FALL INTO YOUR ROUTINE 🍂
Fall is here, school is back in session, summer travel is winding down, and for many of us, life is finally getting back into a more regular rhythm.
September is a great time to reset your routine—and that doesn’t mean completely overhauling your life. It can be as simple as getting your workouts back on the calendar, planning a few meals ahead, prioritizing sleep, and making time for the habits that help you feel your best.
At Perfect Form LA, we’re big believers that consistency beats perfection. Whether you’re strength training two days a week or four, the goal is to create a routine that works with your life and that you can maintain long-term.
If summer threw you off your normal schedule, consider September your fresh start. 🍂
PFLA TURNS TWO! 🎉
October 1st marks two years of Perfect Form LA!
It’s hard to believe it’s already been two years since we opened our doors. What started as our vision for a different kind of gym has grown into a community that we are incredibly proud of.
Our goal has always been to create a space where people feel known, supported, and challenged—where strength training is personalized, coaches know your name and your goals, and fitness is about building a stronger, healthier body for the long term.
We are so grateful to every person who has walked through our doors, trusted our team, brought a friend, celebrated a PR, stayed after class to talk, or simply helped make PFLA feel like PFLA.
To celebrate our two-year anniversary, we’re giving our members 20% off their upcoming billing cycle from September 28–October 27! 🎉
Consider it our anniversary gift to you and a very big thank you for being part of our community.
Here’s to year three! 🥂
NEW CLASS TIME
We’re adding another opportunity to get your training in!
NEW: Tuesdays at 10:00 AM with Celia
If a mid-morning workout fits your fall schedule, this is another chance to get your semi-private strength training on the calendar.
As always, our small session sizes allow our coaches to adjust your workout to your individual ability, goals, and training needs—so you get personalized attention while still enjoying the energy and accountability of training alongside others.
Book your session through the Perfect Form LA app.
SEPTEMBER ASK A TRAINER: DOES PROTEIN REALLY MATTER?
Protein is everywhere right now—but how much do you actually need?
This month’s Ask a Trainer breaks down why protein matters, how it supports muscle growth and recovery, how much active adults may need, and whether you really need that protein shake immediately after your workout.
One of the biggest takeaways? Your nutrition doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. Just like your workouts, consistency matters.

SEPTEMBER RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Fall flavors have officially entered the chat.
This month we’re making a High-Protein Harvest Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowl with chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, kale, apples, pecans, cranberries, and a Maple Dijon Greek Yogurt Dressing.
It’s balanced, high in protein, great for meal prep, and an easy way to bring some fall flavors into your weekly routine.
FALL WELLNESS TIP: MAKE YOUR ROUTINE EASIER TO FOLLOW
One of the best things about fall is the return of routine. Instead of relying on motivation to get your workouts done, use your schedule to your advantage.
At the beginning of each week, look at your calendar and decide when you’re going to train before the week gets busy. Book those sessions and treat them like any other appointment.
Then focus on the basics outside the gym: get your daily movement, eat enough protein, prioritize sleep, stay hydrated, and give yourself time to recover.
You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You need a routine you can return to again and again.
WHAT’S COMING THIS FALL AT PFLA 🍂
We have plenty more coming as we head into our third year, including more education around strength training, nutrition, recovery, longevity, and building sustainable habits.
If there’s a topic you want our trainers to cover, send it our way! Your question might become our next Ask a Trainer or PFLA blog post.
And if you know someone who has been talking about getting stronger, finding a personal trainer in Studio City, or looking for a more personalized approach to fitness, send them our way.
At Perfect Form LA, our semi-private training in Studio City, Los Angeles combines individualized strength programming, expert coaching, small session sizes, accountability, and community—all with the goal of helping our clients get stronger and stay strong for the long term.
