Why train at Ultimate Performance Kensington?

U.P. Kensington is built for people who want results without compromise. Many of our clients live or work locally in Kensington and Notting Hill, manage demanding schedules, and value a discreet, professional service they can rely on week after week.

This is not a gym you drop into casually. It is a fully private, appointment-only personal training studio where every program is designed, delivered, and managed by an elite personal trainer. Training, nutrition, and progress tracking are all tailored around your lifestyle, whether you train early in the morning, after the school run, or during the day.

What sets U.P. Kensington apart is the level of ownership your trainer takes. Every session has a purpose. Every variable is monitored. Progress is measured, adjusted, and driven forward over time. The focus is on sustainable fat loss, strength, and long-term health, not short-term fixes or fitness trends.

Bridgette H
The support, encouragement and results are unmatched. It’s an investment in yourself and your health that’s well worth it because it’s results you can see and feel. Weight loss is a journey and having someone guide you is invaluable. I had never lifted a weight in my life before starting and now I can see myself get stronger, leaner and healthier.

Frequently asked questions

What makes U.P. different from other personal trainers in Kensington?

U.P. Kensington offers more than personal training sessions. It provides a fully managed coaching system built to deliver measurable results.

Every trainer is carefully selected, relentlessly developed, and held accountable to the highest standards. They are rewarded based on the quality of client results, not on sales made or sessions delivered like most regular personal trainers. Training, nutrition, and lifestyle factors are planned and tracked using data, ensuring decisions are deliberate and evidence-led, rather than intuitive or reactive.

Unlike commercial gyms, classes, or informal PT arrangements, U.P. delivers one-to-one coaching in a private environment with clear structure, accountability, and long-term focus.

How much does personal training at Ultimate Performance Kensington cost?

There is no one-size-fits-all price at U.P. Kensington. Everything is tailored to you.

Your investment is based on how often you train, the times you train, your goals, and the timeframe you want to achieve them in. During your consultation, we’ll explain the options available and provide a clear, tailored quote that reflects your needs.

Rather than paying for individual sessions, clients invest in a complete personal training program that includes coaching, nutrition support, accountability, and measurable outcomes.

 Do you offer a consultation before joining?

Yes. We offer a complimentary, no-obligation consultation at our Kensington gym.

You’ll have the opportunity to tour the facility, meet the team, and discuss your goals, lifestyle, and challenges with an expert. We’ll explain how the process works and what results are realistic for you, allowing you to make an informed decision without pressure.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients begin to see and feel measurable results within the first 2-4 weeks.

Progress is tracked across multiple data points, including body composition change, performance, and strength, as well as health markers like blood pressure, and waist circumference. This is so you’ll have clear evidence that your plan is working. The exact timeline depends on your starting point and consistency, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.

Is the Kensington gym open to the public?

No. U.P. Kensington operates as a private, appointment-only personal training gym.

There are no general memberships, open gym access, or group classes. Every session is delivered one-to-one to maintain focus, privacy, and consistency.

Do I need to be fit before I start training?

Not at all. Many clients begin with little or no recent training experience or are returning after a long break.

We start with a detailed assessment to understand your current ability, then build a program that progresses you safely and confidently over time.

Can I train around injuries or medical conditions?

Yes. Our trainers regularly work with clients managing injuries, long working hours, stress, or travel-heavy schedules.

Your program is adapted around your circumstances and limitations, focusing on what is safe, effective, and appropriate while still delivering meaningful progress.
