Prioritise Your Health: It’s Not Selfish, It’s an Investment.⁣
⁣
It’s one of the most beautiful and deeply human instincts we have: dedicating ourselves entirely to the care and support of the people we love—our children, our partner, our parents, our friends, and everyone in our lives who relies on us.⁣
⁣
However, many of us forget that sustained high-level giving requires a full reserve of energy and capacity.⁣
⁣
You’ve heard the saying: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”⁣
⁣
This isn’t a cliché; it’s a foundational truth about human performance. ⁣
⁣
Every time you neglect your sleep, skip a workout, or push your own needs aside, you are draining the very resource pool your loved ones depend on.⁣
⁣
Prioritising your health—your fitness, your recovery, your nutrition—is not a selfish act you do for yourself.⁣
⁣
It is a strategic, selfless act you do for everyone else in your life.⁣
⁣
When you invest in your own well-being, you maximise your presence, your patience, and your strength. You ensure that when others need your best, you have something powerful left to give.⁣
⁣
Make your health your highest priority this week. ⁣
It’s the single most impactful way to guarantee you show UP fully for yourself, and for the people who matter most.⁣

Our Client is Making Local Headlines! 🗞️

We are absolutely thrilled to celebrate a huge milestone for one of our incredible clients, Jordan, whose amazing transformation has just been featured in the local news!

If anyone has an excuse not to train, it’s Jordan. As a dedicated chef, he faces brutal, late-night hours and is constantly surrounded by food and the intense heat of a professional kitchen. For most, prioritising health in that environment feels impossible.

But Jordan is living proof that no obstacle is too big. He committed to a plan, put in the consistent work, and embraced the journey—and his results were so phenomenal that he’s now officially a local news feature, inspiring the whole of Derbyshire!

This is a testament to what's possible when you choose to take control, regardless of your demanding schedule.

Client(s) of the Month: Fiona & Paul! 🏆

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that this month’s honours go to the unstoppable power couple, Fiona and Paul! These two amazing people have not only been consistently smashing every session, but they are proving that great partnerships can lead to phenomenal progress.

Fiona has been hitting some serious milestones that deserve a huge spotlight! We’re celebrating her hitting a phenomenal 8kg on her chest press and achieving a goal that so many struggle with: completing 10 perfect, full press-ups. That is pure, hard-earned strength!

Even more importantly, her consistency has paid off in huge ways functionally—she’s strengthened her knee so effectively that a long-standing ni**le is now completely gone! This is what training is all about: building real-world resilience. We are already looking ahead to the next challenge: pull-ups!

While Fiona has been focusing on brute strength, Paul has been meticulously building his engine from the inside out. His goal has been to gradually increase his VO2 Max. For those who don't know, your VO2 Max is the single best measure of your cardiovascular fitness—it’s the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. Paul’s consistent effort means he is literally making his heart stronger, his endurance higher, and his fatigue lower. He is building the capacity for a more energetic and fitter life, and that foundation is priceless!

On top of that, Paul is seriously levelling UP his core strength. Trying to keep pace with Fiona's already impressive core power has given him an amazing benchmark, and his functional strength is going up every week. He is truly building the solid foundation necessary for peak performance.

Fiona and Paul embody everything we stand for at UP Strength:
Consistency, commitment, and celebrating every single win.

Their sessions are always filled with incredible energy and non-stop laughter, proving that training hard doesn't have to mean taking yourself too seriously! It’s inspiring to see them turn UP, support each other, and achieve their goals together.

Huge congratulations, team! Keep that incredible momentum going!

HAPPY NATIONAL FITNESS DAY! 🎉⁣
⁣
Today, we celebrate the powerful benefits of an active life. But for us, fitness is about more than just a single day. It’s a deep commitment—it’s the habit we build, the confidence we gain, and the energy we create to live life to the fullest.⁣
⁣
This is why we truly believe that fitness is different for everyone.⁣
⁣
For some, it’s a packed gym, the clang of plates, and the thrill of hitting a new personal best. We have clients who live for smashing a new deadlift record and seeing the numbers go up.⁣
⁣
But for another client, fitness is the feeling of freedom they get on a long walk in the countryside, leaving their worries behind. It’s not about the weights or the miles; it’s about the feeling of strength and peace they find in their body.⁣
⁣
The most important thing is not to compare your journey to anyone else’s. There is no single definition of fit. The goal is simply to find what makes you feel strong, confident, and alive—and to do more of it.⁣
⁣
Celebrate your own journey today, no matter how small the step!⁣

This isn’t just another transformation.

This is a testament to the person you become in the process.

When Jordan first reached out to us, he wasn’t just looking for a workout plan to lose a few pounds. He was looking for a way to get back control, to rebuild his relationship with himself, and to find the confidence he knew was buried beneath the surface. He was tired of feeling tired. He was ready for a change.

In just under 12 weeks, Jordan didn’t just follow the program. He showed up when he didn’t want to. He made tough choices when it would have been easier to quit. He didn’t miss a single home program.

A huge part of his success came from his commitment to the tailored program he followed on our app. He proved that you don’t need a full gym to see incredible results, as he achieved this transformation with just minimal equipment at home and a weekly personal training session.

He took ownership of his goals and consistently put in the work, in his own time, day in and day out. That level of self-discipline is what truly sets him apart.

The results speak for themselves. In a little over two months, he has completely transformed his body and his health, losing a phenomenal 14kg (over 2 stone).

This success wasn’t built on impossible diets or crazy fads. It was built on consistency and a simple promise: to fuel his body with the respect it deserves. Jordan focused on a balanced approach—prioritising protein, staying hydrated, and making smart, sustainable choices. That dedication, combined with his work in the studio and at home, is the real reason for his phenomenal success.

But the real transformation isn’t in the number on the scale. It’s in the quiet confidence he now carries. It’s in the energy he has to do more of what he loves. It’s in the person he sees in the mirror now—someone who committed to a goal and saw it all the way through.

14kg down and 4.2kg gain in lean muscle mass.

This isn’t about genetics or luck. This is about discipline, consistency, and a decision.

What would happen if you decided to start your story today?

Our Client of the Month For August - Jordan 🏆

In just 6 weeks, Jordan has absolutely crushed his first package, losing an incredible 8.16 kg! (1 stone and 4lbs) (18lbs)

This is a massive achievement, but what you can’t see on the scale is the true story of his transformation.

Jordan’s progress has gone far beyond just weight loss.
He has made incredible strides in his strength and fitness. He’s consistently lifting heavier weights with perfect form, and his endurance has skyrocketed. The movements that were a challenge just a few weeks ago are now a warm-up, and he’s moving with more confidence and ease every single session.

This transformation is a direct result of his unwavering dedication to our hybrid program. The online personal training app provided the structure and accountability he needed between our weekly sessions, while our 1-to-1 time allowed us to perfect his form, push his limits, and celebrate every single win together.

This isn’t a quick fix—it’s the foundation of a new, stronger, and more confident lifestyle. We couldn’t be more proud of his progress. This is just the start for him! Jordan is a role model client—he hasn’t missed a single session and has followed all our guidance to the letter.

As he embarks on his next package with a target of losing another stone, I have no doubt he’ll smash it.

Let Jordan’s success serve as a powerful reminder that true progress is a combination of discipline, hard work, and the right plan. With unwavering commitment, truly incredible results are possible.
