Ultimate Performance Personal Trainers London City

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend UP highly enough. The support that they provide, both on and off the gym floor, has helped me achieve real results in only a few months - I am now back at a point where I like what I see in the mirror again, while still staying strong in the gym and keeping a healthy lifestyle. The trainers are amazing and really understand the demands of busy City jobs and all the accompanying social events, and their ability to work around that has been so helpful during my time at UP. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Training with Lamar has been a truly life-changing experience. From day one, he was incredibly helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable. He gave me the confidence to feel comfortable in the gym — something I never thought I’d achieve. Lamar took the time to show me how to use all the machines properly, taught me how to track my progress, and was always on hand with expert advice and encouragement. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel so much stronger and more capable than ever before. The transformation I’ve experienced has been amazing, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come. I can’t thank Lamar enough for his dedication and motivation. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real, lasting change in their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Ultimate Performance City for just over two months now since returning to London having previously trained at UP last summer. I have already lost 15KG — something I never thought I’d achieve this quickly! The results speak for themselves, but what’s made the journey even more incredible is the support I’ve received from my personal trainer, Tom Walker. They’ve gone above and beyond every step of the way — tailoring sessions to my goals, motivating me through tough days, and celebrating every milestone with genuine excitement. The whole atmosphere at the gym is amazing. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and know how to push you that little bit further without it ever feeling forced. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to show up and put in the work. I couldn’t recommend Tom Walker and the team at Ultimate Performance more highly. If you’re serious about your fitness goals, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere at U.P. has always been supportive and encouraging, which has helped me stay on track with my goals. I feel very comfortable reaching out to my trainer (Aurelija) for any advice and the responses are always super quick and helpful. The gym itself has great facilities and I cannot recommend U.P. enough if you want to be successful on a wellness journey!

Fantastic experience: Have been going to UP City for almost 2 years now - Aurelija is awesome and I really love training with her! Good location and facilities!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Up has been great. Half way through my journey and my trainer Jay has been brilliant. Attentive to my goals and clear with what we can achieve and what we can work on together. It is a real partnership in training. He makes each session fun but at the same time extremely informative and teaches correct techniques which will continue to help me as i progress once im finished. The advice also offered by UP Jay around nutrition has been invaluable and insightful

Fantastic experience: Experienced and friendly PTs! Fully personalized programme that delivers real results with the right amount of support to stay motivated. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, super professional - Dom is an incredible PT. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to make some change in their life!

Fantastic experience: I joined UP in November, and my body fat has gone from 30% to 16%. I never realised just how fat I was! The things that have completely stood out for me is that my trainer has been completely on top of me, helping me pick out foods in restaurants, helping me meal plan for holidays and has taken into account all of my personal preferences and needs (medical history, a vegetarian diet and not being in charge of meal prep). Of course, my trainer has worked me hard, and I come out of sessions shattered, but I think the thing he has completely changed for me is my outlook, my understanding of training, and my planning around my diet. I have no doubt that many of the changes he has made, I will carry with me long after my course has finished. While he has made me stronger, and leaner, I think the biggest gift that my trainer has given me is the skills that I know that I have faith in my ability to continue.

Fantastic experience: Training with Jay at Ultimate Performance has transformed the way that I see health and fitness. I have learned alot about nutrition and exercising safely and correctly. Jay is amazing! He ensures that everything is tracked, from your macros to water. He also ensures that every rep is done accurately so that I receive the full benefits of my training session. Before training with UP, I trained by myself and used commercial gyms. However, I have never got the results that I have now with UP. I have also had a session with a few other Personal Trainers at UP and the standard remains exceptional! If you are serious about your health and want results, contact UP as soon as possible!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend UP Gym highly enough. While it may not be the cheapest personal training service available, it is undoubtedly the most effective. As someone (in my 40's) who has never set foot in a gym, engaged in sports, or had any knowledge of nutrition, my experience with UP Gym has been (unexpectedly) transformative. I was fortunate to be paired with Si as my personal trainer. I greatly appreciate his professionalism, extensive knowledge, and patience. Si has an incredible ability to motivate and make me feel at ease throughout the entire process. He recognises the (many) challenges I face and effectively problem-solves each one, which I truly value. Overall, UP Gym has provided me with the ideal partnership for my personal training journey, and I am grateful for the positive impact it has had, so far.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at UP City since August last year, and it’s lived up to all the reports I read before starting about being the gold standard of personal training. It’s got me a lot stronger and a lot leaner, and was a huge part of me getting a massive Hyrox PB in November. My PT Jay has been brilliant: super knowledgeable, highly enthusiastic and upbeat, pushes me hard, but always cheerful and a good laugh at the same time. The other UP City PTs (Aurelija and Conor) who’ve filled in when Jay occasionally can’t make a session have also been great. Generally speaking UP City’s a great place to come and train 3 times a week, and I’m always inspired to put the work in even when I’m not especially feeling like it going in. Still a lot more gains to go after, and won’t be stopping any time soon. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at UP London City for about 4 months now. I came to put myself back on track with an ambition to focus better on my health and fitness that I’d been able to previously achieve. The body transformation program has not only reshaped me physically but it has transformed my lifestyle approach, especially when it comes to my diet. UP offers a straight up and focused approach, with bi weekly measurements and photos to enable you to track your progress (and to keep you honest about your commitment to the programme). Their app enables you to record your daily weight, water intake and diet to keep you honest and to give your trainer all the supplementary data they need to understand how your body is responding to your personalised training plan. You can see all the trainers are laser focused on their clients in the studio. You feel like an “Olympic athlete” as you become 110% of their focus during your training hour. They put all their emphasis on technique perfection and sports science to design your programme for results vs. how much you can lift for how many reps. My trainer has totally changed how I think and approach every exercise from a technique and form perspective. I feel like my trainer is equally vested in my success, as much as I am. As much as I train at UP for my personal goals, I feel a unique responsibility to achieve results for my trainer, in return for all the effort he puts into my personal training plan. This is not a place you come to if you expect results to “just happen”. You have to strictly focus on what your trainer advises you to do, including everything you eat. It will be bloody difficult at times but your trainer is there to help keep you motivated and focused. My trainer certainly empathised with all the feelings I have being on a strict diet vs. preaching to me and pretending it is all easy and effortless. He has adjusted my diet plan when needed to guide me as to how best to keep my cravings in check and to give my body moments of craving satisfaction whilst staying within my nutrition targets. With your trainer’s support you really can remain focused and in control to enable you to measure, see and feel the results. The London City studio is about to go through a full refurbishment (Nov 24) to enhance the studio environment and equipment. I’d certainly recommend UP’s 3 month transformation programme to anyone serious about getting fit and wanting a high quality trainer and programme to help them hit their goals. Good luck and enjoy your fitness journey with UP.

Negative experience: I've been training with Ultimate Performance since May 2024, and while the trainers themselves are outstanding, the overall experience with the UP company has been extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, UP as a business lacks professionalism and integrity. Key issues include: 1. Misleading information about personal trainer options and unclear processes regarding measurements and photos, which take up a significant portion of the PT session, leaving only half an hour for actual training. 2. The abrupt dismissal of highly skilled personal trainers without prior notice or explanation to clients. It’s disheartening to be unable to say goodbye to a trusted trainer because they are immediately blocked from the system. This harsh treatment, reportedly due to sales targets, is unsettling. 3. Failure to honor promised free sessions and consistently poor record-keeping, leading to incorrect charges for canceled or missed sessions. While I’m grateful to my amazing personal trainer, who helped me achieve my goals, my overall experience with Ultimate Performance has been overshadowed by their unprofessional and disappointing treatment of both clients and staff. I cannot recommend them as a company due to these serious shortcomings.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and atmosphere to take your training to the next level. The trainers seriously know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: Top-notch gym! The place is always buzzing, and the team are great—really welcoming and know their stuff. Jay’s been brilliant. Personal, makes it fun whilst pushing you hard, keeps you motivated and makes sure you’re getting the most out of every session. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: UP takes training to another level within an environment of highly personalised tailored programs created to fit every level- it’s a most welcoming, nurturing gym experience. Don’t turn up for a walk in the park this is serious training ….. but the results speak for themselves.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend UP and Christian enough - a great team that provides a seamless service that is very easy to trust and user friendly. In particular, Christian Dyer has made the process enjoyable and sustainable and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to kickstart their UP journey!

Fantastic experience: While I had deliberated starting with UP for a while as I'd seen the ads of amazing body transformations and didn't think they were possible for me, I have to say all my expectations have been exceeded with my experience at UP City. In particular, I'd like to give a shout-out to Christian, who is by far the best personal trainer I have ever had. My training program was personalized according to my goals, and Christian pushes me hard during my sessions and keeps me accountable in my diet. He's an absolute professional and I have learnt so much about working out and keeping fit. Now as I approach my target weight and body fat percentage - I have gone from 25% to 14% in 3 months, Christian continues to tailor my workout and nutritional plan as needed, monitoring my progress even during weekends and while he is on holiday. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone interested in finally getting in shape and being your best and fittest self.

Fantastic experience: Joined UP 2 months ago and am happy with the results so far. Obviously, it's quite pricey, but you know that you are efficiently working towards your goals and being helped daily on progression. Very big emphasis on correct form for exercises which develop good habits and always pushed to maximum I can do while still very considerate around any injuries or discomfort that may occur during the program.

Fantastic experience: The best training place in London. Very results orientated and they simply deliver - incredible how consistent results are. Trainers know their stuff back to front - I’ve been taught to train properly now which will help for years to come. Great atmosphere and a pleasure to train. It’s pricey but worth it, should have done it years ago.

Fantastic experience: Currently halfway through my third stint at UP City. I keep coming back as this is surely the most efficient and productive way to reach whatever fitness goals you might have. My current trainer Christian D. obviously knows his stuff and is clearly at the very top of his game. Programmes are hyper-personalised, focusing on goals, lifestyle constraints, mobility issues etc. and are constantly adapted and fine-tuned. No secret that the prices are on the high side (although probably not that much than a monthly membership plus 3x a week PT at e.g. Equinox or other elite gyms) but unbeatable bang-for-you-buck. Genuinely life altering experience that will change the way you look at food and training for good. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for three months with the City of London UP after completing a year of physiotherapy to recover from a complicated full shoulder replacement operation, where almost all the right shoulder had been replaced with metal and bone cement. I had discussed returning to resistance training with my surgeon, who was sceptical, but said it might be possible providing I undertook the movements carefully - slowly and without dynamic shifts that carry the danger of shear. I found this advice counter-intuitive and fussy, howeve I gave the advice to my trainer Finn McGowan, who planned a programme that is restoring both my fitness and strength, concentrating on precise and safe form. The success of this way of working became apparent when I met my surgeon for a two-year review. We found that what remains of my naturel shoulder bone is strengthening, and the extensive prosthetic work has remained in exactly the same position as originally set. To our surprise, resistance weight training, undertaken knowledgably and consistently can greatly benefit recovery from a complicated mechanical operation at any age. My surgeon and I put this success down to the training I have received with Finn at UP, where a patient, but determined trainer that insists on progressive improvement and safe form has show how restoration of all my former strength and dexterity is possible. I am very pleased with the result, and am extending my subscription at UP for another six to nine months, as this is a effective way of training with clear results. The atmosphere at UP is conducive to working, where improvement is measured and taken very seriously in a friendly, enthusiastic and professional manner. I (and my GP, family and friends) have been astonished at what can be achieved. What I am learning, both in terms of technique and confidence, is something that will stay with me long after I complete my time here.

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend Rianne Parris-Wright at Ultimate Performance London City highly enough! Working with her has been a transformative experience. Rianne has not only helped me focus on myself and my fitness journey, but she's also empowered me to lift weights I never thought I could. Her support, knowledge, and encouragement have been invaluable in helping me build strength, both physically and mentally. If you're looking for a personal trainer who truly cares and pushes you to become the best version of yourself, Rianne is the one! Thank you, Rianne!

Fantastic experience: Working out at UP (3 separate stints over last 5 years) has been a real revelation into what is possible for the body - UP pushes you relentlessly to do the best you are capable of doing and keep you honest and accountable throughout. It is much more than a Transformation. They adapt to what you need and make you earn that one hour at the gym each time. Brilliant.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with my trainer, Lamar for 9 months. It’s been an amazing experience. I’ve lost 16kg and 10% body fat. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my strength and fitness. I’m in my 50s and post menopausal. Thanks to Lamar and UP I’m fitter and stronger than I’ve ever been. Lamar is highly knowledgeable. There’s a lot of emphasis on getting the right form / technique. It’s about making every rep count. There’s no cheating - ever! He’s constantly checking-in (even at weekends and holidays), supportive and fun to work with. My training plan is tailor-made for me. It’s constantly reviewed and adjusted as needed. There is no one-size fits all at UP. It’s a personalised approach with constant fine tuning to maximise results. The app is easy to use and is a great tool to keep me on track with my eating plan and nutrition. The UP trainers are constantly learning and improving their training methods. By sharing this information with their clients I now have a much better understanding about my body, nutrition and training techniques. The entire UP team and the other clients are very supportive and friendly. If you’re looking to transform your health and fitness - UP are your team And for Lamar : 5 gold stars

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Ulas at UP for the last 16 weeks and it’s been a transformational experience! Not only am I stronger both physically and mentally, I’ve learned so much about my nutrition and exactly what it takes to get the results I want. Ulas has supported me every step of the way, building a custom plan based on my personal goals, pushing me to the next level in the gym and helping me stay on track with my nutrition. I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to continuing, thank you Ulas!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience training with Lamar for three months. UP personal training is really outstanding when it comes to the knowledge, dedication and qualification of the personal trainer as well as the structure and organisation of the whole company. I have not only massively improved my physique and energy levels, but also learned so much about nutrition and training that I will benefit from for a life time.

Fantastic experience: Lamar is the best PT I have ever worked with (I had around 5). No one compared to his strict discipline which is why I decided to invest in this programme. I have lost around 10kg in around 15 weeks and gained muscle at the same time, we haven’t even finished the programme (will be a very sad goodbye). Anyone who is considering to invest in their health and appearance- UP is 100% recommended. All the other PTs are super lovely too!

Fantastic experience: I joined UPfitness in October 2023 trying to be healthier - with 0 gym/weightlifting experience, and highly intimidated by gyms, I thought UP was going to be 12 weeks of hell. I was so wrong! Not only did I end up enjoying it so much I continued with it many months after, I also found a love for weightlifting and working out! The program also made me realise I had not been eating enough for years - it’s been very transformative from that angle as well which I never would’ve imagined. I overall think this is a great program for women - my trainer has been very diligent with my form and progress is obvious both in performance, my mood and, of course, the mirror. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Positive experience: I recently joined a 6-week (18 sessions) personal training program after careful consideration. While I found the training format and the trainers' knowledge to be impressive, there were some aspects of the experience I didn't enjoy. If you're considering joining or before making a payment, here are some recommendations: * Ask about the personal trainer's (PT) profile and track record instead of accepting whoever is assigned based on availability. * Ensure your PT is not pushing or selling more sessions under the guise of having your best interests at heart. * Make sure your PT stays focused on you throughout the session, without wasting time at the start, middle, or end with upselling sessions or multivitamin products, unless you specifically want them. *Make sure you have the same trainer throughout the program, rather than being replaced by different trainers under the excuse of maintaining continuity while your PT takes on other clients. Overall, Ultimate Performance is good, but your experience may vary depending on the personal trainer you are assigned. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I joined UP back in September 2023. I had been trying to loose weight for most of my adult life and have always failed and ended up back where I started. With Imran and the whole UP teams help and guidance I've managed to get to the healthiest and fittest I've ever been and lost 30lbs/13kg so far. The workouts are great and my trainers knowledge and attention to detail are amazing. What I also think is totally worth the money is the accountability and guidance on food. My understanding of what food was 'healthy' or 'unhealthy' has completely changed and I feel this knowledge will help me as I move away from UP in the upcoming months and maintain the progress I've made by myself. Thanks to everyone there and of course especially Imran! Truly changed my life!

Fantastic experience: Probably the best PT programme. Individualised workout and nutrition, blood work, coaching. Super effective and would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer than Imran. I’ve never felt nor looked so good in my life! Imran is patient with me and pushes me to my limit in every session. There’s no better trainer in the world. His passion for fitness and training is so evident in every one of my sessions that he motivates me to achieve the impossible. I would highly recommend UP and specifically Imran for anyone that wants a real difference.

Fantastic experience: After walking past the UP advertisement for several months I finally took the courage and signed up in 2023. I was a bit sceptical of lifting weights as I had concerns about my health. I was suffering from a bad back and I was concerned lifting weights would make it worse. My PT at UP reassured me that it was good for me and that weight training would make my back pain better. He personally emailed me and encouraged me to get started. Slowly but surely, I have been training under his guidance for nearly a year now. Initially I had only planned to complete 12 sessions but having extended this by a year is testament to the support and guidance my PT has given me and the trust I place in him. I have managed to achieve great results in this time. There have been times when I have been down but my PT has constantly reassured me and made me believe in the process. Working with my PT has been great not only for my physical health but I can also see the positive impact of his guidance and my weight loss transformation on my mental health. Below are some of my achievements in the last year: Back pain gone completely. If nothing else this one thing that has changed my quality of life. My cholesterol markers have come down significantly to the point I have reduced my medication. Average weight lost 1% per week which was the target. Thanks a ton Imran and UP!! I would highly recommend anyone to sign up and get started on their journey to improved health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: My journey at UP has been transformational. I strengthened and shredded my physique, learning a lot during the process. Klaudia was pivotal in helping me reach all my objectives. She is highly technical, motivating and always present for you, characteristics that made her the best PT I have ever trained with. She could always get out of me that last rep that makes the real difference.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Lamar Douglas at Ultimate Performance since Dec 2022 and all I have to say is that results matter. While never really overweight, I lost 8 kg and 7 % body fat in 3 months and have consistently managed to get fitter while developing healthier habits and improving workout techniques. The UP approach isn't rocket science - discipline and accountability covering strength training, diet, sleep and cardiovascular exercise. But it works , and if you are committed, Lamar and his colleagues at UP will get you there through all ups and downs. The shared goal is to get fit and stay fit.

Fantastic experience: The program has definitely been transformative of my diet, training, lifestyle & overall attitude to nutrition. I have achieved more with UP in 8 weeks, than in the last 3 years before that! My trainer was awesome too :)

Fantastic experience: It's expensive without doubt, but ultimately worth every penny. My husband and I initially signed up for six weeks of two PT sessions per week but then extended it for another six weeks as we simply didn't want to stop. In those 12 weeks, I pushed myself harder than I've ever worked out before, and was more driven to achieve my goals, all because of the expert support and encouragement of my brilliant UP personal trainer. who made me believe I could do it. Overall, I lost ten kilos (22 pounds) and achieved my dream of being able to do pull ups! More fundamentally, however, I fell in love with lifting weights and feeling strong so the transformation went much deeper . Thank you, UP!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending personal training sessions here and the experience has been incredibly rewarding. The atmosphere is welcoming and positive, with everyone from staff to fellow gym-goers being friendly and encouraging. Smiles are everywhere, making every visit a pleasure. My trainer is exceptional – supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my progress. They push me to exceed my limits in the best way possible, and I've seen tangible improvements in my health and overall lifestyle. If you're looking for a place that will help you achieve your fitness goals while making you feel part of a supportive community, this is it.

Fantastic experience: There's no doubt about it - it can be a daunting prospect signing up to UP, not least because of the cost involved but also the commitment required. But by choosing to buy in to that, you get trainers with the same mindset - they are fully focused on getting you where you need to be and will be honest with you from day one about what will be required. These guys walk the walk, which can be the difference where other centres are concerned. I signed up because it was time to make a change. The working from home revolution had led to bad habits and a lack of exercise through being glued to the desk (sometimes for 12+ hour days) and it became far easier to just put off the seemingly difficult task of the physical stuff. Also whatever I've been trying to do on my own gym-wise for the last 20-odd years clearly wasn't having a noticeable effect to the degree I was aiming for. You can spend hours or even weeks in the rabbit-hole of the internet trying to research the best workouts, best nutrition etc. yourself, but sometimes you just need to get an expert in. And if like me you're lucky enough, you can also end up matched with a trainer who can be more than just that. I had support on more fronts than just diet and training; I benefited from a change of mental approach outside the gym and support with refocusing my outlook on certain things. Plus in addition to the visible change comes increased energy and self-confidence and a realisation that this stuff (as with most things) is all possible. Importantly, my trainer built me a foundation, not just an end product. There is that end-of-programme milestone as well, of course, but it's the habits and wider awareness that are laid down that are of most use when the allocated sessions are up. This is knowledge that can be carried forward to enable you to maintain the new self, both nutritionally and technique-wise, inside and outside the gym. My recommendation is without reservation - this is absolutely worth it. If you want to, you'll find a way; if you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at UP city for the last 4 months and honestly by far the best decision I’ve made for my weight loss journey. After 5 years of personal training else were and different diets that never worked for me I have seen huge results in the last 4 months at UP than the 5 years. My Trainer is on point, hands down amazing. My trainer pays attention to my Individual goals and needs, my Plan is tailored to me and I am guided every step of the way not just on the gym floor but also guided with food plan, steps and have the mental and emotional support as well. I feel I can always reach out to my Trainer or anyone on the gym floor as everyone is approachable and supportive. My Trainer checks in with me consistently and always ensures my training sessions are never boring or make me not want to come in. The results I have seen in a short space of time have really motivated me and am super excited to see my end transformation. It has already made a difference in my self confidence, My mood, and general well being. My advice would be trust the process and trust your trainer. Stick to the plan and your results will be big ! Thank you UP city and my amazing trainer for being apart of the start of my 2023 weight loss journey.

Fantastic experience: The whole UP training experience has been transformative for me, and the result speaks for itself. I initially signed up after being spurred on by a personal misfortune. I had also formed some bad eating habits over the years, and I kept getting injured every time I tried to get back to the gym. I was at the heaviest (>72kg) and unhealthiest stage of my life when I joined the UP branch at London City. The reviews and images of transformations from UP members at London Underground Stations encouraged me to join my local UP and take some action to improve my health. The personalised sessions and overall guidance from a dedicated senior trainer have helped me get down to 59kg to date (reduction of 13 kgs or 28 pounds). I love the whole experience; it has surpassed all expectations that I had for the program and for myself. I feel the strongest I have ever been and full of energy. I am grateful to have one of the best trainers at the gym; his no non-sense and straight-talking approach is honest, direct and result orientated. He has taught me “how to fish” so I can sustain the healthy and active lifestyle, and continue with the progress I have made. He helped me realise the key role played by nutrition and an active daily routine. Although I have been supported by my trainer, the entire gym has been extremely friendly and positive. It has been a pleasure getting to know the other helpful trainers and fellow motivated members. I would strongly recommend to anyone motivated to make positive changes to their health to have a consultation with UP. I personally wish I joined sooner.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym, I've tried numerous expensive and varied pts/gyms and none of them seem to stick like UP city has. Been amazing from day 1 and the results speak for themselves, if you are looking at reviews my biggest regret was not signing up earlier. Klaudia has been great every step of the way and helped me navigate this process expertly! it's the healthiest I've ever been and really enjoying it, my confidence has also gone up massively! can not give higher praise!

Fantastic experience: Excellent training program with a focus on technique, lifting heavier weights and recording your progress through the UP App which helps with consistency and accountability with your diet and steps each day. Great trainers which operate in a fun and friendly environment. Excellent results so far!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to Femi and the team for making me change my life to the better. This place is run by super professionals, with clear objectives in mind. They apply a holistic approach to their clients unlike any other gym I visited before. Great place, great people and great results!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend UP more. An incredible amount of detail is paid to each individual in order to put together a balanced programme - both in terms of nutrition, fitness and overall lifestyle. This is followed up by meticulous tracking, to help achieve the desired results. My trainer and overall staff more than exceeded my expectations (by almost 50% in terms of my target amount) - and this was all done in a sustainable manner over time, which can be maintained after the sessions are done. It works!

Fantastic experience: The Good: === I deliberated for months before finally signing up here and honestly wish I'd gotten started sooner. Working with the team here, particularly with my trainer Klaudia, has been nothing short of life changing. My whole attitude and behavior towards health and fitness has changed for the better. The accountability and guidance are priceless. Yes, you pay a lot but honestly the amount of time and effort Klaudia puts in towards making it a success is unbelievable. On a daily basis I get feedback on what I've eaten, my physical activity, my sleep, how my period might be affecting my weight or cravings, supplements I'm taking and so much more. I was away for 6 weeks out of the country and even though I had put my training on hold, Klaudia made a workout and diet plan and followed up everyday. Before I joined UP, I had tried and failed at various other fitness regimes and diets. I had high blood pressure and cholesterol and just could not stop eating takeaway. I joined strength training programs but just kept injuring myself. The trainers here make sure you follow the right form. You will get pushed hard but in a safe and sustainable way. The program is not rocket science but it takes dedication and determination to follow it. You WILL see results if you follow it. There will be occasional slip ups, but you will be guided through all of it. I have lost 9 kilos and 2 dress sizes. My blood pressure is under control and my cholesterol levels are normal. One of my goals is to be able to do unassisted pull-ups and I'm well on my way there! I would genuinely recommend UP to anyone who wants to make this life changing move. The Bad: === Their app, which you use to track your food, steps and weight, is absolutely rubbish. There is no thought for good UX, it takes way too many steps to enter any information. The clickable areas are tiny, and often you have to try clicking several times before it registers. The food database is a joke. 90% of food barcode scans don't work. There is no place to record any activity other than walking. I curse this app every damn day. It is a testament to how amazing my trainer is that, despite the daily pain the app causes, I still think UP should get 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: My journey at U.P has just begun and it’s been a fantastic start . I must say this has been one of the best decisions I made in my life . My trainer has been brilliant in working with my specific needs and truly understands what is necessary to help meet my goals . I can’t wait for the end results

Fantastic experience: Joining the gym has transformed my health and fitness journey. The trainers at UP are personable and create a customised programme to suit your needs. For me the biggest motivation was seeing my body getting stronger and leaner. I thoroughly enjoy the workouts and can't recommend the gym enough. Another bonus is the atmosphere at the City branch is warm and welcoming which makes working out fun!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Connor at Ultimate Performance was truly transformative. Under his guidance, I achieved the best health and fitness of my life while continuously monitoring my progress towards my weight and body fat goals. Connor's personalized nutrition plan and expertise in weight training played a vital role in my success. He tailored a nutrition plan that aligned with my lifestyle, helping me make sustainable choices and maintain a healthy lifestyle. With his meticulous approach, including regular measurements, I stayed on track and made necessary adjustments along the way. Connor's dedication to proper form and pushing me safely during weight training led to significant strength gains and noticeable improvements in my physique. His unwavering support and motivation empowered me to surpass my limits and achieve remarkable milestones. I highly recommend Connor and Ultimate Performance for their exceptional commitment to personal training. Their data-driven approach, combined with Connor's expertise and continuous monitoring, ensures remarkable results. With their guidance, I achieved my desired weight and body fat goals, and I am truly grateful for the transformative journey I experienced with them.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend UP 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: A great place to train. The attention to detail to make sure you get the technique right, so that you understand exactly what muscles are being used and how to make each set effective. It doesn’t feel like a quick fix. The goal from the trainers is to set you up to be able to continue training on your own. Having regular reviews to check your progress keeps you focussed. I look forward to every session.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness experience I've had. From the first session to a few months later, I've managed to reduce my body fat from near 30% down to 10%, reverse my hypertension, drop over 17kg. Health, playing sport and fitting into clothes has never been better and this will go down as my best investment into myself. Great gym environment and an amazing trainer has made this a great period.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about my experience as a client at Ultimate Performance. The City location introduced me to their amazing program that helps individuals like myself to get the proper information and training needed to help achieve fitness goals. It was the first time in my life that I felt like I had the knowledge, tools, resources, and support to sustain my results for the long-term. Shout out to everyone at UP for a job well done!

Fantastic experience: I'm in my second month with UP now and it has been a revelation. Fantastic trainers, really supportive atmosphere and driven by data and science. Really pleased with the results so far and looking forward to seeing what we can continue to achieve over the coming months. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to take their fitness journey more seriously.

Fantastic experience: I had been training and doing gym work at least 3 days a week for 3-4 years and while feeling good hadn’t seen any real change in appearance. Having seen this place advertised around various stations for a couple of years, but not signing up due to the cost, I decided to take a leap and give it a go as I was of the view that there was something amiss with my diet which was hampering progress. Plus, I had a wedding 8 weeks away. I knew that based on their advertisement pics, a real change could be made in that short time if sacrifices were made. My comments are this: 1. The cost is absolutely worth it as I know so much more now about my diet and my technique. My food intake was split into macros with specific portions of protein, carbs and fats with an overall much reduced calorie intake. I knew this already but my existing split was all wrong for what I wanted to achieve. ie fat loss and muscle gain (yes it can be done simultaneously) The most obvious and important change was a drastic reduction in carbs, only eating carbs from veg. I learned so much about carbs, from the idea of carb cycling to the fact that the majority of other foods have carbs and what to avoid 2. The gym itself is not crowded, with only people booked in for their hour there. What this means is constant lifting of weights and a real intense workout as all machines and benches are available. I learned from this that I was not breaking a sweat in my own gym sessions -not pushing myself hard enough, which leads to my next point 3. My trainer was very, very knowledgeable about both the diet side of things plus on strength and technique. I would say that the trainers at UP are real experts on their subject. No waffle or BS. He was the perfect motivator, pushing me harder than I would push myself and pushing me at the right time. Everyone reacts differently but luckily for me, this was exactly what I wanted. Results (6 weeks) Body fat: - 5.3% Lean body mass/muscle: + 2.4kg I think the ideal time is 12 weeks but I didn’t have that. I’m certain that because I now have the tools and knowledge to keep the training up myself, I will lose a similar amount of again in another 6 weeks. Cannot recommend enough

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Ultimate Performance City for about six weeks now and could not be happier with the progress I’ve made with them; as someone who hadn’t trained previously, I was anxious about stepping into a gym but my trainer has been incredibly supportive and instructive, pushing me beyond the point at which I would have given up on my own, and I’m impressed at the progress I’ve been able to make in such a short space of time. My greatest surprise is how much fun it is – I had expected training to be something to be endured but I find myself bounding out of bed in the morning to get to the gym as it is such a great and positive atmosphere. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at UP City for around 12 weeks now and my experience has been awesome. The gym is decent and located near my work place which is convenient to me. All members are very friendly and supportive. My trainer is a focussed, knowledgable professional with no-nonsense approach of training. I'm happy with the results achieved so far and would recommend UP City to anyone who wants to try personal training of any form.

Fantastic experience: I joined UP London City in August. My reason for deciding UP was after several existing and new health diagnoses, which put my health on tipping point. I knew something needed to change to avoid my health matters becoming worst. I always wanted to get healthy, fit and be in shape but never found a programme that provides this holistic approach until I found UP. I decided to visit, and although I saw it online I needed to see it personally to ensure it was right for me. Being located at UP London City was by accident as I was intending to visit another branch. However, I do not for one second regret UP London City being my gym for transformation. From the consultation to my first session and during the entire programme I have been well supported and guided. My trainer is EXCELLENT and ensures each session benefits my transformation goals and is a constant source of knowledge, support and motivation. The whole team at UP London City are incredible and each trainer takes the time to make you feel welcomed and part of the UP family. Training at UP London City is fun but focussed, challenging but cheerful. Since I started, I have lost 14 kg, 10% body fat and have dropped 2 dress sizes which I would not have been able to do without UP London City!

Fantastic experience: After hearing about U.P from a friend I did a bit of research on them and ultimately decided to sign up for a three month package. This has gone on to be one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. I renewed after the three months was up, which should tell you all you need to know. My physical health has transformed and I finally have the body image I always wanted. U.P has changed my mental health, my diet, my relationship to food and alcohol and I now live a more healthy fulfilling lifestyle. My trainer is amazing and is the reason I keep coming back. He has done his best to understand who I am and alter the programme to suit me. Couldn't ask for more.

Fantastic experience: Best personal training experience I ever had. I've tried for years different PTs at different gym, and achieve some results but never my goals. Thanks to UP and my dedicated trainers, I got a bespoke training plan, eating plan and the right level of support to build the physic I wanted. It's worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into UP London City gym, I was embraced with a remarkable sense of acceptance and support. The trainers' infectious enthusiasm and genuine care sparked a newfound motivation within me. My trainer possesses an uncanny ability to know exactly when to challenge me while providing unwavering care and attention during our sessions. Their exceptional ability to motivate and support me has been truly invaluable. And YES, they really can deliver. In just the first 3 months, I have lost 15 kilograms, and I am excited to see even more progress in the future. Keep going! However, the magic doesn't stop with my trainer alone. It feels like an entire team stands behind me. I have received an abundance of guidance, spanning from training tips and dietary advice to stress management techniques. The level of support I've experienced is immeasurable. At UP London City gym, you'll find a community of individuals who share a common purpose - to transform themselves, whether it's becoming stronger, fitter, or losing weight. The judgment-free environment fosters a sense of camaraderie, where you feel like you're meeting with friends who share your aspirations. The trainers are there every step of the way, ready to assist you on your journey. I have been showered with support and encouragement from everyone - clients, trainers, and of course, my personal trainer. I used to be one of the laziest people on the planet when it came to exercise. However, these incredible individuals managed to help me find a newfound love for weight exercises. I can't explain how they did it, but they truly worked their magic. If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey, I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting place. London City gym is where dreams become reality.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Ultimate Performance more highly. On a 12-week programme I lost a considerable amount of weight and got back into shape, after a long time out of exercise. The UP trainer I was assigned was incredible. They helped improve my form and push me in every session to get the best out of my training, and provided helpful advice on nutrition, supplements and lifestyle. I've enjoyed my time at UP so much that I will be signing up for their online training programme shortly. Huge thank you to the whole UP team for all that you do!

Fantastic experience: I'm 10 weeks into my transformation programme and I have been overwhelmed by the results. It's hard work for sure, but my trainer has been there throughout to keep me on the straight and narrow and always giving me strong encouragement and confidence. Everyone at the gym is super friendly and the equipment is great. I am back to pushing the weights I did over 10 years ago, but now with proper form and the development I am getting I've never seen before. I feel better, sleep better and look better. It really works!

Fantastic experience: Second to none! If you want to get serious at transforming your body, learned about weight training in the long run and get true results then you need to connect with the UP Fitness team. I joined the team at London City and within 2 months I lost close to 10kg. From day 1, I got introduced to the overall plan in a clear and professional way by Andy. I was then trained by Klaudia. Her knowledge in training and nutrition has played a critical part in me getting positive results. The entire team makes you feel at ease and keeps you motivated in each session. Klaudia has progressively pushed me to failure which motivates me to do better in the next session. The UP trainer takes the time to explain the importance and sustainability of good form. Provided that you stick to the plan, the results in your physique and mindset will come positively fast. On a personal level, I look forward to hitting my targets in the near future.

Fantastic experience: Training at UP City, where it all began, has been a transformative experience on many levels. UP has helped me to excel in my training and weightloss journey, and I have gone way beyond the wildest expectations I had when I first signed up. Initially, the hardest part was conforming to the strict diet. There is so much information about dieting online, it was easy to have doubts about the macros and diet UP set for me. However, it works, just stick with it and you will see results. My trainer has been supportive and available around the clock, while holding me accountable and helping me to keep my eye on the prize. UP has helped me to unlearn bad diet and training practices, and equipped me with the tools for a healthier future. What more could you ask for?

Fantastic experience: Ultimate Performance has been one of the best decisions I made in my life. My trainer has helped me changed more than 10 years of bad habits in a short period of time. She is patient but constantly motivating me to be the best version of myself. Keeping me accountable and pushing me harder. I've never felt stronger and now have a better understanding of my body and nutrition. Couldn't recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: I decided to join UP because I initially wanted to lose weight, but I got much more than what I expected. To say it in simple words, UP changed my life! Of course, I lose some weight & get in better shape (-12kg/-13%BF/-15cm waist) but it’s more than just losing fat. Training with UP improved my mental health. I’m working in finance and it was a struggle for me to handle the stress, I didn’t know how to manage or release it. Working out makes me feel good physically & mentally. It also changed all my nutritional habits! I’m more conscious about what I’m eating. I’m living a whole new different lifestyle now! My personal trainer was there to advice, support & most importantly always push me forward. Sessions after session, she learnt to know me better, what was working or not, and every exercises were all tailored personably for me to improve. I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done! I’m already missing to train with UP & can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. The equipment is great, trainers very knowledgeable and approachable, great atmosphere (a lot of effort goes into creating a collaborative wider team of trainers who are happy to cover each other’s holidays). App is very helpful with macros and keeping track of progress. Sessions pitched perfectly in my experience so you are always having fun and progressing towards goals. Also very good at managing and working around injuries - not just physically, but helping to keep positive. Klaudia deserves a very special mention - couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful journey at UP, St Paul’s. The training regiment is easy to follow for someone with no prior experience and my trainer has been patient with me and that has resulted in great results. I highly recommend it especially if you have not trained before.

Fantastic experience: It’s been a great experience so far with UP. Not only is my trainer fully committed to my success, I’ve experienced a really positive impact on my mindset and confidence as a result of moving through physical and mental limitations. The team are always warm and welcoming, I’ve felt stronger, super safe and taken care of with each session. I’d highly recommend investing in the journey!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined UP and already I can tell it has been the best decision I've made. My general lack of experience in the gym in the past, held me back from committing to one training programme or another - but the holistic approach by UP, with a dual focus on resistance training alongside nutrition had all the elements I needed to make a major lifestyle change that I'm glad to have made. The atmosphere in the gym is friendly and supportive, and any fears I had previously have now completely disappeared. My trainer is knowledgeable and really effective at coaching me, to ensure I have the understanding I need to continue progressing in the future after the programme. The great quality instruction, combined with round the clock support through the AP app, have also been invaluable. Since joining UP, I've noticed my motivation and energy levels have never been higher - I even look forward to going at 0730 in the morning (which was my main worry at the beginning)! I'm seeing the hard work pay off and look forward to continuing my transformation. I highly recommend UP for anyone looking for a personalised and effective approach to their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Signing up with UP has been the best thing I’ve done for my health and well being in decades. I had developed some dreadful dietary habits and had gradually reduced my physical activity until it was non-existent. After a bout of ill health I knew I needed to make changes, UP has got me back to the gym 3 times a week and has refocused my diet. The trainers at UP are excellent, superb knowledge and experience as well as being encouraging and supportive.

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever! I strongly recommend this place if you want to make over your life! I tried many many different gym and PT a lot not only U.K also in Korea too. But, this is my first time I’m 100% satisfied with program and result. There is no doubt at all. Follow the Centre’s program and you’ll be able to achieve 100% of what you’re aiming for maybe even more. I was considering few weeks before registration as it is quite pricy, but I have no regret, it is worthy to invest myself. I am in middle of journey, and only 6 weeks now, but I already reached my goal and now try to move on another level with my (best) trainer. The program already changed a lot of things in my life, now I have more and more energy, not tired at all, no need to have a nap, and easy to wake up :) Happy to meet UP centre ❤️

Fantastic experience: Optimising every minute on the gym floor, my UP experience has been world class. I’ve been training at Paul St for over 12 weeks and seen significant changes in terms strength, physique and overall energy levels. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried several PT and fitness courses previously and never seen results. I’ve been with UP London City for only six weeks and I’ve already seen the most dramatic changes to my body in YEARS. The level of care from my incredible trainer is second to non. She is absolutely EPIC. So supportive, friendly and just gets me and my goals. I couldn’t have been matched to a better trainer. YES it’s expensive. YES you have to put the effort BUT BOY is it worth it. The London City branch is the OG of UP and whilst not the biggest of gyms, it’s intimate, never overcrowded and very well equipped. Furthermore, I’ve always felt gyms intimidating previously but this one is so welcoming and friendly. Personally, I couldn’t recommend UP or my trainer, any more.

Fantastic experience: My journey with UP started at the beginning of 2023. My goal was to make some pretty significant lifestyle choices and positive changes from both a physical and mental perspective. At first it was a little daunting but i have to say that i have enjoyed every moment of the program and the 12 weeks has flown by. My trainer has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She has been incredibly supportive, patient and has made it so much fun. I have achieved everything i set out to do and that is very much down to my trainer and her unwavering support from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend UP to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with UP City for about half a year now. Their price looks daunting at the beginning but it’s really worth the investment. I have had PTs before on and off but never saw any real progress. However, with UP (and of course, hard work) I managed to get much leaner, build more muscle, and most importantly, feel healthier and more confident overall. I also took this opportunity to understand a lot deeper about diet and fitness. I felt UP increasingly trustworthy as everything I read on the side is consistent with what I am told and instructed day in and day out. I’ll definitely recommend anyone who is hesitant to try it out yourself.

Fantastic experience: I'm thrilled to share my experience with Ultimate Performance's personal training. The expert trainers and motivating atmosphere make it the real deal. From the moment I started, my trainer provided attention to detail, correcting my form and offering helpful tips. They pushed me to work hard, but were always there to offer support and encouragement. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to make significant progress towards my fitness goals. If you're serious about getting in shape and reaching your goals, I highly recommend Ultimate Performance's personal training. It's been an amazing experience and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with them.

Fantastic experience: There is no doubt about it, UP has changed my life. I started in October and within 3 weeks I already knew just what a great decision it was to sign up. I’m now in my second package so to get even stronger and reach even more goals - it’s addictive. The clarity and confidence I have got in all areas of life as well as feeling and looking better than ever before, is insane. I love the focus and accountability and the knowledge of my trainer is incredible. This is an investment you won’t regret.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend the UP experience to anyone needing to make a drastic change in their physical and emotional health and who wants round the clock holistic support to achieve their goals. The approach to transformation is very comprehensive - exercise, nutrition and supplements are all covered. The resistance training is excellent. The trainers know their stuff and keep you motivated. There is a high degree of self discipline required to achieve the results but they do an excellent job keeping you invested in the end goal. I definitely recommend giving it a go and seeing if you can stick with it. The results are definitely there if you’re willing and able to follow the program. Probably the best training environment I’ve seen.

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 but UP is by far the best! It’s 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 of achievement, it's clear that the hard workouts UP trainers design help each client to break through their perceived barriers in every session. Couldn’t recommend the service more - you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at UP City for several months now, and with the help and guidance of my trainer, I'm in the best shape of my life. I’ve lost over 15kg and am back to a weight I haven’t seen since my early 20’s! Her expert nutrition advice combined with the training programme means I’ve seen progress in every session. I’d never really been a gym goer before, but with the results I’ve seen and the improvement in my general well-being, I’m now more active than ever. UP has been the best investment I’ve ever made in myself!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ultimate Performance. I've been doing different sports in my life, and after a while where I wasn't getting the way I wanted to be, I decided to go for my first consultation at UP. From the moment I walked into their facilities, I liked the professionalism and personal attention. It's not a normal gym, it's a gym that pushes you from minute 1 to achieve your goals and beyond. All the staff, but particularly my trainer, have helped me to lose 20kg in 12 weeks of training. The knowledge I have acquired in UP about nutrition and lifestyle has been fundamental.

Fantastic experience: I love training at Ultimate Performance London City. The training is focused, and I have seen progress in my strength and technique. It is fantastic to get adjustments (if you need them) on each rep and discuss your health and fitness holistically. I really value the time my trainer takes to talk about the impact my mindset has on training, and his empathy to what is going on in my whole life - not just the 60 mins in the gym. I recommend UP City -it's the best training I've had.

Fantastic experience: I signed up to UP back in March and finished my transformation back in June. The results were incredible, however I waited until now to post this review as I wanted to see what this process gave me not just in short term results but in terms of longer term change of behaviours. I’m delighted to say that the results on both were incredible. In the short term I lost over 10kg and over 10% body fat - my energy levels were massively increased, I slept better and I felt more confident. But above and beyond that, it made me fall in love with the gym, health and sporting performance again. Since then I have been motivated to keep to a routine - understanding how to eat in order that I can maintain the physique I want while still enjoying my life. I have also kept up with my weightlifting schedule, tracking weights, rest time and progress. All of the above is primarily down to my trainer and how fantastic they are. The gym at UP itself is brilliantly kitted out and the app is a great way of tracking progress effectively. However all of that would be pointless without the incredible drive and knowledge of my trainer. The diet plan, the training schedule and the motivation will get you the results in the short term, but the unbelievable expertise on all things training, diet and body mechanics will what gets you to fall in love with the process and keep your motivation even if not training in the gym together. For those looking to make a true difference to themselves I can’t recommend this gym enough. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Fitter, stronger, healthier and enjoying every single session. Joining UP is definitely the best thing I’ve done in helping me towards my fitness goals. My experience has far exceeded the already high expectations I had from the UP brand and without doubt is the best PT experience there is. The energy in the gym, the equipment, the App for tracking workouts, nutrition, sleep and the regular progress check-ins, all make the process enjoyable and easy to follow. The atmosphere at City is great due to such an awesome team, always welcoming. In particular my trainer Klaudia is exceptional! Fun to train with, always pushing for my best, teaching me something new every session and continually goes above and beyond outside the gym with advice on everything from nutrition, sleep, injury prevention and mobility exercises. A true credit to the UP brand. Can’t recommend it enough!!! JP

Fantastic experience: Started training with UP City in June and have managed to loose an huge amount of weight and built a lot of muscle. I think this is the healthiest I have ever been or felt. My PT Connor is great at motivating me and getting the best out of me on the gym floor. The results have lead to a massive increase in my confidence. I’d highly recommend the process to anyone who is thinking about giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: Went to UP not only to "reboot" my fitness and overall health, but to learn how to train the right way as I was a complete novice. My work with my trainer was fantastic as I not only lost weight/got stronger (I'm now lighter and stronger than I was in my Uni days 25 years ago), it set me on a path to maintaining and improving. The guidance from my trainer around training, diet and recovery changed everything for me! It's a commitment but one worth every cent and second! The facilities are top notch and, for someone who's always been intimidated by gyms, I couldn't have been more comfortable and focused.

Fantastic experience: “Results not promises” isn’t just a snappy branding banner, it’s at the heart of everything Ultimate Performance offer. From the day I met the gym manager to when I was paired with my trainer I knew that UP was going to be different. I will admit I was skeptical that I could achieve the results shown in their many before and after photographs of clients who had completed the 12 week transformation programme. However, not only did UP give me the lean physique I was seeking, I also developed a healthy relationship with food and fitness, I understand my body better and it must be at least 10 years since I last felt this physically and mentally strong. All within the space of 3 months. My trainer understands me and my goals which has enabled us to push past personal barriers to achieve more than I had ever set out to achieve. Despite the many clients they look after, the gym floor rarely feels overcrowded and everyone shows respect while sharing equipment. Each day I train I see long-term as well as newbie lifters (of which I was one) but no matter where along your journey you are, all the trainers are friendly and show an interest in your goals and how you’re doing. There’s no denying UP is a five star service and if you’re looking for an impressive transformation that lasts, I highly recommend you join the family.

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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
