Great opportunity but it takes time to make good money - Personal Trainer The Perfect Workout Employee Review

- This company allows you to build your schedule. You can work as little or as much (up to 40 hours) as you like! I work about 25-30 hours a week at 4 days a week and I love it. It still gives me enough free time to pursue other things in my life (i.e. school) - Co-workers and management are all INCREDIBLY NICE and SUPPORTIVE!! Seriously, I came into this as a complete newbie but all their advice, constructive feedback and the positive atmosphere helped me excel and become confident with my clients. It is so refreshing to have a drama-free workplace and one that truly wants their employees to succeed. - The company holds monthly workshops to continue/better your education as a trainer. These are great when I start to feel like my job is “repetitive” or “boring”, management takes the time to teach me how to make the job more enjoyable - You get to wear comfortable/athletic clothes to work! After certification they give you a $150 voucher to get clothes with company logos. - the clients themselves, in every studio, are all so pleasant!! I have a fun time getting to know each and every one of them and it’s very rewarding to see their progress and help clients reach their goals - the program/workout itself is science based and extremely effective. So it’s easy to be behind the company and justify your work because the company genuinely is not trying to scam anyone but rather provide an effective, time efficient and safe workout. - you pretty much work most shifts alone, sometimes one other trainer will be on shift, so the work atmosphere is relaxed and independent which is nice because you’ll never have someone micro managing you or breathing down your neck - your success is based purely on your attitude and willingness to work with the opportunity given. As long as you have a positive attitude and are doing your best the company & management will never negatively criticize you or take hours away - you are allowed to BE YOU when you train!! There is no script to follow; yes you have to count a 10 second cadence to keep clients on track/form BUT your motivational talk, and how you decide to interact or teach clients certain things is up to you with the information you’re given. And no one, not even management, will tell you you’re wrong for “coaching” a certain way. As long as it works for you and your clients you have the freedom to train how you want! - the certification process itself is extremely thorough. They really make sure you know everything about the science of superslow, working with injuries, etc. to set you up for success. And they pay you for it! - you are given small incremental raises (+0.25 to your hourly) if you do educational units, get referrals from clients, have a client lose 10 lbs, etc. so yes...there are ways to increase your pay - they only promote within the company. They never outsource for managers so if you work hard and want to eventually become a studio manager, regional manager, etc. the company will reward you! - if you ever cover a shift at a different studio for another trainer they offer mileage reimbursement to pay for your gas! - they pay you every friday! - they have basic health insurance benefits for anyone who works 30+ hours
