Join the World’s Leading Personal Training Team at UP: Manchester
At Ultimate Performance (UP), our purpose is simple but powerful: to unlock our clients’ potential and transform lives, one person at a time. We achieve this through the world’s most effective personal training system: The UP Method; built on data, science, and an unrelenting commitment to results.
We're now opening our next intake of exceptional Personal Trainers to join our Manchester team.
You can be as green and new to the industry as they come. Our goal would be to educate and mould you as one of the future leaders of U.P., just as we have already done with some of the Trainers who joined us as Associate trainers on our first Junior Training Scheme in 2012.
We are a meritocracy and only care about your ability to get the job done and your overall potential.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. Aptitude can be taught but you do need to look hard at yourself before you apply to UP. We are not an easy company to work for because we demand that you deliver your very best performance every single time. This is the UP way and it is a non-negotiable quality that we are looking for.
Alongside the right attitude, to even be considered for one of our coveted positions, we are looking for individuals who can demonstrate:

- A strong work ethic and growth mindset.
We’ll handle the rest through our industry-leading onboarding, mentoring, and development programme, designed to shape great trainers into world-class coaches, and future leaders.
The UP Way:
At UP, attitude is everything. We’re a demanding environment because we believe in pushing limits, yours, and your clients'. If you're driven by excellence, hungry for growth, and committed to delivering meaningful results, you’ll thrive here.
