1st class programming
Been a member of the online coaching for a month now. Programming is 1st class. Plenty of scaling options for all levels of fitness. Nice to be following a well structured program that I'm enjoying and makes sense. Looking forward to what next months workouts bring. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting some structured programming.

Gav is a top coach with a wealth of experience, My son enjoyed every session aswell as developed new movements and training techniques, would definitely recommend any one to him for training needs and coaching
Simply amazing!
Can't recommend these guys enough! I've tried gyms in the past but could never stick to it until I tried UPC. I took the plunge a year and a half after having my daughter and honestly felt so comfortable. I've seen huge changes in my fitness and appearance since joining. The coaches make you feel so comfortable and the other people who attend are genuinely lovely. Wouldnt go anywhere else!

Love love love this gym
Love love love this gym, it’s like my church makes me want to do better for my whole well being, fitness, nutrition and mind set. My fitness journey started in Sep 22 and never looked back since, Up coaching is for anyone, any fitness levels and is tailored for all abilities. Gavin,John and the team are brilliant coaches and I am so thankful to them for helping me along the way, I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area.
Amazing, life changing service
All my life I have trained in bodybuilding and in a very specific way. I wanted to experience something more challenging and something that will get me more fit and healthier. I have been going to unique performance coach class three times a week and it has change my perspective around training health and well-being. I also love the social aspect of the classes. The coaches and trainers are top quality with an abundance of knowledge around training and life. I feel so lucky I get to be a part of a well managed gym

Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic coaches who always give a positive spin to reach your goals, excellent communicators but over everything else down to earth great lads!
Hi joined the gym group beginning of December 2022
Hi joined the gym group beginning of this year, was instantly impressed with the layout and the professional way the coaches Gav,John and Michael who encouraged and mapped my fitness with dedication in order for me to progress on an even keel, allowing me to still work at mussel groups and over all fitness,can’t recommend this gym highly enough as a starter ,advanced male ,female old or young this is the gym for you 👍

I have been a member of UPC since 22nd of December. I can’t speak highly enough of Gav & John. You can join any gym in the world and you are just a number, UPC make a point of instilling a family/community atmosphere amongst their members and they CARE. I have never felt as physically or mentally healthy. The actual sessions they programme for the members are filled with the kind of exercises that you SHOULD do, because they are very good for you, but would quite often shy away from if you were training by yourself in the gym. This teaches and encourages accountability and you feel incredible afterwards. I couldn’t speak highly enough of UPC and I will be a member for as long as I can lift weights.
The very best training community
I’ve tried (and failed) many times to find a health plan and gym that I look forward to attending every session. The coaches are not only fantastically knowledgeable but also approachable, supportive and friendly. I’ve had a shoulder issue for a number of years but UPC always make sure to amend plans where needed and allow me to always feel comfortable in the movement. That has given me new confidence and I already feel stronger and fitter than ever before. The community support each other and all abilities are welcome.
Excellent coaching for all ages and abilities.
The Seaham junior rugby team have seen a significant difference in their fitness and energy levels since working with the excellent coaches at Unique Performance. All the coaches have extensive knowledge and a friendly approach, making everyone feel comfortable and able to achieve. They adapt the exercise/equipment to suit the ability/level without making this look different to what everyone else is doing giving pointers to improve week on week. The explanation to the team members is clear with encouragement which keeps them motivated throughout the session. The team are having fantastic experiences at Unique Performance Coaching and we would highly recommend to anyone of any ability, excellent fitness plans, plenty of equipment and lots of guidance where required.
