Kurt Heeren
Personal Trainer
Kurt worked in accounting and finance before Ultimate Performance, but his heart was never in it.
His passion lay in fitness, and he had loved the buzz of teaching group training back in college.
But he never saw it as a viable career until he saw the results and professionalism at Ultimate Performance. It convinced him to transition from finance to personal training.
“I wanted to work as a results-driven P.T. and get those types of transformations with clients.”
Gintaras Daubaras
Personal Trainer Mentor
Engineer Gintaras wanted to explore a new career in personal training – but never saw a viable option until he found Ultimate Performance.
With no client experience, the rigorous mentorship program has given him the tools, structure and accountability to become a world-class trainer.
With a secondment at London’s U.P. Mayfair, he has progressed from junior level to becoming a mentor and part of the senior leadership team at U.P. Amsterdam.
“The education I get is priceless – I would not have achieved it anywhere else.”
