Fantastic experience: Good value, friendly space, thorough coaching If you’re looking for some extra help, tips, motivation to reach and exceed your fitness goals then look no further than Unique Performance Coaching. Gav’s helping me prepare for my first HYROX and he is really helping me take my fitness to the next level in preparation.

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending Unique Performance Coaching for almost a year now. He always enjoys his sessions- he works hard but has fun at the same time. Gav is knowledgeable, approachable and good with the kids. If my son has a slight injury/pain, Gav will adapt his session, giving him something else to do. If he has a big football game coming up, Gav will select appropriate challenges so that it doesn’t impact his performance. I love that they work on strengthening exercises, which help prevent sports injuries too. I would definitely recommend these sessions.

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular member of UPC since the beginning of 2023, and I Absolutely love it! Gav tailors the classes to different abilities but is always there to give you that push you need! I've seen a massive difference with both my strength/cardio and mobility since joining. Can't recommend the classes enough.

Fantastic experience: Gav’s classes are always organised, well structured and fun. He always makes time to amend exercises if needed, checks form, encourages and pushes you do your best. His knowledge is unbelievable and I know I can trust his advice. Thanks to Gav’s classes I am comfortable training alone in a gym as I have learned so much over the last few years. I’m grateful I found UPC!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with Gav for 5/6 years now and absolutely cannot recommend UPC enough. I’ve always been someone who loves throwing heavy weights around, neglecting cardio. But the strength, conditioning and flexibility elements in Gav’s workouts have helped pushed my training to another level. I’m also grateful for his expertise around injury management and rehab. I struggled with carpal tunnel for years, and through proper management and advice, it meant I could still train to my max. Every class is tailored for all levels, so whether it’s your first class or your 50th, you’ll never feel out of place!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Small group training with 1 to 1 advice. Had a few knee operations and couldn't do anything without getting pain. Gav always tailors workouts to suit my injuries. Moving and feeling 100% better

Fantastic experience: After training on my own in my garage gym for a year I knew I needed a push to improve my overall strength and fitness. Having trained with Gav in the past I knew he'd deliver exactly what I needed. Gav has experience of working with athletes across several disciplines as well as people like me who just want to keep fit, so he is very knowledgeable and knows how to get the best out of you. I'm so pleased I made the decision to start training at UPC.

Fantastic experience: Starting my son’s journey into the world of strength and conditioning to support his football journey was a little scary! I did a lot of research and listened to “word of mouth” and Gav’s name and his Business came out strong! It has not disappointed us! Gav is extremely motivated so motivating others is what he does best! My son Max comes out of every session buzzing, more confident and focused! Ive seen a positive side to Max in his own fitness journey, he is now taking ownership more of his lifestyle choices and knows when his body needs rest or needs certain food groups! At 13 his body is developing every day and since attending UP coaching max has more strength as a footballer, more flexibility and most importantly more focus on himself! Thanks Gav! I know he is in safe hands!

Fantastic experience: The sessions I had with UP Coaching were second to none. My outcomes were always placed at the heart of the work we did with the intention of not only being better now but ensuring I developed habits to be better long term! Could not recommend these sessions enough.

Fantastic experience: Joined the online program back in March and I can't fault it. Love how the programing changes each month to focus on different things. Plenty of scaling options for all abilities at a price that anyone can afford. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: The knowledge, experience and value of Gav and the team at Unique Performance Coaching is unrivalled. I have worked with Gav remotely for a good while and the content, layout and offer of the app provide a super personal and structured approach to training, no matter what the individuals level or ability is. Would recommend Gav and the team to everyone, from the weekend warrior who needs some support to get started on their journey, to the seasoned atthlete that is looking for that extra 1%.

Fantastic experience: Trained with Gav at a previous gym & have made the move over to him permanently. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed, he's amazing at what he does. Everyone who knows him speaks highly of him and his knowledge of how to help & progress. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Been training at UPC with Gav for a number of months now. Fantastic facilities, great range of classes as well as really knowledgable 1-1 sessions available which help you achieve your goals. Would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: One of the best Gyms I’ve been to. The professionalism is second to none. The first session I was shown a detailed presentation about what Unique Performance Coaching would offer me and how to build on my fitness and strength. The classes have a maximum number of spaces which means Gav can have eyes on you at all times to correct any positioning and talk through any concerns. This man knows his stuff and the results speak for themselves. I absolutely love it, everyone is so friendly which makes you feel comfortable and at ease.

Fantastic experience: Me and my partner both train with Gav on a regular basis. Can’t praise him enough for the effort and time he dedicates to the classes. I was nervous to join at first as I’m not very confident in group classes but Gav made me feel so welcome and will always help me if I ever struggle with a workout or need to scale back the movements. As for my partner he loves a challenge so the way the workouts can be levelled from beginner to advanced really makes him push to try and get better and stronger everyday. I would strongly recommend UPC to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness and join a wholesome community of members who are just all round good people.

Fantastic experience: I started with Gav this week and have done 3 sessions so far and already I can feel not on the physical but also mental benefits from the sessions. Gav has been top class with me, helping with form during sets and also really pushing me in the conditioning which means I get everything out of the session. His craic needs a bit improvement however I would fully recommend to anyone wanting to get a massive boost fitness wise and also feel a real boost mentally!

Fantastic experience: I have given 5⭐️, as upc has helped me over come anxiety entering a gym, and has made me realise I can do it!!! Brilliant group of people and fantastic coaches. Thank you guys x

He planned every step of the recovery & set regular challenges that pushed Devon but that he would also enjoy. All equipment is of a high standard & set out to be spacious for every activity. I can’t thank him enough & Devon will continue his strength & conditioning at unique in the future.

Fantastic experience: Started with the lads at UPC around 2 months or so ago after hearing good things and following their Instagram. I was really interested in the sort of training they do and I can say I've never enjoyed training as much as I am at the minute. Can't help appreciate the time and effort that goes into the sessions for our benefit and overall well-being. A great atmosphere, full of like-minded people who are there to get things done another plus for me are the panoramic views of the sea front, especially on the AM class when the sun is rising! Sets your day up perfectly, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Trained here for two years when the set up was part of GAS. Gav and John are outstanding. Had a long standing tendonitis issue which stopped me running for 18 months, did regular s and c here and loads of pre workout advice and I've done two x GNR since. Attitude, commitment and knowledge second to none from both lads. I actually would go as far as to say I love what they did for me. If you want quality this is where it is!

Fantastic experience: Training with Gav and Jon I was able to complete my first ever GNR in 1 hr 36. I lost a lot of weight, built muscle and felt extremely good mentally and physically. They are brilliant at what they do and I couldn’t thank them enough

Fantastic experience: Gav has been great in supporting me with my nutrition over the last few weeks. He regularly checks in to ensure I stay motivated and keep on track with my diet to achieve my goals.

The coaches are so supportive and approachable, they are always on hand to help / check in. I feel so much fitter, healthier and mentally well since starting this programming

Fantastic experience: Facilities,Members and Coaches are top class! Coaches always on hand to help you and give you advice when needed in and out of the gym. Best thing I’ve done was join UPC.
