Washington Post says The Perfect Workout's "Slow-motion strength training is hard — and fast."
Thanks to The Washington Post for choosing to spotlight us in an article that helps spread the message about Slow Motion Strength Training and its amazing results associated with this scientifically proven method.
According to 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.
The article features the high-intensity, low-impact program known as "slow-motion strength training". It means that gradually lifting and releasing weights without the aid of rest or momentum brings muscles to exhaustion (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.
However, 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, which is time. Unlike high-intensity interval training (“by its very nature, it’s extreme,” Jordan says), slow-motion strength training is accessible to anyone.
It also talks about the benefits and the good practices of slow-motion strength training. According to the article, 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 also often report better body composition plus lower blood sugar and cholesterol.
Although slow-motion strength training may not be sexiest or trendiest, it gets the job done quicker and safer. Moreover, many clients of an advanced age love the safety along with the added bone strength that slow-motion strength training offers. Lastly, slow-motion training sessions come in several convenient packages. Some packages even help reduce osteoporosis and Type 2 Diabetes.

Meet Johanna Jacinto Personal Trainer at The Perfect Workout Menlo Park Studio
Johanna’s approach with all her clients is a combination of being tough yet motivating and encouraging. “I like to push my clients beyond what they think they can do. To see the look of accomplishment and amazement on their face after doing what they thought was impossible is truly exciting.”
If she wasn’t a personal trainer Menlo Park at The Perfect Workout, you’d probably find Johanna Jacinto there anyway. A fitness enthusiast, Johanna is certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and through the National College of Exercise Professionals (NCEP). She also has coaching certifications through four associations including USA Track and Field.
Let’s just say that Johanna knows what she’s doing, and there’s no place she rather be training than at The Perfect Workout. Since coming on board in February 2013, she’s made serious personal gains with her own slow-motion strength training. After only two months, she was leg pressing 510 pounds for over two minutes. Yes, that’s the entire stack. As a martial artist, Johanna says, “My kicks, punches, and strikes are a lot more powerful now than when I was fighting competitively in my teens and early 20s. I’m a lot stronger now in my 30s!”
Clients are seeing great results, too, but Johanna says losing weight and inches isn’t the most important thing. “People tend to forget that the real reason for exercising is to improve your overall health, well-being, and quality of life … the excess weight and fat melting off is an added bonus.” The stories where everyday lives have vastly improved are most fulfilling. Clients come back and tell her they’re carrying their own groceries without assistance, lifting and moving heavy boxes to clean out the garage, climbing stairs with greater ease, and keeping their balance without falling. One client in her mid-80s said The Perfect Workout gave her added strength and energy, including going from 110 pounds to 210 pounds on the leg press. She’s also lost inches around her arms, waist, hips, and thighs, lowered her blood pressure, and gotten firmed and toned all over.
Johanna also gives credit to fellow trainers Denise and Andrea. “The whole team at Menlo Park does an amazing job. They’re incredible trainers and clients absolutely adore them.”
Besides her passion for fitness, Johanna loves hanging out with her husband and eight-year old daughter, especially at one of her favorite places anywhere, Disneyland. One of her goals this year is to get back into competition shape and fight in a Muay Thai or Tae Kwan Do tournament. Knowing Johanna like we do, no doubt she’ll do it!
