I can't say enough good things about Alison…read more For years I worked out in gyms and never lost any weight or gained any muscle. Then, I came across Alison's ad, hired her and have been working out with her since April of 2014. Since I had an old ankle injury, she designed a program just for me with this in mind until we could build up the strength in that ankle. Now I can do things I never could after my ankle injury 7 years ago! If that weren't enough, she helped me lose 10 kg. in just 4 months AND she makes exercising fun and although I've been athletic my whole life, I never enjoyed working out until now. She even got me addicted to lifting weights and doing weight bearing exercises. She designed an eating plan for me which changes periodically depending on my progress and she taught me to eat healthy when I thought I couldn't eat any healthier. Did I mention her supportive yet firm training style? all of this and a wonderful personality to boot. I look forward to spending time with her each and every week. She's really changed my life for the better.

Ik ben 17 jaar lid bij David Lloyd en heb nu het gevoel dat ik word opgelicht door hun. Vanwege…read moreverbouwing heb ik tijdelijk mijn lidmaatschap bevroren en na de verbouwing zou deze weer geactiveerd worden als platinum member. Nu word ik plotseling als nieuw lid opgevoerd met een duurder abonnement (157 euro) en blijkt de verbouwing van de spa nog helemaal niet afgerond te zijn. De communicatie en de klacht afhandeling is ook erg slecht, zeker voor een trouwe member. Door het management wordt niet tot heel slecht gereageerd en gehandeld. Door dit alles heb ik nu mijn lidmaatschap opgezegd. Na lezen van de andere reviews zal ik goed in de gaten houden dat mijn betalingen ook stoppen. Heel jammer van de slechte organisatie en slecht management bij David Lloyd Amsterdam, ik heb hier altijd met veel plezier gezeten. Krisztina Makula

Terrific experience at UP so far. We just started shifting back to the gym after outdoor workouts…read more In 10 weeks I've lost about 10% body fat. But more importantly, I've been feeling good in my body again - more energetic, stronger, mobile, confident. The training team really looks after all the little details and you can literally see the improvement day by day. I've done lots of training programs previously and ended up with little results or injuries; the program at UP is a proven approach and it's awesome to see such rapid change. I never thought a six pack would be something I'd achieve but in fact its just a few weeks away!

From the owner: Hailed by Men's Fitness magazine as the 'world's leading personal trainers', Ultimate Performance…read more(U.P.) is not your standard Amsterdam personal training operation. We don't care about being your friend - that's a bonus, that's nice to have. Our trainers don't have hyphenated careers (i.e. actors-models-dancers-trainers), their sole focus is to help clients achieve results. They all work full-time for us and don't get involved in anything else that could distract them from their overarching goal of maximising the client's return on their investment of time and money. That's why our private gyms are just for our clients. We are not for everyone. We are only for those people who want to make a commitment to changing their bodies. We get results, plain and simple. In the land of the fitness gimmick, you may not believe all our sensational before-and-afters, in which case you'll have to believe in grand conspiracies because we've literally hundreds of photos and videos to choose from - all from people who train for three weeks or more.

SportsWorld! Party time! Excellent!…read more Well, what a gym. To begin with it's built inside a beautiful old milk factory, with original bolsters, bricks and beams. On the ground floor, you enter what appears to be a restaurant. Honestly, I get the impression that people come there for a bite or a drink whether or not they are a member of the club, really tastefully done, but ions away from the juice bar counter in my gym of yore. The staff is extremely friendly, no pushy salespeople to worry about. There is a big, clean, spacious changing room digital code locking lockers, a tanning bed (if that's your bag) and a sauna. I'm really into the idea of the steam bathing and sauna-ing. I was prepared for the fact that this is Europe and it will probs be fully nude. I was ready. However, I got a bit nervous when I saw it was co-ed. I didn't know which door led to what and in brief, I lost the courage to prance around poking my head in strange places. No matter, I'm going to ask for a floorplan and a code of etiquette. Wink. One floor up there is a squash (court?), a spin room, a general workout room and a special, slightly warmed very zen yoga room. (TOOOOONS of classes). Up top you have cardio galore and weights. I believe you get a free introductory training session, as well as periodic check ins to see how you've progressed and to keep you motivated. Oh and they're open til midnight. I'm writing this as I procrastinate to get in there tonight. But I signed up for my week trial, and had zero hesitation about becoming a member, after day 1. Let's hope I have an update for you in three months with pics my new bangin bod and my ghetto booty. Wink. (Have you ever googled "Squats before and after"?)
