I’ve been training with Joris for the past 6 months, and it’s honestly been such a journey. He’s helped me build real strength and confidence, both physically and mentally. Every session has been a great mix of hard work, laughs, and that extra push to remind you that you’re capable of more than you think. What I really appreciate is how supportive and motivating he is — always knowing when to challenge you and when to encourage you. It’s never felt intimidating, just positive and empowering. I’m feeling stronger, more confident, and actually look forward to training (which I never thought I’d say!). If you want a PT who knows his stuff, makes training fun, and genuinely cares about your progress, then wholeheartedly recommend Joris
Up Fitness Laurence Nekooie My experience during the last three months with 2-3 times work out at UP Fitness Manchester have been absolutely exceeding my expectations. I chose UP Fitness because of the 1-2-1 approach with a designated PT supported by the app to be accountable for food and work out in support of this lifestyle change. Not only did I gain strength, lost the desired and aimed 8kg but I also gained clarity and confidence. I train horses and my core strength and balance are important; after several injuries, I am aware of an aging body and am interested in a long term fitness regime. My designated PT Laurence NeKooie is always responsive to questions, finds settings and routines aiming exactly to improve my fitness to help me improve in my other Sport. My performance went noticeably up in the % I gained with my horses in dressage and I gained success in several Championships. The sessions are always challenging and improving my strength. Engaging with UP Fitness and starting this new fitness regime made me settle in Manchester - we moved a bit over a year ago from Germany and every move (in total 12) takes it time and toll to find a healthy routine. I am aware of my aging body and with 55 years and having been engaged in competitive Golf, Tennis and Riding, my goal is it to age as fit as I can. I am at the right place with a very well chosen PT in Laurence NeKooie. Excited to see to which bodyfat % this journey will take us.
Been here since January. 35 pounds down already. Feel amazing. Kitti my PT has been amazing. Highly recommended. You literally can’t fail.
I've recently returned to UP and I am seeing incredible results in such a short space of time. The attention to detail and support from Steve and all the staff is second to none. I have to give a special mention to my PT Nelly, who always pushes me beyond what I believe to be my limits and is a constant pillar of support and guidance. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend UP to anybody. You really won't regret it!
I can wholeheartedly say it has been an outstanding fitness experience so far for me at UP Manchester and working with Joris Zandstra, I would recommend to anyone! The atmosphere at UP is incredibly motivating with a strong sense of community. The staff is always friendly and ready to assist, which makes a huge difference for anyone just starting out or getting back into fitness. The positive energy at UP Manchester is palpable, making it a place where I genuinely look forward to working out. The fitness area itself is impressive and features a wide range of modern equipment, allowing for a comfortable workout environment even during peak hours. I also appreciate the cleanliness and maintenance of the facility, and the workout area is well-kept and inviting. My transfer to Joris continues to be a transformative experience. He is genuinely invested in my success having understood my fitness background, goals, and limitations. Joris crafted a personalised training program that is both challenging and achievable. What stands out most about Joris is his ability to motivate and push me just the right amount. He provides constructive feedback on my form and technique, helping me improve with every session. This attention to detail has not only enhanced my performance but also built my confidence. In addition to training, Joris has offered me invaluable nutritional advice that has made a significant difference in my overall health and fitness journey. His recommendations were tailored to my lifestyle and preferences, which is making it much easier for me to stick to my goals. Since beginning my training at UP and with Joris, I have experienced notable improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I feel healthier and more energetic! The progress I’ve made has motivated me to keep pushing my limits. Overall, I highly recommend UP and especially Joris Zandstra to anyone looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, motivating, and truly dedicated to helping clients succeed. Whether you are a beginner or looking to take your training to the next level, Joris is your perfect partner to guide you on your journey to fitness.
