Personal training
-
Every training cooperation begins with a thorough interview where we discuss your training objectives, current lifestyle, and any past injuries. This is followed by a physical assessment, during which we evaluate your mobility, flexibility, and strength to determine the right training approach.
-
All our training programs are highly individualized based on your specific goals and the results of your previous assessment. We meticulously track data such as repetitions, weight lifted, exercise tempo, and rest periods to ensure continuous progress toward your goals.
-
All of our clients receive personalized meal plans and supplementation protocols tailored to their unique needs. These protocols are updated every few weeks based on your progress to ensure optimal results. Our approach ensures that your nutrition and supplementation are always aligned with your current goals and lifestyle.
-
Our clients go through a series of coaching sessions during which they are educated and provided with materials on nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle hacks to maximize their performance and well-being.

All of our services, including personal training, are conducted in our private facility on the vibrant Albert Cuypstraat, equipped with top-tier fitness equipment such as Rogue from the USA and Watson equipment from the UK. All personal training services include towel service, complimentary coffee or tea, and a post-workout shake.
-
Every week, our clients undergo a metabolic balance assessment. During this assessment, we measure body fat percentage, evaluate lean muscle mass, and analyze the hormonal profile. These results allow us to track your progress and the effectiveness of our interventions.

why fat loss is so difficult?
-
Hormonal Regulation: Key hormones such as insulin, leptin, ghrelin, and cortisol significantly influence appetite, metabolism, and fat storage. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt hunger signals and energy balance.
Set Point Theory: The body tends to maintain a predetermined weight range through adaptive mechanisms, such as adjusting metabolism and hunger cues, making long-term fat loss more difficult.
Metabolic Adaptation: Prolonged caloric deficits can lead to a reduction in resting metabolic rate (RMR) as the body conserves energy, which can slow progress.
-
Insufficient Sleep: Poor sleep disrupts hormonal regulation, particularly increasing ghrelin (hunger hormone) and decreasing leptin (satiety hormone), which can lead to overeating.
Sedentary Behavior: Modern lifestyles, characterized by prolonged sitting and limited physical activity, contribute to a lower total daily energy expenditure (TDEE).
Irregular Routines: Inconsistent meal patterns and exercise habits hinder the formation of sustainable behaviors necessary for long-term success.
-
Short-Term Focus: Many individuals set ambitious goals, expecting rapid results, which can lead to disappointment and decreased adherence. Sustainable fat loss typically occurs at a rate of 0.5–1 kg per week.
Overreliance on the Scale: Weight fluctuations, influenced by factors such as water retention, muscle gain, and digestion, can obscure actual progress, causing unnecessary discouragement.
-
Poor sleep and chronic stress elevate cortisol levels, which can increase cravings, encourage fat storage (especially around the midsection), and make it harder to recover from workouts. Optimizing sleep and managing stress are just as important as diet and training for effective fat loss.
A scientific approach to fat loss?
What makes our model so efficient and effective at delivering remarkable fat loss results is that everything we do is built on hard science and driven by data.
We track every progress metric imaginable to give clients quantifiable results and measurable outcomes, while continually refining our methodology.
Our proven model, our in-depth data and the positive health outcomes we can demonstrate are now part of a series of ground-breaking collaborative research projects with scientists at Cambridge University and the University of California.
These preliminary studies show:
1. Our clients reduced their BMI from the ‘overweight’ to ‘normal’ range on average over 12 weeks.
2. Our clients with hypertension reduced their systolic blood pressure from 149.2 to 118.5 mmHg over an average of 96 days.
3. Our clients’ personal goals determine their weight loss. Some lose fat but gain lean body mass. Others may lose 30, 40 or even 50kg. But, on average, our clients lost 6kg (13lbs) over a 12-week period, according to our data.
What this gives clients is confidence that Ultimate Performance is the most effective system in the world for fat loss that delivers tangible results in short time frames.
