  UP is everything it claims to be and more. You definitely get out what you put in. Both Libby and Reid have been excellent trainers and I look forward to my training sessions. The follow up and support I get while outside the gym has been invaluable and I would highly recommend joining. They don’t just help you get into the shape you want but also change the way you think about food and your health so you can stay in Shape!

  I’m someone who’s been on gym floors for the past 23 years. But it wasn’t until I joined UP that I truly understood what my body could achieve. Beyond the change on fitness levels and visible results, it’s the education that I got from my trainer Sergio that really made all the difference. Sergio is someone who really has my back. My goals are his goals. He’s focused, patient, teaches me about form and what pushing hard should really feel like. His (personal and fitness) skills and expertise have been nothing short of phenomenal. I see him about once/month, when I’m in London for business, which means that most of my workouts are done without him physically present. Yet, his attention, regular check in’s and time/disposition to answer all my questions and course correct me from a distance are extremely powerful and impactful. I have learned how to push myself in a way I was nowhere close to over the course of two decades. The sessions we have together are focused, fun and yes, hard… which makes the feeling of accomplishment afterwards priceless. The gym itself is also fantastic. I barely have time to raise my head and look around but every time I do I see people really supported and pushing themselves. It’s truly an inclusive environment. I’m lifting the heaviest weights I’ve ever done in my life, with the confidence on form and execution that I never knew I needed. To me, my sessions with Sergio at UP are the utmost investment on my health… and I personally don’t have many other things that matter more than longevity and quality of life, and the butterfly effect that has on the ones around me.

  Had to have an initial consultation with Chris - the manager. He came across underwhelming, unfriendly, and quite sales pushy. I have never met anyone who was trying to sell me something who didn’t smile once. Until I met Chris. The deal was, I had to sign up and pay almost £4000 for 2mths, but was not even given a tour of the gym, faculties or even allowed to meet whoever my trainer would be. I needed to sign up and pay up first, before any of that info would be made available to me. It is a lot of money to part with to go in just blind, given most gyms will at least allow for a one day trial or for you at least to meet your trainer and decide if you like the chemistry, before committing to anything.

  I have been training at UP Kensington for the past 5 months now. It is unbelievable the transformation that has occurred already - I feel great, more energy and more focus. I have a way to go but I look better and healthier too. I can’t thank Libby my PT enough; she is always there to guide and motivate - from educating me on how the body works to diet to helping me keep on course even when I’m traveling (from finding the right stuff on restaurant menus to finding ways to remain active with a busy schedule). I don’t envy her; she has had to be extremely patient with me, given I had never stepped foot in a gym before. This is truly a life changing experience and these guys are top professionals. I have only worked with Libby but every PT at UP Kensington that I have interacted with or observed is very very good at what they do and it is no wonder that they get results. I highly recommend these guys; this is probably one of the best investments anyone can make!

  I highly recommend UP Kensington to anyone looking for a physical reset/transformation. The trainers there are great. My personal trainer, Kane, has been nothing short of fabulous and has really made an effort to make sure I understand what I am doing, and why. Gives me confidence that I will be able to continue on my own (even though I might not want to!)

  Hello Friend

  I started at UP this past September and it has been a fantastic experience. What I needed in a gym was faith. That as long as I showed up to do the work, that I would get the results I wanted. As a non athlete I’ve always been intimidated and self conscious in the gym. I’m in my 50s and slim, but my goal was to become stronger. UP is totally delivering. My trainer, Kane, has just the right touch. He focuses on form and teaching me how to do things right. He pushes me to get to the next level. My confidence has improved (as has my strength!) and I feel at home at UP. The atmosphere is friendly and it feels like a club- I actually look forward to going! I now KNOW that I will absolutely reach my goals. This belief has resulted in me becoming completely dedicated to the process in a way I never have been before. Now I am a gym person! Thank you Kane and UP- I’m so pleased and excited for this continuing journey! Heather Falcone

  Returning client to UP Kensington. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Best investment you can make for yourself if you are able to follow their guidance and commit to lifestyle changes and those daily steps. I am currently 5th week in with the goal of increasing my LBM. PT Sergio has been excellent in guiding me through this and I have already made substantial improvements in physique, meal planning and learning proper and effective training techniques for the gym. Honorary mentions for PT Chris and PT Jason for me and my brother’s previous training programs with them in 2020 and their dedication throughout the lockdowns.

  I have been incredibly impressed so far by UP Kensington. My trainer Sergio is very professional, gets the balance right between pushing me and supporting me, and crucially, is very responsive throughout the week. I highly recommend UP to anyone looking to make a lifestyle change.

  I’ve been going to UP Kensington for about three and a half months now, and I can honestly say this was one of the best things I’ve ever done for my fitness and health. I’ve been recovering from a severe back injury and have never been to a proper gym before for an consistent period of time; given that, my PT Kane has been absolutely exceptional at helping me reach my goals of improved fitness with reduced pain. A few things I want to highlight: 1. While I’ve worked almost exclusively with Kane, he and the rest of the team are absolutely at the top of their game when it comes to training. They are skilled and knowledgeable in so many facets of this space - and what is fantastic is that they share this with you as you go through your journey. 2. The UP method of course isn’t a magic bullet - and this isn’t going to be one of those fancy gyms with Instagram worthy equipment. It is a place for serious work, and it is underpinned by a very strong, at times intense, and very high quality process that works incredibly well if you put your time and energy and mind into it. And the team makes it fun and engaging for you to do so every time you visit. 3. They also genuinely want to help you achieve your goals and aspirations: whether it is a fitter look, feeling and being healthier or simply being in less pain like me. They will go out of their way to customise your program for you, while still ensuring you push yourself to improve and grow and develop. And even when I had a different trainer for a few days - there was a highly efficient handover, and I had a fabulous experience with Maurizio too. 4. Whether it is reducing my body fat %, or tweaking an exercise to make it more impactful, or simply helping one establish a stronger mind-body connection - Kane has consistently given me so many little tips that have helped me become fitter in so many ways, and kept me motivated in gym and over time. These little things add up to massive impact over time. 5. One last thing - it is really great to see a gym where the whole team is so talented, works well together, enjoys being there, clearly enjoys their work, has a strong work ethic, and is generally good fun all around. This stems from strong leadership and role-modeling from the top of the org. And as a client / customer / friend - it makes one feel good to be there. 100% recommend. If you didn’t guess that already ;)

  The dictionary defines superlative as..."of the highest kind, quality, or order, surpassing all else, or others. Supreme." I define it as UP Kensington. As a gym, and as a workplace, it is of the highest kind, quality, and order. Supreme.
