Private Workout What a TOTAL RIP-OFF! Internet, Internet
This club is a scam. Everything these people said is right. Each room you go into you have to spend half your time adjusting the weights and all the gadgets and then figuring out their complicated and ridiculously cumbersome clipboard you carry into each room. It is so archaic and stupid. Sharon lies that you get used to it. You don't. Then her scam is to pay HER to go in each room with you and she adjusts the weights and all the gadgets and writes on the stupid clipboard and you pay even MORE. Sharon is a robot that spews out well-rehearsed spin. Edith is a tyrant and you feel like you just sign up for the shop of horrors or got a room at the Norman Bates hotel. Don't do it. Once you sign that iron-clad contract your bank account will shrink but you won't. I am "Fortunate" I am done with them.

We are sorry you had a bad experience! We are run by personal trainers and we have a 99.4% customer satisfaction rating with the 8,000+ members who have been with us over the past 8 years.
We have had over 8,000 people go through our program who know it works, and millions who have
done workouts similar to ours, including virtually every professional sports team in the United States including the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, and Stars. On your first workout, we start you off easy
so that we dont tear up your joints and give you the soreness that most people get from their first workout at most gyms.
Our goal in the first workout is to form fit each machine to your specific body, finding out whether you need to be on seat setting number 2, or 3 etc. We teach you the proper form of the exercise using low weight so that we can be sure you learn it. This means your first workout is more about
instruction than toughness.
It is a complicated program so we give you a detailed chart that contains all of your instructions for the day. You carry that with you so you dont have to memorize the program, and there are hooks in each room to hang it on. For each room you are given a little over a minute PLUS an extra ten seconds in order to set up the machines. 99% of our clients are able to set up the machines in less than 10 seconds within the first 2 workouts. Most will do it in 2 seconds. For those that struggle with it, we recommend hiring a personal trainer go through with you, as apparently was the case here.
We have two ex professional athletes and an ex-marine that have told us this was the best workout they have ever had, but you must complete the program and give yourself a chance to be successful at it. Private Workout is about the workout, so please come and do at least 6 weeks before you pass judgment.
While most gyms simply offer access to their equipment, and dont show you how to use it, dont teach you the proper form, dont give you a workout plan, dont tell you to boost your protein input or you will lose muscle from working out, dont have mirrors by their weight machines so you can maintain your form without hiring a personal trainer, and dont make any claims whatsoever about the results that can be achieved by working out there, Private Workout seems to held to a higher
standard by some consumers. We form-fit you to every machine, teach you the proper form, give you a workout that 8,000 people have done before you that get results as much as 7 times faster than those achieved at a normal gym. We purchase what we believe to be the best equipment in the world for each station that will not hurt your joints. This is the same equipment used by the Dallas Mavericks, Cowboys, and Stars. We provide an environment where no one watches you work out, and you dont have to wait for equipment. Its worth a try, you can always go back to
the traditional gyms that offer less if you dont like what we have to offer. In fact, we offer a full refund at the end of the first visit if you dont like it, before you even leave the store. Since you didnt ask for a refund, you must have liked it at first.
We have to disagree with you characterizing this workout as a scam since literally millions of people have been successful doing this sort of workout. Often times people that are perfectionists get frustrated when they dont master our system immediately. You have to give yourself a break and realize it takes a few times before you have it memorized. Talk with your store manager and I will arrange some complimentary personal training sessions for you until you can get up to speed with this fast-moving and effective workout program.
