Jodi's clothes fit better and she is more confident than ever!

Jodi knew that strength training was especially important for seniors. "Anything you can do like this for your health is a good expenditure."

"Aging is a precarious process," says Jodi Warner. At age 66, her friends talk about how daily activities of life are getting harder. But not for this new fan of The Perfect Workout. When she joined earlier last year, she had a feeling it was going to work. She had no idea how much. Like most people, Jodi Warner wanted to lose weight, tone up, and get stronger. That was part of her motivation, but she had a deeper, more bighearted reason for coming to The Perfect Workout. "My purpose in life is to be the matriarch of a close and loving family. It's so important to me, it's the core of who I am." Part of that at this point is lifting and carrying her grandchildren. Upper body strength from the slow-motion strength training kicked in quickly. "I take care of my one-year old grandson. It's so easy to lift him high out of his chair and swing him on my hip. I also noticed how much more energy I had. It's all so much easier now! I completely credit this workout for being able to do this."

Jodi's personal trainer Oakland, Denise, tracks all the numbers so she doesn't have to. "I don't pay attention to my weight or how many inches I've lost," says Jodi. "My clothes fit me! That's my one measure." She admits that Denise gets her to do more than she ever would on her own, and loves the fact that she has a trainer who really listens to her, something that didn't happen at a previous gym. Even more than changing the shape of her body, Jodi has an increased sense of self-confidence and strength. She's noticed it while hiking and climbing near her home, and she noticed it on a trip last summer with her husband. While living in France for two and a half months, they toured Normandy, explored the 5th and 6th arrondissements of Paris where they stayed, and often walked up to seven miles a day. The hard work with Denise paid off, and the walking countered the baguettes and butter they had every morning. Getting back to her workout routine upon returning didn't take long either.

A retired reading specialist, Jodi feels extremely fortunate to have her health and her family. Her three grown daughters and their husbands, and three grandchildren, all live within 15 minutes. Life is good, and Jodi gives an enthusiastic "absolutely!" when asked if she plans to continue at The Perfect Workout. "I'm glad to have the opportunity to support this business."

Washington Post says The Perfect Workout's "Slow-motion strength training is hard — and fast."

Thanks to The Washington Post for choosing to feature us in an article that helps spread the message about Slow Motion Strength Training and its amazing results associated with this scientifically proven method.

Here are the points from the article:

• The Slow-motion strength training studios feel less like a gym and more like a physical therapist’s office.

• These training studios offer clients more of a personal training in a quiet, no-frills space filled with Nautilus equipment 

• It's a complete workout in just two short sessions per week.

Here’s the drill: 

• A high-intensity, low-impact program known as "slow-motion strength training"

• Gradually lifting and releasing weights without the aid of rest or momentum brings muscles to exhaustion also known as “muscle success”.

• It is extremely difficult but it’s also only a total of 20 minutes per session.

• Though The Perfect Workout, a California-based outfit founded in 1999, is new to the East Coast, the Slow-motion strength training concept isn’t.

• The Perfect Workout system cites principles outlined just over 30 years ago by fitness professional Ken Hutchins. 

• In slowing down movements to safely train women with osteoporosis, Hutchins concluded that the technique builds muscle more effectively than conventional weight training.

• The effectiveness of slow-motion strength training depends on the individual, according to Lee Jordan, a spokesman for the American Council on Exercise, but it offers a broad range of people a safe and viable program.

• Like high-intensity interval training, Jordan says, it seeks to remove the top barrier to exercise: time. 

• Unlike high-intensity interval training (“by its very nature, it’s extreme,” Jordan says), slow-motion strength training is accessible to anyone.

• Practitioners of slow-motion strength training also satisfy their need for cardiovascular activity.

• The key to an exercise routine is sticking to that routine. And The Perfect Workout's clients say this program works.

• Clients love to hate slow-motion strength training but they keep coming back because they get results.

• Slow-motion strength training practitioners often report better body composition plus lower blood sugar and cholesterol.

• Slow-motion strength training may not be sexiest or most trendiest, but it gets the job done quicker and safer.

• Many clients of an advanced age love the safety along with the added bone strength that slow-motion strength training offers.

• Slow-motion training sessions come in several convenient packages. Some packages even help reduce osteoporosis and Type 2 Diabetes.

Barbara's Balance and Posture are Better Than Ever!

Barbara says, “I come in and laugh! It’s a great workout, and always very short for me.”

“A lot of people come in and complain and moan and groan, says Barbara Richmon. “I come in and laugh! It’s a great workout, and always very short for me.” Those good spirits are in spite of numerous problems that could have easily sidelined Barbara. Up until the age of 66, she had no health problems. She always maintained a good weight, worked out regularly, and kept active. Then she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily, they caught it early and she didn’t need chemotherapy or radiation, but her health problems started shortly after that. She got neuropathy in her feet, which has since gone up to her calves, causing pain when standing or walking. Severe arthritis in her big toes causes pain in her feet. Within three years she had three back surgeries, then carpal tunnel surgery, and more knee problems. “You lose your strength and endurance after surgeries,” Barbara says. “And the neuropathy affects your balance. It puts you at risk for tripping and falling. That was the biggest thing.”

Barbara joined The Perfect Workout because it was close to their home, she wanted to do weight training to get her strength back, and she liked the idea of having someone with her all the time. Prior to this, she and her husband, Joe, had a personal trainer who came to their house for many years. He came once every six to eight weeks and gave them instruction. She also belonged to a local gym, but with all the problems with her joints, wasn’t able to do the machines on her own anymore. Working with the trainers at the Oakland studio has been great. Her current trainer is Jessica, and Barbara says, “She’s fabulous! Very focused, and really follows the training protocol. She’s very skilled, knows the theories behind the slow-motion strength training, and is pleasant to work with. I hope to be with her for a long time.”

In fact, Barbara was so taken with Jessica that she convinced Joe to do a workout with her. He initially dismissed the idea, but after trying it for himself, he signed up, too. Barbara acknowledges that she has a long way to go on building strength, but considering where she’s been, she’s happy with the results so far. When she started at The Perfect Workout almost two years ago, she couldn’t go up the stairs without holding on. Now her goal is to run up and down the stairs! Her strength, balance, and posture have all improved, and she’s aiming to hit 200 pounds on the leg press this year, up from 162 currently. It will help with all the upcoming trips she and Joe have planned. They’ll be in Florida in March with their daughter and her family, Nice, France, in June with their son and his family, and Lake George in upstate New York in August with everyone. Barbara’s philosophy is “If you do a little bit every day, and don’t give up, you can accomplish anything. It takes discipline. I truly love The Perfect Workout.”
