Hossein has a great understanding of body mechanics and form in strength training. Also particularly helpful with assessing "the whole body" - eg a knee issue I had was solved by working on my glutes rather than trying to rest my knee. The programs can scale up and down with your needs - would recommend Uplift for strength, injury prevention and improving your body/lean muscle mass Less

Could recommend it to anyone who would love to start their journey with weightlifting, especially for women.A lot of people get nervous about lifting weights because they think of gym being packed with big muscular, flexing dudes and it can be very intimidating (that was the reason why it took me ages to convince myself to start lifting) but this place is not like that. It’s a community, everyone knows each other and it’s very motivating.I’m a mother of two and lifting weights was the best for me! I couldn’t recommend it more. If you’re a mum like me, it’s a place for you.The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive! The exercises are very challenging. I go home sore every time!Definitely my favorite gym in Richmond.

After a year away from the gym, I was searching all over Richmond for a place that offered group fitness and personal training with a personalized touch. Uplift has exceeded my expectations.The new management has been instrumental in helping me recover from back and shoulder injuries through their expertise and attention to detail. Their focus on proper form and long-term progress sets them apart from other gyms that prioritize short-term results.I’m grateful to be part of the Uplift community. If you’re looking for a gym that truly invests in your fitness journey, this is the place to be. Less

I wanted to respond to a negative review I don’t agree with. Sure, there were some changes when the new owners took over (that’s to be expected), but now it’s more about the form and technique than ever before. It’s like looking through a physio’s eyes, and everyone gets the attention of the trainers. The programming is still top-notch, and I still love going to this gym. Everyone is warmly welcomed and attended for throughout the sessions.I’m trying to go multiple times a week, improving my strength and getting a good workout in. Less

I have had PT for 25 years (I am 60 years old), but started training at Uplift as I was tired of bouncing between PT and physio. These guys promised they can train me in a way that my injuries will be addressed, as well. I feel there is a noticeable gap in the fitness industry between strength training and rehab. A few months in, I’m blown away by how much I’ve improved. These guys are brilliant. My sessions are always tailored to my level. My chronic back and knee pain are gone, and I feel stronger and more energetic than I have in years. Hossein and Justin are doing an amazing job by running a tight ship. I’m thrilled to have found a gym that gets it. Less

I am 56 and I started PT at Uplift last October (2024) because I wanted to feel more confident moving through life, and I should say it has been amazing. I have been listened and the sessions are designed to fit my needs. I have gotten so much stronger and more balanced. Things like climbing stairs, gardening, or even getting up from the couch feel effortless now compared to before. Uplift studio has got a great setup, and the owners, Hossein and Justin clearly care about making it high end standard for everyone. I love that my PT sessions are focused and effective, and I always leave feeling accomplished. Uplift’s been a lifesaver. Thanks guys Less

I highly recommend Uplift Training & Performance for its exceptional professional training, support and service delivery. Not all trainers and gyms are alike and Uplift is a superb standout in a busy gym market.The gym provides group classes as well as personal training services. I value that the gym is friendly, extremely organised and tidy, welcoming and enjoyable to train at.My personal trainer is Hossein (the owner) who is an outstanding personal trainer. Hossein is extremely knowledgeable and a leader in the field. He has an invaluable understanding of all his clients training needs as well as excellent attention to detail required for developing and delivering training sessions that are specifically targeted, or adapted where needed to each persons specific goals and needs. Hossein has been key to helping me achieve my goals.I also value the on-going support and feedback that he provides in general, but particularly when I am struggling with an exercise or getting through a session.Thanks also to Hossein’s personal manner, each session is also enjoyable and rewarding to attend so I look forward to the sessions every time.

I really enjoyed my experience at uplift training and performance. I did a trial while visiting my sister and honestly I want to move to Melbourne for this gym! Great facilities and a welcoming vibe. Both Justin and Hossein are so knowledgeable and attentive. I will be back! Less
