About Perfect Fitness
The training principles and innovations behind the Perfect Pushup originated with Alden Mills, a seven year veteran of the US Navy SEALs. While serving as platoon commander, Alden's platoon was chosen for a study to determine why SEALs suffered unusually high injury rates. After learning the injuries were linked to age-old training methods, SEAL trainers switched to Functional Training. Alden learned firsthand how to incorporate these lessons into exercise routines that have become the foundation of techniques used at Perfect Fitness.

 excellent tool for fitness July 17, 2010
Sean Leugers
The perfect pushup is a great tool especially if you don't have much time or space for a good upper body emphasis workout. I have been using this product for 3 years and its great especially when you're in confined quarters or have little time to get a workout in. I also think that the workout flashcards are excellent because they show you more than just a standard pushup. Its worth an extra $10.
I got the original when it first came out. It was great but a bit bulky and difficult to transport. The travel version solved this problem. I took it to Iraq in 2008 and it really great - again, confined spaces with little time for workouts. I was on the road almost every day and with all the lifting, moving, and heavy gear we wore, I needed some extra strength. I was really worried about all of the dust getting to the ball bearings, which it did but I haven't noticed any loss of performance. I used the computer spray air to clean the ball bearings a bit by spraying it into the tiny space between the rubber bottom and the plastic casing and worked around the circle. It seemed to work.
I found this most useful for really working my shoulders, chest, and triceps. The device turns easily and smoothly allowing free twisting motion of your hands. The ability to twist your hands serves 2 purposes: better toning and if you're into martial arts it forces you to practice good wrist turning technique during punching (working out and practicing technique at the same time). Since you can unhook the handles, you can also do knuckle pushups to condition the bone density of your hands. Unfortunately, after about 4 months in Iraq, I tore (full thickness) my left supraspinatus tendon (rotator cuff) and separated my shoulder while out on a mission. Bench press, military press, and incline were obviously out. I could still do the perfect pushup (light workouts obviously). Since I continued on with missions out there for 4 months in that condition, I had to be able to continue missions without a drop in performance. While discussing this with the battalion surgeon, I used the perfect pushup full time because it was the only thing I could do that wouldn't aggravate it, while I was attempting to build the muscles around the injured ones, like the surgeon advised. I was able to continue to the end of our deployment. 1 1/2 years post surgery and physical rehab, I find that bench press continually causes problems for me by reaggravating my shoulder every time I started putting on heavy weight. I have begun using the perfect pushup more instead of benchpress. I started doing that about a week ago and I haven't had the pain that I was continually having with benchpress.
In the beginning I had trouble with delivery. The owner called me personally and we talked for about 20 minutes. He is a great guy and the situation was completely resolved. Obviously the company has grown since then so I'm not sure that will happen now but it obviously shows the desire to satisfy customers. I think its a great product, don't trust the knock offs - I have seen and occasionally used some. They do the same basic motion but they're like a bootleg movie - yeah, you can see the movie but there are subtle things you don't have. I hope this helps.
pushup miracle July 3, 2010
Michael Garst (key west, fl)
I absolutely love these!
whether you want to use them to do all the fancy turning to enhance your pushup workout or simply use them as a grip to protect your wrists, this is the product. They are much more stylish than the traditional ones and breaking them out and stowing them is extremely simple. As long as you keep it clean, the rubber bottoms prevent slippage.
great product!!! June 25, 2010

very light. easy and quick to erect and breakdown. use about 4 times a week and it seems durable.
 Not bad at all... June 22, 2010

Used it a few times already and the product holds up well. I could feel the difference compared to doing regular push-ups. The plastic-build seems sturdy but I could see obvious points of failure if it was accidentally dropped or mishandled rendering it useless or unsafe to use so I handle it carefully. So far only using it at home and not bringing it to office or to the gym. No ball-bearing issues so far as others have complained. The neoprene case and booklet does adds value to the product but the price could be slightly more to be desired.
very handy May 4, 2010

it gets the job done. i also have the solid, original pair that first came out. very convenient :)
