I’ve been training with Hossein at Uplift, my strength has improved significantly in a relatively short period of time, but more importantly my overall energy levels day-to-day have noticeably lifted.Hossein has a great ability to tailor sessions so you’re constantly progressing, while still keeping things engaging and sustainable. There’s a real focus on doing things properly — technique, structure, and consistency — which gives you confidence that you’re building something long-term, not just going through the motions.The environment and team he’s created at Uplift is professional but welcoming, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients getting results. It’s easily one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health.

Uplift is one of those places that just feels right the moment you walk in. It is professional, well run, and welcoming, and you can tell the coaches genuinely care. The studio feels premium without being pretentious, and everything is organised and easy.The coaching is the best part. Sessions are personalised, the attention to technique is excellent, and you always know why you are doing what you are doing. It is proper coaching, not just being pushed through a workout.I also really like the community. Most people training here are around 40 plus, so it feels comfortable and relatable. Everyone is there to get stronger and stay healthy, and the atmosphere is supportive without being intense or intimidating.Hossein and the team deliver a level of service that is hard to find. I highly recommend Uplift if you want quality coaching, real progress, and a great environment.

Hossein, Justin and the team are great guys and really knowledgeable trainers. I have been training at uplift for a couple of years and seen great results. If you are looking for personal or semi-personal training I definitely recommend Uplift.

I’m a 57 year old woman and have been training at Uplift with Hossein for over 12 months now, and it has honestly been a game-changer.Before coming to Uplift, I was constantly plagued by injuries and as someone who has always been physically active, felt stuck in a frustrating cycle of starting and stoppingFrom day one, Hossein took the time to truly understand my history and designed a rehabilitative program tailored specifically to me.The progress has been slow but steady and for the first time in years, it’s been sustainable. I feel more capable and confident in my body.Uplift is an appointment based studio which makes a difference. The environment is welcoming, supportive and completely non-intimidating.The studio is meticulously maintained and always feels clean, calm and professional.The entire Uplift team, including Justin, are always friendly, encouraging and above all else - genuinely invested in their clients’ wellbeing.If you’re looking for a personalized and thoughtful approach to training, especially if you’ve struggled with injuries like I have, I can’t recommend Uplift highly enough.

I am a dad in my 40s with a disabled child. I needed to get stronger and stay injury-free to be able to meet my son’s daily needs, including lifting him off the ground and carrying him around safely. That was my biggest goal. I was referred to GIV (now Uplift) by a colleague who has been doing 1-on-1 personal training with Hossein for over six years. I am grateful for his knowledge, skills, and patience, which helped me not only become the strongest I have ever felt through expert strength coaching, but also massively improve my lifestyle. Training in an appointment-based studio like Uplift, with a great environment, non-intimidating, clean studio setup, made a huge difference. Hossein also helped me change the way I look after myself, and I must confess, this has been absolutely priceless.

One of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever stepped foot in. I’m currently getting 1-on-1 personal training with Hossein, focusing on strength coaching. I’ve trained in a few places and really like the easy going but high quality environment that Uplift offers me. It’s an appointment-based studio so you’re not battling with others to get equipment time and so it’s a great place to learn and develop.I’ve now started doing their calisthenics and mobility class which has proven beneficial for every day life as well as my sporting endeavours. Justin knows his stuff and provides several levels of exercise in the class from entry level all the way to the crazy stuff you see on TikTok - he’s promised me I’ll be able to do handstands by the end of the year, which at first I doubted, but after a couple of months I’m starting to believe!Combined with personal training with Hossein I’m now feeling better than any other point in my life. When I first started I could barely do a press up. Now I’m doing weighted pushups, pull ups and deadlifting double my own weight. Not bad for someone in his mid forties
