Ultimate You isn't just a gym, its a lifestyle. I walked into UY after I changed jobs & lost my corporate gym membership at only of the large franchised gyms. UY was closest to my work, so it seemed like the logical choice. I had no idea how much my life was about to change!! From the moment I walked in though I could tell that this gym with in a different stratosphere from my old generic gym. Everyone is so friendly, all the trainers & staff know your name & are genuinely interested in your training & how they can assist you to achieve your results. They have a holistic approach that includes nutrition & mindset training to ensure you are fuelling your body with the best food to achieve fast results, and you are developing the mental strength to make training a lifestyle, not just a fad. They have a kitchen where Kathy (or 'my gym mum' as I call her) whips up delicious, healthy meals at a very reasonable price - ideal for people on the go as you don't have to bother cooking dinner!

I recommend UY to everyone and have already had two friends join off my recommendation - one has lost 10kgs in only SIX WEEKS and he wasn't a big guy to start with. Now he is ripped for summer & feeling more confident than ever. The classes are also fantastic. Spn/Box, Kickboxing, indoor bootcamp, spin core, yoga & more. They are so much more engaging than the run of the mill boring Les Mills classes run by 90% of other gyms. The owners Andy & Andrea practice what they preach, and Andy has to be one of the most positive & energetic people I have ever met which is infectious. I also do PT twice a week with Melvin who really pushes me when I'm being a whinger (90% of the session!) toachieve things I would never thought possible (150 burpees? I can't do that - turns out, I CAN!) but Melvin can tell when I really have physically hit my limit & need to drop the weight/reps etc. He has really helped me with correcting my form as well.

If you are sick of making up excuses, spending summer wearing all your clothes on the sand as your friends frolic in their bikini;s & generally not feeling like you are your best self, get off your butt & get down to Ultimate You. The only one who can change your life is YOU. Be brave & take that first step!!

Only negative, if I was nit picking is the parking can sometimes be a bit of a pain.
