I have been working out with The Perfect Workout for almost a year now . I feel stronger and definitely see the changes in my body. I worked with Contessa yesterday and want to give her a shout out for being amazing in detail! She makes sure that each exercise is performed correct, making adjustments where I need to for the optimal workout and avoiding injury, which can often happen at regular gyms! I look forward to see how much more Improvement I see over this next year! read more

This is response to generic AI response this business posted under my original review... That response actually reinforces my original issue. The problem was not that the workout is short or that the space is small by design. I understood the concept going in and was open minded about it. The issue was the execution. Spending nearly an hour commuting for a 9 minute session that included room changes, machine setup, and instructions is not "efficient" from a client perspective. Efficiency is not just about how short the workout is, but about how the entire experience respects someone's time. The purpose of the intro session itself should be typical full workout (full 20min) and a 9 minute intro does not come close to providing a realistic feel for the actual experience. It doesn't allow you to reach the level of intensity, fatigue, or post workout effects that are central to this method. As a result, it's impossible to evaluate whether the program is a good fit before committing. More importantly, personalization was talked about but not demonstrated. I specifically mentioned injuries and received zero tailored guidance, cues, or modifications. That is the core value proposition of personal training, regardless of the protocol. Precision and coaching only matter if they are actually delivered. As for the environment, it may work for some people, but for others it feels cramped and under-equipped, especially given the lack of basic amenities like a changing space or secure storage. That is not a preference issue, it is simply something potential clients should be aware of. I'm glad this model works well for your existing members. My review reflects my real experience so others can decide if it aligns with what they're looking for. For me, it did not. I would also encourage The Perfect Workout to actually read and engage with customer feedback with understanding rather than responding defensively with what feels like a generic AI reply. A thoughtful response that directly addresses the specific concerns raised would go much further than a polished but impersonal explanation of your business model. Feedback like this is an opportunity to improve the experience, not just to restate your marketing talking points! read more

I love Perfect Workout. It's a 20-minute personal training session, and it hits every essential facet of an effective, time-efficient workout. It delivers a comprehensive workout that balanced strength, cardio, and mobility--ideal for busy schedules. I have experienced improvements in strength, cardiovascular fitness, and movement quality. I can vouch for all of the trainers at the West Los Angeles branch, especially Todd with whom I train most of the time. The trainers ask about goals, prior injuries, and current activity level, then customize the plan accordingly. They are always punctual, courteous, and clearly experienced. Their approach is structured, but adaptable to how I feel that day. They pay constant attention to posture and joint alignment, with modifications for any minor discomfort or mobility restrictions. Bottom line - If you're short on time but want a high-quality, results-driven workout, a 20-minute personal training session with a professional, competent trainer is an excellent investment. You get expert cueing, efficient programming, and a balanced approach to strength, cardio, and mobility--delivered with safety and individualized attention. read more

I've been going to Perfect Workout (West LA) for over 10 years. Perfect Workout is a trainer-based, slow motion resistance protocol. During my time there, I've had several different trainers. Absolutely all of them have been highly professional, extremely focused on my training and safety. In the instances where I've had an injury (never from the Workout), the trainers have modified my regimen until I've recovered, and EVERY trainer asks about any injuries or body issues before each workout. I look forward to these workouts, twice a week. We have developed different routines for the different days, so that there is not an issue of complacency. Over the years, my trainers have also examined adjustments to machines to improve my workout in terms of seat position/angle; actual weights, rhythm, etc., to optimize my workout. I can't speak highly enough about my past and ongoing experience with Perfect Workout. I consistently recommend them to others. read more

Very nice trainers. It was too expensive for me in the end, and the rules about freezing your subscription weren't too consumer focused. If I had the money, I'd do it. read more

In August 2023, I had a bone density scan and was diagnosed with osteopenia and I had to do something. I wanted to start strength training, but I knew I needed some sort of trainer because I wouldn't push myself as hard as was necessary to get the best results. I started doing a little research and found the Perfect Workout. I went in for a consultation and decided to join. They didn't hard-sell me at all, but I knew this program fit my lifestyle really well. I've been going religiously ever since and I'm obsessed. I will have another bone scan this summer and am anxious to see the results, but I do know that I've gained so muscle that my doctor was shocked. When I told him about the workout I was doing he looked into it and at my next appointment he told me he was really impressed with the program and the science behind it. Here are a few things to know about it: 1) THE TRAINERS: They are incredibly knowledgable and helpful. I usually workout with Albert, who I LOVE and is my sweet baby angel, but I've worked out with several other trainers (Maher, Todd, Steph, Sean) and they've all been so great. It's actually kind of fun to mix it up once in a while to get a different perspective. I don't know their exact credentials in terms of education, training, etc., but you can tell they'e all highly qualified and the process to be a trainer at TPW is very thorough from what I've seen. Point is, you're in great hands. 2) THE ENVIRONMENT: It is calm and focused. There aren't a lot of people around, and it's quiet so you can really focus on getting the most out of your 20 minutes. There is absolutely no feeling intimidated by people in better shape or doing more than you, because you're only ever in the studio with 1 or maybe 2 more clients, and you're each so focused on your own workout with your dedicated trainer. 3) THE WORKOUT: It is INTENSE. It's an incredibly hard 20 minutes, but that's exactly why it works. And who can't give something their all for 20 minutes? For me, knowing I worked as hard as I could makes it even more rewarding. 4) THE COST: It is a great value. People often make the mistake of comparing the cost to $0. That's not the math I'm doing. I'm comparing it to what it might cost to get similar results in another setting. If you consider the results you'll get and the totally dedicated focus of a highly qualified trainer, TPW is much less expensive than a traditional trainer. Before the pandemic, I worked out with a trainer 3 times a week for several years, and spent about $15,000/year. I always felt like it was worth it because I was in good shape and it was an investment in my health. That was at a crowded gym, and took 90 minutes each time between getting there, doing my workout, and getting home. I'm getting way better results with TPW, for less than half that cost and about 1/3 of the time. It is so worth it! The only drawback is the location. This applies to me specificlly and may not be an issue for you at all because they have so many locations (another benefit!). I go to the Westside/Sawtelle studio. My drive to and from the studio takes twice as long as the workout itself and much of that time is spent in the tenth of a mile right around the studio because of the congestion. It's so annoying, but even with that factored in, it's still shorter than a traditional workout with a trainer at a typical gym. I have just come to accept that as a trade-off for the incredible benefits and results I've achieved, but I would love it if they opened another studio in Culver City, Marina del Rey, Westchester or Ladera Heights. :) The bottom line is that this program is innovative, completely accessible to all fitness levels and you WILL see great results. read more

I have been training at Perfect Workout for about 10 months now and my experience has been excellent in many ways. First of all strength training for 20 minutes has worked for me. I am leaner and stronger! My trainer is Lisa and she is the Bomb! She is always there, I listen and trust her as she gently pushes me to do better and better. The other trainers are polite and engaging. The space is busy with clients coming in and out and because we feel good about ourselves we are polite and engaging too. read more

I work out at the location on Sawtelle and everyone here is wonderful and encouraging. I actually look forward to my workouts - even though they are TOUGH. Every trainer here, is great and I like them all for their various ways of keeping me motivated durning the workout. I highly recommend The Perfect Workout for anyone that is short on time and/or doesn't really like to work out (like me) for a great full body workout. read more

I love working out with Stef! She is motivating and tough and kind and exactly the person you want training you. I started coming 3 years ago after my husband joined and had great results. After a few months I felt stronger and more confident. The parking is easy, workout is quick, efficient and customized to meet your specific goals. Each member of the staff is super friendly and approachable- I have worked with many and everyone is great. I would wholeheartedly recommend! read more

My wife and I have been doing The Perfect Workout for several years by now. It is intense but quick!! You and the trainer are the only ones there, so there's no chance for others judging you. Usually we do about 6 machines (or weights) in the 20 minute session, and the trainer is always watching closely ("that shoulder is rising again...bring it back down") for proper form. Also, they always ask right away if you have any particular problems (sore spots, recent twisted ankle, whatever) so they can modify the workout accordingly. I strongly recommend The Perfect Workout. read more

I love this slow motion system and have benefited greatly from it. I started two years ago after 8 months of cancer treatment and was even able to continue with it through a second course of treatment when I had a recurrence. It has kept me strong and focused on life. read more

Just reiterating my previous review. This is the best workout I've ever done and I see results daily. I love when the Trader Joe's people ask me (I'm 80!) if I need help and I say "of course not! I can leg press 300 lbs!" Thanks Sean! You are the best trainer I've ever had!! read more

Albert is my trainer. He is excellent and very professional. I rely on him to get the perfect body, which is very difficult since I'm 86 years old. Highly recommend read more

I work out with Sabrina at the Anaheim Hills studio, and she is just a ray of sunshine, I really feel like she helps me to reach my goals. But more about the perfect workout, it really isolates specific muscles and you have a trainer who trains with you for 20 minutes knocks it out of the park, I've been feeling stronger ever since I started. The way in which you do the slow isolated movements really kicks your butt in a short amount of time but really builds muscle, I'm thrilled that I found The Perfect Workout. And I just love working out with Sabrina, what a great heart she has! read more

I absolutely love The Perfect Workout! Jennifer and Tiffany are wonderful! It's so exciting to see yourself getting stronger and to see the numbers! I work with both of them and they take the best care to make sure we are safe and pushing ourselves! The only thing I would recommend is that those two lovely humans create for The Perfect Workout a series of stretching exercise that could possibly be on a YouTube channel hosted by The Perfect Workout and plugged into their website and app. That is the only thing missing is stretching out my muscles after these awesome workouts! Thank you so much and keep up the great work. read more

Parking Spots - Signs 30 - The Perfect Workout 43(Tree)- Dr. Silver - Available until 5pm 12 - Underground - 1st Tandem Spot - TPW FuRaiBo - 3rd Tandem spot from back fence on the right - TPW All of the trainers are positive influences, and the workouts are low impact and yet designed to exert muscles to failure in under 30 minutes. The workouts are quick, efficient, and they are flexible in terms of scheduling. Another plus was that they are dog friendly. read more

Great explanation of the perfect workout. I've been practicing what they taught me and it only takes about 20 minutes twice a week to greatly improve your strength read more

Skeptical that this is real. I've called 4 published numbers, including the one on this site, and actually from 2 different phones, and they all ring once and drop. Closed? read more

What a great set up! Super encouraging trainers (Albert) and only 20 minutes per weight lifting workout. I feel stronger and well taken care of! read more

I love trying new workouts (yoga, barre, crossfit, etc.) but have always had a hard time sticking to one method for more than a month. I finally decided that it was time to get some one-on-one training and work with professionals that could motivate me to stick with it! I've now been working with the trainers at The Perfect Workout for about 2.5 months (2x/week) and feel amazing! I've worked with Albert and Gabe primarily but have also worked with Cadet, and they are all super encouraging, kind & knowledgable! They really are the best. I also love the fact that the workouts only take 20-30 minutes and the trainers are there for you every step of the way. That being said, the exercises can be pretty brutal (you're going until muscle failure) so be prepared to feel that good kind of soreness the following day. The other great thing about the studio is that you're typically only working with (at most) one other trainer & client in the facility, and there's no music, so you can really focus on your workout without any distractions. As far as parking goes, they do have a few spots right by the studio that are reserved specifically for clients, so don't hesitate to ask them where they are. I live close by so I know where I can find street parking easily and I usually walk a few blocks to get there. With the help of The Perfect Workout, I now have much more energy, and my family and friends have noticed that I'm leaner, and I'm feeling stronger than ever. I've actually lost about 6-7 lbs, which I feel is significant for my 5'0" frame! So if you're looking for a safe, effective & efficient workout with fantastic trainers...definitely give these guys a try! :) read more

I'm 53, work 75 hours a week and not only I don't have time to go to a gym, but I also hate going to a gym. I don't like crowded, noisy places to being with. A Facebook friend once posted: "if you hate going to the gym or don't have time to go, this might be perfect for you" and he posted a link. I checked it out and I signed up. The West LA studio is the closest to my work. I go twice a week. I requested Albert as my trainer. He's been nothing but wonderful. He understood my weaknesses and goals and started helping me achieve them. It's really hard to discipline yourself. I wish he could be there with me 24/7 when I want to have that dessert or extra glass of wine. He's not pushy, yet very convincing and encouraging. Because of him, I stopped putting 4 bags of sugar in my morning coffee. I started drinking much less alcohol than before. I still have problems giving it up entirely, but I'm much better than before. I first noticed that my pants started falling off and I had to carve an extra hole in my belt. I bought a scale (never cared to have one) and started weighing myself every day. In 4 months, I lost 16 pounds. People started noticing that I was slimming down. I did start to have more energy and was definitely less tired than before. 99% of the time, when I train with Albert, no one else is in the gym, so definitely no crowd there. :-) There is no loud background music either. I love how quiet and peaceful it is. I love how they keep track of everything you do on a tablet. I have definitely been getting better at all the exercises. And of course, the weight loss proves it all. Now, I have to buy new pants. :-) All in all, I love Perfect Workout, but most of all I love Albert. He's been very supportive and helpful in achieving my goals. And it doesn't hurt that he's a beautiful man, either. :-) read more

I have been a yoga junkie for years, but my frequent practice caught up to me last year when I experienced a couple of injuries that temporarily halted my practice. After speaking with my doctor and physical therapist, I decided I needed to find a new workout that would be SAFE for my injuries while they heal, help support my joints, and keep me strong, healthy, and flooded with all those endorphins I'd been missing since I had to quit yoga. I tried a few different programs, including an at-home high intensity workout, cardio machines, and Pilates, but nothing really fit the bill for me until I found The Perfect Workout. I work out twice a week with Raymond and honestly, it's been life-changing. I was in pretty good shape when I started and was skeptical that a 20 minute workout twice a week would really keep my body in the same shape it was when I was practicing yoga 4-5 hours a week. The Perfect Workout proved me wrong--I am now in the best shape I've ever been in. I'm so much stronger--it is really a joy to be able to pick up and carry heavy things in my daily life. I've had random strangers make comments to me remarking on my strength. I love the way I look, too; I have so much more muscle definition (and I hear about that from strangers, too!). The workout is intense, but the results are undeniable. It WORKS. I love having a trainer who keeps track of all my weights and settings so I don't ever need to think about my workout--I just show up, do the work, and leave. Raymond is a particularly wonderful trainer and has been great about helping me modify exercises to keep my injured joints safe and maximize my recovery (I am back to full range of motion in all my joints now and have been able to put off surgery indefinitely thanks to the strength gains I have made at The Perfect Workout!). He keeps me motivated, gives me tons of encouragement when I need it, and is a genuinely warm and caring guy--I feel like I have a built-in gym buddy whose conversation helps me keep going even when the exercises get really tough. I've worked with several other trainers at TPW and had similar experiences. The gym itself is private, quiet, and no-nonsense, just like the workout. Parking is easy; there are several dedicated spaces for TPW clients and it's nice to always be able to find a spot even in busy Sawtelle. My experience has been so great my husband recently started training with Ray too. And there's no price I can put on accomplishing all my strength and fitness goals in only 40 minutes a week instead of hours and hours at the gym. I came into TPW skeptical but I give it my highest recommendation! read more

Wonderful people. Clients and trainers. Keeping up my strength end endurance is super important for my wellbeing. read more

The Perfect Workout - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Leesa Mayer I am 63 years old & have had 4 joint replacements in the last 6 years. I was looking for an exercise program that helped me regain my strength & confidence. I have been working out at the Perfect Workout for three months & I have honestly never enjoyed exercising more - make no mistake - it is the most intense & difficult 20 minutes you can imagine & yet I look forward to it every time. I leave there feeling on top of the world thanks to my personal trainer Cadet. He is the most caring, knowledgeable,& encouraging person ever. He carefully pushes me beyond me beyond where I think I can go. Cadet has inspired me to continue on my journey to be the best version of myself. The Perfect Workout is a perfect option for those looking for an effective & life changing exercise routine. read more

Soon to be 80 years olf, the trainers at The Perfect Workout have given me back my mobility, even with two metal knees and degenerative scoliosis. In addition, they introduced me to Personal Trainer Food which prompted me to lose more than 20 lbs and get my diabetic numbers under control. Janet H After my wife joined the Perfect Workout, I decided to give it a try and have been very satisfied with the results. The exercise routines keep me stronger and more limber and, although in my 80's, able to continue working with university rocket engineering students. Charley H Thank you Stephanie, Marcello, Courtney, Albert and Raymond...all terrific trainers. read more

This is my first time at this location. Originally did this 22 minute workout in Florida, but finding Albert, my trainer, and this location has been just what I needed. I suggest anyone who wants a serious resistance workout while being time conscious come here and get right. The trainers are all 100%. The facility is small. No crowds. No BS. read more

OMG! After years of my hubby speaking about super slow and all its benefits, we found THE PERFECT WORKOUT! 22 minutes of muscle fatigue is grueling!! My trainer Kaday hands down makes the minutes roll by. This beats a gym any day and the results are chisel proof, I'm loving the results! Thank you!! read more

Do I love to exercise? HECK NO! Been a proud member of the couch potato society for all my life! But I reached the age where I can no longer eat what I want and still remain in relatively 'decent' health/physique. To cut this comment short, I've been going to the WLA Perfect Workout for almost two years/once a week. Have I transformed to an exercise loving person? Nope. But I definitely got stronger and is able to run a 10K without passing out which was what I originally told my trainers. Being stronger and healthier were my original goals and they help me achieved it! What I love the most about The Perfect Workout is obviously the trainers. They never EVER yell at the customers which is something I truly appreciate. If they even yelled at me once, I would have walked and never looked back simply because I have my own image that screams back at me and make me feel bad already. No need for others to do the job. The trainers (Ray, my upmost fav) are always soooo supportive that I actually feel guilty if I don't go to my sessions. The workouts are short (around 20-25) min but they are HARD/PAINFUL. The trainers will constantly be pushing you to the limit so it never gets easier (a question I ask every week, why isn't this getting any easier???). But the trainers are always there to make sure that I don't get hurt during working out. Hence I have never been injured, just super sore muscles every week for 2 days post workout. Bottomline, if you prefer supportive (non-yelling) trainers that will constantly push you to be stronger and healthier, try Perfect Workout. read more

Cadet and Albert have vibrant personalities, making every workout session a blast. We talked about goals regarding my hobby, cosplay. They have helped me on my journey to becoming a Saiyan warrior! read more

I am a 64 year old woman, and had been advised by my doctor for over a year that I should consider some form of strength training. I decided to check out The Perfect Workout. The concept of 20 min twice a week was very appealing to me, as I have never really liked to "work out"! The one-on-one sessions in a small, private setting is, by far, SO much better than a noisy, crowded gym. Both Stephanie and Tasha are excellent at pushing me to my limit (in a gentle, encouraging way!) and there is NO WAY I would get the same results on my own! For me, this truly is a "perfect" workout! read more

I've been working out with the folks over at The Perfect workout for more than a month now, and I love it! I have a long history with fitness and wellness, but have been unable to workout like I used to due to health issues and recent physical limitations. I had read about this style of exercise over the years, but had never practiced it, nor had I ever heard of a facility focusing on it. After hearing about The Perfect Workout I decided to give it a shot, based on the no-impact, slow-motion-rep-to-muscle-fatigue program, it's something I can physically do. And it's awesome! I definitely feel it working during my session, and for the next couple of days. And it's easy to supplement with at-home workouts, per the CD & guide, or at a fitness center, mimicking what you've done with the trainer. read more

I've been a client of The Perfect Workout WLA for almost a year. The entire staff is extremely motivating and very friendly. I have to give a special shout out to my trainer Tasha. She keeps me on target and has helped me reach my goal. I'm down two sizes and have never felt better! I just turned 60 and have as much energy as I did when I was in my 40's! I highly recommend this style of workout. 20 minutes twice per week. It doesn't get any better than that! read more

As a working mom with 2 young kids I have a hard time fitting exercise into my schedule. I heard about The Perfect Workout from a friend who was referred by her MD so I used his name as a referral and got a free workout! It was amazing. It really is only 20 minutes and i got more burn out of each muscle group than I ever got at pilates. I just went to my 2nd workout 3 days later and I was still sore (in a good way). Each workout is maximum intensity because they push you to muscle failure. Then they switch machines and start fresh on a different muscle group. By the end you are noodle. And the best part -- you ONLY do it 2 TIMES a week max! Because your muscles need to repair (grow) and they can't if you don't let them rest. Best workout ever! read more

I am very pleased with my experience at The Perfect Workout, West LA Studio. I had not exercised for a while and was feeling flabby, sluggish and overweight. After a few months I felt significantly better. I noticed the biggest difference while skiing. Legs didn't tire and I didn't have to stop. 2 20 minute workouts per week seem to do the trick. While my principal trainer is Marcello who is the best, I have also worked with Raymond and Albert who are also terrific. They all push you to your limit in a positive and gentle manner rather than using a screaming drill sergeant approach. I could not maximize the impact of each exercise without the trainer. It has become a collaborative effort. At 68 both the technique and the trainers have worked for me. Gordon B. read more

As a woman over 55, I was concerned about losing muscle and strength. I like the program at The Perfect Workout because it is strength training, it uses my time efficiently, and the facility is clean and quiet. You can have a good experience with any of the trainers, but I have to give a shout out to Albert who is friendly, upbeat, and tuned in to what motivates his clients. If you're simply curious, sign up for a learning session. And if you work anywhere nearby, you are lucky because a workout fits neatly into a lunch hour. read more

I have worked out with Albert in West LA for about a year. He has been a great coach and pushed me (safely) to keep upping my goals. I didn't need convincing about the benefits of weight training, having enjoyed great results in the past. What was new and great for me at this point in my life was the slow motion approach, and the focus on form, which meant I could avoid aggravating some existing physical limitations and still make progress on strength and firmness. I am back into my favorite clothes, so that is what it's all about...and having good energy to face my life! read more

I needed a strength training option that would not exacerbate previous injuries. I have been working with Marcello for just over a year and I appreciate his attention to keeping the workout safe from injury. I also wanted a non-drug option to treating my osteoporosis and I will soon be tested to check improvement. I am not a "gym" person and I like the individual training without music, mirrors or lots of people. I highly recommend TPW for those of you who want focused, safe training that individualizes the workout. read more

I was a dedicated couch potato until I found out about bone loss. I am 77 years old and since going to The Perfect Workout I have bettered my yearly bone density test. Twenty minutes twice a week is very doable with the expert help of Ray who keeps me going. I recommend this workout to keep your "old" bones strong with strength training and for overall well being. read more

I have been a very satisfied client of the Perfect Workout for several months now. Although the workouts are limited to approximately 20 minutes, I feel exhausted by the time they are over. I am seeing results in my physique, energy level and overall health. I only wish that I had started this quick form of intense workout sooner. The staff could not be nicer, more professional or accommodating. Albert, my trainer, has taken me to a whole other level. read more

Training with Albert twice weekly at The Perfect Workout (PW) is one of the most important commitments I've made. After receiving a diagnosis of osteoporosis I searched for a scientific based weight-bearing exercise program that would fit into my busy work schedule. Perfect workout was the answer. After ten months of working with Albert (for only 20 minute sessions) I feel more fit, look more fit and am more fit! Having a knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainer who is invested in helping me to be healthier has been key to my success. Plus, it's always a pleasure walking into The WLA PW studio where the staff is professional, friendly and upbeat. read more
