Naser’s ‘superhero’ body amazes his family after his 10kg (22lbs) transformation
Naser spent a lifetime chasing the body he wanted – but he always felt like he was missing pieces of the puzzle.
He’d always eaten healthily and exercised, but he could never get in the shape he wanted.
It wasn’t until he saw the rapid results his wife achieved in a few weeks at Ultimate Performance that he knew he had found what he was looking for.
Now, with the experts at U.P. by his side, 42-year-old corporate vice president Naser completed the puzzle and forged a physique that surpassed even his wildest expectations.
Not only that, but his doctor says his cholesterol levels and HbA1c – a marker of diabetes – are now perfectly healthy after his transformation.
When Naser first started his transformation, his goal was simple: get lean.
It had been more than 20 years since he had seen any definition in his abs, so he put his faith in his trainer and U.P.’s data-driven approach to help change that.
“I have always been small-framed in terms of my body so I thought I should make the most of this frame and at least add that definition or get that shredded or ripped look.”
“Training at U.P. has bumped up my confidence level as well. Whenever I’m at the beach or the pool now, I’m in a rush to take off my shirt. I love the way I look right now.”
Ultimate Performance has radically redefined the art and science of one-to-one training to create an experience that will transform your body, your health and your life.

FAQs
What lifestyle changes do I need to make to lose fat?
It’s an inevitable fact of life that if you want a different outcome when it comes to successful fat loss, you need to change what you put into the equation. This means that, for nearly all our clients, some degree of lifestyle change is a necessary element of achieving a transformation. After all, the habits that you have developed thus far have brought you to your current situation.
However, that’s not to say that you need to completely uproot your life either. And beyond simply being impractical, this would not be reasonable or conducive to long-term adherence. The changes that are going to get you in great shape – and keep you there – are going to be ones that work best with your unique circumstances.
That’s why we focus on habit changes rather than prescriptive, rigid plans that only work on paper. While there may be some golden rules that we encourage our clients to follow, we won’t try and force you to follow something you just don’t want to do. From the very outset, we work with you to create your nutrition plan; no egg whites and white fish being forced on you here.
Your trainer will likely also ask you to hit a daily step goal. This is because it’s very hard to achieve a consistent calorie deficit necessary for fat loss through diet alone. Remember – it is your energy balance that makes the difference to whether you gain, maintain or lose weight – how active you are consistently throughout your daily life plays a part in this.
However, your U.P. trainer won’t just set an arbitrary goal and leave you to it; they will work with you to fit the program into your lifestyle and help you form lifelong healthy habits.
After all, the plan that best fits your life is the plan that you can stick to for life.
Why do you prioritise weight training over cardio on a fat program?
We don’t necessarily prioritise weight training over cardio, but they do play different roles within a transformation.
In order to improve body composition, we nearly always need some level of fat loss and to do that we need to create a calorie deficit. It is very hard to do this through diet alone without being very restrictive, which can only be effective for so long. It’s also very hard to do this through exercise alone and one high-calorie meal can easily offset several hours’ work. That’s why we use a combination of reduced calorie intake and increased general activity levels to increase our deficit.
It’s important to remember that cardio is simply one option in the fat loss toolbox. There’s nothing magic about cardio; it simply increases the number of calories you burn in general (as well as making you better at that form of exercise).
However, it can also place competing demands on the body when it comes to adaptation and recovery from resistance training, which is why we tend to recommend low-impact forms of activity, such as walking, for the most part, and minimal or even no cardio in many cases.
Once we have created the demand for our body to tap into its stored energy, we need to make sure this comes from tissue we don’t want to keep (body fat) rather than tissue we do (muscle). Rather than simply to burn huge numbers of calories, resistance training functions to retain and build lean tissue during times of caloric restriction. This has numerous important implications for physical appearance as well as wellbeing:
Improved aesthetic – think looking good naked as well as in clothes.
Improved nutrient partitioning – you make the most out of the foods you eat and reduce the risk of conditions such as type II diabetes.
Improved strength and reduced risk of age-related sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Reduced risk of all-cause mortality.
And the most important one… being able to eat more!
In summary, we create a calorie deficit through increased activity and nutrition changes. The level of this deficit determines whether we lose weight and how fast. We can then encourage the body to tap into body fat by resistance training, eating adequate protein and optimising recovery.
Everything I've tried to lose fat has failed - how do I know this program will work for me?
Most people fail in their fat loss attempts because they don’t have the right combination of effective goal setting, accountability and flexibility.
These three factors are the cornerstones of what makes the Ultimate Performance model so effective in delivering results for thousands of clients down the years.
We never impose goals on our clients; we listen to your goals and learn about your lifestyle. Then we work with you to develop a personalised plan that you can feel confident will help you to achieve the results you want.
We keep you accountable to your commitments and help you build strategies into your life that make them easier, not harder to stick to.
We help you plan for times when you need to be flexible, such as meals out, travel, and socialising.
And we work tirelessly with you around the clock, both inside and outside the gym, to not only help you achieve results, but learn the tools and skills to maintain them for life.
Our approach to fat loss is proven with countless clients worldwide of all ages and abilities. So, if you commit to the process and adhere to your program consistently, you will see the results you want.
