommodate.
We work with many members who require modification to their routines. Our team of Personal Trainers are qualified to support your unique health history.
Want to speak with a certified trainer about your specific injuries or limitations? We recommend reserving a spot with a free introductory session and calling us at 844-693-0220. We’ll help establish important health history details before you even walk into your session.
I don’t have a lot of experience with exercise. Is this the right workout for me?
Absolutely! You don’t need any prior exercise experience to see results with our method.
Slow-motion strength training is incredibly effective and easy to adapt, making it perfect for beginners. Our certified trainers will guide you every step of the way, tailoring the workouts to your pace. Whether you’re new to exercise or a seasoned fitness enthusiast, The Perfect Workout is designed for all experience levels.
When will I see results?
Many of our members notice positive changes within the first 6 weeks, and some even feel the benefits almost immediately.
Everyone’s body and goals are unique, so results can vary. Your progress will depend on how your body responds to the workouts, your nutrition, and how well you push yourself. Remember, everyone’s journey is different, and we’re here to support you every step of the way! Consistency is key, so keep going, and you’ll see the progress you’re looking for.
Will I get too big and bulky?
This is a common concern, but rest assured, the answer is no.
Slow-motion strength training helps you build lean muscle mass, which will tone your body and boost your metabolism to burn more fat. Since muscle is denser than fat, adding muscle and losing fat will actually make you leaner and firmer. So, you can enjoy the benefits without worrying about getting too bulky!
Are your trainers certified?
Absolutely! Our trainers go through a rigorous education process that sets us apart.
Unlike many other certifications, ours includes extensive hands-on training with real people. We ensure our trainers are highly skilled through numerous written and practical exams. Plus, every trainer is AED/CPR certified and continually updates their knowledge with ongoing education. You can trust you’re in good hands with our team at The Perfect Workout!
