    Big shout out to trainer Gwyneth and Perfect Workout. I've been attending PW for 2 years and since joining have grown functionally stronger and enjoy much better stamina. Gwyneth is one of the best trainers I've had so far. I'm one of those clients who really needs to focus on interoception in order to perform my best and Gwyneth's approach is wonderfully supportive of my needs, ensuring that our 20 minutes together are used to the fullest. She's laser-focused on each and every one of the activities, giving me continuous feedback on everything from posture to speed to time remaining, and in a way that is encouraging and supportive. Workouts are tough, as they should be for this kind of training, but I do not feel unsafe, particularly with trainers like Gwyneth, who is highly observant and seeks my feedback on my condition. Highly recommend!!

    I have been extremely happy with the program and results the past ten years attending The Perfect Workout. I find the one-on-one approach, consistency with standing appointments, and tailored weight training sessions with a trainer are convenient and work. The results have built muscle, bone strength, balance and coordination and have helped me feel my best without injuries. The trainers are encouraging and reinforce proper form in a clean and quiet atmosphere. I highly recommend.

    You will definitely gain real strength even at only 20 minutes, twice per week. The trainers are very knowledgeable and each has their own style. At 20 minutes, you don't really dread the most strenuous exercises and it keeps you coming back, and it doesn't disrupt your schedule much. This matters because showing up consistently for 20 minutes beats missing longer workouts because you can't beat the fatigue or don't have time. The only negatives I can say are that the range of equipment is limited and it isn't cheap, but the results are real, more than I can say for other personal training experiences in my case.

    I’ve been a Perfect Workout client since 2017. I highly recommend that you give it a try. Workouts are personal and very safe.

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.
