Who We Are:
Founded in London in 2009, UP has become a global leader in body transformation, delivering laser-focused, results-driven personal training through the UP Method.

But let’s be clear...We’re not a gym. We don’t compare ourselves to gyms. We’re not in the same lane. Our service and support go far beyond a client's 60-minute session. Our commitment isn’t limited to two or three hours a week, it’s a full-spectrum approach that drives total transformation.
Our Method:
So, what’s the secret sauce?
