Eri’s 26kg fat loss transformation helped his confidence soar

“Part of me was sceptical. I didn’t think it was possible but I’m living proof that it is and I’m so proud.”

Eri’s confidence is through the roof all because of his 26kg transformation.

Before Ultimate Performance, 27-year-old Eri had hit a low point in his life.

Mentally he was struggling; his confidence was low and he was unhappy with his appearance. Physically, he found it hard to climb the stairs without getting out of breath.

The turning point for him was when he looked in the mirror and felt he could hardly recognise himself. That alone was motivation enough to take charge of his life and do something about it.

Now he’s 26kg lighter, his confidence is back, and he feels happy and driven every morning when he wakes up.

Here Eri explains why U.P. is so different from the PTs and commercial gyms he’d tried in the past...

How were you feeling mentally and physically before coming to Ultimate Performance?

Physically, I was in really bad shape. I could barely climb stairs without getting tired. Mentally I was even worse. I was just not confident and not happy with the way I looked. I tried not to look in the mirror often. I just felt really low.

Was that what motivated you to join U.P?

Yeah, exactly that. One day I looked in the mirror and I could barely recognise myself, and I just said, enough is enough. It’s time to get my life back on track.

Well, you certainly did that! Thinking about your time in the gym and the training sessions, what do you most enjoy about U.P?

What I enjoy most about training at U.P. is how friendly the trainers are. I mean, they're quite easy to get on with. It's not just about the workout, you talk about everything. It's about life, personal stuff, and it’s easy-going. I also enjoy the layout of the gym; it's quite nice and simple. Everything's where it needs to be. But yeah, the trainers are what I enjoy the most.

Do you think the trainers were instrumental in helping you achieve your results?

The trainers were definitely instrumental in my results. I genuinely don't think I could have done it without them. I've had personal trainers before and just knowing they’re as effective as the trainers at Ultimate Performance.

You mentioned you’ve had other personal trainers in the past so what do you think makes U.P. different to the other services?

What makes U.P. trainers different, in my opinion, is that they genuinely care. It’s not just a job for them, they’re very invested in your progress. A win for me is a win for them. The trainers at U.P. are really invested in everything from the training side to nutrition, to your lifestyle outside of the gym. So I think it’s just the dedication that the trainers here have shown throughout has been perfect.

How do you think your transformation has improved other areas of your life?

Everything's improved since I've transformed my body. I mean, of course physically that goes without saying. I feel a lot lighter. I’m a lot healthier as well, but also just mentally, my self-confidence has just shot up through the roof!

I'm edging on being a bit too confident maybe, but everything is more positive; the way I talk to people now. Even outside the gym, just at work or with my friends, I feel a lot more confident when I speak to people, and a lot happier. I wake up a lot happier than I used to be. Now I wake up with a goal in mind every day and it's just looking at that goal and that objective and it gives you a purpose in life on a day-to-day basis.

How do you feel about the results you’ve achieved?

I feel so proud with my results, genuinely. Before I joined, I looked at the results U.P. have posted on the website and a part of me was a bit sceptical. I didn’t think it was that possible, but I’m living proof it is and I’m so proud. It’s one of my best experiences.

Would you recommend U.P. to others and why?

Oh, I would absolutely recommend U.P. to anyone considering it. If there's even a slight doubt, don’t wait. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Ultimate Performance just transforms your life completely. At first, like I said, I was sceptical. I was worried about the transformation and the changes and sacrifices I’d have to make but they are all worth it.

And you see the results almost instantly. So yeah, if anyone's contemplating it, absolutely, just go for it. I'm very thankful for everything Ultimate Performance has done for me. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without U.P. and I will always be thankful. I’m definitely not going back to how I was.
