Ultimate Performance Personal Trainers Los Angeles

I have been a client since 11/2022 and have worked with Abigail Jachera for the entire time. I am thoroughly impressed with the "system" that U. P.has developed for each client. Every workout is designed for each client's goals. Every set and every rep has an absolute purpose. Abigail is outstanding! She truly cares for her client and pushes the client toward their goals. She is mission driven and I would recommend her to anyone interested in improving their health. Abigail is knowledgeable in every facet of training.

Training here has definitely been a positive change in my life. There is nothing frilly about this place, which is a welcome change from the image-conscious world of Los Angeles. Everyone is very friendly and never feel judgmental or intimidating. Accountability is what sets UP, and I’ve learned so much from my time here. I hope to come back soon!

I've been working with Arturo for the past few months and his level of dedication and knowledge is amazing! He's made it a great environment for me to push and achieve progress towards my fitness and nutrition goals. Highly recommended!

I have been going to UP for a few months. It has been a great experience! I have done lots of gyms, nutrition programs, etc.before and I have to say this is a step above all. I am working with my amazing trainer Irina Nikolaeva. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer! She has the right mix of empathy, no-nonsense and always inspires me to do better. She keeps me honest about my weight loss goals, works with me around challenges and helps me plan my meals and lifestyle to help me be in better health and reach my goals. I highly recommend UP and if you can work with Irina, lucky you!

Great gym and atmosphere. Arturo is very involved and invested in his clients.highly recommended.

I've been working with Eddie Escobar since October and has lost 6kg since. I don't have any exercise or dieting habit and can only last so long because Eddie is forever patient and on my case. Highly recommend for beginners!

The best gym, trainers and whole body formula I have ever seen. Highly recommend as the science + inspirational trainers + great equipment has led to transformational results.

I just finished 27 weeks with UP and can't speak highly enough about the program and the trainers. My personal trainer, KeAndre took the time to ask questions, listen to my goals, concerns and answer my questions before we started. I had never joined any gym or done any weight lifting before and KeAndre was patient while I learned proper techniques and methods. While you train, the trainers aren't looking at their phones and they give you their undivided attention. The work doesn't stop in the gym either. You monitor your food and activity outside and that is a huge key in succeeding in this program. I felt the communication was probably the biggest driver to succeeding with UP. KeAndre asked all the right questions, and when I asked him questions he wasn't sure about, he'd do his research and get back to me the same day whether about diet, possible injuries or exercises to do outside of our sessions. All the trainers are friendly and say hello and make you feel like you are welcome. This isn't a place to go to see and be seen. This really is a results driven program where the trainers guide you to achieving your goals.

Ultimate Performance could not be more highly recommended. Not only am I in the best shape of my life in my 40s, the results speak for themselves (down nearly 40 pounds and 11% body fat), which have far exceeded what I thought was possible, even though I aimed for what I thought were far-reaching goals. This is directly attributable to the comprehensive UP Transformation program, approach, trainers, facilities, nutrition, and technology platform. All of these factors play a critical role in this obtaining positive outcomes, which will be an ultimate investment in yourself.

The program and approach from the very beginning are very intentional and authentic. The very first sit down intake meeting with Sean my trainer allowed us to go deep, get vulnerable and find my true why and motivations for seeking out UP, which allowed Sean to connect at a deeper level with who I am and what kind of program will work best, hold me accountability, and how to push me harder than I've ever been pushed to achieve amazing results. It really does lay the foundation and tone for the rest of the journey. From there on, the program is very efficient and effective and you just need to follow the recipe they layout, stick with it, put in the hard work, and enjoy the progress, and you'll not be disappointed. It's been an amazing transformation. One of the most effective tools is having the UP Transform app integrated with iPhone and iWatch to conveniently track daily weight, sleep, meals (macros) steps/activity, hydration, and issues, plus all of your workouts programs, body composition and skinfold measurements, etc. Having all there in one place is critical and removes any obstacles and excuses. Additionally, it was recommended to get on a meal delivery program (Macro Plate), which I think was a major contributor to my success it made navigating my nutrition needs a breeze.

Sean and the rest of the team are top-notch, very knowledgeable, enjoy what they do, and take their role seriously. Very professional and focused on the client and the results. I'm very analytical and like to gain a better understanding of the methods, the technique, etc.and Sean was always able to explain and provide a educated answer and always a great resource for helping navigate challenging situations. Specifically, I had pre-existing knee and elbow injuries and we were able to modify and adapt various exercises to avoid re-injuring or causing pain, while still progressing through the program and getting results. Additionally, he was very knowledgeable about the nutrition and diet side of the program and helped customize a plan that worked for me and the program, educate me on the science behind why it works, and helped me plan for and navigate difficult situations like vacations, dinner parties, events, etc, while staying on track toward our goals. It was easy, but I'm sure without him as a partner through this, I wouldn't have achieved these outcomes.

Ultimately, UP has helped create the healthy habits and routines that enabled the space and time in the day and week to focus on the specific goals and priorities that have resulted in significantly improved energy levels, reduced stress and anxiety, or improved capability of performing well under high-levels of stress (let's face it life happens) and this has helped me immensely with being able to manage stress much better, increased my confidence, improved my well-being and just feeling healthier, and really the looking good part is the outcome of executing on all aspects of the program.

For me it's been a great education on how my mind and body handle changes in nutrition and diet, hydration, physical activities, and sleep and opened my eyes to how important and interrelated those different elements are to achieving a high functioning and performing state.

If you have the time, resources, and your committed to make a serious change, UP won't disappoint and will far exceed your expectations. Highly Recommend!

I first found UP appealing because it had the structure I felt I needed to really accomplish my goals and really was driven by a mission of putting it's clients first. I am now at my 2-month mark since joining UP, and I am well on my way towards my goals. I think one of the many big factors that sets UP apart is the accountability portion of the program and the regular support and check-ins you receive from your trainer. The program not only pushes you towards achieving your physical body goals, but also focuses on making healthy food choices, monitoring your water intake and getting daily movement in any way you can among other things. I think the latter part is so important to the sustainability afterwards; it really becomes a change in lifestyle. I've been working with my trainer Alicia who I couldn't recommend enough! She pushes me to complete the work-out and go up in weight, while cheering me on when I complete a hard circuit. She is extremely supportive of my journey, and I would recommend her to anyone joining UP in the future.

I've been working out at UP for almost two months, and it has been transformative in many ways. I feel physically and mentally stronger. I've also learned a lot about diet, water intake, and sleep, as well as ways to motivate myself in and out of the gym.

My trainer Jeffrey has pushed me with a combination of tough love and positive reinforcement. He answers my questions thoughtfully and checks in on my progress. I've also worked with other UP trainers when my trainer has been out, and they've uniformly been knowledgeable and supportive.

As you'd expect, you'll get more out of your experience if you put in the energy and effort. But in this case, the results are largely in your control. I remember my trainer telling me on day 1, "If you do everything we ask, you should get to this point in 12 weeks. " You actually can't say that about many areas of life.

If you're ready to make a change in your health, I highly recommend UP.

As an athlete in a past life, I have very high expectations for anyone that I was going to pay to train me. At a minimum, in addition to weights, I expect a plan to include nutrition, hydration, aerobic exercises, sleep and flexibility. And I expect that plan to be tailored to my goals and capabilities while taking safety seriously. All of that is just the basics. They met all of that as their default, so yeah, I recommend them highly.

-Tailored to you over cookie cutter routines.
-Accountability over nagging.
-Exercise adjustments and fine tuning over a paid rep counter.
-Sincere motivation over fake rah rah.
-Modern biomechanical knowledge over antiquated unproven notions.

Though I have only worked with one trainer (Eddie E) that, by the way, they choose for you based on their attempt at finding a good match for your style and goals, all of the trainers that I see working with other customers are just as professional, respectful, polite, knowledgeable and focused as the one I have.

So again, I highly recommend them. BTW, I’ve lost 50lbs and dropped from 33% to 14% body fat since joining in May 2022.

Ultimate Performance is the only gym I’d recommend to anybody serious about getting healthier, stronger, and losing weight. They provide the most in depth, individually catered training program for your body and abilities as well as a totally private experience. I’ve never seen more than 5 clients working out at the same time. UP trainers focus on proper form, consistently demonstrating how to do the exercise right to ensure that all of your muscles are working and to prevent injury. My trainer Jeff always takes into account my body’s conditions and allows me the time to recover after each set. I deeply appreciate how much effort he puts into my training journey and that he does so with an air of levity. All of the trainers and clients at UP are super friendly and constantly cheering each other on. This support from complete strangers is incredibly heartening. They’ve built a truly wonderful community. Most importantly, this program has yielded unparalleled results in such a short period of time. I’m down 23 pounds in 3 months and I feel stronger than I ever have. If you are looking to make a positive change to your body, life and overall well being and can afford it, Ultimate Performance is an absolute must.

This place is life changing. I’ve now lost over 50 pounds in less than 5 months and still haven’t adjusted myself to the person I now see in the mirror. My trainer, Tony, is extraordinary at what he does. He legitimately cares about turning you into a healthier person and giving you the tools to change your lifestyle for the long term. His knowledge about strength training, running and diet is unmatched. He goes the extra mile in every way possible (he’ll be at the finish line waiting for me at the LA marathon in a couple weeks).

I can’t imagine ever making this kind of transformation without the help of an elite trainer. I was never one to stick to diets or any workout routine (I hated gyms), but the dedicated support system is just what I needed. My only regret is not doing this 10 years ago.

I think the best part about working with Ultimate Performance is how methodical yet convenient the entire thing is. The facility is extremely well-kept and the environment is incredibly welcoming and encouraging.
I've been working with Ben as my personal trainer who has been incredible. From nutrition to fitness he has been an absolutely stellar trainer. He's very patient and you can tell that he is invested in his client's goals.
If you are considering Ultimate Performance I cannot recommend it enough. As someone who is a novice in fitness, I really appreciated how thorough the plans from UP are. I am currently on a 12-week plan but am undoubtedly seeing results that I would not have been able to accomplish without UP and my trainer Ben.
Do yourself a favor and choose personal training that is tailored just for you, where you can reach out anytime to your trainer with your questions, and takes the stress out of workout planning and meal prepping.

Becoming a client at Ultimate Performance has been one of the most positive and life-altering decisions that I have ever made.

For years I have struggled with my weight due to an inability and fear to be active due to genetic physical limitations. I have always given up on trainers because I either didn't trust that they were understanding of those limitations and the pain I tolerate on a day-to-day basis, or were unwilling to work with me to find exercises that not only I could do, but helped strengthen the rest of my body in a way that would eventually alleviate some of that pain. Most training programs that I found didn't have the day-to-day support that I received at U. P.in terms of the nutrition and other necessary work required outside of the gym which was an area I have struggled with to personally motivate myself as well. Additionally, U. P.made it incredibly easy to find the time for myself in fast-paced and work-oriented lifestyle that is hard to find with most other gyms and/or programs.

I have had the privilege of working with Kurt at the Brentwood location and I will never cease to sing his praises. His patience and understanding of my unique situation kept me motivated and determined and I never once felt alone on my journey. He was creative and caring in designing a program that fit my needs, and, for someone like me that doesn't particularly enjoy working out, Kurt made our sessions a fun and delightful experience week after week. I couldn't have asked for a better match.

In just a matter of months, I have steadily and healthily lost upwards of 30 pounds. Though I unfortunately am not able to continue to work at U. P.due to an out-of-state move, I am grateful for the habits Ultimate Performance and Kurt have helped me develop along with providing me with an arsenal of tools that I will continue to utilize in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.

To anyone who is motivated and looking to make a real change in their lives, look no further, Ultimate Performance is definitely the ticket.

UP has changed the way I think and approach healthy life, it gives you the tools to be a part of the process, makes you part of the team that makes you a success, and best of all – it works! And it worked so much more quickly than I ever would have expected.

My trainer, KeAndre, has been an integral part of this process, and I am so glad he is my partner through this, could not have done it without him. He is absolutely the best! Just the right amount of tough love and understanding, doesn’t dwell on the past but refocuses on the takeaways and moving forward. Would highly recommend KeAndre and UP to everyone!

I signed up at UP in early November and they got me started from the waiting list right after Thanksgiving (perfect timing). I was incredibly hyped to start this program and begin my transformation. After 3 months into the program just about to finish my last session (although I may extend after my vacation) I have lost about 30 lbs. I'm in my early 40's and after covid just couldn't get out of a rut. The changes were dramatic and took lots of work, and dedication. I'm truly grateful for my trainer Alicia Reyes and the UP Team for everything they put in their process to benefit others. I actually drove from Orange County 3 times a week (ya'll need an OC location btw) and the effort was well worth it. Alicia was always supportive, patient and positive. She consistently checked up on me on the UP app at all times and was consistent about my form.

Here are some notable mentions
Dropped from an almost tight XXL to a loose and comfortable XL.
Pretty much need to replace every item in my wardrobe.
My blood pressure dropped from being unmanageable with medication to me needing to reduce my medication.
I look and feel better and I'm looking forward to continuing my journey.

Tips if you are going to sign up
- Sign up for the Meal prep service they recommend before the training begins. They recommended me Macro plate which I started halfway through the program and it made a world of a difference. Although after my vacay I may try their paleo plan instead of the low carb plan.

- The app is awesome. USE IT RELIGIOUSLY. Follow their IG page and also Nick Mitchell's page. It was very supportive.

- invest in some good flat shoes. I think this deserves to be a great article from UP and could have some ad revenue / affiliate link potential. I never did this and I wish I did before attending my first class.

- Be ready to be focused and dedicated to yourself. You deserve it. If your dog was sick you'd probably spend 15k on a surgery. The least you could do is invest in your own health so you can be alive to pay for your dogs surgery!

Thanks again to the UP Team. Hopefully I can come back after my trip and get to that six pack transformation photo.

Also a notable mention to all the team members that were never shy to say hello and offer positive words of encouragement.
Alicia (my trainer), Julian, Jeffrey, Chris, Arturo, that manager that's always making sure the trainers are on point (The dolph lundrin looking guy!), and the rest of the team

Thank you again Alicia and UP!

I've had many starts and stops in the gym over the years and I can now say, having worked with Ultimate Performance for 6 months, that my entire relationship with the gym AND my body has totally changed. Overall I'm stronger and more confident, both inside and outside of the gym and I've already lost almost 10% body fat which is great because I was for sure TOFI, "thin on the outside, fat on the inside. "

Working with the UP team has been fantastic, hats off to my trainer Sean for everything he's taught me. Beyond Sean the entire staff has been so kind, supportive and helpful. I've already committed for a year of training and can't wait to see what the future brings.

Turning 40 my goal was to get into the best shape of my life, I can confidently say I'm well on my way now that I'm working with UP.

I trained with Anthony (Tony) Spears for over 3 months and the results were astounding.not only were he able to push me harder during the training sessions, the nutritional and personal health displines he implanted in me were also extremely crucial for my fitness goal onwards. Thanks Tony and the entire UP team for such an amazing personal growth journey!
