Lee's 12-Week Transformation Success Came Down to 2 Key Things
If you're training hard, eating well, but still not seeing the results you want, it could be time to think about getting a personal trainer.
That's exactly what 44-year-old Lee did. No matter how hard he trained, he still found he was carrying excess weight, and was struggling to see results with his physique - that's when he came to Ultimate Performance.
Lee found the impact of UP's tailor-made training and nutrition plan was instant - and in just 12 weeks he achieved a stunning body transformation.
What did you find as a result of training with UP?
It was a massive education process. I used to train on my own, but now I realise that before I might not have been doing the exercises correctly and the types of exercises might not have been the best choice for my goals.
Nutrition was also an education process; knowing what to eat and when. I used to think I ate well before, but UP has changed my mind with what a healthy diet should be.
No matter how much I trained, I found I was still overweight and not getting the results, so these two things - education with nutrition and training - have really helped.
What specific benefit did you like most about your UP journey?
The coaching. I found it useful, so now I'm much more confident when I go to the gym on my own and enjoy the programmes I do on my own a lot more as I know I'm moving in the right direction.
Also, having a structured programme in which my reps and weights, body fat and measurements are constantly tracked. This helped me to see I was making progress which spurred me on even more.
It was good how when things started to slow down I had a trainer who could tweak something slightly with nutrition to keep the process moving in the right direction.

What three other benefits will you take away from your transformation journey with UP?
I'm much stronger. I lost a total of 11kgs in weight, so now I am doing chin-ups with 20kg tied to me for sets of five reps. I can trap-bar deadlift 170kg for five reps.
The confidence I now have to do these exercises on my own is massive as before I would have been scared of getting injured on exercises like these.
I now know the best way to structure my diet, when to eat protein and fats, where my carbs are best going, and also what supplements complement my diet. Confidence too - I feel I look much better now than before I started.
Would you recommend UP?
Yes definitely, because the structured training and nutrition, the way these two things are constantly monitored, and also the expertise of the staff and knowledge have given me confidence in getting to my goals.
