Why train at Ultimate Performance Santa Monica?

Santa Monica has no shortage of places to work out. What’s rare is a structured, one-to-one personal training approach that delivers measurable results and takes full ownership of the process.

Clients train at U.P. Santa Monica because they want clarity in a confusing fitness landscape. They want precise coaching, expert guidance, and a system that removes guesswork and produces consistent outcomes.

Our Santa Monica gym is built around this principle. It is a private, appointment-only training environment designed exclusively for one-to-one coaching. Every session has a purpose. Every plan is personalised. Progress is tracked reviewed with data.

Whether the goal is improving body composition, building strength, or supporting long-term health and longevity, clients choose U.P. Santa Monica for the same reason — a proven method, applied properly, in a focused environment where results come first.

Frequently asked questions

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

Santa Monica has no shortage of gyms, studios, and fitness classes. U.P. is different because everything is built around one-to-one coaching, structure, and measurable outcomes. Our trainers are selected and rewarded based on results, not sessions delivered.

Every program is personalised, tracked, and refined using over 50 data points, inside a private, detail-orientated environment designed to ensure you succeed.

How much does personal training at U.P. Santa Monica cost?

Pricing is tailored to you. Your investment depends on how often you train, your availability, and the outcomes you want to achieve.

During your consultation, we will walk you through the options and provide a clear, bespoke quote. This includes coaching, training, nutrition guidance, progress tracking, and ongoing accountability.

Do you offer a consultation before joining?

Yes. Every prospective client is offered a complimentary, no-obligation consultation.You will tour the Santa Monica facility, meet the team, and speak with an expert about your goals, health history, and priorities. The aim is to give you clarity so you can decide if we’re the right partner for your health and fitness.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients begin to see measurable progress within the first 2-4 weeks. Improvements in strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing often happen sooner.

Exact timelines depend on your starting point and goals, which are discussed in detail during your consultation.

Is the Santa Monica gym open to the public or members?

No. U.P. Santa Monica is a private, appointment-only facility.

There are no general memberships, classes, or open gym access. Every session is delivered one-to-one in a focused, professional environment.

Do I need to be fit before I start training?

No. Many clients are already active but lack structure, while others are returning to training after time away.

Your journey starts with a full assessment and body composition analysis so your program matches your current ability, fitness levels, and goals.

Can you train around injuries or health considerations?

Yes. Our coaches regularly work with clients managing injuries, limitations, or age-related concerns.

Training is adapted around what you can do safely, with the aim of building strength, resilience, and long-term confidence.

Is this only for weight loss?

No. In Santa Monica, many clients are focused on health, longevity, strength, and physique development rather than just dramatic weight loss.

At U.P., body composition, health, and performance are treated as connected outcomes of a well-managed process.
