I am a 41 year old female, and I started 1-on-1 personal training at Uplift in Richmond because of ongoing lower back and shoulder injuries. I had been told by doctors, physiotherapists, and other professionals that surgery was the only solution. But at Uplift, I received a detailed assessment and a strength coaching and rehabilitation program tailored exactly to my needs.What surprised me most was the immediate improvement I felt after just a few sessions. After 12 weeks of consistent rehab and 1-on-1 strength training, my pain was completely gone, and I could move freely again.I also love that Uplift is an appointment-based studio, so there’s no waiting around for equipment like in big commercial gyms. The space is welcoming, clean, and has a great environment that feels non-intimidating — perfect for people who just want to focus on their health without being surrounded by the usual gym crowd.I’m still training here now and couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made. If you're looking for personalised help with injury rehab or want to improve your strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing, I highly recommend Uplift.

I've been doing Personal Training at Uplift for a while and I honestly couldn't recommend this place enough. From day one Hossein and Justin made me feel welcomed and supported. The Uplift Team run an appointment based studio which means the place is never overcrowded, which makes it very non intimidating to walk into. Also, the studio is so very very clean which is a huge bonus!A huge standout for me is that Hossein was able to identify and fix an existing back injury I had been dealing with for over 20 years. I never expected that kind of improvement and it's made a massive difference to my day to day life.The sessions themselves are fun, well targeted and always personalised to what I need. I leave every appointment feeling stronger, motivated and genuinely looked after.Highly recommend Uplift to anyone wanting quality training with coaches who actually care.Keep Up The Great Work Uplift Team!

I am a Richmond local and a 44 year old mum of two, and I have been doing one on one training at Uplift since December 2024. I had known about Uplift for years, but I never had the confidence to walk in. From the outside it felt intimidating, and I assumed it was not for someone like me.Since the new owner (Hossein) took over, everything has changed. The studio now looks and feels welcoming and modern, and it is genuinely non intimidating, while still being very focused on results. I have trained at several local studios over the years, but this has easily been my best experience. The bathrooms and showers are sparkling clean.My trainer Justin has been outstanding. He is patient, flexible with my schedule and busy family life, and he actually listens. The sessions feel truly personalised, the coaching is very detailed, and the progress has been real. I feel stronger than I ever have, and more confident in my body than I expected.You can tell a lot of care has gone into improving this place, not just the appearance, but the whole experience. I would absolutely recommend Uplift to any mum who wants high quality coaching in a supportive environment.

I have trained with Hossein since 2021, back then he was a solo trainer at Fitness First. He has helped me tremendously, not just physically but mentally as well. When Hossein took over Uplift and started the remodel, I followed him into this new era, and the transformation of the studio has been fantastic. The culture he has created is welcoming, professional, and genuinely supportive. The team he has built over the last 18 months is knowledgeable and caring, and it is clear Hossein sets that standard. I have also been training with Nanak for the past three months and he has been excellent, knowledgeable, supportive, and focused on quality. I am proud to be an Uplift client and I highly recommend Hossein and the team.

I've had the pleasure to do 1-on-1 personal training with Hossein for a few years now. In that time while I may not have become a super model but I have gotten stronger, stabler (if that's a word), and overall become a healthier person. Hossein took me from being a someone who would not dare take a step to the gym to someone he is able to lift heavy, to have a good form, and be proud of their achievements. Strength training has now become something I look forward to. Its worth noting that Hossein does take the time to improve my form and take my feedback as I learn from him.I began to train with the clear intent of learning a couple of things and then going solo. Hossein made me stay, he's helped me grow both in and outside the gym. I'm proud that I now get to go to his very own gym, one that is professional, clean, and more than well equipped. I have really enjoyed going to the appointment based study it has a great environment, non-intimidating and clean. It's impressive what the new management has done to Uplift, improving it for the better.For those who did finish reading this review, while it may seem daunting please do come and train, if I can I'm confident you can too.

I'm 56 and I started 1-on-1 personal training at Uplift last October(2024) because I wanted to feel more confident moving through life, and I have to say, it's been amazing.From day one,I've felt listened to, and each session is tailored specifcally to my needs.Through expert strengh coaching, I've become noticeably stronger and more balanced. Everyday things like climbing stairs, gardening, or even getting up from the couch now feel effortless. Uplift is a stodio with a great and-intimidating environment,clean, and welcoming.The setup is high-end, and it's clear that Hossein and Justin genuinely care about providing a premium service.My sessions are focused and effective, and I always leave feeling accomplished. Uplift has truly been a lifesaver for me.

Uplift has honestly become the best training decision I have made. It is a proper result driven PT studio, but it still feels welcoming and comfortable the moment you walk in. Hossein has created a high standard environment where you know you are being coached properly, not just pushed through a session.What really stands out is the team. Everyone is switched on, supportive, and pays attention to the details that actually matter. I train with Justin and he has been excellent, very knowledgeable, calm, and clear with his coaching, and he genuinely cares about keeping me injury-free.You can feel the culture Hossein has built in each session. If you are over 35 and want real progress and a studio in Melbourne that takes coaching seriously, I highly recommend Uplift .
