Ultimate Performance Personal Trainers London City

Fantastic experience: I can certainly say that joining UP this year was one of the best decisions I’ve made! It has changed not only my body but also, and most importantly, my mentality and lifestyle. From the very first day everyone made me feel super welcome. My trainer has helped me every step of the way and made my journey exciting and enjoyable. In only 3 months I’ve achieved the goals I was seeking for years. If you are looking for a true transformation, that’s the place!

Fantastic experience: My experience with UP has been amazing. It took me awhile to finally sign up with them but I genuinely wish I had done it sooner. The time my trainer took to challenge and educate me and keep me accountable (especially during weeks where I had a lot of social events happening) was what I needed for a long time. I’ve lost some weight and gained my confidence back in 8 weeks all thanks to my trainer and UP!

Fantastic experience: Amazing approach to fitness! The team is fantastic and dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. After years of trying and failing to achieve my desired weight, I am finally seeing results with Ultimate Performance. The trainers cater to your lifestyle and build a nutritional / training plan that suits you best. They closely monitor your performance and make changes to your plan as needed. I look forward to returning!

Fantastic experience: If you are hesitating, deliberating, mulling-it over- don't. Just sign up to UP now. I really regret not doing it sooner. It is THE best place to take your health and fitness seriously. The trainers are professional, knowledgeable and understanding. You WILL achieve the result you want (even if you don't fully believe it yourself). I was recommended UP by a work colleague three years ago and lament the fact I didn't sign up then. One colleague transformed herself after having children- from being obese to super slim and fit. Another colleague who was already very slim and sporty went to UP to discover the full potential of her body. I am half way through my transformation and am noticeably slimmer, fitter, and healthier (and stronger at 43 than at 23!) I have been to many gyms and many trainers in the past two decades. UP stands out. I train with one trainer at UP who has a very positive impact on my life- physical and mental. I have had the pleasure of training with three other trainers so can attest to the high quality of other trainers. It is very pricey but it is an investment in your self and worth every penny. Nothing is more important than your health and wellbeing. It is also a lot of fun and the atmosphere in the gym is just great. I look forward to every session.

Fantastic experience: After countless months of failed attempts at a “new year new me”, I finally signed up to UP and I can say it has been worth every penny. As someone who has been through multiple crash diets and failed PT experiences, I signed up skeptical that this would be any different. However, I have been consistently impressed by the way my trainer is able to tailor my programme to my personal needs and is able to push me without “breaking” me. In the past, other personal trainers would use the same blanket training routine regardless of my physical condition or level of experience and I would always end up developing a “fear” of going back that would result in overall failure to meet my goals. Conversely, UP is able to control every set I do so it is always challenging but never “too much” and I have started looking forward to going back to the gym (something I never thought I would say). As someone with a busy work schedule who has always struggled to make room for the gym, UP has been a true godsend in that they take away all the “thinking” and “planning” associated with working out and generally leading a healthy lifestyle, so you just have to show up and follow the programme tailored specifically for you. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had recently moved to London and decided that I wanted to make some positive changes in my life, including having a healthier lifestyle and transforming my body. I had never gone to the gym properly before, so I was very confused about setting good goals for myself. However, this obstacle was easily overcome with the help of my trainer, as we had, to my (very pleasant) surprise, a very honest and open minded conversation in order for me to better understand myself and my motivation. The gym itself offers everything you need to do your exercises, including a lot of support for any special conditions you may have. The atmosphere is great (and special kudos from me for the music choice!) and I always feel pumped up when I go. The trainer does an extremely good job in pushing me to my limits (some of which I wasn't even aware of before), especially since he doesn't make workout feel like a chore, but more like a fun grind (we do have a lot of banter, so the great vibe helps a lot). Outside of workout sessions, he takes great care in my nutrition and general wellbeing (from sleep to hydration to mood swings) and he is constantly available in case I need any sort of support. All in all, I am extremely glad I went to this gym and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make a good change in their life, both physically and from a positive mentality perspective!

Fantastic experience: Signing up for Ultimate Performance is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The whole programme's far exceeded my expectations. The constant encouragement and guidance from my trainer - and his ability to push me to my limits, has been key to making the whole experience challenging, enjoyable, and dare I say it, life-changing.

Fantastic experience: Very committed trainers. Not just gym babysitting like you have elsewhere. I reached my weight goals within a 3 months time frame while slightly increasing the weights I lifted. Expensive, but if you can afford it it is worth it.

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend UP because of: 1) Professional and supportive trainers 2) Detailed progress tracking system 3) Big variety of different gym equipment 4) Variety of add-ons, such as prepared meals, protein shakes, and food supplements. I really enjoyed my time at UP and managed to improve my health a lot. Thanks to my trainer!

Fantastic experience: Quite simply unbelievable. Everyone's fitness journey is different - we start in different places, progress at different speeds and have differing levels of knowledge. I had done some fitness training for about 5 years. A lot of cardio initially, then transitioning to weight training - and getting some PT sessions here and there to learn how to lift etc. I even got a couple of blocks of maybe 10 sessions with local PTs (trying to achieve some body re-composition). I was never able to quite get to the physique I wanted though. I had thought about UP a couple of years ago when I saw their ads on social media. Various circumstances (not least the pandemic most recently) stopped me from signing up. Having signed up this year, I really can't explain how incredible it has been. 9% body fat, a physique I'm proud of and an even deeper understanding of nutrition. And all within 3 months! I know the sceptics reading this will roll their eyes and ask "yeah right... how?". Well it's not just one thing - it's the whole package: the state of the art gym equipment (I've trained at the London City branch mostly with a couple of sessions at the Mayfair branches); the trainers who push every session to maximum and - (I think most critically) - the nutritional support. This last part is not really very clear from any of UP's website or ads - and I think this needs to be broadcast. I came to UP having got about 5 years experience of using MyFitnessPal religiously so I wasn't really sure what else UP could add to this. Now I know! They have their own nutrition app and it's way better than MFP. They completely customise it to your own goals and targets. It makes accountability completely transparent and it's so easy to use / follow. For me, I would say that this aspect (the nutritional support, education and the app) has been what most unexpectedly propelled me over the line. I knew the gym and the trainers would be great - I didn't know about the app. I only wish I had signed up with them 5 years ago! In summary - if you've considered going with them, do it. I know it is expensive - but I promise you, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: My time at Ultimate Performance has been an incredible journey so far. My trainer immediately made me feel at ease and really took the time to explain everything thoroughly and understand my goals. Not only have I benefited physically, but the advantages of training at UP have significantly helped me mentally too. I’m so grateful for the constant support, advice and belief. It’s been worth every single penny!

Fantastic experience: Great Personal Training gym in the City. Convenient if you work in the city so one less excuse! Great facility and staff. Knowledgeable trainers, mine is great and everything focused around improving every session! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at UP City for a few months now and it’s been an incredibly positive experience. I’ve lost 11kg so far (including a few weeks of slip ups and Christmas), am stronger and feel so much more confident in the gym. With the programming, attention to detail and support I’ve got, I know it could’ve been so much more, if hadn’t taken the timeouts I have. But the real change in me has been outside the gym. I feel happier, more energetic and better able to deal with stress. I don’t rely on food or booze to keep balance, I genuinely feel my training does that for me now. All of the trainers are incredibly nice, funny and welcoming, as well as clearly very good at what they do. My trainer makes it though - as well as being clearly very knowledgable, he is supportive, very funny and I feel he really understands me. On the occasions where I have slipped up, he has trodden the line between pushing and supporting perfectly. I’m very glad I’ve met and trained with him and look forward to continuing my UP journey.

Fantastic experience: After many years trying to achieve a healthier lifestyle, and ultimately failing, I needed help. I knew my nutrition was a major factor so after a lot of research,I came across Ultimate Performance. A visit to the London City branch was more than enough to convince me to sign up there and then! On day one, my personal trainer went through everything with me: from what I’d been eating to the dreaded measurements. She also showed me how to use the correct forms while performing each exercise while also testing my limits. I pushed myself hard on that first day and am not embarrassed to say that I nearly passed out! This was going to be a real challenge. Not only did I receive a meal plan but tons of encouragement shortly after staggering my way home. I’ve been training with Ultimate Performance for just over 4 months now and have dropped from 78kg all the way down to 63kg, increased my strength and watched my body finally take shape. I mean, I can actually see my abs appearing slowly but surely…..something I’ve never been able to achieve before. I’m so much happier and more confident in myself. My trainer has been with me every step of the way and I appreciate everything that she’s done to help me on this journey…..even being flexible enough to start training at 6:30am! The site itself has everything you need and because it’s use is for their personal trainers, you’ll not have any trouble moving from set to set. The team are very friendly and welcoming, often asking how I’m doing and commenting on noticeable changes in me. I don’t have the easiest name to pronounce, but they all know it without me introducing myself…and pronouncing it correctly which has never happened before. If you’ve managed to get this far, then you should arrange to meet the team and see it for yourself! Everyone is different and you do need to put the work in but you’re measured every couple of weeks (including photos) so you can see your progress and keep you motivated. You’ll have access to their app where you can log your meals, message your trainer and all of your progress and photos will appear there too! I can’t thank my trainer enough for everything she’s done to help me achieve my goals. My entire lifestyle has changed for the better! I highly recommend Ultimate Performance! See for yourself! Also, try their chocolate protein shake! It really does taste amazing!

Fantastic experience: After years of contemplating signing up, I finally did it. Working with the team at UP City has completely changed my mindset with food, training and improved my confidence overall. The team are fun, knowledgeable and welcoming on every visit. They're always on hand to support whether in the gym or via email. Unlike any other PT I've had, they pay careful attention to every rep, ensuring everything is spot on! The fortnightly checks, photos are what adds to the experience, talking through the highlights of the previous two weeks, updating a range of measurements and taking progress photos - kept in the app. The atmosphere is amazing - great music, everyone gets on - clients and trainers. After my first 12 weeks, I'm continuing the journey!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend UP enough. After struggling with my weight and confidence for a long time I decided to join UP and glad I did, changed my life. The results have been incredible and i'm only half way. Everyone there is great but My Trainer is amazing, he's been super supportive, motivating, funny, he's the best :) It's a hard journey but a well worth one, no pain no gain right!!! Gym facilites are great and easy to get to. Thank you UP and my amazing trainer.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful trainer! Would recommend to everyone. UP will listen to your goals and make sure your training program suits you. My trainer was amazing!!

Fantastic experience: UP has been great for me, my trainer is switched one, has helped correct my form, I feel stronger and I’ve made great progress!

Fantastic experience: I was sceptical about whether it would be possible to get the results I wanted in such a short period, especially as I work long and unpredictable hours. But the program has been amazing, and my trainer has been incredible throughout. It makes such a difference to be able to turn up to training, with an individual plan designed by a professional trainer, and be able to see the great results so quickly. Everyone at UP City wants to see you succeed – it is a genuinely friendly and supportive place, where the trainers work hard, and clients get out what they put in. The help with both training and nutrition has really paid off, and being able to keep in touch outside of training sessions through the UP App has been really useful. Most importantly, it has made my training fun! I cannot recommend UP City enough – my only regret is that I did not sign up sooner!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have ever dreamed of the results I have seen from my transformation. I came into the process hoping I would be able to lose weight and have more self confidence, but not much beyond that. I have finished my transformation achieving the weight loss I hoped for (and in actual fact so much more than I hoped for), but also a real change in the way I will approach my life going forward. When I started with my trainer, I thought nothing of (and actually looked forward to) eating food which would give me short sugar highs and contain loads of empty calories. Only a few months later, I now don’t even want to eat stuff which I know won’t be nutritionally positive for me. As someone who would think nothing of buying a cheesecake for 12 people and eating it on my own as a pudding in one night, I still can’t quite believe it! My self confidence is sky high - if I can focus and achieve what I have at UP over only a few months, despite years of previously “trying” and failing, then there is nothing I can’t turn my mind to next. There aren’t enough words to describe how UP, but particularly my trainer, has changed my life. I have enjoyed every session, every word of encouragement and support. I know my experience over the last few months is a moment and turning point that will stay with me for the rest of my life - I will be forever grateful to him for helping me achieve my goals and never able to thank him enough.

Fantastic experience: I started my UP programme off the back of a personal recommendation in May this year. The journey so far has been nothing short of life changing. After more than five years of mainly being with my young ones, my fitness level was low and I had no structured exercises in the week. The UP programme was the right balance of structure and flexibility that helped me get back into exercising. UP City is a friendly, lively and uplifting place to be each week. All the trainers there are so warm and encouraging. I trained three times a week with Klaudia. Her attention to detail and professional knowledge have ensured that each exercise I do was carefully selected and at the right level. I suffer from weak knees so she only introduced split squat once she was happy that the necessary muscles were strong enough. I felt that she really worked hard to select the right weight for me for the resistance training too. So I was able to train effectively and also injury free. She ensured my drinks and shakes were ready. She wiped the equipment before I go on. The details really showed her work ethic and caring nature. She also worked to make it fun and helped me to work on being able to do pull-ups as something I always wanted to learn. I felt great to be able to do these with the help of bands. The UP programme is really well thought-through. The App itself is easy to use to track my diet and a lot of food can be scanned in with little effort. There is also the flexibility to change the nutritional details. There is a message function that allows you to stay in direct and constant contact with your PT. As a busy mum, I have also found Klaudia very flexible and understanding. There are times when my little ones were unwell and I couldn’t get in. She designed some easy and effective exercises that I could do with the pair of weights I already had at home. Each week, I felt that I could juggle my training times to fit around childcare. I am almost half way through the programme and have lost 10kg. My energy, sleep and health have all improved, it’s been such a transformation. I look forward to continuing on this journey.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with UP for the past number of months and can not recommend it enough. The trainers are incredibly knowledgable and apply the right level of pressure to keep you focused and motivated. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about my experience at Ultimate Performance. I've been to other personal trainers in commercial gyms, and also private personal training studios. Nothing compares to my experience at Ultimate Performance. My results have been nothing short of incredible and truly transformational. I have never had a trainer so invested in my personal success - they are with you every step of the way, both inside and outside of the gym. The facilities are great. The technology, in particular the UP app, is super impressive. It took me a while to sign up but it is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Fantastic experience: UP has changed my approach to fitness -> feel much healthier and better about myself than before joining. Been training with UP with 1.5 years now. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: UP is the best investment in myself I've made in my whole life - and I say this having worked out with many PTs and in many gyms in the past. I initially chose UP because it was easy for commuting purposes, but knowing what I know now, I would travel here from afar! The atmosphere in the gym is hugely supportive, friendly, and it's plentifully evident every trainer is determined to deliver progression and success for their clients. Looking at the clients with their rapidly shrinking waistlines, increasingly toned muscles, and smiles (sometimes grimaces!) of achievement, it's clear that the hard workouts UP trainers design help each client to break through their perceived barriers in every session. It's difficult to describe just how utterly fantastic my trainer has been. She genuinely cares about my progression and success, stays in constant contact with me, and most importantly she's a highly qualified expert at her job. I could not praise her laser focus on form or the nutrition help she provides highly enough. It doesn't take a village to get the results when you've got a trainer like her in your corner. While each workout is hard (some of them really very hard indeed), I've never left the gym feeling like I could not do that again; that's what makes her so skilled at her job, imparting a feeling like I can totally do all this again even though I'm going to struggle to make it out of the gym. The UP programme requires commitment and hard work, but the investment will reap rewards you didn't think possible. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent and methodical training that can flexibly accommodate body composition or performance goals. I’ve trained consistently for around 10 years and my trainer has still managed to find ways to help me push beyond previous limitations by focusing and re-training very technical aspects of my movement patterns. If you’re serious about results and measured performance you’ll enjoy training here, but objectively not a service for everyone.

Fantastic experience: UP City is a great space with all the facilities you need to do proper gym work. There is a great atmosphere, dictated by the fact that the space is never too busy and is populated with some really serious trainers, at the top of their game, who always greet you with a friendly smile.

Fantastic experience: Working with these guys has transformed the way I think about fitness and the rewards and payback has been measurable and far exceeded any gains I've been able to achieve elsewhere. The team at UP City has changed my life. They strike the perfect balance of knowledge, experience, nutritional guidance and training support. They make you focus, make you laugh and help you achieve your goals with outstanding results. An incredible bunch of people, creating the best atmosphere with all the knowledge and experience you’ll ever need to change your shape and improve your health and well-being. I've had an incredible experience and would highly recommend the UP City team.

Fantastic experience: This is my second time at Ultimate Performance and I'm so glad I came back. The training programs are so specific, carefully tailored to the needs of each individual client. Clear targets and consistency bear results throughout the process, both physically and mentally, and spur you on toward your goals. I can't recommend UP Fitness enough.

Fantastic experience: After 6 weeks - and one stone lighter - I've been really impressed by UP London City. Compared to other personal training I've had in the past, the support to reach your goals with UP extends well outside of your gym sessions, with analysis of your diet, and your progress every week so that things can be tweaked as you go. The trainers are a brilliant mix of friendly and motivating, and pay really close attention to you as an individual. And it's a fun, welcoming atmosphere in the gym. Never crowded as everyone else is on 1on1 sessions. It's not cheap, but I really feel you get what you pay for.

Fantastic experience: A great place to be a part of. I feel welcome here everyday I walk in, everyone says hi, and cares that you have a good experience not just the trainers but other customers, we're all rooting for each other. From the start I knew UP would be good, but I certainly didn't expect the results that I've had. I started at 89.3kg at 21.1% body fat - I've lost 10kg and I'm at 9.4%, I'm shredded, best shape of my life. I've learnt a lot of discipline and focus I've also learnt how to look after myself both physically and in terms of my diet. Developing good habbits is key and I'm well on my way. I'm extremely hard on myself to ensure I'm accountable for my actions. My UP Transformation wasn't going to be any different. I quit drinking, I reduced my coffee intake by 4/5 shots a day. My trainer has helped me through everything. Not just the lifting, not just the diet. I do honestly feel like I've made a friend, someone I can trust. When I'm down he elevates me - if I'm hyper (which I often am) he grounds me. On top of all that, he puts up with all my stupid jokes, not easily done. His aren't much better though. If you're ready to start your transformation - bad timing is never an excuse - UP is the place to do it. Just remember that you're in the driving seat, not your trainer, not the money you paid. You are in control and you need to give it your all.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome! Friendly and knowledgeable trainers, great equipment and atmosphere. I started out with no clue what I was doing but my trainer is teaching me everything at my own pace. 7 weeks in and really seeing results. If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Fantastic experience: I joined in October this year and can honestly say it was the best investment I have made in myself ever, I have been a member of various gyms in the past but none come close to the level of professionalism and quality of the trainers at U.P. My coach has been extremely helpful in preparing me for the road ahead both mentally and physically. He was honest from day one with my current physical ability and has put in place a very structured approach for me to hit my goal. I am almost at the end of my first phase into the transformation, I have lost over 12kg and have noticed a huge difference in both my appearance and confidence. I know I am in the best possible place and the team at U.P have everything I need to get to my goal. I would recommend U.P to anyone who is looking to invest in their own health and well-being…. It will be the best investment you could ever make. A huge thank you to all those that have played a part in my journey so far.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Ultimate Performance enough. If you want to make a change, get fitter, lose weight and get stronger, go for it! From day one my trainer has been on my side, providing support and boosting my confidence in the gym, ensuring my form’s correct and building strength week by week. With support with my diet too, 10kg down in 11 weeks, exactly where I’d hoped to be but not where I would be if I’d not gone to UP!

Fantastic experience: I joined UP in 2020 with a goal in mind but overtime I learnt that it is not just about controlled diets, training hard but it’s a lifetime change that puts you first in life. UP works with you to achieve your goals, no matter what it is. Yes you want to achieve results fast but not everyone can stick to a plan. I for one struggled with my plan and still do. What I respect the most about UP – is that they never give up on you – even when you don’t stick to a plan. Yes a lot can be achieved if you stick to the plan but it does not always happen. However over time I have and still am slowing adjusting in the right direction. UP (my PT) has continuously optimised, innovated and transforms my sessions - with a common goal to help me achieve results. Every session is hard work, painful, and often I want to call 999 . However, training with UP is/has been a lifetime change – boy or girl, you will be pushed to your limits, no matter hard it gets or how much it hurts – but at the end of each session, you always leave with a sense of achievement and for some reason I still go back for more. Training with UP seems to have become an lifetime addiction and a lifetime support team in helping you achieve your own goals that focuses on you! They are more than just trainers, they are an amazing and highly motivated team helping others to achieve their goals in life.

Fantastic experience: I cannot remind this enough. I was recommended to give them a try after trying elsewhere. It may look initially intimidating to see the weights and equipment initially, but the team is very friendly, listen to your goals and hugely supportive for you to achieve what you want and get you results you probably did not realise can be achieved. Hugely professional and highly recommended. The trainers aren’t just helping you progress when you’re in the gym, they support you through whatever plan or goal you choose. I have been really impressed with my trainer, and they select a trainer who suits you and that made a difference for me.

Fantastic experience: In recent years I've had a very sedentary job, with long hours, and too many take-aways paid for by the company. During lockdown I put on a lot of weight and was especially alarmed when I noticed basic things, like bending down to tie my shoes, or walk up stairs, were causing me to puff in exhaustion. It was this that prompted me to seek help from the professionals at UP. The gym itself has a wide variety of machines and weights to suit whatever your need. It is hygienic and well maintained. The trainers will create a programme catered specifically for you based on your individual wants and needs. They prioritise giving you the knowledge, and assistance, you need to make sure you can train effectively without injuring yourself and that is always a priority. My trainer specifically was easy to get a long with and a great person to talk to. They were very supportive whilst pushing me to my limits. Building a rapport with a trainer is hugely important as I saw them 3 times a week: more often than I see anyone else at the moment! Unfortunately our progress was side-lined for over 3 months by an injury (due to something outside of the gym) and we had to almost start again. Throughout this my trainer had the patience of a saint and should be commended for the way he dealt with it. I did joke that he deserves some sort of medal for putting up with my nonsense but I stand by that statement to be honest. Upon returning we very quickly got back to it and caught up with where we were. I appreciate that this has become a bit of a wall of text but I cannot speak highly enough about this gym and the people within it. If you are at all on the fence about this decision then go for it! It is a decision you won't regret and a positive investment for your future. Thanks again to UP and to my trainer specifically!

Fantastic experience: I've worked out off and on - with minimal results - over the years. Despite best intentions I've always gone through bursts of activity and motivation that promptly stop - either because I haven't been making good progress, so have given up, or because it's been going quite well and I've decided that I don't need to do it anymore... so have given up. Training at UP over the last three months has opened my eyes to a better approach - one that works. My trainer's amazing - a mountain of a man who's part bodybuilder, part zen monk and who's been playing me like a fiddle (psychologically speaking) since day one to keep me progressing towards my goals. Glad I signed up.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been a gym person and like many people I struggled with weight gain after lock down. I decided to do something more drastic and that’s what brought me to Ultimate Performance. It’s been a hugely transformative experience for me. My trainer is attentive and pushes me to achieve results with the tough love I needed! I feel confident in the gym now but more importantly in my everyday life too. The atmosphere and encouragement from all the trainers makes it a great place to work out. I’m looking forward to carrying on working out at UP City which has changed so much in my life by giving me body confidence something I never had before. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having never been a ‘gym person’ my whole life the idea of joining Ultimate Performance was a daunting one for me. My worries we’re alleviated almost immediately in my first session. The trainers are all really friendly and there’s a great feel to the place that makes you welcome no matter what stage in your training you’re at. My trainer has been very motivating and half way through my programme have managed to achieve more than I thought I was capable of. Would highly recommend to anyone considering!

Fantastic experience: Blown away by UP St Paul’s and in particular my trainer Shaun Beukman. I’ve had a few PTs over the years and Shaun has been top notch. Every session i make more progress than I ever could manage when training alone. The focus on correct form is great. Equally Shaun keeps me honest on nutrition when away from the gym. I rarely write reviews but am happy to spread the word for a service that is so great for physical and mental well being.

Fantastic experience: I loved my experience with U.P. It was a re-orientation for me especially in terms of nutrition and understanding body composition. My trainer is AWESOME and was a perfect fit for me, he was as motivated as I was and overall supportive of my goals even post U.P. I hope I can look back over the years and note this program as the turning point for me, for my health & other parts of my life. Although the cost is “above average” as are the results I would say. It’s an investment in health and hopefully with long term benefits that yield a higher return over time. I highly recommend U.P. paired with reading Atomic Habits.

Fantastic experience: As someone who is not a natural gym bunny and with little experience in weight training, I was intimidated to start working with UP. It's a serious gym and the trainers and clients alike are there to get results. Happily my trainer handled my inexperience and my nerves with compassion, good humor, and patience - and still maintained their very high standards with regards to my effort, output and form. The trainers at UP are incredibly knowledgeable about fitness, diet, and the requisite mindset needed to achieve your goals. While the gym is best known for its "transformation" programs, in my experience the trainers will listen closely to what you as the client are looking to achieve and will tailor your program to meet that, as well as providing as much support as you need beyond your time on the gym floor.

Fantastic experience: My trainer at UP is amazing. I can honestly say I have never had a PT like her. She is supportive, tough (when she needs to persuade me that yes I can lift these weights), always there when I need advice (telling me I don’t need any chocolate at 7pm, have a cup of tea instead). I have made huge changes to my diet, lifestyle and exercise regime in just 10 weeks and I feel the benefit of having lost over 14 kilos. I cannot rate UP highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of UP for almost two months now and it's the fittest and strongest I've ever been. I was previously very intimidated by gyms and had no idea how to use any of the equipment but the atmosphere at UP has been so welcoming and supportive, all of the trainers are super friendly and absolute experts. The sessions are amazing, I never thought I'd look forward to exercise or going to the gym but I find myself counting down the days until my next training session. The plans are created perfectly for you to achieve your own goal and they really make sure they understand you, your priorities and lifestyle to achieve the best results. If anyone is looking to lose weight, get stronger, fitter or healthier and make sustainable lifestyle changes this really is something I would really recommend.

Fantastic experience: I started at UP around eight weeks ago and it's changed my life so much for the better. I have great communication with my trainer, who makes working out in a gym something I look forward to rather than dread. What I love about UP is that when you walk into the gym, there's a sense of community from the trainers to the clients, everyone is so friendly, there for the same goal and always there to motivate each other! Training at UP has been life changing. It's given me confidence, more energy and helped me focus on my mindset and mental health. Thank you UP and to my amazing trainer who is just the best EVER.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of UP for almost 3 months, both the training and the nutrition planning has been first class. I have seen a massive improvement in the intensity and technique of my training - a result of the UP Trainers and how they structure the sessions. All the numbers have moved consistently in the right direction; body fat and weight down with strength increasing. I would strongly recommend; not only those looking to become fitter/ stronger but also to learn new lifestyle habits to take with you moving forward. All the coaches are also very welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I came into the gym low on body confidence and skinny fat. That problem was irradiated fast! My trainer helped me to gain confidence to be able to lift weights correctly and learn how to manage my diet correctly. If you follow the nutritional plan and put the effort in on the sessions, the results will come. The gym is extremely friendly and every other person I have spoken to who trains there has had the exact same great experience.

Fantastic experience: I had a really great time at UP City! I had a specific goal and my trainer was very professional and helped me execute my plan extremely well. I very quickly learnt the discipline that was required in order to get to where I personally wanted to be, physically and mentally. I highly recommend UP for all those that are serious and dedicated to achieving their goals. It's hard work, but definitely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Wow.... where do I start? A big UP to Andy, Matt, Ryan and Tom to name a few and all the other personnel trainers who made me feel so welcome and provided support and chats of encouragement. I have had the most fantastic experience of completing a 15 week body transformation program. From the start I knew this was the gym for me. At the top of the stairs as you make your way to the gym they have a sign that reads "Where the excuses stop and the hard work begins ". This coincides with my Polar login which reads "Winners win, losers make excuses". From the start Ultimate Performance meet with you to discuss your goals and aspirations, then select a trainer who shares similar interests and outlook to you. I was paired with Andy Farquharson who was just fantastic, the best! The thing with UP is that every small detail is deliberate, nothing happens by chance! All other clients I spoke with all thought they had the best personnel trainer; but little did they know that I had the best one!! This just goes to show the quality of all the personnel trainers at UP, they are all at the top of their game. Everyone is really friendly and chatty in the changing room. On the gym floor it’s down to the business of hard work and results. I used my personnel training sessions to escape from the world and forget about what was happening which suited me to a tee. Andy's support and encouragement from the start was just great, I could contact him at any time and he would reply to my queries especially around food. I have learned so much from him about food and the good habits that I need to bring forward with me on life's journey. I now prepare all my own meals from scratch and feel comfortable reading the calorie / energy numbers on food packaging. It took two years of making excuses to myself before I finally signed up to their program. I often ask myself why did I not do it sooner? As soon as I had my consultation I wanted to start there and then. I whole hardheartedly recommend UP City gym to anyone that is thinking about transforming their lives not just their body. UP City transform lives and I can't wait to return later in the year for a six week program. Andy Farquharson words cannot describe my gratitude to you and all the personal trainers at UP City! Memories that I will treasure.........

Fantastic experience: This personal training studio is great. First recommended by British Airways, I therefore committed to take this 10 week journey. Everything will be tailor-made for individuals. With extensive training and strict(but scientific) diet, my plan works well. My PT is Adam Wright, very nice gentleman who pushes me to my limit and encourage me psychologically. I still have few weeks to go. But clear progress has been seen. Overall, this brand is wroth your money.
