Deb Flynn’s friends would agree that she is a lifelong fitness and nutrition advocate. She has always enjoyed the outdoors and participating in sports, and now enjoys watching her children play their favorite sports of soccer, lacrosse, basketball, gymnastics, and track.

Through the years, Deb challenged herself with various exercise programs, including long distance running, Taebo, P90x, Piyo, 21-Day Fix Extreme, and T25. Deb noticed that she developed pain and injuries while doing all of these programs, forcing her to take breaks to allow for healing. She wanted to find something that provided efficiency, effectiveness, and safety and spent time researching numerous forms of exercise and nutrition.

When she discovered The Perfect Workout’s approach of super-slow-motion strength training Deb immediately realized that  it was unique and a ‘perfect’ match for her. She knew that she had to be part of this revolution! Deb completed the rigorous personal training certification for The Perfect Workout and also earned her personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). She is currently pursuing two additional NASM certifications in Fitness Nutrition and Corrective Exercise.

Deb joined The Perfect Workout team in 2018 and began helping clients immediately in the Jenkintown studio. “Thinking about clients’ successes makes me smile. The ones that stick out the most are those that involve clients returning to the studio and sharing an unexpected compliment they received or a positive change they have noticed that makes life more enjoyable. That is why I do this!”

Being in the studio with her fellow trainers is one of Deb’s favorite parts about being on The Perfect Workout team. “All of us can be great as individuals, but we know we can be even better as a team. I feel that all my fellow trainers follow this train of thought: “how can I help, encourage, support, teach, and guide our clients to realize their best possible self?’  With the ultimate goal being to change people’s lives for the better!”

Deb finds so much joy helping others, and is excited to be part of her clients’ triumphant journeys to healthier, stronger, happier, and more confident lives!

Robert Fitzgerald grew up the youngest of 3 brothers with two physical therapists for parents. After high school, Robert joined University of Maryland’s wrestling team, and went on to have a successful career, despite multiple season-ending injuries. After graduating from college, Robert worked as a Division 1 coach and youth mentor before earning a full scholarship to Drexel Law School. While he is still pursuing his Law Degree, Robert wanted to put his passions for fitness and helping people to use and began his career in Personal Training.

Robert has been utilizing slow-motion technique for strength training himself for years, so he knew The Perfect Workout was a team he wanted to join. Since graduating from Maryland, Robert has used the slow-motion technique to eliminate the chronic joint pain and ligament soreness from his injuries. Now, he is excited to bring the same relief to others, by introducing them to safe and effective slow-motion strength training at The Perfect Workout.

Having an evidence-based workout isn’t the only thing that drew Robert to The Perfect Workout. The 1-on-1 training sessions with every client also makes a big difference. “I love having intellectual conversations aside from the workout, and seeing the smile on a client’s face when they reach their goal. That’s not something you get from group fitness classes.

Robert has helped many clients reach goals such as dropping over 30 pounds, losing inches off their waste, gaining strength and muscle mass, rehabilitating knee replacements, and even helping a client decrease their migraines. Robert is thrilled to be part of a team that is changing lives every day and wants to help many more do the same.

Kris Rivera is originally from the Philippines, where his active lifestyle began with running around with friends and family and always playing games. He moved to the United States at the age of 10 and grew up in Horsham, PA. Kris loved the sport of basketball and played competitively at the high-school level for Team Philippines. He graduated from Youngstown State University with his degree in Exercise Science, where his passion for helping others through exercise was cultivated.

“I decided to go into the fitness industry because I really enjoyed exercise and working out. To be able to do that while helping others is a win-win for me.” Kris began his career at a nonprofit using exercise to help clients who suffered from stroke, spina bifida, Multiple Sclerosis, and other chronic illnesses. After spending time away from home, he went back to his hometown, where he discovered The Perfect Workout. As a fitness enthusiast, Kris was excited to learn about super slow strength training because of its efficiency, safety, and results. He quickly knew he belonged on The Perfect Workout’s training team and ultimately became a Certified Personal Trainer.

“I feel that I’m stronger than I’ve ever been through Slow-Motion Strength Training. However, being able to help people achieve change and reach their goals is probably the best part about The Perfect Workout. I love hearing about clients and their progress and successes while being alongside them through challenges and obstacles.”

One of Kris’ clients in particular dealt with a sensitive low back injury when she first joined The Perfect Workout. She began the Leg Press machine at 90 pounds and has more than doubled her strength to where she can now push 190 pounds!

Kris has such a strong passion for helping people become and remain healthy. His empathetic approach to meet clients where they are has made him very successful in helping clients commit to their workouts and achieve results. “I love people and am 100% committed to helping clients reach their goals.”

Kris wants to make a positive impact on each of his clients’ lives through exercise, especially through The Perfect Workout’s super slow training method. “The Perfect Workout is the perfect place to start or continue your health and exercise journey. It’s never too late to start and we will be there to help every step of the way!”

Kyle Ea was a total gym fanatic. He used to work out 1 to 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. After doing that consistently for a year, he started to notice pain in his left wrist when he lifted. Even a wrist safety band didn’t help.

At his first session with The Perfect Workout, Kyle was taught about the slow-motion technique. He could feel his muscles getting stronger and his wrist didn’t hurt at all! That’s when he replaced all his old gym training methods with slow-motion training. “I’m stronger, I sleep better and I exercise 20 minutes twice-a-week instead of 2 hours every day.”

Kyle felt so strongly about The Perfect Workout that he decided to join the team and become a Certified Personal Trainer. In 2018, Kyle joined the Philadelphia region and has been working with clients all over. He really enjoys working with each client directly as opposed to working with group classes. “1-on-1 gives me the opportunity to really engage with clients and learn about them. It’s distraction free for the both of us and I think it is one of the keys for us getting great results for our clients.”

One of his clients, Clare had been a powerlifter years ago and had hurt her knees, elbows, and wrists. After the first 4 months of training with Kyle, she didn’t have elbow or wrist pain anymore, and her knee pain improved immensely!

Kyle believes that The Perfect Workout is the safest, most effective and least time-consuming workout ever and looks forward to sharing it with as many clients as possible.
