THE METHOD

You don’t have time for a workout that doesn’t work.

You don’t need 4–5 trips to the gym every week to be strong, lean, and healthy.

At Ultimate Exercise Studio, you’ll complete a focused, one-on-one, professionally guided, high-intensity workout in just 20 minutes — and be on your way.

Our method is based on the research presented in Body by Science by Dr. Doug McGuff — showing that when you train your muscles to deep fatigue safely and efficiently, your body adapts more completely than with hours of traditional exercise.

We’ve refined this protocol for over 28 years, helping busy doctors, attorneys, executives, business owners and parents maintain elite strength and fitness — in a fraction of the time.

Why Ultimate Exercise?

Expert Trainers- Every workout is guided for safety and effectiveness.

As a teacher, wife, and mother, my time is limited and UE's training schedule works perfectly for our busy schedule. Throughout the years, training at UE has kept me strong, and I am thankful for the ability to work out privately instead of in a large gym with many other people. SuperSlow training is the best kind of exercise for me.

The training at Ultimate Exercise has given me just a little bit more, I guess what you call pep in my step every day. Since I've been training here, I have noticed a reduction in pain in my knees. I used to have some more issues with pain in my knees and also just moving equipment around and stuff has been a little bit easier too. One thing I really love about it is the minimal time commitment and combined with maximum amount of results. Being able to combine that has helped with my running a busy business and being busy every day, for 20 minutes in a week you get results from it.

I don't love to exercise, so the fact that I can be in and out in like 15 minutes is really great. And another thing is, the trainers have everything set up for you. You don't have to think about it, you just walk in and work out. As somebody who works full time, it's nice to have a set schedule and know that it's not gonna take up a lot of time. It's always gonna be the same amount of time. It's always gonna start and end at the same time, and that's really helpful when you're trying to fit it into a busy schedule.

This works with my schedule extremely well. I get to do all the fun exercises in half an hour, use different machines, one-on-one training, and I get to choose my time. I have gone skiing every year for the last 10-12 years. I can go on slopes, which were rough. Now I go with ease. So clearly it has helped me build my strength.

I've definitely gotten stronger, healthier, and have better endurance. So essentially, it's almost like I reversed age. I feel stronger now than I did when I started working, which is late 40s. There's no downside. I would definitely go for doing this type of workout. Unless you like the social aspect of a gym where you're there hours at a time.

When I started working out, my doctor was ready to start me on a bunch of pills, statins and high blood pressure medicine, and I decided to make a life change by coming in here. So, after a year went back to see the doctor. He couldn't believe the difference. All my numbers, my lab work was great and still 13 and a half years later, I'm still on zero pharmaceuticals. The benefits to your health are undeniable and very clear.

I think the biggest advantage of training here is that it's a big time saver. I have been doing some form of weight training since I was a teenager, but as I got older and more involved in my career, time was more restricted. It's very convenient to be able to work out once a week and get the same type of benefits from the exercise.

I think because I come here, I can do whatever I want in my life. I live on a really steep hill and I can run up it without much problem. I can go hiking, I can go kayaking, I can carry all the groceries. I never use a cart. My favorite thing about being here is that I know I'll never get hurt and I'm getting stronger every month and usually at my age you lose weight, lose muscle tone, but mine's getting stronger.

We drive over an hour each way to come here with my wife Judy. It is such a great atmosphere. The routine is very intense. I feel stronger today than I've felt in decades, and I've seen me making a little bit of progress on a regular routine almost every time I come in here. This is such a unique process that it's really hard to duplicate this on your own. I mean, it can be done, but you really do need to have a good coaching staff to help you go through this process and it has been life changing.

I like that I only come once a week and just for a short amount of time. It's just very convenient for me. The schedule is big. I always get to keep the same time. I like having a trainer. I enjoy visiting with them, getting to know them, and they keep me on track and keep me focused.

The thing I enjoy most about training at Ultimate Exercise is that it is time efficient. The equipment is top notch and it's one-on-one. Those are definitely the things that make it so worthwhile. I think the way that my life has improved that's most noticeable is that I feel more confident in doing things. You know, if I have to lift something, if I have to move something, I know that I have that strength there. I have that confidence that I'm fit and that I'm strong.

The results I've experienced have been fantastic. I've just become much, much stronger than I had been previously. I had some health issues, probably 10 years ago. Started working out about eight years ago, and I just kept getting stronger and stronger. I am currently almost 67 years old, and I can surf and ski and do anything that I want, hang out with the kids on the water and nothing slows me down. Hands down, it's just made my life way, way, way better. As you age, you start to lose muscle mass and that's just reality unless you do something about it.

I enjoy the slower pace of moving the weights. I have worked out the majority of my adult life. I've always been active from childhood. And while I was working, did exercises with people at lunch, you know, for those of us who are really wanting to be fit. You'll see people working out with weights and they're doing them very fast and you're not getting the maximum benefit out of the weight work. It's been a great benefit for us, my husband Charles and I. It's contributed to our having a more positive outlook and having energy.

It's so efficient. It's much better than all the gym type work I've done in the past. So that's the key attraction to me is once a week and that's the only physical strength training I have to do. I set myself goals of not necessarily getting much stronger, but in my seventies I don't want to get any weaker and that's certainly a goal that's been achieved in my time with Ultimate Exercise.
