I originally signed up for Ultimate Performance thinking I'd only do a 12-week program. Nine months later, I'm still going strong. I've surpassed my original goal weight, lowered my body fat to healthy (nearly athletic) levels, and feel stronger, more toned, and confident. My clothes fit great, and most importantly, I've been able to stay consistent without feeling burned out or restricted. About 4-6 weeks in, it became clear this program was delivering results I hadn't experienced before, even after working with other trainers. Instead of feeling demoralized, I felt motivated and genuinely excited to show up. Working with Anton (at the new Santa Monica location) has been a huge part of that success. He has an incredible focus on form, education, and accountability, delivered in a way that feels supportive, doable, and sustainable. He's kind but firm, without the ego or machismo you often find in this space, and it's clear he and the entire team are invested in real progress, not just selling sessions. I've learned how to balance training, nutrition, and sleep, and how to fine-tune calories and macros in a way that supports my goals without feeling painfully restrictive. Ultimate Performance is professional, clean, and staffed by knowledgeable, friendly people. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's busy but willing to commit, work hard, and build true health and fitness as a lifestyle, and not a quick fix. read more

I had 8 sessions with Kaylan at the Beverly Hills location and he was helpful, careful, reliable and did a superb job of individualizing my experience with UP to meet my needs. It felt like a team approach. read more

I've been with Ultimate Performance for about a year, and I really enjoyed my experience here. As a person who is afraid of going to gym, and doesn't really enjoy workout, this is a new experience for me, and I think I made a good decision in joining the membership here. I also want to shout out to my trainer, Candace. The gym is nice, and trainer will also sanitize the equipment before you use it. Candace will give me regular checkin, and share knowledge with me about nutrition and how to have a healthy lifestyle even outside of the gym. I really appreciate how she pushed me to my limits , and I'm impressed by how much I've achieved with her and this program. Highly recommended for people who are hesitant in going to gym/new to gym but want to have a lifestyle change. read more

I've had a great experience with Ultimate Performance's training program, and working with Anton has been a huge part of my success. The program focuses on overall lifestyle (including nutrition), goal-setting, and consistency, which has helped me stay focused and committed to a comprehensive approach to body recomposition. Anton keeps me accountable, challenges me, and ensures I'm always progressing toward my goals. He's also incredibly detail-oriented when it comes to form and deeply knowledgeable about strength training, which has helped me train safely and effectively. In under seven months, I've reduced my body fat by 11% and lost 50 pounds. I highly recommend both the U.P. program and working with Anton. read more

I decided to join UP after my first two complimentary training sessions, which changed my perspective on working out. I realized that lifting weights and exercising don't have to be painful or overwhelming. From the very beginning, my trainer Irina made a positive impact by motivating me during every session and taking extra precautions due to my back issues. I had been hesitant to join UP because, in the past, I'd struggled with back pain and injuries at the gym, usually from using the wrong technique. Irina took the time to understand my history and carefully modified my exercises to ensure I used proper form, which allowed me to gradually build my strength while minimizing discomfort. Irina was also incredibly supportive outside our training sessions--always available to answer my questions and checking in with me after workouts. Her personal attention, combined with her helpful recommendations around nutrition, made a real difference in helping me achieve my goals faster. She managed to push me just the right amount, challenging me during workouts without making the process feel unpleasant. Because of Irina's care, expertise, and encouragement, I now feel stronger, more confident, and surprised by what I'm able to accomplish in the gym--including lifting weights and doing exercises I never thought were possible for me. I'm grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and genuinely caring trainer. read more

Candace is an absolute legend! If you're considering joining UP, do it! I was skeptical at first because I've worked out with other trainers or gyms, but UP/Candace absolutely delivered. From the very beginning, they're very data-driven. They ask you what your goal is and set clear expectations to help you achieve it. No quick schemes here; you put in the work and do it in a sustainable way. They were able to get me exactly to my goal by providing clear steps along the way. Candace went above and beyond by giving me ideas for groceries, snacks, and at-home workouts. She even went as far as to review the menu at a date night restaurant and provide me with tips for ordering meals. read more

I was perfectly partnered with Taylor Wideman as my coach in Brentwood. Her warm smile & beautiful personality, focus, professionalism & incredible commitment to me reaching my goals was nothing short of amazing!! She was completely there for me the entire time!! My biggest Cheerleader! Everything I learned about weight training, nutrition and myself has been completely invaluable! I am a new person and all my friends have said "I'm glowing!" Having said goodbye to 25 pounds in only 4 months was truly a dream come true! I've tried other programs and they didn't work for me. This program delivers on TRUE RESULTS and complete accountability. read more

I started working out with my trainer at Ultimate Performance in April 2024 to get my health, diet and lifestyle back on track after struggling through the bereavement period in the year after my dad died. I'm so happy with both the physical results and also with all of the skills I'll be able to take with me to use on my own in the future. Part of what makes UP unique is attention to detail; customers are matched with trainers based on goodness of fit and other criteria. For example, I wanted to work with a female trainer and that was able to be accommodated. My trainer Jenna did a fantastic job at providing me with education about both the training aspect and the nutrition, with all aspects of the program being individualized to my specific needs, mostly to accommodate for previous injuries I've had. Jenna even created a workout plan for me to complete during a vacation when I would have access to more limited gym equipment. With Jenna's support, I was able to lose 22 pounds, and I'm now in the low-normal range for body fat percentage for my age. I would not have been able to achieve this without the individualized and detail-oriented approach provided at UP. This experience has been life changing for me - the accountability of the staff and the excellent customer service provided make this organization unique. I'd recommend this program to anyone wanting to make lasting changes and develop skills that will help you to care for your body the way it deserves to be cared for. read more

UP has been amazing and truly life changing. I went from 21% body fat to 12% body fat in 13 weeks. My trainer Tyrrice has been amazing, pushing me with each and every workout and keeping tabs on me outside of the gym to make sure I stick with the diet. The time and money invested has been well spent as you cannot put a price on your health. I would highly recommend UP to anyone who is looking for a transformation that will last a lifetime. read more

I started my UP LA, Brentwood journey with my trainer Felix in August 2023 and I can now say I am a totally different person than I was 8 months ago. I will never forget the past 8 months. What it has taught me, how much stronger, more confident and proud it has made me, and the people I have met and the special relationship I built with my absolute world class trainer, Felix! I knew from research, reviews, and their track record, UP was next level when it comes to training and PT caliber but I didn't expect THIS and certainly never thought I could look anything close to the people on their results wall. That wall is powerful and impressive but intimidating at the same time. I still remember today, the exact moment, when I was sitting in the consultation room the first time and tried to look for a picture to select as my hoped outcome but they all looked so fit that I was scared to pick one as I thought I could never get there. Now that my main transformation with strict diet and high level of exercise is completed I can say, in the most humbling way, that I look as good or even better than most of the women on that wall I was scared of and secretly aspired to be. I lost 40lbs and I am as lean as I can be while still looking feminine, healthy and SO strong! My body has never looked more beautiful than today after two pregnancies and that alone is a testament to Felix and UP. I could have NEVER achieved this without Felix. My trainer has been phenomenal from day one. He has been there for me on my highs and lows. Pulled me up when I needed to get back on track and focused and supported me when life simply happened and I needed guidance and advice on how to stay on track with my diet. The daily communications and check-ins also continued when I was traveling out of town or internationally. There was no stopping of supporting getting me to the results we set for myself no matter how far I was from the UP gym or what time zone I was in. When I trained by myself during travels, Felix reviewed my videos of how I executed my exercises, in real time, so I could adjust and perform to the highest levels even without him right next to me. He was there, to review restaurant menu options, when I ate out during travels so I would pick the best options and not mess up my diet. I was absolutely astonished by the commitment from my trainer and that gives you a whole other level of motivation! As I said NEXT LEVEL of PT caliber ALL THE WAY! The training sessions at the UP gym with Felix were the most intense I ever experienced but they were the best and most fun I ever experienced as well. Felix watches me from every angle. Unless my rep is perfect it is not acceptable. The standard is so high that it makes you a perfectionist every time you step foot in that gym. He taught me so much in the gym and I LOVE going to the gym by myself now to train on my own just like the big guys do lifting their weights. No intimidation anymore of scary looking machines or heavy weight because I GOT THIS! That feeling is beyond rewarding! I always dreamed of wearing cropped tops and trust me when I say my new wardrobe now consist of 99% of exactly that! Working out in just leggings and a sports bra has become my new normal.... SAY WHAT?!?! Joining UP was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my physical and mental health as well as my confidence! My gratitude towards my trainer Felix is impossible to express in words but I will try: You are incredible! You have guided, trained and supported me to become the best version of myself. I am a new person full of energy, motivation and confidence! Thank YOU for your dedication and believing in me from the start! I am now kicking off my maintenance phase and while I am still extremely excited about what we achieved for my absolute insane body transformation I am equally excited to see what Felix has coming up for this phase. Keeping up my lean physical appearance in a healthy and manageable manner customized to me and my new lifestyle. If you have any doubt of staring your journey with UP, don't question it. IF you are committed and want to transform your mind and body GO FOR IT. You will NOT regret it! read more

If you are considering becoming a client at UP, don't think twice. I had an incredible experience from day 1 and I cannot recommend Faith enough as a personal trainer! I have been working with Faith for approximately three months now, and in that time, I have seen incredible progress--not just physically but also in my overall confidence and approach to fitness. Faith has an amazing attitude--she's incredibly supportive, motivating, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. She brings such positive energy to every session, making even the toughest workouts enjoyable. Her attention to detail is unmatched; she constantly ensures proper form, offers helpful corrections, and tailors workouts to maximize results. This is NOT one of those gyms where the trainer is looking away, distracted on his/her phone, and letting your form slip without correcting you. What I appreciate most is Faith's ability to push me just the right amount--challenging but never overwhelming. She understands that fitness isn't one-size-fits-all and takes the time to customize workouts based on individual goals. She also provides great insights on recovery and overall well-being, which made a huge difference in my progress. If you're looking for a knowledgeable professional, Faith is the one! I'm so grateful for my time training with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their fitness and health to the next level. This process was not easy, but if you're ready to make a change, UP is the place to do it. read more

I had such a fun, educational and transformative experience at UP and with Anton Nechiporuk as my coach! I joined UP because after going through some lifestyle changes such as moving from a walkable city to LA, moving in with a partner who can eat more than me, and just aging in general, I knew I needed a lifestyle shift. I've also always been intimidated by weight training and using gym equipment. UP and Anton provided me with so much hands-on support and guidance! They provide you with an app to log your calories + macros, track your progress, see your workouts, and communicate with your coach. When I needed help figuring out what to order at a restaurant, Anton was just a message away! Up and Anton taught me how to eat healthier and weight train, and I feel so empowered now to maintain my health. I did 18 sessions and lost 10 lbs and went from 25% body fat to 17%! I can't recommend UP and Anton more, truly. read more

Ask for Killian! I've been training with him for quite some time and it's been the most effective workout I've done yet. My goals are specific: Keep me safe, teach and maintain proper form & technique, and keep increasing weight load as I adapt. He does all of that and keeps me accountable to increasing what I can lift. Importantly, he is professional, friendly, and reasonable. I don't do fads diets, or don't tolerate trainers who treat staying healthy as a crash course/temporary fix with unrealistic goals. This is a permanent way of life for me and he is really supportive of that! read more

Having done personal training a number of times prior, there is no doubt that UP are the best of the best. A simple but structured approach makes it clear to follow and smash goals you never thought would be possible. The accountability and support is next level. Frankly, spending money with trainers that do not offer this support is a cost, UP is an investment. Shout out to Killian for his dedication and diligence. read more

Entering my 50s, and seeing older friends passing away and struggling with immobility, diabetes, and other health issues, I became convinced - for my sake and, moreover, for the sake and futures of my children - that I could no longer responsibly avoid making physical fitness a top priority in my life. My time is important to me, and I knew I'd need guidance to achieve results as efficiently and effectively as possible. A friend referred me to UP after completely transforming his own physical health, and I started with my trainer, Killian, at the Brentwood location, two months ago. While I was already running and trying to pay attention to my diet, he got me on a simple, straightforward program that led to a new awareness of what I eat and how it affects my body. During training sessions he relentlessly focused on form, ensuring safe progress while increasing intensity. In two months, I'm down an additional 20lbs, I look and feel better than I ever have in my life, I've increased confidence, and my kids are shocked and inspired by the changes. The gym itself is top shelf. Clean, bright, well laid out, very well-managed, and everyone (both staff and other clients) is friendly, welcoming, and supportive. The trainers are professionals who are entirely focused on their clients and their goals. UP gets my strongest recommendation for anyone who is committed to investing in their own physical fitness by working with the best partners available to achieve serious results as efficiently as possible. read more

Ultimate Performance is amazing! My trainer Taylor helped keep me at peak performance after my initial transformation and truly cares about seeing me improve. I cannot recommend this program enough. read more

Ultimate Performance has been a life changing experience, mainly due to my wonderful trainer Candace Chiu! I cannot recommend her enough. I joined UP after my husband raved about it. I was skeptical and a bit intimidated, but figured it was worth a try. After having a baby, I felt like I had lost myself and also developed pretty unhealthy habits (eating takeout, limited exercise, not prioritizing rest, etc.). I'm now about 5 months in and am SO glad that I took the leap. Initially, I thought I might be out of place as a new mom. But Candace put me at ease right away and validated by goals and concerns. I was also in the process of weaning from breastfeeding and Candace diligently researched how to tailor the program to my specific needs and constantly checked in to ensure everything made sense for me. Keeping up with the nutrition plan and protein goals sometimes felt daunting as a mom who barely had time to shower most days. But Candace was encouraging and helpful, and proactively gave me easy meal ideas. When I struggled due to my baby going through a sleep regression or getting sick, she never made me feel bad about myself and instead proposed solutions to move forward. This really prevented me from losing momentum during tough times. I would not be successful without her unwavering empathy and positive attitude - I can tell she is truly invested in my journey. I feel so much stronger than I ever have, and have developed muscles I never knew existed. Candace's attention to detail ensures that I perform the exercises properly (and also made me realize how incorrectly I have been working out my whole life!). She is so knowledgeable and is constantly finding ways to push me outside of my comfort zone (in the best way!). I discovered that I'm much stronger than I realized, and she consistently reinforces this and fosters my confidence and growth. I'm excited to continue my health journey with UP, and feel that the skills and habits I'm developing with Candace's guidance will allow me to maintain a healthy lifestyle long after UP. If you have any hesitations, I would encourage you to take the leap - you won't regret it! And if you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, diligent, caring and motivating, you really can't go wrong with Candace :) read more

I cannot express my love for this personal training company. First, I firmly believed I was a gym person with consistent exercise for more than a decade. However, one session with Todd Wooton was all it took to realize my form was all off and I needed proper strength training. Todd is the absolute best and he helped me to begin my transformation. In just 4 weeks I've lost 3% body fat. I cannot believe I didn't start sooner. If you are debating, just do it! You won't regret it! read more

Joining UP for getting healthy and in shape has been one of the best decisions of my life. I was apprehensive at first whether this is going to work out given that I had history of getting injuries while working out on my own. But that all went away pretty quick as soon as I started training with Tay. Tay has been an absolutely amazing trainer and a friend who will know your limitations and helps you work around that or overcome that. NUTRITION: When you join UP, you not only get a trainer who helps you guide in your workouts, but you also get an excellent nutritionist. I am a vegetarian and Tay provided helpful food and recipe suggestions that helped me meet my macros without compromising on calories. Each time I was feeling slightly off, Tay's recommendations on identifying probable causes and correcting my nutrition/supplements helped immediately. TECHNIQUE: What I loved also is that they focus on optimizing workouts by emphasizing proper form and technique for each exercise, which helps avoid any injuries (I have had none since I started with Tay!) and maximize gains from each rep. UP APP: One more thing that is awesome about UP is that you stay connected with your trainer in and outside of gym via their app. Tay responds almost immediately to all my bizarre questions and helps me through every situation no matter what time of the day. Their macro monitoring features in UP app are extremely simple to use and track your foods. Tay is dedicated in ensuring my success and I have nothing by gratitude for it. All the other trainers/staff of UP have also been extremely helpful and accommodating. If you are serious about getting better mentally and physically, join Ultimate Performance! read more

I have been training with Irina since February (4.5 months). It has been worth the investment because I got an incredible accountability partner for my health and well-being. Irina gave me tips and tricks for sustainable habits that have improved my overall physical and mental well-being. I've never been into weight-training before but after Ultimate Performance I can see all the benefits in my appearance and strengths. Irina also understands and has researched into what women in their 40s should be doing differently in their training vs someone in their 20s. This has made a big difference in my results. read more

I worked with Octavian at UP for about nine and a half months, from January 2024 to October 2024. During that time, Octavian helped me reach my goal of reversing a declining trend line in my health and fitness, and also got me into better shape than I have ever been. Octavian consistently showed an excellent balance of cheerful encouragement, pushing me to give the best I could, and providing knowledge and resources at the gym and outside of it. I don't know if I was always the best client, but Octavian was always the best trainer, and I couldn't have found someone better than him to work with. read more

The hype on this place has not been exaggerated. This is more than just a gym, this is the place that gives people their life back! I joined U.P. in late October of 2024 after several months of feeling down after two car accidents back to back. I committed to physical therapy, which helped but mentally my mind was in the gutter. I didn't want to get back in my car, I stopped going out and talking to people. I had lost all motivation and I was Doordashing and eating everything that brought me comfort; sweets, pizza, etc. These bad habits affected my mood, my sleeping habits and my health. Previously, I was already a person who had been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and PTSD from a prior traumatic incident so these accidents exacerbated those symptoms even further. At this point I had gained 40 pounds and my day to day consisted of feeling tired, more depressed and having brain fog. I had forgotten what it was like to feel good/normal and not tired all the time. I knew that I needed to do something about this when my friend expressed being tired of hearing me complain about my current state of affairs and not do anything about it. I never realized how unbearable one can be to others when you're in a state of misery and throwing a pity-party every day. I'm particularly not fond of these types of people and it was harsh to realize I had become one of them. That's when I took matters into my own hands. I'm not going to lie, I didn't think this place was for me after I walked in. It was very intimidating and I didn't think it was possible to accomplish what the people in all these photos had. I believed that those people must've been born special to have enough mental fortitude and stamina to accomplish such a thing. (Little did I know that in the next three months, I would would be looking at myself in the mirror being 25 pounds lighter, happier and more confident than I was when I was in my 20's!) That's where my trainer Faith Thomas comes in. She was there every step of the way to remind me that this goal could be reached, I just had to try. She believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. She was stern when she needed to be, graceful, poised, kind and extremely patient throughout the entire process. She answered all of my questions and concerns. She is very knowledgeable of all the science behind nutrition, muscle building and preventing injuries. She is quite impressive and this only proves that this place only hires the best in the business. Trainers here really do care about the people they work with. Faith was very accommodating with my prior injuries. I still had a bit of lower back pain due to the car accidents and she was very careful with me when we would work on exercises that required me to use my back and to lift weights. She always kept an eye on my form, making sure that I was doing it right at every angle, for every rep, correcting inch by inch to make sure that not only I was getting the best out of my workout but most importantly, to avoid injury. Her efforts helped me so much because after only one month with her, my back pain was almost non existent! She helped me strengthen my back and it felt like I had never been in any car accidents before! This healed me faster and dare I say, more effectively than physical therapy did. I also had a prior incident involving my pelvic area which makes it very difficult and painful for me to do particular exercises that involve the stretching of that area when using the left leg (lounges, split squats, etc). She helped me modify those particular exercises when using my left leg so that I could still target the muscle but minimize pain. This is one of the best thing that I've ever done for me. This gave me my life back. I am 33 years-old and I truly believed that it would be nearly impossible to shed no more than 5lbs. because my metabolism isn't what it used to be. Oh - did I mention that I had gallbladder removal surgery? Well, Faith was able to help get my digestion going since my body was no longer producing bile to help break down food. She put me on supplements and a calorie deficit diet where we kept track of all my macros on their cool app. I committed to sleeping 8 hours each night, drinking water and getting 10K-15K steps done everyday. This, plus strength training 3x's a week with her, helped me reach a goal that not long ago felt like it was impossible for me to reach. I've learned that this whole thing is mostly mental. The mind is powerful thing and just like the other muscles in your body, you need to train your mind in order to achieve discipline. This will lead to good habits in the long run and will eventually help you take better control of your life moving forward. If you were like me & are hesitant about this place, I'll just say this...the best version of You is ready to meet you when you're done feeling sorry for yourself. read more

I've been working with Rustan and the team at UP Brentwood for around 6 months and the results have been nothing short of amazing. I surpassed my goals in terms of weight loss, BMI loss, and muscle mass increase, but beyond that the feeling of accomplishment comes from how I look and feel. Ruston has been a fantastic trainer, blending a nice motivational style with a high level of know-how. He can explain why we're doing what we're doing, and his coaching on technique is spot-on. I gladly recommend UP for anyone who is motivated about making a change. It takes work, but you'll be well taken care of by the team at UP. And if you happen to get Rustan as your trainer, you can count yourself very fortunate indeed! read more

Working with Ben McKnight has been a great experience. Ben helped me stay on schedule and stay motivated throughout the process. Ben goes beyond simply designing workouts--though those were always challenging and effective. Instead of handing me a one-size-fits-all plan, he taught me how to make sustainable choices that fit my lifestyle after UP. What truly sets UP apart is their unwavering support. Whether I was celebrating a milestone or struggling with motivation, they were always there with encouragement, advice, and a game plan to keep me moving forward. If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, empathetic, and truly invested in your success - Ben and Ultimate Performance is the way to go. read more

My experience w/ UP transformed not just my body but my entire mindset. My trainer Anna Petrov helped me discover my strength--both physically and mentally--and I walk away from this journey stronger than ever! I am incredibly thankful for Anna's guidance and proud of the investment I made in myself. read more

I loved my experience training with Killian at UP. This place is the real deal and is head and shoulders above other gym personal trainers for strength training. Some of the first workouts were among the toughest I ever experienced. I could see and feel the transformation over 12 weeks. I highly recommend Killian and the UP experience. read more

I've been training with Killian for the past 3 months. He's a no BS trainer who pushes me every session to get a good and safe workout. I especially appreciate the attention as I do the work to ensure I don't get injured allowing me to make more gains than I have been able to do in the past. read more

Ultimate Performance is the best! All the trainers care so much about you, your form, and your goals. My trainer Eddie kicked me into shape post partum and worked with me to get into great shape. I look forward to going to the gym now because of him. He takes time to adjust and customize my workouts based previous injuries or issues I have. I cannot recommend this program enough. read more

Gavin is the best of the best. If you're ready to actually make a change, and want a partner who gives a damn, holds you accountable, pushes you to (safe) limits, he's your guy. I've transformed my physical and mental in 3 months and we are just getting started. There is no better investment than Gavin and UP. You don't need money to eat, you've eaten enough. You have no idea how good being fit feels. Stop making excuses, do it. read more

This place is life changing. I've now lost over 50 pounds in less than 5 months and still haven't adjusted myself to the person I now see in the mirror. My trainer, Tony, is extraordinary at what he does. He legitimately cares about turning you into a healthier person and giving you the tools to change your lifestyle for the long term. His knowledge about strength training, running and diet is unmatched. He goes the extra mile in every way possible (he'll be at the finish line waiting for me at the LA marathon in a couple weeks). I can't imagine ever making this kind of transformation without the help of an elite trainer. I was never one to stick to diets or any workout routine (I hated gyms), but the dedicated support system is just what I needed. My only regret is not doing this 10 years ago. read more

I signed up at UP in early November and they got me started from the waiting list right after Thanksgiving (perfect timing). I was incredibly hyped to start this program and begin my transformation. After 3 months into the program just about to finish my last session (although I may extend after my vacation) I have lost about 30 lbs. I'm in my early 40's and after covid just couldn't get out of a rut. The changes were dramatic and took lots of work, and dedication. I'm truly grateful for my trainer Alicia Reyes and the UP Team for everything they put in their process to benefit others. I actually drove from Orange County 3 times a week (ya'll need an OC location btw) and the effort was well worth it. Alicia was always supportive, patient and positive. She consistently checked up on me on the UP app at all times and was consistent about my form. Here are some notable mentions Dropped from an almost tight XXL to a loose and comfortable XL. Pretty much need to replace every item in my wardrobe. My blood pressure dropped from being unmanageable with medication to me needing to reduce my medication. I look and feel better and I'm looking forward to continuing my journey. Tips if you are going to sign up - Sign up for the Meal prep service they recommend before the training begins. They recommended me Macro plate which I started halfway through the program and it made a world of a difference. Although after my vacay I may try their paleo plan instead of the low carb plan. - The app is awesome. USE IT RELIGIOUSLY. Follow their IG page and also Nick Mitchell's page. It was very supportive. - invest in some good flat shoes. I think this deserves to be a great article from UP and could have some ad revenue / affiliate link potential. I never did this and I wish I did before attending my first class. - Be ready to be focused and dedicated to yourself. You deserve it. If your dog was sick you'd probably spend 15k on a surgery. The least you could do is invest in your own health so you can be alive to pay for your dogs surgery! Thanks again to the UP Team. Hopefully I can come back after my trip and get to that six pack transformation photo. Also a notable mention to all the team members that were never shy to say hello and offer positive words of encouragement. Alicia (my trainer), Julian, Jeffrey, Chris, Arturo, that manager that's always making sure the trainers are on point (The dolph lundrin looking guy!), and the rest of the team Thank you again Alicia and UP! read more

I have been training with Emily Schofield for four months, and she has been able to get me real results. I was 254 lbs (I'm 5'8", 54 years old) when I walked in to Ultimate Performance. The heaviest I have ever been. It shocked me to see that number on the scale. And I hated how I looked. After 4 months of hard, focused and correct work in the gym and out, I am now under 200 lbs for the first time in over 30 years. Emily has been the key that allowed me to make this kind of progress. She is extremely knowledgable about fitness and nutrition, and a perfectionist when it comes to correct training form. Which is what every decent personal fitness trainer should have. What sets her apart is that I feel like she is working to get the results with me. Really wanting them for me as much as I do. She supports me even when I am not in the gym about correct nutrition and keeping me on point. And she is as excited as I am when I hit goals. Maybe even more excited. She is truly my teammate. And it has made a huge difference in how I work in the gym, how I stay on track outside the gym, and keeping me away from the self-defeating ideas that typically keep me from sticking with it. read more

I have been going to the Brentwood location of U.P. for approximately 6 mos. and working with trainer Ben. The facility is comfortable and clean and all of the staff friendly and professional. Ben does a great job keeping me accountable and making sure we keep up with the goals we have set. I've lost 50lbs while increasing my strength and stamina over the time we've been working together. The one-on-one nature of the gym I believe keeps all of the clients comfortable and fosters the generally light, supportive and friendly feel of U.P. read more

Huge shoutout to Gerard! I couldn't ask for a better and more effective trainer/guide for me. Finding a good match is tough, especially someone who holds you accountable but keeps it the process super enjoyable, and they have it down to a T at UP. And what an incredible training gym + program UP is. The facility is sparkling, clean, with top of the line equipment. Your trainer and other trainers train there as well, so you're never lacking for inspiration. They have a convenient app which makes logging macros, sleep, water, etc. easy and holds you accountable. The results and the joy of the process speak for themselves. I lost 30+ pounds over 4 months with a tough but enjoyable training routine and food routine -- and I've learned a lot about how to be consistent with them, so I'm confident I can stick to these principles for a long time. Unfortunately moving away from LA otherwise truly would have kept going to UP as long as I could. read more

I've had many starts and stops in the gym over the years and I can now say, having worked with Ultimate Performance for 6 months, that my entire relationship with the gym AND my body has totally changed. Overall I'm stronger and more confident, both inside and outside of the gym and I've already lost almost 10% body fat which is great because I was for sure TOFI, "thin on the outside, fat on the inside." Working with the UP team has been fantastic, hats off to my trainer Sean for everything he's taught me. Beyond Sean the entire staff has been so kind, supportive and helpful. I've already committed for a year of training and can't wait to see what the future brings. Turning 40 my goal was to get into the best shape of my life, I can confidently say I'm well on my way now that I'm working with UP. read more

Life changing. Down 20 pounds in less than two months, and will continue for another two months or so to drop another 20. That will erase two decades of fat and poor eating choices. Honestly the best decision and investment I've made in myself and my health. The trainers are phenomenal, the facilities are clean and convenient. Abigail Jachera is my trainer and she is a rockstar. Super nice and super effective. I've also trained with other trainers there and they are also very friendly and good. Abigail rules and is helping me change my life. Another great aspect of their training is the tracking app and the macro and diet suggestions. They suggested MacroPlate meal deliveries and that has also been life changing. This experience no doubt has changed my outlook about working out and eating right. Once you see results so rapidly, it becomes a virtuous cycle. It truly kicks off a lifestyle change. Thank you Abigail and Ultimate Performance!!! read more

Ultimate Performance - Los Angeles - This is the screenshot of my weight drop. down 21 pounds so far. - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been training with Irina for 6 weeks now and the results have been pretty unbelievable. I came to Ultimate Performance with some pretty big goals but overall, I wanted to feel better about myself after gaining about 25 lbs under lockdown. Well we're 6 weeks into the program and I've dropped 18 lbs and gained some incredible muscle. Don't get me wrong, this process has been difficult. I've shown up to Irina grumpy, tired, and wanting to go home several times. But on each of those occasions, Irina lifts my spirits by sharing personal stories and words of affirmation. She checks on me literally every day to see how I'm feeling and sends me very tasty recipes that are really simple to make when my meal plan gets a bit boring. 6 weeks to go and I get more and more excited for what's to come. My transformation has been visible and I couldn't have done it without Irina pushing me and encouraging my success. read more

Ultimate Performance - Los Angeles - 5 Week Progress 5/20/21 - 6/24/21 - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really enjoyed my experience training with Leilani at UP in Brentwood! The entire team is professional, but Leilani was the perfect person to help me get closer to my goals. She has been flexible and helpful in adjusting workouts and diet to my lifestyle and travel, which helped me realize that I don't need to be in extreme dieting and workout mode all the time to be healthy. Her approach is holistic and sensible, which I appreciate because it can be easy to rely on artificial means to get results more quickly. I've gone to a couple trainers now in LA but only seen visible results with UP. I see it as an investment in my longer term health. read more

If you are serious about your fitness goals, look no further than UP. I'd been coming off of a long hiatus with almost no workout regimen for over a year thanks to Covid, and needed some extra motivation to ease into it again. I have 10+ year gym experience and I always created and followed my own workout programs so I wasn't expecting to learn much tbh in the beginning. Boy was I wrong. I was fortunate enough to get Julian Leano, one of the best trainers at UP and I couldn't be happier with his coaching. He came up with a custom plan tailored exactly for my goals and every workout is a blast with him. Literally my favorite time of the week that I always look forward to. I've already made significant amount of progress with building strength and muscle in specific areas of my body that I always had difficulty developing, while losing 15 lbs in less than 3 months, thanks to Julian. I am very motivated to keep it up and see what else is possible. read more
