CLIENT STORIES
CARLOS ORNELAS
“When I first entered The Perfect Step one of my short term goals was to sleep better. There were nights that I would only sleep 2-3 hours in my bed. Working out at The Perfect Step helps me release some of the stress which was not allowing me to sleep well. Some of the future goals I am setting for myself, and that I know The Perfect Step will help me attain, are to be able to stand and walk again even if it is with the assistance of a walker or cane. This will allow me to return to work sooner and finish my Bachelor’s Degree. Thank you TPS!”
-CARLOS ORNELAS, Client
TERRY WEBB
“My goals are to be independent so that I can live on my own. My ultimate goal is to walk again! I have been working on my transfers more, and little by little I am gaining the ability to do that more on my own. ”
-TERRY WEBB, Client
FRANKIE CERVANTES
“My favorite thing about TPS is the environment. Everybody at TPS is very welcoming and the specialists are helpful and friendly. So far The Perfect Step has helped become so much stronger which not only has helped me to progress in my sessions at therapy but has also given me the confidence to return back to school for my Senior year of High School!”
-FRANKIE CERVANTES, Client
CHRIS MEYER
“The Perfect Step helps me slow down the progression of my diagnosis and increases my independence. Exercise is my medicine and TPS shares that same value. Giving me access to knowledgeable therapists and the the necessary equipment has given me a space and the motivation to reach my recovery goals. Thank you for giving me hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you TPS for helping with my recovery journey.”
-CHRIS MEYER, Client
MATT LIPP
“My workout sessions at TPS make me want to strive for success in areas beyond what I would have thought I could do before I started at TPS. It’s helped me learn to cope and change for the better certain things that I didn’t have to deal with before my injury. It’s also helped me find a community of people who understand and have an idea of what it’s like to face similar challenges.”
-MATT LIPP, Client
MARLEY BASURTO
“The Perfect Step has given me a new outlook and motivation by helping me realize that there is still a life to live after my accident. I feel revived and motivated after every session. Thank you TPS for helping me realize my potential and treating me like an able bodied person. I’m looking forward to what this year has in store for me.”
-MARLEY BASURTO, Client
CHRIS PANG
“ The Perfect Step has given me that extra hope that the doctors could not give me. I had my doubts but as I am doing my workouts at The Perfect Step week after week, I am not only getting stronger but also getting confidence in moving my body in ways I could not do before coming here. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!”
-CHRIS PANG, Client
GLADYS YANEZ
“I have gained so much physical strength and coordination back since attending therapy at The Perfect Step that I can now take slightly unassisted steps while at therapy - an unimaginable improvement from where I started. I love being at TPS and being able to hear other client’s stories. They give me hope and make me very grateful. Interacting with and watching other clients allows me to see that life is not over. I love being at TPS with so many positive and uplifting people.”
-GLADYS YANEZ, Client
LEO PEREZ
“ I have made significant progress in my recovery since starting to attend therapy at The Perfect Step. I have been able to come out of my depressive state and be more confident with myself and go out and do the things I loved to do before my diagnosis. I continue to break barriers that doctors told me I would never do again. Thank you TPS for instilling hope back into my life!”
-LEO PEREZ, Client
FRANK MORTELLITI
“Because of The Perfect Step I have got back my independence in doing many daily chores and activities like getting myself dressed and feeding myself. I do not even want to think about where my recovery would be without TPS - definitely not where I am at today!”
-FRANK MORTELLITI, Client

JOSHUA HERRERA-PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE
“My experience at The Perfect Step for the past four years I was there was unlike any other. Not only was it a great work environment, but it was awesome to see the clients come in and make progress and see how they progress as well in their lives. It’s a great place, with great people, a great environment. 10 out of 10, I would highly recommend it.”
-JOSHUA HERRERA, Previous Employee
JEFF MERRIT
“The Perfect Step is a 5-star facility. I love the gym setting and sometimes you feel like you wake up and don’t feel like going to the gym but I’ve never had that feeling and look forward to coming to TPS every day.”
-JEFF MERRIT, Client
BRIAN BORCHERS
“For the last 2 years, I have been able to attend therapy on a more regular basis. As such, I have seen better consistency of results. One of the biggest changes I have noticed is the spasticity of my legs is a little more controlled. My legs are always very tight and heavy before therapy. After they are very compliant, which makes moving them around a little less of a chore. I plan to continue my therapy at The Perfect Step as often as possible, as the benefits are so very worth it. ”
-BRIAN BORCHERS, Client
ASHLEY HUTTON
“I love the one-on-one care that you get at TPS, and the Specialists know what I need and can provide a way to reach my goals and work with me to get me where I need to be. The Perfect Step has improved my posture. Additionally, my daily functioning has improved, and an increase in my independence. For me, I enjoy feeling good, and being able to feel good this far post-injury is such a positive to not just my body but my mental health as well. The environment and atmosphere here is something that I really enjoy and that’s why I keep coming back here. ”
-ASHLEY HUTTON, Client
JOSE CASTRO
“The Perfect Step is meaningful to me because it allows me to live a healthier lifestyle, and significantly increase my strength in my body and in my everyday life. The Perfect Step has been one of the only places that gave me a chance to come into therapy and it’s something I’m grateful for. I’ve tried other places and it’s nowhere near the training that I need for my situation. I thrive on the environment in the building, the trainers, and the training they give me. It’s like no other and it’s been a real journey.”
-JOSE CASTRO, Client
DANIEL LANDEROS
"Without the help of TPS I would not have realized that I had the capability to move my right arm and hand. I enjoy the people and my trainers and the relationships that I have made at TPS. I love coming here for the lively atmosphere, gym-like setting, conversations, and results that I get from TPS. I choose to stay at TPS because of the progress and what I’ve been able to do!"
-DANIEL LANDEROS, Client
BRIAN GOODWIN
"I believe that TPS has acquired its unique persona through its everlasting pursuit of progress, rooted in not only its methodology and practices but also each trainer’s rigorous attention to detail for each individual they interact with. Personally, I have strived to leave each session with something gained. That doesn’t only mean physically but seeing the bigger picture mentally as well. If you are looking for a place to not only achieve higher health goals and literally leave mentally and physically exhausted there is no better place than The Perfect Step for that journey into recovery.!"
-Brian Goodwin, Client
ERIKA FRANCO
"My favorite thing about TPS is the environment. It is safe, friendly, motivating, and most importantly non-judgmental. The therapists really connect with you and meet you where you are at, whether it’s as a new injury or advanced, minimal range of motion or more advanced, etc. This environment really makes therapy enjoyable and with no pressure!"
-Erika Franco, Client
Jon Keimach Jr.
"Not any other place like this. Goes far above and beyond average physical therapy. A specialization that needs more awareness so people can live healthy lives regardless of their physical condition. Thank you all for everything you do!"
