5 foot six, average build female here. This gym is amazing. I signed up with UP because I knew the company was known to get good results (I had previously been to a London branch years ago for aesthetic goals for my sisters wedding) and this time I had a fitness/strength goal in mind. I'm a ski instructor and do a lot of ski racing and wanted to level up my game off snow before the race season started -- Ryan and the UP Amsterdam team helped facilitate that. We had a tight time frame, around 8/9 weeks to work and I had a lot of business travel booked in between so really every session was intense. But I also had tons of support outside of sessions also in case I had questions or needed advice of what to eat on the road to keep me steady towards the goal (So if you're worried about a busy schedule, I can say from experience that the team will take care of you)! Facilities wise they have all the equipment you need and it is organised. The changing rooms have lockers with digital locks and towels and soap for showering. It's so close to the centre of town so it's really ideal for someone who's busy and is in and out of the city a lot. Every trainer is friendly, so it doesn't really feel like you only have one trainer. When you come in you feel like you're a part of a big happy *healthy* team. Cam, Damien, Ben, Amir, were always up for a laugh or a friendly chat. I personally got great results. Frankly, I came in just to get stronger for my season...and I ended up also getting really lean and hitting a weight I hadn't been since college...I went from 62kg to 56kg in about 9 weeks, and honestly, the aesthetic gain was such a bonus to be able get both results in such a short time. My strength progressed loads and I was feeling really good by the end of my time at UP. If you're debating between this gym and another for PT just know that there's a reason this place has got 5*! Can also recommend the group classes - I only tried them twice (you get to go to them once a week with your PT sessions package...which is a huge bonus) but they were awesome. Amir pushes you to the limit!! My only regret I have is that I had to leave to head off to go do what I came to Europe to do, ski! But thanks to these guys I feel like this season is going to be the best one yet. read more

So you wake up one day and you look in the mirror and you dislike what you see. Then you go on google and start looking for some help - you stumble on 5/5* reviews for literally hundreds of them and you think it's too good to be true? Wrong! UP Amsterdam and especially Gio has taken me from hiding in oversized clothing to rocking some shorts in less than 2 months. It's hard work, takes commitment from your side but they will make sure you get the information, guide your nutrition and help you stick to the plan no matter what life throws at you. Gio is hands down amazing, listened to my concerns and goals, knows my lifestyle through and through by this point and can tailor everything from carb intake to the intensity of the workout (my tank is empty after each one of those!) to what's happening in my life day to day, and even how well I slept. Always pushing to do better, tiniest form changes change so much, things are finally "clicking" for me - I am 2/3 months into the 12 week program, and I literally could not be happier! If you have any second thoughts - don't - pull the plug and go talk to the awesome ladies and gents in UP. Best investment in yourself you can make. read more

If you are serious about how well your body can transform with proper exercise, nutrition and rest , you got to be here. UP Fitness is the Mecca of Transformations. Personal trainers here are very professional and they are 24*7 available to monitor your diet and progress through out your journey. The only thing you need to do is be honest and disciplined. I'm a vegan and i have dietary limitations in vegan and also a victim on super insomnia. I started to train with Ben Stew and was very honest about my problems. He came up with a workout plan and nutrition tailored to my dietary needs which help me to receive an amazing body within 4 weeks of time. So i would say the excuses of vegan cannot build muscle quickly is a myth. Not only that Ben helped to plan my workouts when i'm travelling or outdoors which helped my transformation process faster. Especially during this pandemic Ben was also providing his guidance on health and nutrition via online sessions and whatspp which helped me to stay fit. I consider UP an investment of life time that will definitely change your perception on fitness and lifestyle. Good luck with all of your transformation goals and read more

Since I've started training with UP I've been feeling more energetic and more in tune with my body. I have lost over 16kgs in a short amount of time and have gained a lot of muscle mass. My endurance went up and my asthma issues are nearly gone. In total I feel way more healthy and fit and I like what I see in the mirror again. My trainer Ryan has been a great help, coach and support in my journey at UP. He pays a great deal of attention to my form and execution, and pushes me to go further beyond what I thought possible. It is real teamwork and he makes every training session a fun (and challenging!) experience. The diet is very doable and taught me that eating healthy doesn't have to be hard. Moderation and persistence is key. UP listens to their clients wishes, is very flexible in training hours, and the gym is clean, motivating and never crowded. The fact that all trainers know my name shows what 'personal' training is all about: they all know who I am and all follow my progress. I am very happy with training at UP and I can recommend it to anyone. It takes dedication but the promises are true: maximum results in minimum time! read more

My experience training with UP has been fabulous and I can only say to anyone still contemplating - "Just signing-up & that decision is probably the toughest hurdle you need to pass in the journey". My experience - After having constantly tried many different attempts over the years, I was 'yet again' looking for something transformational & wholistic and that would enable me to enjoy the journey as well as get fit & this time for the long term. And that's exactly what UP is helping me do & more. My trainer (Gio) is the best! and he's there to watch my progress, guide me & aswell push me every step of the way. It's tough sometimes, its a stretch & also eye opening in some ways. All in all, very doable thanks to the amazing UP trainers (really)! And when you start seeing the results creeping in (not just weight drop, but also fat%, inch loss, toxin levels etc.), you can only be thinking - "why didn't I join them earlier?". So yes UP is really expensive, but it's the best investment you can make, and it's towards yourself, & they ensure it's absolutely worth it! read more

Just been 7 weeks in this fitness program with UP - I really think i made one of the best decisions of my life Personalised gym/strength training techniques coupled with closely monitored/guided nutrition support and motivation has already produced phenomenal results in a short span of time - Extremely happy to have already lost close to 9kgs in 7 weeks - which i wouldnt have achieved in even 6 months anywhere else or by myself Lucky to be training with Marc Croix my PT - who's meticulous approach, indepth physio knowledge and strong commitment to achieve the goals we set in the beginning is incredible. I have already learned a lot about training and nutrition and this disciplined approach has shown me the way to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Enrolling with UP has been way more rewarding in every way than I had anticipated. Rigorous workouts, progress check-ins, nutrition plans and plugging any gaps by being in touch with a trainer at all times makes this holistic training experience an exceptional one. UP is a "no-brainer" - Just go for it !! read more

I came into the gym on October 6th for my first session, with the goal of being fitter and bigger. I never really trained before, so I knew it would be hard but to be honest I didn't imagine it would be that hard! The toughest part for me is the diet and being careful about what I eat all the time. But 9 weeks into my 12 weeks program, I can see the results: I'm leaner, in better shape, and I'm starting to get bigger. My trainer is tough, but he knows what he's doing, and adapting my workouts as needed. He's also attentive and checks in every day with advice and encouragement, which is why I came to a gym with personal trainers as I needed that push to go through that transformation. The atmosphere in the gym is great, everyone is friendly and you feel part of a community. You don't come here to chill: it's TOUGH (I know I said it before) but you get what you put in! I can only recommend based on my experience! read more

This is a truly unique place where you will definitely transform and reach your goals. I would recommend UP to everyone who wants to change. Trainers are dedicated and will provide you with every instruction and all the support needed. They will provide you with very specific plan, exercises tailored to you, track your progress, control your meal, suggest something, restrict a lot of things. In the end, it works. Just give 100% of yourself to it. It is a place where old you will 'die' and new you will be reborn with new physique, mentality, ...: someone who you always wished to become. I would like to thank my trainer, Cece. She is the best supporter, and big motivational speaker. She can motivate you to finish the set and do additional reps, when you thought you are 'dead' in the middle of the set. Definitely recommend her to everybody. read more

Improving health was a "new entry" on my to-do list this year. I was always active and doing endurance sports for the last 15+ years ... till I got injured 5 years ago. Since then I struggled with hip and lower back pain and nothing really helped + kilos started piling up. That's how I came across UP Amsterdam. UP has all you need and much more. The difference with other gyms is multifold: is in their people, their experience, attitude, and process. My PT, Giovanni has a great personality, lots of experience is tremendously focused, and takes all the time to make the process clear. It's a great pleasure working with him. After only 6 weeks in, I already see great progress, the pain is gone, so are 6 kilos and I am back to running pain-free. I can't be any happier. If you're doubting whether to start or not ... don't hesitate. Cheers UP! read more

This gym is a magical place! When i first went there i felt overwhelmed; all those big fitness machines, heavy workout-weights and trainers that look like Roman statues. From feeling overwhelmed i went to feeling powerfull, confident and actually looking forward to my next visits. I lost fat and fear of gyms and turned it into muscles and loads of confidence. I didn't do it alone; the trainers are the platinum-elite in the business. Full of knowledge, dedication and by your side all the time. My trainer Gio not only looks like a Roman statue; he deserves a statue! He set me on the right path towards being strong and motivated. In my opinion the best trainer in the world and beyond the milky way. Best decision i ever made was going inside this place where magic happens. read more

This is by far the best personal training experience I've come across. The transformation goals UP helps you achieve isn't just about working out, losing weight or gaining muscle. It's about adopting the right mindset and laying the foundations (physically and mentally) for a healthy lifestyle. This is how UP is better than all the rest of the gyms and personal training studios.. and it works! All you need to put in is the willingness and effort to change your life! Also, the facilities are state of the art and the gym is equipped with anything that you can wish for and more. Obviously my growth would not have been possible without the help of the most dedicated and supportive trainer ever, Giovanni (Amsterdam). read more

I've been training at Up fitness for almost 4 months and I couldn't be happier ! Sigrid is a well deep rounded coach with the knowledge of the anatomy/dietary to use in your training! She pushes you where you need to be pushed finding your edge and supports and lifts you up when you're down and out. I've lost 11 kg and feel tremendously strong. As a woman trainer Sigrid has that extra knowledge and experience that we as women can struggle with. I highly recommend her! Studio is clean and all of the equipment is there. Everyone is motivated and moving in the same direction. I intended to do three months but decided to make it a long term training to keep a strong body and mind. read more

I have been training at UP for about 3 months and I couldn´t feel happier. The results and progress are impressive, as well as the support given from the trainers. When you train at UP you feel very supported and motivated to become the better version of yourself not only regarding the physical appearance but also your health and methodology. So far the process is being extremely rewarding, especially after trying so many others gyms, trainers, diets that never worked out. The gym is super nice, calm, clean and the vibe makes you feel very comfortable even when you are facing hard challenges. I cannot recommend more UP, I am very very happy and keen to continue my journey!! read more

I started here based on multiple recommendations from my friends. Not even for a day was I disappointed with the progress made. I had big goals but achieved better results than what I had hoped for. (lost 12% body fat in less than 12 weeks) All credit to my trainer Damian, who made the program fun and challenging, that even early-morning cold-weather didn't stop me from pursuing my goals. His attention to detail and constant monitoring of my progress played a huge role in my transformation. He is always available to answer any of the questions I had. The gym has very good facilities. It is especially very good for people working out before and after office hours read more

Ultimate Performance has been a unique experience that I will always remember as the inflection point in a moment that I didn't know how to finally head towards a good mental health and well being. Sigrid is an extraordinary trainer, as tough as it should be, she is being pushing me in the good and bad moments. After 3 months at UP, I feel well prepared to train by myself and follow a healthy diet knowing the exact foods that helps my body to perform at my best. I honestly never felt so good with the incredible results that some training hours per week and a controlled diet could do to my body and mental health. read more

I have been working out with a UP trainer Gio for about 3 months and that changed so much. The amazing progress I have so far made me not only happy with the way I look but also made me feel strong. Gio has been so supportive and caring from 1st second. So thankful that he pushes me to become my better self and so thankful that he believes in me! The gym it's self is very nice, super clean (which is very important), very comfortable atmosphere, everyone is very friendly, not crowded, and everyone is giving their 200% which creates a really nice atmosphere. Can not stress enough how happy I am being with UP!!! read more

During the pandemic, I did my fair bit of eating. Towards the end of last year when I was looking for a gym that could help me gain fitness, I came across UP fitness and signed up. It was quite a ride, I dropped from 30% to 13% body fat for the first time in my life probably. The journey taught me about food - how to eat clean, healthy and balanced. About discipline and working out - I hated going to the gym before but now I find working out easy and even energising. Besides the great results, it is the learnings on food, exercise and discipline that I have found value in and have integrated into my life. read more

My personal trainer is Giovanni, he is a very experienced, professional and passionate top personal trainer working at the gym of UP Amsterdam. The personal trainers in UP Amsterdam are all professionals and very skilled and really friendly. After a personal conversation about your goals, they will write a personal training schedule and nutrition plan for you. And that works! The short-term results are astonishing. What is also very pleasant are the expert advice and training techniques and you can always contact them with all your questions. I can recommend training with them to everyone! read more

I've always found it challenging to get fit and lose weight, I signed up at UP Amsterdam in order to turn things around. After an introductory session to decide on my targets, I took the plunge and decided to go full force. I haven't regretted it one moment. In the first 10 weeks I lost 15 kilos and more importantly, I feel healthier and fitter than I have for a long time. Since then I've gone on to lower my body fat percentage from around 40 to 13.7%. The staff are super dedicated and professional, and are great at motivating me to get more out of myself. Highly recommended! read more
