Ultimate Performance Personal Trainers Manchester

Fantastic experience: I have been training at UP for the past 2 months and I am enjoying every minute of it, the facility is top notch and I want to give a huge shout out to my personal trainer Connor Walker, he’s got great knowledge and checks in with me daily to ensure I hit my macros, he trains me at my own pace and motivates me during the sessions, I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking about training to go to UP, it may be on the expensive side but definitely worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Ultimate performance is truly exceptional. They provide the tools, support, and accountability necessary to achieve any goal. The facility is immaculately clean, and each session is expertly organised and executed. The trainers are highly knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. Joining was the best decision I ever made. It's a welcoming and friendly environment for everyone. I can’t emphasize enough how much I recommend Conor Day as a Personal trainer. The impact of having a PT is truly transformative. Even if you believe you know what you should be doing, the power of accountability is immense. Conor is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and patient. He always knows when to challenge me and when to let me progress at my own pace, all while providing continuous encouragement and positive feedback. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me back into a consistent exercise routine after a long break. He never ceases to motivate, and after 10 weeks, I'm seeing significant progress in terms of weight loss (13kg) and strength. Additionally, I've noticed a remarkable improvement in my overall fitness and well-being. I highly recommend him. If you've been considering hiring a personal trainer, don't wait any longer. You will see results. It will be the best decision you've ever made.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with UP for just over 8 months now, I knew from the start this was not going to be a 12 week transformation programme for me as I have injuries and other underlying medical issues that prevent me from working out as hard as I could say 15 years ago, but from day one Connor (Walker) understood my injuries and communicated regularly with my physiotherapist to ensure I could workout safely, eight months on I feel like a new person both physically and mentally. I can't tell you how much Connor has helped me over the months, it's not just going through the motions with training, he explains why we do certain exercise's and he's always there keeping me accountable in terms of diet and steps! Thank you Connor. For those who are injured or have other medical issues and feel you will never be able to get back in shape, you will be looked after at UP with their expert knowledge. I can't recommend them enough, worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I started training at UP almost 2 months ago and have made some good progress. After not going to the gym for 2-3 years, my trainer Connor has been very patient and supportive to help me pick things up again. Other trainers are also very nice and friendly. I have really enjoyed the experience and learnt a lot as well. Definitely highly recommended for those who need motivation and professional expertise to make a change to their wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Since joining the gym, I have really enjoyed working with my trainer Connor each week. His knowledge and patience have really motivated me to try and achieve my goal. Also, being able to share the success stories of other members is a great incentive.

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough of UP. My trainer, Adam, has been absolutely incredible. . I have always trained and been aware of eating well but Adam has fine tuned my technique and made sure I know exactly what to eat in order to reach my goals and what to do afterwards to ensure I stay in a place I'm happy. If you're thinking about starting, just do it. You won't regret it. You'll only wish you did it sooner.

Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Glenn and Hannah excellent pts can't wait to see the improvement in the next few months

Fantastic experience: Been training for 12 weeks at UP with Glen as my PT. I have never felt so good and the change is my body was noticeable from 4 weeks. Can’t recommend this play enough and if you’re thinking about joining I recommend you do it. 5 star service

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ultimate Performance and my trainer, Glen, highly enough! When I started, I was feeling overweight and unsure of how to make lasting changes. Fast forward to now, and I’m not only looking better, but I’m also feeling amazing about myself! Glen has been instrumental in this journey, providing tailored training and invaluable information that I honestly don’t think I could have found anywhere else. His support and expertise have made a world of difference, and I’ve learned so much about fitness and nutrition along the way. The investment in my health has been well worth it, and I’m grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced. If you’re considering personal training, look no further than Ultimate Performance!

Fantastic experience: Second time at UP and second time with Nelea. Honestly best decision I’ve ever made. There are “personal trainers” in the world then there are UP Personal Trainers. Are you sick of paying a PT to say words of encouragement every 15 minutes and not see results? Then get in here The technical knowledge is magical The diet tracking is perfect The teaching is second to non And I’ve lost 10kg in 12 weeks so the results are phenomenal. Thanks Nelea and Up!

Fantastic experience: Up Fitness Laurence Nekooie My experience during the last three months with 2-3 times work out at UP Fitness Manchester have been absolutely exceeding my expectations. I chose UP Fitness because of the 1-2-1 approach with a designated PT supported by the app to be accountable for food and work out in support of this lifestyle change. Not only did I gain strength, lost the desired and aimed 8kg but I also gained clarity and confidence. I train horses and my core strength and balance are important; after several injuries, I am aware of an aging body and am interested in a long term fitness regime. My designated PT Laurence NeKooie is always responsive to questions, finds settings and routines aiming exactly to improve my fitness to help me improve in my other Sport. My performance went noticeably up in the % I gained with my horses in dressage and I gained success in several Championships. The sessions are always challenging and improving my strength. Engaging with UP Fitness and starting this new fitness regime made me settle in Manchester - we moved a bit over a year ago from Germany and every move (in total 12) takes it time and toll to find a healthy routine. I am aware of my aging body and with 55 years and having been engaged in competitive Golf, Tennis and Riding, my goal is it to age as fit as I can. I am at the right place with a very well chosen PT in Laurence NeKooie. Excited to see to which bodyfat % this journey will take us.

Fantastic experience: I initially joined Ultimate Performance for three months before COVID, and during that time, I saw great results. But like many, after the pandemic hit, I struggled to stay on track with fitness, even though I had joined another well-known gym, but it didn’t work out. Since then, staying fit had become a real challenge for me. In May 2024, I made the decision to return to Ultimate Performance. From the moment I walked back in, I knew it was one of the best decisions for my health and well-being. It’s not just about lifting weights; it’s a holistic approach to life and fitness. My personal trainer, Conor Day, has been incredible. He understands my strengths and weaknesses and tailors the training accordingly. Now in my fourth month back, I can honestly say this is the best investment I’ve made in myself. The physical results are fantastic, but the mental benefits have been just as powerful. I can’t see myself leaving UP anytime soon, it’s supportive, effective, and exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have just finished 12 weeks at ultimate performance and I can honestly say this is the best decision I could have made for my health and fitness. I have tried lots of gyms and diets in the past and never got close to results they have helped me achieve in 12 weeks. The whole team and the environment there is great and everyone is very friendly and encouraging. Adam has been excellent throughout this process and has been a really good balance of accountability encouragement and education. He literally checks in everyday and is always on hand if I have any questions. I’ve really enjoyed the attention to detail to explain everything and why it’s important regarding training and nutrition. I would strongly recommend UP Manchester

Fantastic experience: My decision to join UP was motivated by a desire to take on a new personal challenge. Having undertaken 1-2-1 personal training for a number of years, I was aware of the many benefits, both physical and mental, it could bring. However, I was keen to take things up a notch - my previous training had been challenging and successful in terms of results, however, I felt I had plateaued and got somewhat 'stuck' in a maintenance phase. My primary aim was to get as lean as possible but to do it in a healthy and sustainable way. I've been training at UP in Manchester with Izzy for approx. 15 weeks and have found the experience to be incredibly rewarding. Week on week, I've observed body and mindset changes and I'm now firmly on track, with Izzy's unwavering guidance, support and sheer enthusiasm, to achieve my goals. I've also learnt a great deal about technique and the best ways in which to make small adaptations to full body exercises and tempo in order to isolate and activate specific muscles which has resulted in me gaining in strength and increased muscle definition. Izzy is an expert in her field, as are her fellow trainers. Their experience and knowledge is second to none and self evident in the results they work with their clients to achieve. They also create a positive, supportive and fun environment in which to train. It's certainly time to work hard when you're in the gym but there are lots of smiles and laughs to be had along the way! If you have a fitness goal that you're keen to pursue, the trainers at UP can undoubtedly help you to realise it.

Fantastic experience: I’m currently six weeks into my twelve week course at UP and making the decision to enroll at UP Manchester is the best thing I’ve ever done for my own personal improvement. The tailored training programme and diet has already had a huge and positive impact on my health and fitness, I have much more energy through the day and am getting more done. Having the comfort knowing that you’re being perfectly trained in a state of the art gym with the best personal trainers simply builds on enthusiasm for going to every session, maxing out on personal benefit. My personal trainer Noel Robertson is extremely professional in his approach to my success, his attention to detail in ensuring my technique for each exercise is perfected and efficient helps me to constantly progress the volume of my workout. The atmosphere and vibe in the gym makes it the perfect place to pause from your daily life and focus on your own personal performance and achieve the results you deserve.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Ultimate Performance Manchester with Tom for just under 6 months, and it has truly been life-changing. I'm healthier, fitter, and in the best shape I've ever been. I came here craving direction and accountability, and Tom delivered beyond my expectations. He keeps me motivated and helps me stay on track when needed, always providing the perfect balance of support and challenge. Beyond just the physical results, I've gained a deeper understanding of exercise and my body. The confidence I've built through training with Tom has also allowed me to work out independently in a commercial gym and even start running, something that used to intimidate me. I can't recommend UP and Tom's personal training enough! On top of that, every trainer there goes out of their way to say hello and is extremely friendly, which creates a comfortable environment to work out in

Fantastic experience: Trained with Lawrence for the best part of a year now, on and off due to travel and work commitments. I love the guy. Part trainer, part nutritionist, part therapist. Exactly the right amount of push in the training. Super knowledgeable and technical, but well rounded person. Understanding, supportive, all round good guy. Atmosphere in the gym is always welcoming and friendly, except for when the monthly challenges get extra competitive, but in all likelihood, that’s probably me!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Laurence for over 14 weeks and he really has shown true commitment to help me achieve my goals and stay on track. He has been very supportive and knowledgeable throughout the whole time. Thank you! I could not recommend Laurence as a trainer and UP as a company enough!

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for a few weeks now and already love it. My trainer is knowledgeable and really focuses on my individual goals. The workouts are challenging but tailored to my fitness level, and I’m seeing progress already. The gym is clean, organized, and has everything I need. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that this has been the best decision that I have made in a long time. I was put off initially by the cost, so tried other personal trainers, diets and online exercise programs. I wasted a lot of money with no real results. Once I joined UP, I had an in depth discussion with my trainer Juris about my goals and how I was going to achieve them. He has been superb. He fully explains the weight training and the nutrition and keeps you on track through comments on the UP app. I have lost 10kg and 10% body fat. I am now back to my weight before I had children (after 20 years of trying!) and I feel absolutely fantastic; full of energy, stronger and so much more positive about life in general. I really could not have made this journey without Juris and the team at UP, who are all so friendly and inspirational. I would highly recommend this training programme.

Fantastic experience: Amazing amazing community. It’s not just a gym! I went to UP Manchester with a goal for fat loss and I achieved more than just that. I lost 7% body fat and a lot about nutrition. My initial goal was 12 weeks of fat loss and now I’m going back to get stronger. Can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at UP is very friendly and I feel they work hard to create a welcoming environment that is not intimidating. As an older woman I felt very out of my comfort zone on my first visit but my trainer, Nelea (Nelly) has been lovely - she is knowledgeable, strict but empathic and has pushed me (which is what I wanted) but all the while with a gentle manner. UP is undoubtedly expensive but the input from the trainers, both in and out of the gym, is on a level you are unlikely to experience elsewhere; Nelly is always on hand to encourage, answer questions and share her knowledge of nutrition and exercise. I have been to other trainers/gyms over the years who have nothing like the focused approach that UP provides. If, especially as an older person, you are thinking about UP but are not too sure, I can say that you will be supported and encouraged the whole way by highly committed staff. Go for it!

Fantastic experience: I have been on and off gym for such a long time and I never saw results and I have now been training with juries for 4 months and I finally look like I go gym. My strength has gone up, my body looks better and overall I'm enjoying going gym as well. The money is worth everything!! Yes it's expensive but the amount of time being saved is priceless and most importantly RESULTS. Training with juris is like training with prime Arnold best trainer I've ever had. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Izzy has saved my life. I came to her 7 weeks ago weighing the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I was low in energy , mood and self confidence. Izzy made me a meal plan, training regime and a promise she was going to get me for and healthy. She made me believe it was achievable and just need me to commit. I did. 7 weeks later I’m over 10kgs down. I look and feel fresher and healthier. I do not need to take medication to control my blood pressure. I’m eating real food and moving more. My kids are welcoming the more energised version of me. I cannot think Izzy enough. I look at my starting photos and can see how physically unwell I was. Izzy has revived me. Literally brought me back from the brink of having a stroke of heart attack. Cannot thank her enough. Looking forward to entering phase 2 of my training her. Fitter. Stronger. Healthier.

Fantastic experience: UP is fantastic, I signed up to the 12 week plan to improve my overall wellbeing and help with a long term health condition, 8 weeks in with my trainer Conors' brilliant support, training and meal planning, I have seen great improvements in my weight, body shape and muscle, my strength, stamina, sleep patterns and mood. The app, measurements and photo check in's allow you to keep on top of everything and physically see the changes in your body as you compare photos. I have a demanding job that involves travel and Conor has been flexible and great at advising on nutrition whilst away from home to ensure I stay on track to meet the goals and priorities we agreed at the start. The atmosphere at the gym is great, the equipment is very well maintained and all the trainers very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: UP is as transformative as they promise on their website. This is the highest praise I can give. I’ve been working with Isobel for eight weeks. I came in with a strong base of respiratory fitness, having run my first marathon two weeks before, but she has been able to completely revolutionise my approach to nutrition and fitness. My photos and measurements show this. Isobel is a genius trainer, always able to give motivation and tips as well as knowing how many reps I have in me. I have never been in as good health as I am now with her support and guidance and the programme isn’t done yet. The Manchester gym is a great environment. There are no gimmick machines, and that summarises the whole ethos of the organisation. They want you to get results and will tell you exactly what that means. You can’t hide here - the measurements and photos are done regularly to help keep you on track. That discipline is one of my favourite things - I want to keep seeing success so I work for it. Overall, I can’t recommend UP enough. Your health will grow in ways I genuinely didn’t think were possible. The website tells the truth - walk their walk and you will match the photos they show.

Fantastic experience: In short, UP has been brilliant. Before signing up, everything was heading in the wrong direction for me - working more, exercising less, sleeping less and very bad habits creeping into my diet. Isobel and her 12 week programme has provided me with clear direction on how to get the most out of a gym session and provided me with fantastic knowledge about nutrition and recovery. It’s a real challenge, especially in the first few weeks but it’s really changed my life and I would definitely recommend the commitment to anyone seeking a real change. Isobel and the UP Manchester team are a great bunch to work with and I look forward to going back for another stint very soon.

Fantastic experience: I've never had a personal trainer before but I know from friends that most of the times they can't see major changes and they also have too many diet slippages whereas here at Ultimate Performance they are very direct with you very straightforward and that just helps us to be more disciplined, helps us keep on track, making sure we're in the right direction and in the end I've personally seen major changes in my body and I've accomplished my main goal, which wasn't even aesthetics. My goal was to be able to run again for longer periods of time as couldn't before due to a knee injury related to my loss of muscle mass, and to adopt new and better habits, ultimately to feel more energy. I'm eating much cleaner now and even though I was already taking conscious decisions on food, now I feel I can control my impulses a lot better because of all the meal planning and guidance. The value of Ultimate Performance is not only on the gym floor, but I would argue that most of it is outside of the gym. And Nelea, my Personal Trainer, had been key for my progress and results, in and out of the gym! I've lost around 12kg and reached 9.5% body fat, from more than 18%

Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend UP Manchester to anyone who knows they want to make a change in their life and needs a safe, non threatening and supportive environment to achieve this. A big shout out to Isobel Hardcastle, a fantastic PT and motivator! I feel physically, and for me most importantly mentally, a very different person for the better

Fantastic experience: Absolute best in the business at UP Manchester. The training pushes you in a good way so you progress week on week and the nutrition plans are sensible and structured. 4 weeks in and already seeing changes in weight and body composition. The PT’s are friendly and approachable and keep in constant contact with you to keep you accountable. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Nelea just over 2 months ago. To say I am impressed is an understatement, her wealth of experience and knowledge is outstanding. Not only have I lost around 8% body fat but I’ve pretty much maintained my lean muscle mass which is amazing. I can definitely tell my body composition is changing and can’t fault her advice and continued support to get these results in such a short space of time

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend UP enough! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with professionalism and enthusiasm ☺️. My trainer Isobel is incredibly knowledgeable and create personalised programs tailored to my goals. I became more confident with the way I look and now renewed my program to push even further! I am so exited to see more transformations. I strongly recommend UP!

Fantastic experience: I did a three month program with UP, coached by Isobel. I joined because I felt like I was slipping out of shape, when I finished the program I got in the best shape of my life, it really transformed my body, my diet and my mindset. Definitely worth giving it a try, it’ll changed your life :)

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazing experience at UP Manchester, where the team were incredible with the initial consultations and support throughout my training programme. Laurence was amazing with supporting me throughout, enabling me to learn more about nutrition and the correct form needed. Further adapting sessions where needed to support with life outside of training. I would definitely recommend UP Manchester to anyone looking to get into a good routine and a massive thank you again to Laurence.

Fantastic experience: The whole team at UP Manchester are absolutely outstanding - every single member is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and collectively they have built a gym environment that encourages every individual who walks through the doors to feel good about themselves and to achieve goals previously inaccessible to them. Steve does a brilliant job of taking the time to sit down with potential clients and personally match them with PTs based on their wishes and goals. I have had the privilege of working with Isobel for 16 weeks now and there hasn't been one session that I haven't enjoyed and felt better for. I am fitter, stronger, healthier and happier than I have been in a very long time and I have Isobel and UP to thank for that. The program is challenging but extremely rewarding and Isobel's expertise and ability to fit the program around my very demanding life makes UP worth its weight in gold! I completely trust her and it is very evident that she genuinely cares about her clients and their progress. I've tried so many gyms in the past and haven't seen the results I've wanted until UP. It is a cut above and I cannot recommend it more to anyone considering it.

Fantastic experience: If I could leave more starts I would!! I've only been with UP for 11 weeks now and not only have I seen a massive improvement in the way I look but I also gained a new found love for the gym/exercise that I never had before. Conor has been so supportive and understanding with my goals and bad days I had and was very accommodating. I LOVE the programme, the money is very very worth it!!

Fantastic experience: I love the space, very friendly and welcoming staff. It makes me want to go train. And I especially love my PT - Nelea Plescan. She gives me what I'm looking for, motivation to continue and consistency. I see significant results at all levels.

Fantastic experience: I am 30 years old I’ve been going gym and working out since I was 15 years old I always mange to get a good fit body but there’s always that next step that you want to get that you’ve been trying for years and years and you can’t get to it till you turn around and you tell your self that’s it is my DNA I can’t never get a rip or build muscle or anything that you tell your self . But guess what there’s always a way of getting your goal no mater what and these guys will help you achieve it believe me it took me 3 months only . No need to take years . I’ve been working out with Aaron really happy .

Fantastic experience: Starting my journey was very daunting, knowing the effort I would have to put in was all on me. But it just dosnt feel like that at UP your trainers are there litrally every step of the way, with your sessions, food and even personally. I still have a way to go but the knowledge I'm gaining in all aspects is incredible. I'm already feeling benefits in my day to day life, energy, enthusiasm, nutrition the list goes on. I'm very excited to continue on my journey and really see what I can achive. A big thankyou to juris my trainer, despite how hard he pushes me he has been fantastic with every step and support possible

Fantastic experience: I am on a transformative fitness journey at Ultimate Performance Gym, and I must say, it's been nothing short of exceptional. My experience has been elevated by the incredible guidance and support of my personal trainer, Nelea. Nelea is not just a personal trainer; she motivates and supports me. During times when I struggled, she stood by me, offering not just physical training but also emotional encouragement. Her dedication goes beyond the gym floor, making her an invaluable part of my journey. The sessions at UP are challenging, but under Nelea's expert guidance, I've pushed myself further than I ever thought possible. Each session leaves me feeling accomplished and empowered, thanks to Nelea's push and belief in my abilities. If you're looking to elevate your fitness level and embark on a journey of transformation, I highly recommend Ultimate Performance Gym. You'll not only achieve your fitness goals but also discover a newfound strength within yourself. UP is not just a gym; it's a place where transformations happen, both physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: Had an incredible experience with UP, largely thanks to the work Connor put in. I completely changed my body in just 3 months and the difference it made to my mental health was immeasurable. It's the hardest but most rewarding thing I've ever done and I couldn't recommend UP and Connor more highly.

Fantastic experience: It’s certainly been a transformation with massive thanks to my trainer Conor Day. It’s been a life changer! The results have been phenomenal! Lost 3 stone in weight (19kg or 42lbs!) on the 12-week transformation programme. I mainly focused on the aesthetics when starting, but it’s the health benefits that can’t be ignored too. Prior to joining I was overweight, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout, and the doctor wanted to put me on statins. Fast forward 12 weeks and thanks to the help, support, and advice from Conor my blood pressure & cholesterol are down, and the doctor no longer wants to put me on statins. I’m sleeping better than ever and have great energy. In the words of the consultant “What you have done over the last 3 months has had a profound impact on your health”. It’s been an education too. At 46 years old I’ve spent a lot of time in the gym, but Conor spent the first weeks educating me on proper form and how to get the best out of my sessions to get the best results and move away from vanity lifting. I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20’s. I’ve had personal trainers before; with Conor I’ve very much seen what the gold standard is. You get full attention, focus and support both in the gym and outside with tailored eating plans & ongoing advice. There is no getting away from it, in getting the gold standard requires a significant financial investment. Been worth every penny for me and also important to offset against the lifestyle changes you’ll make in cutting out the drinking and fine dining. Can’t recommend enough and thank you so much Conor Day!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start. One of the best decisions I have made!! Totally apprehensive at first, to the point I changed my consultation three times before biting the bullet. Walking down those stairs for the first time and seeing all the different weights and equipment was just nerve racking!! I’ve never been an avid gym goer and the most I’ve done previously was running on a treadmill so the thought of lifting weights really got me questioning if this was right for me but the team at UP are absolutely amazing and know their stuff!! I joined UP after the realisation that I am only 43 and I was getting out of breath after carrying my six year old child up the stairs, something had to change. I met my PT Conor Day three days later and I can’t say enough about him. He took the time to understand my goals, my (very poor) eating habits and helped me understand that it’s not all about the gym, it’s about the food, the steps, the sleep, the water, the tracking - the whole package!! Conor has been there for me every step of the way (even at weekends) setting goals for the week ahead pushing me harder than I could ever have imagined and each week pushes me that little bit more. He takes the time to explain what each machine does and what part of the body it works taking the time to show me how to do it correctly and moving on to something new if it just isn’t right. He constantly checks in to ensure I’m being honest pushing me to get those steps in and designing meals plans that even I as a fussy eater can stick too!! The journey so far has been fantastic I’ve never felt as good as I do now, I’ve got more energy, I’m more alert and more focused. I started this journey on a 12 week programme to improve my health but along the way I’ve also improved my physical appearance so I extended for another 12 week programme and I’ve gone down two waist sizes and have gone from wearing M/L to S and the compliments I receive give me that determination to push myself that bit further I’ve got seven weeks left on this journey and I’m excited to see the transformation continue. I cannot reccomend Connor and UP Manchester enough, it is one of the hardest things I have ever done but the sense of accomplishment after each session is second to none!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Ultimate Performance. The training and results I’ve had with Tom in the past year surpass anything I’ve done before. Developing nutrition and fitness while having set and achievable goals sees consistent progress and they excel in all of these.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I began my journey at Ultimate Performance in Manchester, it was clear that Juris wasn’t just a personal trainer; he was a transformative force in my life. His unparalleled expertise in fitness and nutrition, combined with a genuine passion for his clients’ wellbeing, has been nothing short of miraculous. Under Juris’s guidance, my health, diet, and workout routines have undergone major improvements. He possesses a unique ability to motivate and inspire, pushing me beyond what I thought possible, all while ensuring a safe and supportive environment. His personalised approach meant that every session was tailored to my specific needs, helping me achieve results I never thought attainable. What sets Juris apart is his holistic approach to fitness. He doesn’t just focus on the physical aspect, but also provides invaluable advice on nutrition and lifestyle, leading to a complete transformation in my overall wellbeing. His sessions are challenging yet incredibly rewarding, and his dedication is evident in every interaction. I cannot recommend Juris highly enough. Thank you, Juris, for not just being an extraordinary trainer but a true mentor and motivator. Your impact has been profound and I am immensely grateful. Paldies un Priecīgus Ziemassvētkus un Laimīgu Jauno Gadu

Fantastic experience: Special additional shoutouts to Steve and Izzy. I met Steve once right at the start and 5 weeks later he remembered my name - it really is a personal touch that I haven’t forgotten as so many people probably cross his door. Izzy I had as a substitute when Lisa was unwell once - and she was just as good - if not slightly more mean by upping the weights more! ;) If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate – I highly recommend UP Fitness, especially with Lisa. It's not just a gym; it's a life-changer! Plus they’ll laugh at your jokes, no matter how bad they are…

Fantastic experience: 9 weeks of training with Aaron at UP has me really feeling like myself again only 4.5 months post partum. The training and app at UP is really well designed to help you achieve your goals and really get a grip of your fitness and nutrition. The process is intense for sure but Aaron has held my hand whilst I dip my toe back into fitness after a year off. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about my personal trainer, Connor Day, at Ultimate Performance. In less than eight weeks, I've lost over 10 KG, gained significant muscle, and achieved results beyond my expectations. Connor goes above and beyond, providing 24/7 support, quick responses to messages, and adapting workouts for my travel or specific needs. His commitment and expertise make Ultimate Performance the ideal choice for anyone seeking transformative fitness experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Think you’ve trained before? Think again! I’ve trained for years but never seen the results I wanted, until now. I’ve been working with PT Tom Picton for 7 weeks so far at UP Manchester and can’t speak highly enough of the knowledge, guidance and support I’ve received that’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. It’s all in the details. In that short space of time my body shape has already started to change along with my athletic performance away from the gym at Ice Hockey. I feel like a different person. Tom knows exactly when to push you and is always available for any advice. I can’t recommend Ultimate Performance and Tom highly enough.

Fantastic experience: When I joined UP Manchester in June 2019 I quickly realised it was one of the best decisions I’d ever made and now we’re in 2023 I still feel that way. In my time at the gym I’ve had several trainers (I currently train with Noel) and all of them have been fantastic. They make the sessions very challenging, but fun at the same time and their attention to detail when it comes to correct form is second to none. They’re also brilliant at monitoring everything that can positively impact results, such as nutrition and supplements. I’m now in my 40s and I’ve never been as fit as I am now, which I attribute wholly to UP. The gym itself is fantastic, very well equipped and, although it is high end, has an extremely welcoming and friendly atmosphere. In short, it’s a pleasure to train there and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client at this gym for 4 weeks. I am on the Body Transformation programme and I can’t sing their praises enough! I have lost over 8kg and gained much more confidence in my physical and mental ability. Which is all thanks to my trainer Noel! The gym environment is friendly, professional and well equipped. From the in-person guidance, to the online support through their app. You truly feel supported and have the tools to be held accountable for your progress. Diets, and tracking of, are provided through the app and your trainer is able to see, encourage and suggest improvements at every stage. Sessions are one to one, and you’re guided through each movement to maximise and ensure correct form. Stop scrolling and sign up to Ultimate Performance! You don’t know what you’re missing!!

Fantastic experience: Have been in the manchester UP gym about 6 weeks now , 6kg down already, and 6%down for the body fat, the changes not just for the weight / body fat figures also on the photos of my bodyshape are so great. The healthy food plan is so helpful. I never thought this kind of change can happen to me. My trainer Tom keeps motivating me to achieve the goal. Look forward to the 12 week’s results.

Fantastic experience: I decided to bite the the bullet and sign up to Ultimate Performance after losing my mojo for training following injuries and work commitments left me out of shape and losing fitness. It was 100% the right decision! After years of struggling to find enthusiasm for training and not getting any results from what I was doing, in 12 weeks I have drop 10kg, 7% body fat and the abs are back! I train with Steve Jones who has been incredible… Incredibly strict and incredibly supportive! We push hard in training, but we also laugh a lot. The nutrition side of things is brilliant and Steve is literally always at the end of the phone to answer any random questions I have. I feel the best I have in a long time and my entire attitude to diet and training has changed. I genuinely cannot recommend highly enough. If you’re thinking about making long term changes don't put it off, sign up today , you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have just finished 16 weeks of training at ultimate performance and I can honestly say it has been life changing . Laurence my trainer has been incredible from start to finish . He has fully supported me day in day out . All the staff at U.P have always been so friendly and caring. The food choices and exercises have always been adapted to my needs . I suffer with scoliosis and Laurence has always ensured that I am safe when exercising and he adapts each session to ensure I am pain free . I have lost 20kg in weight which I never thought I would be able to achieve and I wouldn’t have without the help of Laurence and the team and U.P. Thank you xxx

Fantastic experience: I am just over half way through a 12 week body transformation programme at UP Manchester, and so far the experience has been better than I could ever have expected! I have lost circa 8kg and built noticable muscle in my upper body. I'm eating and sleeping better than I ever have, and I feel amazing for it. My trainer, Steve Jones, has been fantastic throughout! He takes the time to talk me through every detail of the programme both in terms of the nutrition and the work in the gym. Steve is super friendly, very easy to work with but knows exactly when to push me during our sessions. I'm extremely grateful to UP for what this programme has done for me so far, and I'm excited to see what results we can achieve by the end. If you are considering hiring a PT, do not look elsewhere - these guys are the best out there!

Fantastic experience: Joining UP is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The facilities are absolutely top notch, but more importantly the atmosphere, and culture of support, is second to none. My coach, Lisa, is more than just a trainer. She's my biggest cheerleader, and she pushes me incredibly hard on and off the gym floor. My journey hasn't always been smooth, but Lisa has been there for me every step of the way and I cannot thank her enough. I'm so excited to see what we can achieve together.

Fantastic experience: I've had an incredible experience at UP Manchester, and it's all thanks to my fantastic trainer, Steve J. I started my fitness journey here in January 2023 with a 36-week program, for the first time ever in myself, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Best investment ever made to myself. Steve is not just a trainer; he's a true motivator and expert in his field. His personalized approach to fitness has made every session challenging, enjoyable, and tailored to my specific goals. His knowledge and dedication shine through, creating a positive and supportive environment that keeps me coming back for more. Every time he knows exactly when is my last rep (before I know it) and help me beat myself one rep at a time. What sets UP Manchester apart is the genuine commitment to clients' success. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and the staff is always friendly and encouraging. The atmosphere is motivating, and it's evident that the entire team is passionate about helping clients achieve their fitness goals. Having initially committed to a 36-week program, I've decided to extend my journey at UP Manchester for as long as I can. The positive changes in my strength, stamina, and overall well-being are a testament to the effectiveness of the training programs here. If you're looking for a top-notch gym with experienced trainers who genuinely care about your progress, UP Manchester is the place to be. Big thanks to Steve and the entire UP team for making my fitness journey an exceptional one!

Fantastic experience: Halfway through a program with Tom and cannot rate Tom and UP enough. Initial consultation was welcoming and took away any apprehension and every session with Tom has been great in educating on how to train properly and compliment with the right diet. He’s always around for our of hours advice / comms and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Cannot reccomend Ultimate Performance enough. They are so slick at keeping track of your progress and making sure you don't plateau or go off track. As long as you are dedicated to becoming a better version of yourself, you will not be unsatisfied with the results. The facilities are clean (albeit the lockers need some fixing!) and all the equipment is well maintained, looks new and hygenic. The trainers are all very welcoming and make you feel part of a sort of team! Special shout out to Lisa for making me give it my all every session!

Fantastic experience: My personal training experience at UP has been outstanding!! The training is on a different level and standard, compared to the one to one training you receive at other gyms. I have to say that you have to put in a lot of time, effort, commitment and dedication to get the high end results and these are not achieved over night. However, the training at UP gives you the frame by frame tools you need to achieve your goals. The big thing I have learnt from UP training is diet control is the key to success. Shockingly, with a lot of will power and input from Nelea I have now changed the way I eat, something which has taken me a long time to do. I have had Nelea as one of my personal trainers and I really can’t fault her. She is strict in her regime, but this is what you need if your serious about achieving your desired results. What impresses me the most about Nelea is her attention to detail, with every single exercise…. there is definitely no room for cheating lol!! She works extremely hard to put you on the right path to get the look you are after. Overall, 5 stars for UP and 5 star plus for Nelea

Fantastic experience: I completed 18 sessions over a 6-week period. During that time Ultimate Performance (UP) taught me how to eat properly and train effectively, I lost 9kg reducing my body fat percentage from 35% to 25%. A special thank you to my trainer Juris who provided extremely clear and precise guidance throughout and made each session challenging yet fun. In addition, I have also acquired valuable knowledge and know-how which I have been able to utilise since completing my training with UP to lose additional weight and become even fitter and healthier.

Fantastic experience: When i first went to UP i was a little overwhelmed, all the trainers looked amazing and I thought they would wonder what i was doing there, how wrong could I have been, Steve the manager knew which trainer to pair me with and couldnt have got it more perfect, Nelea pushes me and wants me to succeed as much as i want too. She just gets me, i cant imagine doing this with anyone else ! Joining UP was one of the best decisions i ever made and cant thank them enough as we go on this journey together

Fantastic experience: This place is more than a 12 week transformation. I started firstly with the sole purpose of losing weight, getting into shape. However UP and Adams professionalism have also been a massive influence on my mental health and well-being! Recovering from surgery and a back injury in 2022. Adam, understood my goals, my life, and most importantly how to encourage me to be the best version of me inside and outside of the UP environment. 10kg down in weight, stronger and fitter. I couldn’t recommend UP and Adam enough. The professionalism throughout the PT environment, to the checkin’s in the week, and the great quality of reading material that Adam and UP educate clients on are on point.

Fantastic experience: This place really is incredible! I'm just over half way through my initial 12 week training package and I couldn't be more impressed. The facilities are modern with state of the art equipment, but most importantly the staff are amazingly professional, friendly and encouraging. I am not only getting great results, but am being educated on how to maintain my results long term. My trainer Nelea (Nelly) couldn't be more knowledgeable, informative, responsive or encouraging. I am so thankful that I started this journey. This programme really is life changing in the best possible way.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, loved it. I'd lost my mojo after a tumultuous few yrs of family issues and a bereavement, and needed some help sorting out my fitness levels and my physique. In 12 wks I made some great gains w/the help of my absolutely fantastic PT, Noel, who guided me and worked w/me during the 1-on-1 strength training sessions. It's not just about working hard in the gym, but also learning how daily step count, water, macros (food-wise), cardio and good (vs bad!) food choices can all contribute to your body. UP has an app to track everything you do, which builds up data so you can see what you're doing...and in time, look back and see how far you've come. Commit to it and do everything they ask of you (as much as you can, life permitting ofc!) and you'll see a great transformation. Staff are friendly, v supportive, loved being on the gym floor, learning more about strength training, good form, technique, seeing the gains I made each week. We all need to take more personal responsibility for our health, it's self-care. It was hard at times, but often those times when you work hard is when you see greatest results, and you find you can achieve great things. I got a lot of compliments from friends and family when they saw the before and after pics...I think I have inspired a few people to pull their finger out and get going on their own fitness journey! Real confidence booster, and another example of how positive habit forming is so beneficial for body AND soul. Recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Words cannot justify what Adam Bailey and the wider UP Manchester team have done to change the lives of myself and my wife. Like most people we had got into a real rut with food, drink and general poor health during the covid pandemic. Our lifestyle was seriously affecting our mental health, relationship and performance at work. Since joining UP every aspect of my life has improved to a level I did not know was possible. Adam has been a huge motivator, guide and teacher to me during the process, using his exceptional knowledge, professionalism and caring nature to provide me with the skills, motivation and routine needed to create a sustainable long term life plan for my health. I have learned more about food and fitness in the short time I have been with UP than in the previous 39 years of my life before that. In Just 24 weeks, UP Manchester have changed my life forever. I have lost 29kg of weight, 20% Body Fat, reduced my resting heart rate levels to normal from high and reduce my blood pressure from high risk to normal. I am fitter and healthier at 39 than I was at 18 thanks to Adam. I owe a huge gratitude to Adam and the rest of the UP Manchester team who have shown me nothing but support since the very first day I walked through the door. I will certainly be staying with UP Manchester and my trainer Adam to continue my health and fitness Journey. I cannot reccommend Adam Bailey and UP Manchester enough. They change Lives....FACT!!!!!

Fantastic experience: With a welcoming staff team and great program, my time at UP has been a defining experience. Juris, my PT is invested and holds me to account for my performance both inside and outside the gym. The progress that I have made in such a short time has been a confidence-boosting experience and has has allowed me to feel like my old self again. Many thanks to the UP Team

Fantastic experience: It was hard work, but totally worth it. My trainer Lisa really pushed me and there’s no way I could’ve achieved my goals without her help and support. I went from over 15% in body fat to 10% in 6 weeks which was awesome but really the main thing for me was learning so much in a short space of time and growing so much in confidence!! Ultimate Performance will get you results. Wherever you are on your journey, they will help you transform. It’s no joke but if you’re willing to put in the hard work, you’ll be transformed. Thanks again to Lisa for everything, I’m now excited to put everything I’ve learned into action and continue to grow!

Fantastic experience: After spending several months debating whether to start the 'transformation' process I decided to go for it and started in January 2023. I have to say it has been the best decision I could have made! Before I started I was slightly nervous but I didn't need to be, there is a great atmosphere in the gym and all the trainers are very friendly. Juris my trainer is very supportive and is on hand anytime to discuss food options, this helps to stay on track. In the three months I have been training with Juris, I have lost just over one stone which I am absolutley delighted with and my body fat has reduced. I feel so much healthier and fitter...I can't wait to continue with my journey. I just wished I would have signed up sooner!

Fantastic experience: I started ultimate performance following gaining alot of weight from poor eating and didnt know where to start in terms of losing it. I had never really been a person for the gym or into fitness but this programme made me achieve results I never thought I’d be able to! In total I managed to lose about 10kg in about 5 months through this programme. My trainer was Izzy Hardcastle, who was really encouraging and understanding which really worked for me particularly with a stressful job! She helped me to form habits that naturally led me to eat and feel better, alongside enjoy becoming fitter. A really fantastic programme.

Fantastic experience: I started a 12 week programme (extended to 18) in August 2022. After being through a tough couple of years where I lost both my parents, hit 50 (and the menopause and all the joy that brings!) and an increasingly pressured job, I decided enough was enough and to get back to feeling strong and looking strong. I've always loved running and more recently strength training, but NEEDED some expert accountability, especially where my diet was concerned. The programme at UP gave me the structure I needed. All the team were great and welcoming / friendly, but my brilliant PT, Nelea, was an absolute godsend. She was way beyond what I expected and exactly what I needed. With her constant advice, support, and encouragement, not to mention a little bit of tough love about my food - I've so far dropped over 10kg, several inches from places I didn't know I could lose inches, hit my target and gained a massive amount of self-confidence and knowledge about training and nutrition. Thanks to Nelea, I will complete 18 weeks with UP in a much better place health and fitness wise. And I know where they are, should I ever need a 'top up'! If you are serious about wanting to commit to a fitness goal - I would highly recommend you have a chat with UP. And ask for Nelea.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience training at ultimate performance. It was great to have the guidance from my trainer through the sessions and advice on nutrition to improve my strength and wellbeing as well as improving my physical appearance. The experience makes it simpler and more enjoyable in achieving your goals.

Fantastic experience: Ultimate Performance Manchester is amazing! I originally signed up for 6 weeks and I am still here 6 months later. The team are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Juris is a brilliant trainer, full of knowledge and has been dedicated in helping me achieve results. Juris has done everything possible to help me reach my goals and has listened and answered my questions throughout. The results speak for themselves! 100% recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Joining UP was the best decision I’ve ever made and I wish I’d done it sooner. It’s not only helping me get my younger body back but it’s completely changed my lifestyle which was getting out of control. I’m only 11 weeks in but the difference already is unbelievable and I’m starting to feel confident again. I’ve never felt comfortable in other gyms but Joe always puts me at ease. He pushes me to reach goals that I never thought I was capable of and I can’t wait to continue my journey and see what we can achieve. Can’t recommend UP enough. They really are the best.

Fantastic experience: Walking down those steps into UP in Manchester on the first day and feeling in such a bad place was tough, but fast forward 12 weeks and I am astounded at what Noel at UP has managed to help me achieve. I felt like I was at the last chance saloon, overweight, unfit, bad eating habits and not a particularly good role model for my kids. Noel has educated me on eating habits, guided me through my sessions, encouraged me through exercises that I never in a million years thought I would be doing and has genuinely made a huge difference to the rest of my life. At the time of writing this I am about 15kg down, my body shape has changed and I feel strong. I’m now into my second set of 12 weeks and I find my self looking forward to my sessions. I never thought that I would say that ! UP are worth their weight in gold, they are a friendly bunch but my highest praise has to go to Noel who has been fantastic, so if you are on the fence about making that call I would urge you to pick up the phone. It’s an investment in the rest of your life and you will not regret it for a second.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend UP enough, I was a little apprehensive to sign up at first due to the fact I have used many personal trainers in the past where they promise the world and don't deliver, however UP do the total opposite! My trainer Connor goes above and beyond, from pushing me in the gym to making sure I am eating all the correct foods, monitoring my weight loss, advising me on what I can eat if I eat out, setting training plans for me on the days I am not with him - he is fully invested, I have an end goal and I know he will do everything to get me there. I am currently 6 weeks in and I can honestly say if UP is something your thinking about then do it! So far this has been a life changing experience for me, I have gone from being in a terrible routine of drinking alcohol & eating out daily, feeling lethargic, low energy, snappy and just miserable to now wanting to be in the gym, having loads of energy & feeling great about myself. I have learnt so much in the process so far, Connor is great at explaining all about the different macros I need each day and the calories I need to consume to ensure I am in a calorie deficit to loose weight. Six weeks in and almost 10kg down! I'm looking forward to the next 24 weeks.

Fantastic experience: After failing multiple times in my self-directed fitness journey, I sought help from UP Mcr and all I can think of is I wish I had discovered them earlier. 3 months in and I look and feel better. Pricey but well worth the investment. You are guided not just by your Pt but by the entire team who are approachable and friendly. They were even kind enough to accommodate my special request for a female trainer. Absolutely adore my PT Nelea Pelescan who has made training much more bearable despite of pushing my limits. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: For the last 12 weeks I’ve been on amazing fitness journey at UP which has seen me make the most of eat workout and completely changed my lifestyle. My starting point may be slightly different to most as I weighed 53kg with the aim of becoming stronger with more defined muscles. Historically I’ve been like many girl’s of my generation- calorie limiting and then doing crazy amounts of cardio and not consistently weight training. This often resulted in injuries and being physically exhausted. To the point in my first check in my PT could tell my body was inflamed from over exercising. My journey with UP has exceed my expectations. For this I need to say a massive thank you to my PT Nelea> She’s a perfectionist but this means I’ll be walking away with the full knowledge of how to execute exercises and have had an overhaul and education on my nutrition. For me this has been life changing- 1) realising my unhealthily relationship with food. 2) integrating weight training into my life and being able to consistently push myself with the help of my trainer. I’m now lifting weights I never thought I’d be able to do. I’m now in a place where I feel mentally better about myself. It’s also been great to have a trainer there that supports you 24/7, Nelea was always on hand to help with any nutrition/lifestyle questions. The whole process felt totally personalised to what I wanted and needed. I’ve genuinely loved my experience at UP to the point that at the start of each week I’m excited to get going and pushing myself a little bit more. The gym itself and the rest of the team there only add to making it the best PT experiences in Manchester.

Fantastic experience: I’m in my 5th week now with Ultimate Performance and can already say this early on that it’s the best decision I’ve made. I’m already 3kg down and haven’t been starved half to death! Like many people I’ve yo-yo’d with my weight and diet for years. I’m not new to the gym-life, but I just couldn’t out train bad habits or my poor relationship with food. This is the first time I can actually see myself building good habits and a structure that I will be able to take away long after my journey with U.P. has finished. When I had my initial consultation I stated that I wanted a PT who was going to push me hard and not allow me to slack off… Well I got what I asked for with Noel… He’s an absolute savage (in a good way) and is constantly pushing me every single session. My weight historically has been stubborn to drop, which in the past would cause me to spiral and give up… Noel has been the calming presence I’ve needed to ‘trust the process’ and slowly but surely the weight began to shift! (It’s almost as if he knows what he’s talking about lol) I’m looking forward to continuing on my journey and getting some amazing results!

Fantastic experience: TL;DR: Worth the investment to transform your personal health and fitness through learnings and habits that will last BUT you have to set realistic goals and be ready to put in the work I have been training with Noel Robertson who has been a brilliant trainer, mentor and teammate throughout my fitness journey. He has pushed me beyond what I thought I could do, has been patient with explaining each aspect (exercise, nutrition, etc.) of the programme in both a scientific and simple manner and has also kept me motivated especially on weeks when I felt weaker or had minimal results. We set 12kg loss as my goal and I have now lost 11kg with 1.5weeks left in my programme. Of course, I had the option to choose to lose more but my goals are multi-pronged. We have stayed true to my focus on setting healthy and sustainable habits while being mindful of the physical (prev injuries) and mental battle that comes with it (body dysmorphia, scale obsession, etc.) So don’t be scared to start - fitness journeys are highly personal and UP will find the best fit for you! There are a lot of concerns on price and how much it cost to train at UP. From my experience, I do believe it is worth the pay. You get expert 1-1 training experience (in and out of the gym), data-driven progress tracking and problem solving all accessible via their app, centre facilities (some machines I've never seen before!) and a results oriented programme made for you. They also provide great payment terms and pricing options (off-peak, etc). Beyond this, if your goal is to transform your life into a healthy one, the price is well worth it as the learnings stay with you beyond the 12 weeks. UP has, hands down, the best educated and the most professional trainers you will ever meet who are dedicated to getting you to where you want to be in your fitness journey. Can’t recommend them enough! UP has made me love working out and living a healthy/active lifestyle again. Thank you, Noel and the rest of the UP team! :)

Fantastic experience: I started training with Joe Delaney at UP Manchester in February 2022, initially signed up for the 12 week transformation with my primary goal being weight loss. It’s a testament to how genuinely life changing this place is that 18 months on I’m still here! It’s no exaggeration to say that I feel like a completely different person, mentally as well as physically. I have lost nearly 25kg overall (15kg in first 3 months), feel so healthy & motivated & have found I actually love lifting weights and feeling stronger every single session. The processes in place to get such good results are obviously tough - the training is hard and the nutrition side requires real discipline certainly initially, but the whole experience is brilliant, you feel the whole team is behind you and I’ve never once felt nervous or out of place. Joe is a lovely guy as well as being absolutely top of his game and I genuinely really enjoy every session - I am completely pushed to my limits but also have fun. Worth every penny and the best investment I’ve ever made in myself - next stop, the photoshoot! Thank you team UP Manchester!

Fantastic experience: My time at UP has been incredible and it’s by far the best investment I’ve made. UP have transformed me in many ways. From developing a healthier lifestyle, building my relationship with food, understanding the importance of sleep and nutrition. I walked into UP at my heaviest, low in confidence and recovering from a shoulder injury. I very quickly re-gained confidence and strength in my shoulder and I’m now lifting more than ever, plus I’m around 10kgs down in 10 weeks! This time has had a positive impact on my mind, body but also my work and personal life. I can’t thank my PT (Steve) enough - my results are from your support, gruelling workouts and guidance. You’ve taught me how to train in the gym whilst having the simplest diet - which I couldn’t figure out for years. Your an absolute legend. I’m sure this isn’t the end of my journey with UP - I can confidently say, this is the best of the best PT experience in Manchester. Big thank you and see you again soon.

Fantastic experience: I signed up with UP to get into shape for my wedding as well as feeling I had let myself go a bit during the lockdowns... Since signing up with Steve at UP in December I have gone from 20.5% to 14.2% body fat. I can honestly say this wouldn't of been possible without the support of UP and the accountability that it puts on you. There is nowhere to hide with their plans. I train at 6am 4 times a week and it is by far my favourite time in the day. I looked at a few different gyms in Manchester offering similar services and I am in no doubt that I made the right choice in UP.

Negative experience: I signed up to this gym wanting to get better at my technique, form and to improve my overall fitness, kickstarting good habits. The PT I was assigned to was very thorough with the questions and really delved into my goals in our welcome session. They gave clear critique on my form and clearly explained why the workout was set up in each way, it was all really insightful and helpful! However the reason for my 2 star review is that during my welcome I had stated that I have a history of eating disorders and did not want to be weighed, photographed or track my calories, all of these are triggers for me and I worked hard to overcome my eating disorder but it was still quite fresh. I stated that my fitness journey was NOT about weight loss or how I looked but rather I how I felt. My first session I was forced to get on the scales, have my photos taken and told that I had to stick to a very strict diet and track it, these were all things I had told them I did not want to do to protect my own mental health. Upon my second session, I was put back on the scales and I was met with a disapproving reprimand for only having lost 2lbs. I was repeatedly told off for not tracking food (I missed breakfast twice) and for having not lost enough weight. For me this was extremely damaging to my mental health and when I raised this I was met with a blank face 'why are you here then?'. I felt totally ignored in what I wanted my own fitness journey to be. I left quite quickly after. For a company that labels itself to be the world leading personal trainers, I think this is appalling behaviour. I will admit they are perhaps world experts at weight loss, but this is not how I would expect any personal trainer to behave, especially one that charges so much!

Fantastic experience: What an incredible fitness journey the last 10 months has been. It has been an absolute pleasure to be surrounded by amazing, positive, inspirational, like-minded people, training / eating well and getting the most out of every day. Massive thank you to the brilliant Adam Bailey for all his advice, support, encouragement and friendship throughout. Hats off to him, it’s been a real team effort and I’ve loved every minute. Adam has helped me over achieve what I thought was possible and I highly recommend him, I couldn’t imagine reaching my fitness goals without him now. Adam has been on hand 24/7 not only in the gym during personal training sessions but also to offer nutrition and lifestyle advice. I never imagined it possible when I signed up for UP that 8 months later I would appear in the online edition of Men’s Health magazine. Huge thanks and acknowledgment to all at Ultimate Performance Manchester for creating such a positive, fun and inclusive atmosphere to train in. I also got involved with the Ultimate Performance Tough Mudder team! The impact the training / lifestyle choices has made to my health both physically and mentally has been life changing. For the first 6 months, I trained 3 times a week, injury free, helped me lose 24.6kg (3.8 stone) and bring my BF% from 28.2% to 11.6%. I’m delighted to write the review to 1/ document the change and encourage continued improvement and 2/ hopefully someone sees it who is in two minds whether to start training and doesn’t know where / how to begin. I can honestly say that the hardest part was not taking the leap sooner. If I can do it, so can you! You will get fitter, stronger, happier and love every minute! Go for it!

Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience! I started my journey very nervous about setting foot inside a gym after a long break and extremely self conscious about the weight I’d gained. 18 weeks later and I’ve lost 13 kilos and reduced by body fat to 16%. My whole attitude to exercise has been transformed and I’ve got a ridiculous amount of energy. Now instead of trying to squeeze in the odd bit of activity I’m looking for every opportunity I can to include exercise into my day. I looked forward to every single session with Lisa, who is a fantastically supportive and intuitive trainer. She kept everything simple for me at the start while I gained confidence and made every session interesting and fun despite the hard work involved. I wholeheartedly recommend UP, it’s been the best thing I’ve done for myself in years and am very grateful to Lisa and the rest of the team at UP.

Fantastic experience: UP has not only changed my life, I feel like it has saved my life. When I joined I was at rock bottom with my mental health feeling very low and my physical health was extremely poor. My PT Connor has spent time really getting to know me and understand me and my triggers. Connor’s attention to detail to make sure I get the best from my transformation has been amazing. I’ve had tough days and days where I have blasted it and Connor has always been there to support me. Best thing I ever did was stepping into UP! I’m seven weeks in and I’m feeling fit, strong, healthy and super happy! This is just the beginning for me……

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing, life long changing transformation and experience with UP. My trainer Tom has got me to lift weights I never thought I could, as well as getting me to my goal size. The whole community is extremely welcoming, I highly recommend them to anyone at any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I joined UP Manchester in Oct 2021. I can say with certainty it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’ve lost over 30kg and am in the best shape I’ve ever been. My trainer Noel has been supportive and his expertise in knowing how to get the best out of me and knowing when to push me to make sure I reach my goals. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I’d get fleeting weeks or months of motivation but that would always wear off. This has given me the consistency I so badly needed. And I can’t say I’ve regretted one second of signing up with UP If you’re sat there contemplating signing up I would highly recommend booking a consultation. Most people feel intimidated going into an environment where they think they will be judged for their level of fitness or their weight. But the whole UP team are so welcoming and friendly. I guarantee you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend UP enough. I decided to join to get myself back on track with my training and eating as I had gained around 2stone over the last few years due to a busy work schedule and covid. I had previously competed in fitness physique so knew what was required but couldn’t seem to get myself back on track. Tom Picton and the team at UP Manchester have been great, their knowledge is second to none when it comes to training and diet. The whole team make you feel welcome and motivate you to achieve your goals whatever they may be. You genuinely feel part of a team. Tom has pushed me to failure on many occasions which is exactly what I needed and they explain how to create good form during each exercise. I’ve currently lost a stone in 7 weeks and look forward to reaching my goals over the coming weeks. My confidence has improved again and I can see big changes in my physique. I would genuinely recommend Tom and UP for a great experience whilst achieving your goals.

Fantastic experience: UP has been on my radar for a few years now and each summer after coming back from holiday I have looked it up and decided that I wasn't able to commit (45-mile round trip - 3 hours out of my day). Hitting 61 this year training every day but with no improvement I decided I needed to enrol. I had an assessment with Steve the Gym Manager, and he paired me with Connor which was a great choice. I'm 7 weeks in and had a 6kg weight loss so far, Connor takes photos and measurements every 2 weeks, and I can see my body shape changing - I never considered myself overweight but had stubborn fat. My food has been refined as we've gone along and the UP Transform plan is working, I'm now the lightest I have been in over 4 years in a small space of time. Connor has great attention to detail, and leaves no room for me taking it easy, but that's why I'm here. Initial sign-up was 36 Sessions and will be continuing my journey with UP and Connor.

Fantastic experience: I am immensely grateful for my trainer, Adam Bailey. Since day one, he has transformed not only my physique but also my perspective on training. Before working with Adam, I had been training alone for years and had hit a plateau. My workouts became difficult, my motivation waned, and I wasn't sure how to progress physically. Despite having a good foundation, I hadn't achieved the lean build or significant strength gains I desired over the past decade. From the beginning, Adam's warm welcome and constant encouragement were priceless. He paid meticulous attention to every aspect of the process, taking the time to understand my history and help me set goals (something I hadn't done before joining). He guided me through the necessary lifestyle changes with unwavering support - sleep, training, sleep, water, steps, stress, Adam was there to help navigate it all! Now, training is something I genuinely enjoy, far more than I ever thought possible. Eating healthily has become satisfying (I was actually full whilst dropping body fat), and my confidence, especially when shirtless, has soared. Initially, I signed up for a 12-week package with a 3-week break abroad, but the experience has been so rewarding that I've decided to continue building on the strong foundation we've established. Adam, you are truly exceptional, and the knowledge you've shared with me is invaluable. I am incredibly grateful for taking the leap and signing up! I can't recommend ultimate performance (Manchester) enough.

Fantastic experience: I came to UP because I had concerns about my BMI, I wanted to improve my health, and fitness. I knew I needed to make changes to accomplish my goals, and after my consultation with trainer Noel, I'm now 8 weeks into my transformation program at UP, and it has become clear that I made the right choice. Thanks to Noel's experience and knowledge, he has been able to pass on valuable information in my training that hasn't just helped me but also my wife when we train together. I started at 90kg, and now I weigh around 78kg (-12kg loss). I can now fit into clothes that I thought I would need to throw away. This has exceeded all my expectations, and I still have 4 weeks to go. You will not get this level of experience, attention, or knowledge anywhere else. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to the next 4 weeks.

Fantastic experience: When I was looking for a gym to join I wanted to improve my physique and build the confidence and knowledge to be able to keep improving in the future, with no prior experience in fitness/gym culture I was hesitant when joining UP, believing the results shown were too good to be true and worried it wasn't worth the money however less than 8 weeks into my transformation I am already seeing results I can confidently say no other service/gym could provide. The gym and staff are all very welcoming and comfortable allowing people who are self conscious about gyms to feel very comfortable. When starting in the gym with no knowledge at all, it was daunting to begin with however my Trainer Isobel has adapted to me to help me learn. With each dumbbell press and rep she encourages me and pushes me to work harder and is as excited as I am with each goal. Isobel`s provided a personal/friendly and extremely professional journey for my transformation that I am so grateful for. Outside of the gym I am a more confident/ healthier and happier person with people I know noticing and commenting on these benefits as well. I can still have a normal/active social life with Isobel advising me with any questions like what to eat on a meal out. My time so far with UP has changed my life at the moment and for the future. Because of these reasons/results so I am looking to extend my membership.

Fantastic experience: Hi, I joined UP Manchester in December month last year and I found it pretty effective. However this review is dedicated to my PT Stephen Jones at UP Manchester. I am grateful to him and owe my fitness progress on fat loss to him, I found he is professional yet kind, patient and understanding. His encouragement has given me the confidence that I needed to stick to my diet and training in this program. He was always there to support and guide me and very much reachable on cellphone. After ten weeks I am happy with my progress as body fat reduced from 24% to 12% and I feel assured that with his continued training guidance and diet program I would be able to achieve my goal to build great muscle mass and a perfect beach body. Cant wait to begin next phase in the journey to boost muscles (bulking). HUGE thanks to you Steve for everything!! Wish you great in your future.

Fantastic experience: If you’re thinking of joining UP, go for it. I had a great experience and achieved what I thought wasn’t possible. I learned how to train effectively in just 3 hours a week and learned so much about nutrition and what and how much I should be eating. Steve J was my trainer and he was super committed to helping me reach my goals throughout. Highly recommend the investment, knowing I had spent the money made me stick to it more than I have with other attempts to get fit. You won’t believe how much stronger you’ll feel after a few weeks!

Fantastic experience: One of the best investments of my life, for sure. My trainer, Juris, has helped me to transform into the best shape of my life. His direct demeanour translated to clearly understandable advice, whilst putting me through some seriously tough and highly rewarding training sessions. His flexibility towards food and training made it clear he was paying sincere attention to my thoughts and feedback. Coming out of these sessions I felt fantastic, and the return on investment is almost immediately notable. My mindset towards training intensity has changed completely! I would strongly recommend Ultimate Performance for anybody who is genuinely serious about not only changing their body composition, but also those who are dedicated to changing the relationship they have with nutrition. I feel confident I can walk away with a long-term, sustainable approach to diet, exercise and discipline. Thanks to all of the team, and especially Juris, for such a killer atmosphere in the gym and a very rewarding journey!!

Fantastic experience: Quite simply, an amazing experience at UP Manchester. My trainer, Tom Picton, has been first class throughout. I have never lifted weights in my life but, under his excellent and professional guidance, I have significantly increased my body strength, lost a huge amount of weight (which I never thought possible) and gained a far better understanding of nutrition and its effects on the body. The gym is welcoming and friendly. It is expertly managed by Steve Chambers. I have no hesitation in recommending this place to others motivated to make big changes in their lives.

Fantastic experience: A great decision! I joined UP in April and 16 weeks later I am 16kg down and feeling stronger than I have in a long time. For the past few years I had travelled a lot with work and had let my health and fitness suffer as I struggled to get any routine and consistency in my diet and training. The support I’ve received from UP and my trainer, Connor Walker, has really shifted my mindset to try to improve everyday with focus on sleep, steps and tracking my diet. I signed up for 12 weeks initially but continued for another 12 and am considering carrying on beyond that as I’m genuinely enjoying the training and the visible progress that I’m making. It is a lot of money, but I absolutely don’t regret it as I’m on the way to achieving the results that I hoped for. Thanks UP!!

Fantastic experience: My trainer is Lisa Patel and I just have great things to say about her! I really recommend her. She’s fun, supportive, very knowledgeable and most important she kept me motivated even when my body was not showing the results we wanted. My experience with UP has been very positive, Ive lost 13kg during the programme I’ve joined and I achieve the goal I wanted. It is an investment as it’s not cheap but it was worth it. All the UP team is lovely and kind. There is a nice atmosphere at the gym which makes it welcoming and enjoyable to train there.
