I purchased a living social deal of $29 for 10 sessions. What a deal right?! for less than $3 I almost get a private training session with professionals in kettle bell. I usually go during Mondays for their 12:15 high intensity noon work out. It is only 45 minutes long but they work your whole body! you are constantly doing circuit training workouts with kettle bells and cardio work outs! The trainers work on making sure your form is correct as well as teaching you techniques for better breathing etc. It is a lot smaller than a typical gym place, and a bit out of place since it is surrounded by businesses and its in a warehouse. But this change of scenery isn't too bad. I don't have to worry about people watching me and the disgusting sweaty gym smell. If they have another deal, i'll most likely buy it. I probably wouldn't purchase their regular price classes because it's in Encinitas which is far from where I live. But for $3 for private sessions, its worth it! read more

I can't comment on the gym workout side of PerfectFit, since I haven't (yet) participated. But I CAN comment on the NKT and Restorative Breathing program taught by Jill K, a co-owner of the place. This is probably going to sound like hyperbole, but here's my experience: I had a nagging and very painful shoulder issue that had been increasing in severity for about six months. A yoga instructor at another gym had a similar problem and suggested that I consult with Jill. That I did. Fully expecting some sort of manipulation or bizarre regimen, Jill instead asked me to walk up and down the hallway. Just walk. When I had completed my walk, she very succinctly stated that my problem was centered in the way I was breathing. Huh? I mean, my shoulder hurts, woman. What does the way I breath have to do with that? So she told me. And she tested my muscles and said, some were "on" and some were "off," and that needed some attention, too. So, she taught me a breathing technique, and did what I can only describe as innocuous manipulations (I've been to acupuncture, chiropractic, deep tissue massage, etc., in the past, so I know from innocuous manipulations). And here's the deal. At the end of the hour, my shoulder felt substantially better. Not 100%, but darn close. I was amazed and confused. How could this be? Ten days and one additional session later, the shoulder issue is resolved. No pain. Nada. And my running has improved, because my breathing has improved. Jill has such a depth of knowledge and a great methodology that you know you're in good hands with her. If you're an athlete, dealing with injury or frustrated by a performance plateau, I'd give Jill a call if I were you. Then, prepare to be amazed, as I was. I'm considering taking a class or two there, so I may update this review if I do. But until then, I'll just say that these folks know their stuff. read more

I took their Intro class (1.5 hr) a couple of months ago out of shape and in search of a gym to attend regularly. I couldn't afford Pure Fitness anymore (and didn't really enjoy it anyway) and wasted a membership at 24 hr because I hated it. I was sore for maybe 3 days before I returned for regular classes at PerfectFit but went back and have gone religiously since. It's a great deal for me - no membership fee or monthly fees, just pay for each class. It's about $15/class's, but I buy a 10-pack for about $130. Classes are either just me or up to 3 other people. I feel like I have a personal trainer for the price of a group class. I thoroughly enjoy the kettleball training. It's a great workout and I'm getting toned ans nice definition. My body is absolutely changed and it's only been 2 months. It's a very efficient workout so you get a full workout in their 45 minute class or a tough workout at the 1 hour class. Finally, the owners/trainers, Jill and Renee are fantastic. They are attentive, ensure my proper form, and fun to workout with. They push me much harder than I ever would myself. I couldn't have made a better choice in trainers! The value, setting, quality are all top notch! read more

I just finished my in-home session with Jill for her Restorative Breathing inclusive floor workout. As a certified Neurokinetic Therapy (c) therapist, she's done exams/sessions with me as my body "called out" for attention in certain concerns. (You gotta Google that, y'all!) These NKT treatments and my "homework" that aligns with these individualized sessions, have fascinatingly helped increase my successes with the floor work. I've never experienced anything like this and I'm a BELIEVER. Jill is very CUSTOM and PERSONALIZED in developing your workout JUST for YOU; e.g., for me at age 57 (female), I have mobility/movement issues with my neck, interior (right) knee and a recent laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Jill is addressing each of these as we discover my weaker areas and how to rebound. She will do a BRIEF new evaluation as my improvement progresses and/or other areas emerge. I cannot say enough about her protocol for me. I was previously athletic in my 30s and 40s -- but then became someone who hadn't been regularly working out in more than 2 years. I strongly agree with her logic and values: you FIRST must address your own mobility and stability issues/condition...before going into a "traditional" sort of work out. I'm very grateful I found her and chalk it up to Divine Providence that she came along at this time in my life! I believe if I had let my mobility and weakness issues continue...it could have put me on the wrong path. I believe I have a very, very good shot now at building and securing my mobility, stability, body/muscle awareness, command of my muscles... I believe this will lead to a richer quality of life as a senior citizen down the road! If you are someone who has repetitive movement injuries or have injuries from years ago that are screaming at you in your middle age... CONTACT JILL. TIP: There are several...but have Jill show you the ultimate body maneuver/movement that, if you can perform it, pretty much dictates your mobility success as a "Silver-Hair." Fascinating! I sincerely wish you GOOD HEALTH! read more

I've been training with Jill Knipp and Renee Woods now for about 3 years. During that time they've been instrumental to my overall health. Not only do I strength train with them but they also advise me on my diet (the other 4 letter word) journey by giving me print outs of correct eating plans for weight loss designed especially for me. If I have any food questions they always have the answers and never do they have to research for the answer. During that time I sprained my ankle but no worries because they knew exactly what to do so that I could work out and heal at the same time. I was so worried that I'd slide backwards but I didn't. I'd recommend Jill and Renee to anyone who wants to improve their overall health!! read more

Yes it IS possible to be in great shape at 50+ with a desk job and lower back problems. I have gone from a size 10 (pushing 12) to a size 6 (pushing 4) in one year training with Sean 2 times a week. To be honest I am not a big fan of exercising or dieting. In fact I can think of nothing better than sitting down to watch CSI with a quart of Breyer's Vanilla Bean. Last year I decided to get in shape for my daughter's wedding. It took a goal and a commitment to exercise 3 times a week (once on my own which is the hardest part) and pay more attention to nutrition (less sugar, fat, wine, etc.). Ladies, this is DOABLE and certainly worth the effort. Now it has become a regular way of life. The Perfect Fit staff is friendly and outgoing, the facility is loaded with serious and fun equipment, and training here is truly enjoyable. Not like a big gym with crowds to work around. I always look forward to coming here for personal training with Sean. read more

I am a certified personal trainer and I specialize in weight loss, corrective exercise and sports performance. There are many studios that I could work out of but I chose Perfect Fit USA. It is a private training studio that has everything I need to conduct great workouts and allow my clients to get great results. It is a great replacement for the people that do not want to workout at one of the big chain gyms. It is always very clean, provides towels and has Carlsbad Mineral Water to top it off. They give a real first class experience. Everybody I bring to see the facility is always impressed. They like how intimate the setting is and how comfortable they feel when they work out due to no crowds. There are no memberships and anybody working out is paired up with their trainer. The trainers they do have are very qualified and experienced. So it is a great place to improve ones' health and wellness. read more

"I am 72 years old and have played sports all my life...until about 4 years ago. Back pain was advancing and preventing me from even walking or standing for any length of time. Diagnosis: Spinal Stenosis! Then, pain management, MRIs, Steroid shots and ultimately, major back surgery. All of that resulted in only moderate relief. Then, I met Jill Knipp, owner of Perfect Fit USA. Jill's training and experience is extensive and imrpessive. She put me on and managed a nutrition plan, which along with exercise allowed me to drop from 213 to 183 (my weight when I got out of USAF boot camp) over about 4 months time. During this period I learned about Jill's Neuro Kinetic Therapy (NKT) practice and some of the results others had experienced from her treatment. The concept made sense and Jill is very credible, so I signed up. What I found was that if you can identify a specific ailment (read pain), it guides Jill's treatment in applying non intrusive techniques that almost immediately start to reduce the pain. She lays out a "homework" program to follow up each treatment at home, which enables the relief to increase and continue. I'm back on my bike, taking long walks again and moving freely and easily all day, every day. Most importantly, I'm feeling a lot less pain. The NKT treatment and Jill's qualifications combine to deliver an effective treatment and I would recommend it to anyone who wants less pain and more flexibilility. " read more
