Not The Perfect Workout - Personal Trainer The Perfect Workout Employee Review

No investment in trainers continued education, this is more of a sales job than a Personal Trainer job. Pressure from Regional Management to get refferals and getting inactive clients to become active clients. The company doesn't invest in its self, each studio is left to its on for studio upkeep. If another trainer refers a client into the studio for their "Free" introduction session and you are the one who trains the client and gets the client to purchase a package of workouts you the trainer gets nothing for the referral but the trainer who referred them in get the referral bonus. Upper management pretends to actually care about your ideas and needs, however keep your ideas to your self because upper management will take your ideas and implement them and you will get no credit. If you are a Personal Trainer and looking to train clients and actually help them achieve their fitness goals this is not the place for you. Also 90% of the trainers that work at The Perfect Workout are NOT national certified Personal Trainers, they are certified to teach only The Perfect Workout "Slow Motion Strength Training". The company also holds trainers responsible for client weight loss to be able to get their bonuses however the company has the client sign a client agreement that the company takes no responsibility for client weight loss. So the company keeps its money weither the client losses weight or not. However the trainers gets no bonus unless they produce a 10lbs weight loss. Also, most all studios are located in old abandoned locations or old malls that have little to no foot traffic keeping rent for the studios low. The company doesn't invest in its studios or trainers. Also, their are no real opportunities of advancement with this company. The most one could be is a Facility Manager (studio manager) and that position is just a glorified trainer. 90% of the clients are senior citizens.
