Ultimate Performance Personal Trainers Cheshire

Fantastic experience: Training with Matt at Ultimate Performance has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. When I started, I was in that “skinny fat” stage. Not feeling confident, unsure how to train properly, and stuck in a rut. Matt helped me completely transform my physique within 8 weeks, getting leaner while building strength and muscle. What really impressed me was how he adapted everything to my situation. I’m currently dealing with a torn ACL and meniscus, seeing a physio and awaiting surgery, but Matt still found ways to keep me training effectively and safely. He made sure every session worked around my injury without compromising progress. He also kept me motivated, helped me stick to my nutrition plan, and made the whole process genuinely enjoyable. I can't recommend Matt enough if you're serious about making a life style change.

Fantastic experience: Training with Laura has been a game-changer. She's knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cares about your progress. She strikes the perfect balance between pushing you and supporting you, and her attention to detail (especially with form and nutrition) makes a huge difference. I’ve seen real results, both physically and mentally, and always feel motivated after our sessions. If you're looking for a coach who’s not just effective but also easy to work with, Laura’s the one.

Fantastic experience: Trained at UP for a year now and it’s changed lots of my habits for the better. I’ve been trained by the lovely Laura who is excellent - very knowledgeable and knows when to push when to nurture

Fantastic experience: Training with UP Fitness has been a game-changer for me. Will provided a personalised, realistic plan that helped me make steady progress both physically and mentally. I’ve lost weight, improved my health, and feel much more confident and capable day to day - especially when it comes to keeping up with my kids. The support and accountability made a real difference. If you're considering it, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: After 21 weeks of training with Will at Ultimate Performance Cheshire, I’ve never felt better — physically or mentally. He’s completely dedicated to helping me become the best version of myself. Will keeps me focused, on track, and always challenges me in the right way. He’s incredibly knowledgeable in form and technique, making sure every movement is safe and effective. He’s easy to talk to about how you feel about your body with no judgement and really helps build your confidence. What stands out most is that he’s fully focused on me during every session — never distracted by other PTs or clients and wants the best results for me. It’s truly one-to-one training at its best. I always leave feeling energised, empowered and motivated. Couldn’t ask for a better PT.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with my personal trainer Will at Ultimate Performance Cheshire for several months now, and I honestly can’t thank him enough. His support and encouragement have been second to none – he’s helped me lose over 10kg so far, and the impact that’s had on my confidence and overall wellbeing has been huge. We’ve focused on a structured strength training plan combined with personalised nutrition advice, and the results have been incredible. He really listens, adapts the plan as needed, and keeps me motivated every step of the way. The gym itself is such a friendly and welcoming place. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and supported, regardless of your fitness level. You never feel judged – just encouraged. I’d recommend Will and the Ultimate Performance to absolutely anyone looking to improve their health, strength, and confidence. They genuinely can’t do enough for you. ⸻ Would you like a shorter version for social media or Google reviews too?

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about my personal trainer, Wil! His expertise, enthusiasm, and personalized approach have completely transformed my fitness journey. From day one, Wil took the time to understand my goals, assess my fitness level, and create a tailored plan that was both challenging and achievable. With being a complete novice to using any gym equipment and lacking huge confidence in going to a gym, Wil really set about easing any worries or anxiety I had. What sets Wil apart is his ability to keep me motivated, even on days when I wasn’t feeling my best. His encouragement and positive energy are infectious, making every session something I look forward to. Wil is also incredibly knowledgeable about form, nutrition, and recovery, ensuring I’m not just working hard but working smart to avoid injury and maximize results. I’ve seen amazing progress in my strength, endurance, and confidence since working with Wil, and I’m thrilled with the results. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, I highly recommend Wil for his professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for his clients’ success. Thank you, Wil, for helping me become the best version of myself!

Fantastic experience: Incredible service - well supported by my PT Will throughout the process. Cant recommend enough. My only regret is I didn’t discover Ultimate Performance sooner!

Fantastic experience: Training at Ultimate Performance Cheshire has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made for my physical and mental wellbeing — and a huge part of that is thanks to my personal trainer, Bardia. From day one, Bardia’s professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail stood out. He took the time to understand my goals, challenges, and lifestyle, then built a structured, realistic plan that kept me focused and motivated. His ability to push you without overstepping, while still holding you accountable, is exactly what you want in a PT. The gym itself is state-of-the-art, the nutrition and progress tracking are thorough, and the results are absolutely real — but it’s the one-to-one coaching from someone like Bardia that makes the difference. I’ve not only improved physically, but mentally too — with healthier habits, more structure, and a greater sense of confidence. If you’re serious about transforming your health, I highly recommend Ultimate Performance Cheshire — and if you get the chance to work with Bardia, take it.

Fantastic experience: I am about to complete my first 12 week session with UP. I cannot recommend them enough. I was extremely nervous when I started having never set foot in a gym before, however, everyone made me feel very welcome, especially my trainer Laura, who has been extremely understanding of my personal needs. She has been very supportive and encouraging every step of the way. The whole experience has given me a new lease of life, both mentally and physically. I am really looking forward to carrying on my journey with Laura.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Laura Blease at UP Cheshire. Knowledgeable and personable. She has transformed this “gym avoider” into someone who is enjoying it very much. I’m 52yrs old and this has come as a pleasant surprise. I’m currently 1 stone down with 3 stone still to lose but I’m thrilled to see and feel the benefits already. I can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Laura!

Fantastic experience: I genuinely thought when I walked through the door I would be overwhelmed and intimidated by it all but it was the complete opposite! From the start the team were welcoming and supportive. My PT Callum was amazing, helped me find my motivation, pushed me to achieve the goals I'd set and helped me find consistency in making sustainable changes! He gave me the tools to change my habits, form new ones, take better care of myself and even take some control back with my type 1 diabetes! Honestly can't thank him enough and I would highly recommend jumping into this if you even start to consider it ... 100% worth it!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience having the opportunity for 6 months of personal training with ultimate performance Cheshire with Callum. As a busy working mum I found it hard to find time to exercise or train and when I did I had no idea how to. My diet was terrible with snacking on quick carbohydrate heavy foods. Although not overweight , I was tired , fed up and had a low muscle mass. Callum gave me the encouragement and confidence to train harder than I ever would have alone and to swop my snacks with more protein . The result is I am much happier and more energetic and now will participate in exercise regularly independently. Thanks for all the support Callum .

Fantastic experience: Joining ultimate performance was the best decision of my life. Bardia has been the most understanding, patient and educating trainer I could’ve wished for. He has put so much effort, time and dedication into helping me with my transformation, I couldn’t have made these changes to my life without his help and support. I highly recommend ultimate performance and especially Bardia, to anyone considering personal training.

Fantastic experience: My fantastic personal trainer James Cowsill helped me achieve my goals of getting healthier, stronger and leaner, whilst adapting my programme to avoid any injury from a pre-existing shoulder issue. I am delighted with my results. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Joining Ultimate Performance has completely transformed my life. This journey has been about so much more than just losing weight—I’ve gained confidence, strength, and a renewed sense of self. Paul Goodey has been an incredible source of support and consistency throughout, tailoring a program that pushed me while always understanding my needs. His encouragement and belief in me, even on tough days, made all the difference. Thanks to Paul, I feel healthier, happier, and more empowered than ever. I’m so grateful for this life-changing experience!

Fantastic experience: Really can’t rate it highly enough! Paul has been a fantastic trainer, pushing the goals but always supportive. The communication and accountability is next level and shows with the results. Paul helped me drop 10kg and build muscle / feel more energised in the process. Had a recent pause in training due to a broken shoulder (not in the gym!!) but during this time have still had loads of support and cannot wait to get stuck into the training again very soon!

Fantastic experience: Love training here & service they provide

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best investment I’ve made in myself. Paul Goodey is my PT at UP and has devised a well tailored plan based on my personal goals. Consistently pushing me, keeping me accountable whilst being friendly and personable. This has resulted in a loss of 11.5kg, 16% body fat in 4 months…. with a 2 week holiday squeezed in that time…. I have seen a significant difference in my body shape and see results week after week. Very much looking forward to hitting my goals in April 2025 to hit 68kg (down from 92kg) and 10% body fat (down from 37%). Thanks Paul!

Fantastic experience: I joined UP in May this year and did a programme through to Oct/Nov. Callum was brilliant all the way through, making sure I kept on track and reached my goals, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see results. Thanks Callum!

Fantastic experience: Incredible 12 week program, so happy with my results and couldn’t have asked for a better PT than Bardia!

Fantastic experience: After 6 months of training here it has been totally life changing! Results are impressive, and my trainer Will is the perfect combination of being expertly knowledgeable and endlessly patient. I have avoided injury, lost body fat, built muscle but more importantly, changed my mindset and enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you .

Fantastic experience: I joined UP 8 weeks postpartum, Laura has been incredible help and a thorough trainer. She provides consistent accountability, understanding and keeps me on track pushing me in the right direction to achieve my goals, which can be so easily distracted with a newborn. I've managed to drop 2/3 of my baby weight so far and I've signed up for a further 3 months. Not only has the weight dropped, which was my initial goal. The mental improvement and positivity is by far the best gain from training, and allows me to tackle life, business and looking after a newborn every day to the fullest. The best decision I've made. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience at UP cheshire. Laura is great at checking in and keeping you on track with your goals. Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend UP Cheshire more highly. My experience has been nothing short of life changing. Whilst I commenced the journey with some trepidation and perhaps a lack of confidence in a collective ability to change where I was at that stage, everything changed within a fee weeks. Special mention to my PT Paul Goodey who has been absolutely tremendous to work with on this journey. Paul has been knowledgable, adaptable and supportive every step of the way. I have learned a lot about myself, my habits, nutrition and discipline along the way and I am confident that I will never go back. Having lost 22kg quickly I have developed new habits and confidence that I did not possess or have any knowledge around before engaging with UP and Paul. Yes, it is hard work, takes sacrifice and commitment but the payback far outweighs the cost. If you arent happy with where you are physically and mentally then take up the challenge, you wont regret it for a second !

Fantastic experience: Been with UP since January, have hit my weightloss goals and have been very happy with the service by Paul Goodey. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: UP Cheshire are the very best at what they do - great trainers, friendly environment, fantastic facility and equipment, decent app to keep accountability and track progress, etc. Special mention to Paul Goodey for all his support, advice, and hard work keeping me honest and on track. If you are prepared to put in the effort, they will get you the results you want. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend UP at Alderley Cheshire. My trainer Paul has helped me turn things I thought unachievable into actual goals. The biggest change has been the belief that Paul has given me that I can do more than I ever thought possible. I no longer feel held back and cannot recommend the UP journey highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I walked through the door 14 weeks ago after realising that I needed to change. Years of stress at work, without even realising it. This manifested into weight gain and despite knowing it all, and still active in the gym, I needed help. What sets this apart is the knowledge and understanding in all aspects of achieving a goal. Diet, stress management, physical training, mobility....the list goes on. Why is Cheshire UP so good? The people. UP are a serious company built on a brand of exceptional results, Cheshire make that into a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is there to support each other, and the friendly banter between clients as well as trainers, helps so much when you do the hard stuff. Just open that door and you will be welcomed. 14 weeks ago I knew everything about fitness and how to train hard, it turns out I knew nothing. This Cheshire team are absolute experts in everything that is required to get you where you need to be, their CV's are exceptional. You get assigned a trainer that UP know will work for you and your goals. Have to give a shout out to mine Paul G, incredible lifelong experience of training at all levels of elite sports and military. Perfect pairing, and I look in the mirror each day and know I could not have done that on my own. Who Dares.......

Fantastic experience: Does what it says on the tin. Quite simply if you want results, this is the place. I would spend the money 3 times over and probably have been more dedicated if I could have told myself this is how I would look and feel now. Everything is tailored to you and YOUR goals not the brands. This can change, I started out on a 3 month body transformation and ended up staying 60 weeks… and counting. I have a much better understanding about my nutrition, training correctly..etc. Above all it’s the accountability and the fact you have someone who understands all of this. Paul Goodey has been amazing, knows when I’ve had enough and when to get the best out of me. It’s hard, it hurts and you need lots of discipline to correct the years of crappy advice and fad diets, workouts. UP make that whole process easier and accessible. Best Birthday present I ever gave myself - life changing. Do it for you and no one else. Thank you Ultimate Performance

Fantastic experience: If you are serious about improving your fitness and getting the results you want, then you are guaranteed to do so at UP Cheshire. I am on week 12 of a transformation with my awesome trainer Adam, I am beyond happy with the changes and progress I have made in just 3 months and I couldn't recommend Adam enough, he is knowledgable, professional and super committed and driven to his client's achieving their goals. Away from sessions he is equally as supportive, always on hand to check in and guide you through any potential bumps in your fitness journal, social events, meals out etc. The gym is friendly and welcoming and you will not regret making the decision to invest in your health with this team!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Robert Jardine, Online, but know that he is based within the site at Liverpool. He has been nothing short of amazing. Without even knowing the support that he has offered me has been more than I expected. As a Personal Trainer myself, working with a UP Training was a step that I wanted to make to improve both my body and also my mind. Robert has done more than what I expected. His response times within within the UP Transform App is always timely and his communication is always directed at improving me. Im now 14 weeks in to my 24 weeks of coaching and I cannot wait for the next 10,

Fantastic experience: I started my health journey at UP Cheshire with Laura as my trainer, I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with working with Laura! During my sessions with Laura she has pushed me and given my confidence to do things I thought I wasn’t capable of doing and helped me understand my fitness goals better. She went above and beyond to tailor my sessions and especially supplements according to my medical needs as someone who suffers from PCOS. During our sessions she wasn’t just my trainer but an amazing friend to me, unfortunately I have had to move to California so I wasn’t able to complete my 12 week sessions, but on my UK visits I can’t wait to go back and get some session in with Laura! Even with the move occurring she has help to equip me with tools to help my health journey! I can’t wait to see you soon Laura x

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier with the level of service I've received from my PT Howard at UP Cheshire. He has pushed me and kept me accountable for the last 5 months but never made it a chore. First class facility with extremely knowledgable trainers. Results speak for themselves.

Fantastic experience: First class service at UP Cheshire. Motivating and supportive instruction from Howard, very good app to keep me focused and a bit of banter thrown in for good measure

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Bardia for 6 months now in the run up to my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He truly understands how to tailor a workout program that suits my fitness goals and needs. Bardia is not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly motivating, pushing me to achieve more than I thought possible. Each session is challenging yet enjoyable, and I've seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. What I appreciate most is his attention to proper form and technique, ensuring that I get the most out of every workout while minimising the risk of injury. If you're looking for a personal trainer who genuinely cares about your progress and will help you reach your fitness goals, I highly recommend Bardia. Thank you for transforming my fitness journey and sending me into my wedding feeling at my best!

Fantastic experience: Very positive experience so far at UP with trainer Will. Great results and continuous support along the way, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience so far at UP. Great staff and my personal trainer Max. He is pushing me real well and that translates into my progress. Body fat from 26.2% down to 15.3% in just 15 weeks and dropping. Can’t wait to see my target and looks once all completed. Will keep this updated with my progress.

Fantastic experience: Obvious 5 stars, I can’t recommend Ultimate Performance enough. From day 1 I have felt welcomed and supported. Went from not enjoying exercise to absolutely loving the gym, making great progress, and my overall happiness and confidence has come on loads. My personal trainer Laura has been exceptional. She invests an incredible amount of time and energy into my journey, and her expertise shines through in the progress I am making.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend my personal trainer Laura highly enough. Her expertise, dedication, and personalised approach have transformed my fitness journey. Laura’s workouts are challenging yet rewarding, ensuring perfect form to prevent injury and maximise results. Her motivational energy makes every session enjoyable, and her tailored fitness plans suit individual goals and needs. Laura also offers valuable advice on nutrition and overall lifestyle changes, creating a holistic approach to health and fitness. Thanks to Laura, I’ve seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. If you want a professional, knowledgeable trainer genuinely invested in your success, Laura is the perfect choice.

Fantastic experience: Sharing 3 weekly sessions with my husband over 12 weeks. Coached and supported by Will Kirkman PT. We are both very happy with our results. Will encouraged us and helped us answering our many questions. We followed a plan through with our nutrition, exercise and weights sessions to achieve great results. I would encourage anyone thinking of signing up to just do it! Invest in your health and longevity. Thank you Will!

Fantastic experience: I've just finished my 12 weeks' worth of sessions at UP Cheshire and wow it's been amazing! My trainer Callum was fantastic - knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and he kept every session fun. He was always there to answer questions, guide nutrition (food & supplements) and has even sent me away with a game plan for how to keep my fitness improving! I feel so much stronger, healthier, better balanced and have loads more energy. At the start, I really debated signing up but I'm so glad that I did and would recommend Callum & UP to anyone - thank you so much!!

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend UP at Alderley Edge they have supported and encouraged me to achieve all the goals that I set out. The results i have achieved in how I look and feel have been fantastic. Thanks to Paul for all your help.

Fantastic experience: Adam has been training me since last year, we have been on a fitness journey that has both challenged myself mentally and physically. The end goal was a photoshoot in April to prove to myself I can get into great shape even in my 50’s. With his expertise and guidance and motivation in abundance he pushed me to achieve this. He’s a knowledgeable, disciplined trainer who knows exactly how to coach and push me through each session. Thank you Adam; I look forward to continuing my health journey with yourself and set new challenges.

Fantastic experience: Forget about whatever you’ve tried so far, and get ready to succeed spectacularly. I’m in week 8 with Callum and when I met a mate for coffee yesterday he couldn’t stop staring at my arms. I’ve already got a shape to my body that I’ve never had before (I turned 50 this year) and I’m 100% confident that these new nutrition habits are for life. Extraordinary. As they say, just do it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at UP for 5 weeks of a 12 week challenge and I already feel a big change in my body and mindset. I feel fitter, stronger and much more peaceful and I’m excited about the progress to come. My trainer Laura is a true professional, tailoring each session while I recover from an injury and encouraging me throughout. She is intuitive, a great listener and has provided excellent guidance on nutrition which has helped me simplify my meal prep and enjoy the process. I am developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for strength training, of what my body is capable of achieving and realise that consistency is key to reaching my goals. I feel I struck lucky getting Laura as she provides the perfect balance of hard work, humour and genuine compassion which gets me through each session and looking forward to the next. I’d highly recommend training at UP, you will be well looked after. Go for it!

Fantastic experience: Almost 8 weeks into training at UP and couldn’t speak more highly of my trainer Will who has been exceptional. Dedicated to progression at every session, working around injuries and offering daily support Will is a credit to UP. Would highly recommend him and the team at UP to committed individuals who want to make a change.

Fantastic experience: I have been with UP for 7 weeks and I am 7kg down. My trainer Laura (Cheshire UP) is absolutely amazing, she helps with not only weight loss and building strength, but mindset too. I am only at the start of my journey but with Laura’s help I truly believe I can finally start to love my body.

Fantastic experience: Great place and great motivation

Fantastic experience: Love coming to Up for training, Dan is a great trainer I’ve got to all my goals set and really happy with my results.

Fantastic experience: Just finished 4 months at UP from Jan - May 2024. Would highly recommend UP and Callum as a trainer - had a great time, was challenged and the results were spot on. 5

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough for Paul Goodey at UP Fitness Cheshire for anyone embarking on a fitness journey. 38 weeks ago, I was filled with nerves and uncertainty as I began my 12-week transformation with Paul and UP Fitness. Today, I'm not just 33kg lighter—I'm also fitter, stronger, and happier than ever before, all thanks to Paul's incredible guidance and expertise. What truly sets Paul apart is his unwavering dedication to his clients' success and his relentless commitment to keeping me on track. Each training session and meal plan is meticulously tailored to push my boundaries and ensure I exceed every goal. Through his challenges and goal-setting, I've not only transformed physically but also gained confidence and knowledge that I can carry forward in my fitness journey. Paul's professionalism is unparalleled, and his depth of knowledge fine-tunes our sessions, motivating me to push further than I imagined. His meticulousness extends beyond the training session; he provides valuable insights on progress, coupled with practical advice seamlessly integrated into my new lifestyle. I genuinely look forward to every training session to see what can be accomplished. If you're ready to unlock your potential and achieve lasting results, I can't recommend Paul Goodey enough. As for my slots, sorry, but my journey with him is far from over—they're not up for grabs!

Fantastic experience: I'm roughly halfway through my transformation with Bardia and I really wish I did this sooner. I did an 18 session package to start with as knowing myself, I wasn't sure I would stick to what was needed at home. I couldn't have been more wrong. The gym has everything you need and more. All the trainers are friendly and will help if necessary. I am the lightest I have ever been in my adult life with more weight to lose. My trainer Bardia is very knowledgeable in the gym and with nutrition. He pushes me to do that 1 extra rep (which turns into 3) and motivates me make the right choices at home. The only problem is none of my clothes fit.

Fantastic experience: I have now been training with Callum at UP Cheshire for 10 months and it was the best decision! I achieved my goal within 12 weeks and then couldn’t possibly stop. I’d had PT sessions in the past elsewhere but training with Callum at UP was completely different - the attention to detail and focus on technique is something else. He pushes me to my limits in the best possible way and has taught me so much about training I had never realised before. This isn’t just a 12 week programme it’s a lifestyle change! Thank you ☺️

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Bardia for around 16 weeks now. The progress has been unreal. I have dropped 12kg, become much leaner, gained muscle and am the fittest, healthiest and most positive version of myself that I have ever been. Bardia is hands down the best PT I have ever worked with. Pushing that last few reps when I don’t believe I can do it, supporting constantly with nutrition, encouraging me to achieve my goals and making me believe in myself. More than a physical transformation, it’s a mental one too. I have learned so much from training with Bardia about form, focus and the up and down path to progress! I’ve managed to do it all with a pretty packed social life too! Wholeheartedly recommend U.P. It’s life changing.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at UP Cheshire now for 18 weeks with Adam and I cannot express enough what a fantastic experience I’ve had, the results are beyond all expectations if you commit to the programme and your PT. I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge along with an amazing physique.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best if you want to see and feel a real difference in your body and fitness. Over 10 weeks I have lost over 12 kg and have got muscles like I have never had before- and I am 50. Can’t recommend my trainer Adam Newton enough !

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Cheshire UP for the past three months and one thing I can say with a bit of regret is that I didn't do this sooner! A bit about my experience below.. The past two years have been so tricky for me, as post baby I felt like I was moving in circles... despite going to the gym regularly, trying different classes, diets, you name it... I didn't quite feel in my skin to an extent that I was constantly out of energy which was impacting both my physical and mental health.. 12 weeks in, not only I feel amazing, ready to take on the day with my toddler + work/life balance, but also I'm so pleased with how my physique has changed (which to be honest I didn't think is achievable at such a short space of time! ) To my trainer, Bardia Nekooie, - You've been great! Thank you so much for your support, coaching and making sure I stay on track. You made this whole experience enjoyable and I am so grateful for your help. Had fun too! Off to a holiday now but looking forward to getting back and next set of goals to smash! Money well spent. Best feeling ever ✨

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at UP since August 2023 working with Callum. He has been very supportive of me and has helped me not only lose weight but gain back confidence. He has pushed me and I’ve achieved things that I would never have been able to on my own. I would definitely recommend UP, and Callum to others who are looking for that support in achieving their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I went into my 12 week transformation with a sense of nervousness and trepidation. After meeting my trainer, Bardia, I was instantly put at ease and I knew this was someone that had my best interests at heart and someone that I could enjoy spending time with. Bardia has given the most amazing advice, support, and encouragement with the perfect amount of pressure to push on and perform. His knowledge of training methods, nutrition, and all related topics are second to none. He is also selfless with his time outside of the gym, making the effort to check in every day and help with the journey. I am now 12 weeks in, smashing my goals and feeling better than ever mentally and physically. The impact on my life, my work, and my relationships have been profound. And I have Bardia to thank for that. I hope we will go onto to remain friends beyond our training because you couldn’t meet a nicer guy. My favourite words to hear are Bardia’s when he says “what shake do you want?” because that means it’s all over!

Fantastic experience: Since joining UP in November, my general fitness has improved so much that I no longer experience back pain, sleep is much better and energy during my working day has increased. I’ve been on a fantastic journey with UP, my trainer (Bardia) has educated me throughout to achieve results in the gym and at home. His support has been valued throughout, checking in every day to ensure my questions are answered and to ensure my nutrition remains accurate. In the gym, Bardia has done exactly what I needed him to do… PUSH! The weights used across all strength training have increased throughout the process, proving the success that his coaching provides. Overall, UP has delivered the experience and change I was looking for, and we aren’t done yet! Looking forward to seeing the final results.

Fantastic experience: Signing up with Ultimate Performance in Cheshire was the best decision I ever made. The skill and expertise of the trainers is elite. I am currently training with Callum and he is amazing. He has given me so much confidence and, helped me push past mental blockers that I have struggled with for so long. The really impactful element is I can see the progress and buzz across all the other clients that are training alongside me.

Fantastic experience: Ultimate Performance Cheshire has been and continues to be the best experience for me, so much so I have continued to train here for the last 18 months. Laura is fantastic! She is incredibly professional, committed and focused on pushing me to reach my potential and personal goals. The level of support Laura provides with all aspects of training, diet, self-improvement and keeping me accountable make the entire experience far more than just PT sessions. Training at UP is the best way for me to have dedicated time every week to improving myself both mentally and physically. It has improved my self-confidence and I’ve never felt so fit and healthy which has also led to rediscovering running and improving race times. It really has had a positive impact. I look forward to continuing my journey and would highly recommend joining UP!

Fantastic experience: Had fantastic results working with Max Fontaine at Ultimate Performance- he pushes me every week a little bit further towards my goal of reducing body fat and getting stronger. I never thought at 61 I could lift weights, but age isn’t a barrier when you’ve got someone cheering you on and Max is going to get me to my goal - I actually look forward to my sessions and I never thought I would say that.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to UP Cheshire for a total of 8 training weeks after sharing a block of sessions with my wife. After almost 10 years of relative inactivity I wanted to press the refresh button, get back into some kind of respectable shape and improve my energy levels. Having completed the process now I am simply amazed at the results I’ve been able to achieve in such a short space of time! I hit all my personal goals and gained so much more out of it than I thought I would. My trainer, Adam, has been brilliant throughout the whole process… providing great dietary advice, expert tuition in the weights room, diligently tracked my progress and generally providing support and answers to my questions when I needed it. I can’t recommend UP enough for anyone who wants to shake themselves out of a rut and achieve new heights. I’ve learned so much through the process and feel well prepared and very motivated to sustain my new normal ;). I thoroughly recommend UP Cheshire… just go for it!!

Fantastic experience: Howard, is an amazing coach! I hated working out but I now really look forward to training just because I don’t feel like it’s a chore anymore! Would highly recommend!!!!

Fantastic experience: Having seen a number of 'trainers' throughout the north west, you have not experienced 'personal' training until you've been to ultimate performance. Adam is the most knowledgable and professional trainer I've ever met! The atmosphere is supportive, encouraging and inclusive. This is next level training!!

Fantastic experience: I am halfway through, 12 weeks and i’ve lost 20kg, whilst gaining muscle. Adam Newton, great guy and very knowledgeable, true meaning of a PT. The app works very well and tracks progress and Adam is on it 24/7 to support and guide my diet. I’m feeling and looking the best I ever have. Thank you Adam and the team at UP!

Fantastic experience: I am currently 9 weeks into my transformation at UP and I am so impressed with the constant attention to detail that I receive from Adam. He pushes me to my limit during each session and gives me endless advice on remaining consistent with my diet and exercise. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam and UP!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at UP for two years now, my trainer has been really supportive and helpful every step of the way. My trainer Howard pushes me in workouts to a level I wouldn’t get to training on my own.

Fantastic experience: I use to visit the Cheshire gym but since moving house, have virtual sessions with Laura. I like how you're encouraged to be accountable but with lots of support. Laura is very knowledgeable and cares about my progress. I can message her at anytime and she always replies. 18.5kg down with still a few kgs to shift but I'm in no rush. I'm confident it will happen as this works. The app is great and easy to use for monitoring nutrition and measurements. I would definitely recommend UP for anyone, especially ladies of a certain age. You can't put a price on health.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Laura at UP Cheshire and she’s made a massive difference not only to my body but also my core beliefs about diet. She’s always welcoming and makes the workout a truly productive worthwhile hour of your time. She knows her stuff and obviously gets results. If you are going to train there I can’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Like many UP clients I'd seen the transformations on social media, and with my honeymoon coming up in 12 weeks I decided to go for it. I'm really pleased I did. I'm currently 6 weeks in and can already see a very noticeable difference - there are ABS(!) and a lot more definition in my physique. We'll now be focusing on building muscle for the second half of the programme. My trainer Laura is fantastic. It's a totally personalised programme - she's taken the time to really get to know me and understand my goals and challenges, which has enabled her to put together a diet and training plan that actually works for ME. I'm a notoriously fussy eater, and Laura has gone out of her way to suggest meals that work for me, but are still on plan. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura or UP. Looking forward to the next 6 weeks and my transformation photos (except the fake tan and chest wax which I hear is obligatory )

Fantastic experience: The gym & in particular the trainers at UP are nothing but spectacular. If you’re looking for results this is the place to be. I’ve regularly been a gym goer & have had PTs in the past but without any real success. UP was a game changer & in particularly my trainer Max. No stone is left unturned. Everything tailored made for your goals & requirements. Coupled with great support & encouragement I’ve been so impressed with the results.Would highly recommend Max & team to anybody wanting to reach their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I’d recommend UP to anyone interested in losing weight and getting in shape. I’ve been going for 7 weeks now and my trainer Max has been so supportive and it’s so helpful to have that accountability. The weights training is on another level in terms of how thorough Max is with checking my form and pushing me to really get the most out of the sessions. I was nervous as to whether this was for me as a breastfeeding mother 4 months post partum, but the nutritional guidance was tailored to meet my situation and Max has constantly taken into consideration that aspect and advised me carefully what is safe and what isn’t. I am so happy with the results so far and can’t wait to see where I am in another few weeks. I also genuinely enjoy the sessions as Max makes it’s fun and it’s a nice atmosphere with the other trainers and members.

Fantastic experience: Amazing ! I had reached a point where I needed to do something significant to get back on track, physically, mentally and emotionally. Paul Longfield is a first class PT. Very professional, knowlegable and he never made me feel uncomfortable, always challenging me to do more. Paul constantly pushed me to the Max and at the end of every session I was busted because he encouraged me to give 100% ! Highly recommended. Just do it . You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve moved into the second phase of my training with Laura. She understands my long term injury and how to work around it. I feel fitter, lots weight and started to build muscle tone. All the e team are friendly and welcoming too.

Fantastic experience: I am half way through my transformation with Callum. He’s been absolutely amazing and pushing me past my limits. He’s very good at making sure I maintain proper posture through the exercises and through a couple of minor injuries that I’ve had. It’s a full circle program and Callum messages me everyday making sure I’m hitting my targets and keeping it up. I won’t lie, it’s been a hard journey physically and mentally. The upside of this I’m much more mentally and physically strong. If anyone is lucky enough to have Callum as their trainer, you’re on your way to your target. Plus he does everything with a smile while upping your weights.

Fantastic experience: I don’t think I would have achieved what I have achieved had it not been for having Max as my PT. He makes you accountable, pushes you and helps you refocus when life gets in the way. He’s also really strict on form which is what you need from 1-2-1 training! Max goes further than general coaching; he understands the person and the drivers which will help them succeed. Everyone at the gym is really welcoming and supportive; if you are looking to change how you feel and look then go for it.

Fantastic experience: I came to UP about 9 weeks ago, aged 58 & with a life time of unsuccessful dieting behind me and a very unhappy body image. Probably like most people who come here. I even got a big energetic dog to help get me moving but even she wasn’t enough to stop the lbs settling comfortably around my middle and to start to drag me down, both physically and mentally. I felt stale, resigned and more than a bit pathetic that I couldn’t sort this out myself however many times I did Slimfast or signed up to the WW app. My husband (who was in the same pickle) saw the UP advert and we decided that like repairing something that’s gone wrong with your car, if you can’t fix it yourself, pay an expert to. So - we came to UP, and although everyone seems to be “on a journey” of some sort these days, boy have I been on a journey!! (Nick too, but this isn’t his review). To say I was terrified during the 1st session would be an understatement & I left thinking 1) how shockingly feeble I’d become, and 2) that I wasn’t starting this a minute too soon. On the food side of things, managing the macros, seemed really logical and straight forwards and I liked the idea of eating clean, so for 9 weeks now I’ve used the UP app religiously & it’s really paid off - I’ve lost a stone (6.3kg if you were born in the 80’s) and have never felt (or looked) better. I love to eat out and I’ve even been able to do this without feeling I’ve fallen off the wagon or broken the charm. I have used gyms before and had PT sessions, but the magic lies in the fact that your UP PT remains fully engaged with you through the process - not just at your session. I can’t stress enough what a difference this makes. UP pick a trainer to work with you who will be invested in your success. You’ll build a relationship with them based on identifying what you want to achieve long term with your goals regularly reviewed & with encouragement to aim for things you never thought were within your scope to achieve …. And there’s a blinking good chance you’ll achieve them. I hadn’t exercised properly for about 5 years but the results come fast so your motivation & sense of surprise (and a achievement ) grow daily. At other gyms I’ve been to there have been a lot of body beautiful types - there are here too (on a good day!) but you’ll also work out with other equally out of condition people just like you (me). You get measured & photographed every 2 weeks, at my last one it looked as if I’d been photoshopped - my head on a thinner , fitter body. I absolutely did not cry. Nope. Definitely not. It was an allergy. So, Nine weeks later I’ve dropped 2 jeans sizes, I’m shopping for new clothes, I can dead lift 55kg & my attitude has changed from “You’re 58 - this is it, just accept it” to “2023 is going to be AMAZING”. It would have been really easy in mid November to put this off until after Christmas, but if I had, I’d still be at the feeble stage, still be carrying around an extra stone and still stale and unmotivated. If you want to make a change sign up, turn up & do what they say. It’s worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: I have had a few PT’s over the years and I can honestly say UP Cheshire, and specifically Dan, have made the biggest difference to my life - they are the best! Over 1.5 stone in my first programme and can’t wait to go again in the new year. What I love (and is different to the norm) is the pre planning and coaching before a holiday, restaurant or any life event. I have a new mindset, achieve progress but can still have fun! I have learnt so so much about health, nutrition and exercise. And their formula just works. So if you are doing what I have done over the years and searching google for a PT, to find the best, you have found them. Huge thanks to Dan and the UP team - you rock.

Fantastic experience: Signed up for 16 sessions to help get on track with fitness and diet . For the first time in years of dieting and training I feel like I had a programme I could follow and stick to which helped me loose a stone and tone up , I feel confident to continue with my goals now too and won’t hesitate to go back for more sessions if I need a hard push , I trained with Josh and found him easy going and professional and liked how much support I had outside the gym too , unlike many before and after social media adverts I know that UP get genuine results and saw it for myself in others training too , totally recommend this place if you need to kick start your health and fitness regime , nice gym , great atmosphere and enjoyed my time there too

Fantastic experience: I have just finished my UP journey and it has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. My trainer Max Fontaine was amazing, he pushed me and believed in me and was a great friend through the process and he has given me a big confidence boost when it comes to the gym and what I'm capable of. I will miss everyone at the gym but I am happy to be leaving with new self confidence.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at UP Cheshire with Max since May ‘22 and despite a little bit (or a lot) of winging initially - because let’s be honest, it’s not easy! - it’s very enjoyable. Because it’s all one to one training in a clean and quite private studio it’s a great hour out of the working day to achieve something. I’ve got to know Max well and you do notice that all the individual trainers make a real effort to build relationships with their clients, and they really do care about helping you get results. I’m 13 and a bit KG down in weight (that’s two stone in old money), feel healthier and fitter now than I can ever remember, and kicked my naughty smoking habit into touch a few months ago. As a father to a 3 year old stopping smoking was high on my priority list - I’m very grateful to Max for all his nagging which ultimately made me persevere with quitting. I’ve extended my course as I’m now looking to lose the last few KG of unwanted fat and continue to build muscle. Definition is within touching distance! I can’t recommend Max and the trainers at UP Cheshire highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I came to Cheshire U.P in the Summer and thanks to the incredible diet and exercise guidance from Paul Longfield, I am over a stone down and developing a much healthier way of living. I had never done weightlifting previously and so I was basically starting from scratch. Paul has worked tirelessly to try to help me develop enough strength in my legs to be able to train properly. Can highly recommend the whole UP approach and ethos. Smashing experience

Fantastic experience: Prior to joining UP I trained regularly but with little focus on my lifestyle outside the gym meaning I didn't achieve the results I was looking for. Adam provided a structured approach to training, with clearly laid out goals and a simple nutrition plan which he monitored closely. The combination of focusing on both training in the gym and nutrition and general lifestyle helped me to achieve great results; keeping me accountable whilst ensuring the sense of progression made it a rewarding and enjoyable experience. I'm more confident with increased energy levels. The training has had a hugely positive impact on my physical and mental health providing dedicated time to focus on myself. If you are looking to change how you look, and more importantly how you feel, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend UP.

Fantastic experience: Olivia has truly made the world of difference to me both physically and mentally. She is a fabulous coach, mentor and friend (albeit gives me a hard time ;-)) and I have no doubt will crack anyones ambitions in the gym should they be ready. I have always struggled with being confident enough to workout and struggled to maintain a healthy diet with a hectic career/lifestyle which meant the weight had slowly crept up over the years. However reaching my 40th and looking better than ever has encouraged me to want to continue working with her to gain even more stretching goals. By far the best money I have ever spent and can only thank the UP A Edge family for all their support along the way. 6months in, 16kg down woohoo

Fantastic experience: Been at UP since early March and really enjoy coming to the gym and training with Josh. He goes up and beyond to help me in the sessions and push me towards my goals. UP has been life changing and I am happy I got linked with Josh during this journey

Fantastic experience: I have just finished 18 weeks of training with U.P. Cheshire and can honestly say it's one of the best things I've ever done. Prior to joining I had convinced myself I had a reasonable knowledge of nutrition and lifting weights, but years of no results suggested this wasn't quite the case. A couple of post-lockdown holidays provided the realisation that I wasn't happy with my physique, and I decided to get in touch with U.P. From day one, the atmosphere in the gym was incredibly welcoming and motivating. My PT Dan was excellent, providing a huge amount of knowledge, support, and advice. Under a detailed nutrition and training programme, I was astonished at how quickly I reduced my bodyfat percentage, and then subsequently gained muscle. Throughout, Dan was constantly monitoring and adjusting, and his support and analytical approach was invaluable - I gained huge confidence knowing I was making progress each week. I have finished the transformation in the best shape of my life, having gained muscle mass while dropping my bodyfat to 8%. It is truly a life changing process - and I couldn't have done it without the support of Dan and the team at U.P - Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Having an expert performance template, with coaching that gives you instant feedback, works through your rate limiters and gives you daily to weekly metrics to map progress is the only reliable way to succeed in making transformations. My PT Callum provides daily nutrition feedback, tips on getting my inflammation down, work outs designed to change your hormone response (balanced all body work outs), supplements and peri-workout shakes/drinks - as such, the money you pay is a actually a relative bargain (in terms of saving time, as much as financial) - if you were to pay for all these domains independently (ie a sports nutritionist, performance coach and PT for example) and take the time to get feedback from them all it would be a time consuming expensive process. Personally I’m about 2/3s of the way through my transformation, and have been complimented daily by strangers on how I’m looking, plus felt much more vitality. I have signed my dad up, will get my brother involved next, probably then my partner, and would recommend to anyone serious about getting in shape and honest enough that few of us are likely to do it with out expert help. Thank you Callum and UP Cheshire

Fantastic experience: “Strength Becomes Her” is the way I wanted to be described after my fitness journey… a stronger, fitter, leaner and more confident ‘me’ not for anyone other than ‘me’. UP Cheshire (Josh) are, and continue, to give me just that… the confidence to work hard and achieve result with the support encouragement and guidance I desperately needed! Always a challenge but equally rewarding in every session… I’m not quite at goal just yet but I’ve achieved so much already. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I reached a number of big milestones this year including turning 40 and selling my business. While this was all very exciting, I found myself ‘partying hard’ and getting into some bad habits which led to unhealthy weight gain, body shaming, and a negative relationship with food and alcohol. I realised my life was in desperate need of a ‘reset’ and having seen the marketing material from UP, I visited the Cheshire gym and signed up on the initial 12-week transformation programme. At the back of my mind, I thought it might be quite gimmicky and overpriced but worth a punt… My first trainer Jon was pretty good, however,  he left after a few weeks but luckily UP have a large team of trainers and I could take my pick from a great bunch. I chose Olivia or better known as the ‘Silent Assassin’. Olivia is dedicated, diligent, professional, and pushed me to levels that I didn’t know were possible, let alone I was capable of – while always smiling! Olivia has also really helped me with my diet, in particular, choosing vegetarian options in an industry that pushes meat. She has introduced me to simple and sustainable vegetarian meals which meet my protein needs and taste delicious. So, what about the results? Well considering I’ve been on a couple of short breaks and enjoyed nights out with friends and colleagues, I’ve managed to lose 10 kilos in 10 weeks and have reached a weight I never thought achievable. I’m now only a few kilos away from having a six-pack which I’ve never managed before and, in all honesty, didn’t think was conceivable from where I started from. I also feel much more focused and mentally sharp. For me, life certainly does begin at 40! I’d highly recommend UP in Cheshire - great team, nice environment (inc free parking) plus the other clients are really friendly too.

Fantastic experience: I decided to join UP as I felt as though I was at last chance saloon with my personal health and fitness. I'd become a menopausal cliche, fifties, fat and frumpy - I just didn't recognise myself when I looked in the mirror. I had no energy and felt as though my get up and go had gone years ago. So after months of procrastination, I took the plunge and joined up. I can't deny I was full of trepidation and worried as I had a history of old back injuries and work out of the country a lot. Could I actually do the exercises? how was I going to manage counting macros when I wasn't cooking for myself? and many other doubts. Then I met my trainer - Paul Goody, quite frankly one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and talented people I've been lucky enough to meet both in my professional and personal life. Through our work together I've achieved more than any fad diet or exercise program I've been on in the last thirty years. It's not just weight loss which he's supported me to achieve but a different mindset. I'm halfway through my fitness journey. I'm never going to be someone who sprints to the finish line, I'm a plodder. But this doesn't matter, at UP no matter what your personal style is, they tailor the program to you and make sure you are supported every step of the way. Paul enables me to succeed, he knows my limits better than I do, he's firm but fair and that's what I like. There's always a positive atmosphere in the gym, all the trainers are friendly and supportive but not intrusive. The gym is a place where transformations happen, it's happening for me & I never thought it would. I've not quite got to where I want to be just yet, but I have no doubt working with Paul and UP I'll get there.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience training with Callum at UP. I am 8 weeks into the programme and 15kg down already. UP is worth every penny that is spent and is so much more than a few PT sessions a week. The advice, nutritional support, encouragement and all around amazingness of Callum and the team is incredible. Every day I receive messages of encouragement and support along with advice about food choices and it makes all the difference. Thank you Callum and UP - I have a long journey ahead still but I know that I will get there xxxx

Fantastic experience: I was somewhat apprehensive about the whole experience but I’ve really enjoyed the training and getting back into fitness. Max has been great at working around my schedule as I work shifts making it difficult to commit to the same times each week. I’ve seen really good progress and feel much fitter compared to when I started which were my goals. It’s hard work but with the app and regular check ins you feel supported throughout.

Fantastic experience: I train with Laura twice and week and I can’t believe the results I’m achieving not only physically but mentally as well. I joined ultimate performance not really knowing what my personal goals were but together we’ve complied a list that I could’ve only dreamed of at the beginning. I’m so happy to see positive changes in my life from my strength, fitness and nutrition. I couldn't recommend UP or Laura enough!

Fantastic experience: A life changing 6 months. I originally signed up for 12 weeks, but have since renewed and enjoy the process and training so much I'll keep it going for as long as possible. The support, guidance, knowledge and empathy from my trainer, Max has been key. Everything I thought I knew from years of weight training (badly) has been re-written and Max has pushed me physically and mentally past what I ever thought I could achieve, whilst understanding what would keep me motivated - so not to slow down my progress. If you've been mulling over joining UP for a while, don't waste any more time and sign up. It'll far exceed any expectations you may have.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at UP for 6months (slight medical break in the middle). The first day I walked in I was feeling extremely uncomfortable in my body and had no self confidence. I was struggling to leave the house and the thought of my girls’ group chat pinging with a night out talked about sent me into a panic. Max made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked through the door . He explained everything to me and said he’d be there every step of the way. And he definitely has! Having not trained in over 4years I didn’t know how I would be in the gym but Max gave me the confidence to really push myself. I have lost over a stone, dropped 2 dress sizes and am wearing clothes I never thought I would again. I feel I have regained my confidence and don’t dread the group chat ping anymore. Also the training programme has helped my mental health. Being a stay at home mum with a 3year old can be very isolating but training has given me something to look forward to for myself and has invigorated me. I have so much energy that I can now keep up with my son at soft play!!

Fantastic experience: My experience at UP Cheshire has been wonderful. My trainer Max has not only helped me lose weight and gain muscle, but has encouraged me to push myself and achieve a level of fitness I didn't think I was capable of. I am only part way through my fitness journey with Max, but I am excited to see what else we can achieve.
