The Perfect Workout

Debra and I have been training together for about a year and a half at the Del Mar Perfect Workout. I train both in NYC and Del Mar. I believe Debra is up there with the best. I have weight trained since 1990 and been dong SuperSlow since 2000. I have trained all over the world. Debra’s eyes are always watching my form, she doesn’t let a bad form slide by. Her knowledge of our anatomy always surprises me. She is an advocate for a healthy diet. I always thought I was pretty good about nutrition, but over the years slid into some bad habits. Our casual conversations helped get me back on track. The Perfect Workout keeps my body in good shape!

I think the trainers are great here, but I think unless you are older (perhaps 50+), or need to build up muscle strength, this doesnt really offer much benefit in terms of great weight loss. I have been going here for a few months now and dont think it has made much difference. The standard cardio mix with core exercises was much more effective. It is a shame I cant get out of my subscription so I can use the money to go back to a traditional trainer. Also — avoid the associated food they ‘Perfect Trainer Food’… it is awful.
Update: — This place is good for certain demographics and something is always better than nothing… but… if you want value for money — go find a decent trainer elsewhere and do the work — otherwise you are wasting your money here. I put on weight and when I went back to regular exercising after doing nothing but the Perfect Workout session, found that I was more unhealthy than I had been when i started with them. If you want to fool yourselves and waste money — go to PF. if you are serious about getting in shape — avoid it — I found it to be nothing than a scam!

I’ve been working out here for the past six years, and it’s changed my life. I used to spend hours and hours at the gym, and had to keep increasing what I was doing to get the same results. By the time I tried The Perfect Workout, my weight was up about ten pounds due to perimenopause, in spite of all my efforts. Well, with just this protocol it’s gone back to what I weighed in my early twenties (and I’m 53 now). I only go once per week and still get great results, with my only other exercise being a short cardio workout (if I get around to it, which isn’t often) and walking my dogs every day for about fifteen minutes.
I’ve been through quite a few trainers at this place in the years I’ve been here, and they’ve all been great.
At 53 years old, 5 feet tall and 103 lbs, I leg pressed 290 pounds today for over three minutes VERY slowly. If you factor in my size, that’s pretty great. I feel strong and healthy, and the best part is I don’t have to spend most of my time working to keep it that way.
I know this sounds too good to be true, but trust me, it’s not. Those twenty minutes are HARD. But I’d rather work really hard and be done in twenty minutes, than spend 90 minutes several times a week and get worse results. Oh, and if you go on vacation you can pretty much skip working out for that time, and it takes very few sessions to get back to where you were before you left.
I recommend that anyone who’s considering this go ahead and try it. What do you have to lose?

LOVE TPW! The wonderful trainers here have completely changed the way I work out — for the better!
It takes 2 workouts a week, and each workout is only 20 minutes, and I swear I get better results here than from being in the gym everyday. John is a wonderful trainer and really knows what he’s doing. He also has great tips for nutrition and has a wealth of knowledge about getting and staying healthy.
I wish I could explain the techniques, but you’d think I’m crazy. Just go in for an intro session… you won’t regret it!
