I came from a different gym offering transformations nearby and it was a disappointing experience, but from day one my experience at UP has been great, my only regret is not having joined UP earlier, I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to invest in themselves and achieve a healthy lifestyle. The program has given me exactly what I was missing at my last gym—structure, incredible support, and the right knowledge to really progress my training and work towards weight loss goals.

The level of support both on and off the gym floor has been incomparable to anything I have experienced before. I feel confident and supported as I train. UP is the complete package, and it is now hard to imagine myself training anywhere else. As many of the reviews here have stated, my only regret is not doing this sooner. The results have been incredible. I am in the best shape of my life.

I have spent years trying to fix my diet and get in shape, and nothing has worked for me until I found this. They take a complete view of everything that might get in the way of achieving your goals and are absolutely focussed on getting there. What has really surprised me is how achievable this has all been in a short timescale. My gym sessions are fun and challenging without being daunting and you feel supported at all times.

Having slipped into bad habits, I needed to shake things up. Building exercise into my routine, eating cleaner and losing weight was something I thought about multiple times a week but I never actually got around to. 5 months after starting with UP, I have lost A LOT of weight but more importantly I feel stronger, I have space in the week just for me AND I am having fun along the way.

I’ve had PTs in the past but UP has made me rethink what my past training sessions could have been. My trainer challenges me, keeps me accountable/helps problem solve and is an overall great guy who I don’t mind chatting with at 7am (I’m generally not a fan w chatting with anyone before 9.) I’ve already made huge progress so far in the month I’ve been there and can’t wait to see how it ends up. Also props to the general manager here who listens to your needs. Excellent facilities, great environment, nice trainers. Highly recommend.

Signing up to UP has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It really has changed my life in so many ways and re-educated me in how to prioritise the right exercise and diet. I can’t thank my trainer enough - so knowledgeable, professional, experienced, and with high emotional intelligence which I think is really important for a trainer overseeing a transformation journey. Every session is meticulous and efficient. I appreciate the 121 attention and accountability that UP provides. The proof is in the results, which I couldn’t be happier with. My only regret is that I wish I did this earlier.

I’ve been training regularly at U.P. since May 2021 which is a testament to the bespoke quality service they provide each client. My PT has helped me achieve consistency, build strength and lose fat whilst managing any injuries and external stressors along the way.

I initially joined UP St Pauls for the 36-session transformation programme and after seeing the progress I made, I have since extended my sessions. The whole team at UP St Pauls is very friendly. During the introduction, Will was very welcoming and took the time to understand my goals and explain how the plan worked. It was very clear the team at UP St Pual’s is dedicated to understanding individual goals and providing the necessary support...

If you want to massively change your physique, in my case lose weight and add muscle, UP will get you to your goal and beyond. I first came across UP in a fitness magazine 3 years ago and contacted them. However, I found that it was too expensive for me and felt I could achieve my weight loss goal using other cheaper options. After 3 years of training with a PT and not making any material dent in my weight, I finally took the plunge this March and realised that I should’ve done this 3 years ago. Signing up for UP has been the best decision (I should’ve done it 10yrs ago!)...

The UP experience truely is different from other gyms. My trainer is very client centric and has adapted his style to help me reach my full potential. It is more than just getting in shape, he has helped me build confidence in the gym, factored my cycle into how best to train (which no other trainer has ever done before), kept me accountable to my goals and has been the cheerleader I needed when it’s been really tough. Big thanks to my trainer, you’re a Legend!

So the little skeptic I am made me wonder if it I should trust the process. So a few weeks in I am beginning to see changes and others notice too. I am making progress and that is the first step. In all this I have learnt to trust my trainer, the advice is solid, the challenge constructive and I have enough faith to know I will achieve my goal. Worthwhile investment

If you want life changing results with a PT that genuinely cares about helping you achieve your goals, then UP is the place. Jester has consistently worked with me through the ups and downs of my journey at UP to help me drop down from 28% to 10% body fat. The knowledge imparted and almost 24/7 support has truly made this amazing value for long term change. 100% recommend!

Frequently asked questions

What makes Ultimate Performance St Paul’s different from other personal trainers in the City?

At Ultimate Performance St Paul’s, you don’t just get a personal trainer – you get a results-driven system led by a team of experts.

Every coach is hand-picked from the top 1% of applicants and completes 200+ hours of ongoing education each year. They are incentivised on one thing only: your progress.

We track over 50 data points weekly to guide your plan, tailor your nutrition, and ensure you're always moving forward – all within a private, professional environment designed for serious training.

While most personal trainers offer workouts, we deliver a fully managed transformation experience that gives you everything needed to achieve exceptional results – expert coaching, tailored plans, daily accountability, and a proven system where 97% of clients hit their goal.

How much does personal training at Ultimate Performance St Paul’s cost?

Everything at U.P. is tailored to you – including the price.

Your package depends on where you train, how often you train, the time of day you train, and the results you want to achieve in the timeframe you have. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through all the options and give you a clear, bespoke quote based on your goals.

Unlike typical PT offerings where you’re paying for sessions alone, with U.P. you’re investing in a fully managed transformation process – expert coaching, personalised nutrition, body composition analysis, accountability outside the gym, and measurable results.

 Do you offer a consultation before joining?

Yes. We offer a complimentary, no-obligation consultation with a member of our trainer team at our Paddington gym.

You’ll tour the facility, meet the team, and speak with an expert about your goals, lifestyle, and challenges. We’ll explain how the process works, outline realistic outcomes, and help you decide whether U.P. is the right fit – with no pressure to commit.

How long does it take to see results?

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

We track progress across 50+ metrics – from strength and body weight to sleep, stress, and progress photos – so you can clearly see what’s working. The exact timeframe depends on your starting point, training frequency, and goal, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.

Is the St Paul's gym open to the public?

No – Ultimate Performance St Paul’s is a private, appointment-only facility.

There are no general memberships and no open gym access for members of the public. You train exclusively one-to-one with your dedicated coach in by-appointment-only sessions in our private facility.

Do I need to be fit before I start training?

No. Many of our St Paul’s clients are complete beginners or come to us after long periods of inactivity, high stress, or inconsistent exercise. Your program is tailored to your starting point, and your trainer will progress you safely and effectively.

What if I travel often for work?

Many clients at St Paul’s travel frequently across Europe, the US, Dubai, or Asia. Your trainer will adapt your plan around travel, and you can continue training seamlessly at other Ultimate Performance gyms worldwide so your progress never stops.

Can I train around injuries or medical conditions?

Yes. Our trainers regularly work with clients managing a range of chronic health conditions, shoulder, knee, and back injuries, and post-surgery considerations. Your plan will be adapted to keep you training safely while still moving towards your goals.
