I’ve Lost Over 60lbs!!!! I’ve gotten fitter and more confidant than ever!!!

I have been training with Marc at Ultimate Performance Training for over a year now and it truly has been a radical experience. First, I have lost over 60 lbs! Secondly, I have gotten fitter and more confidant than ever! Now that I have the results out of the way, I want to talk about the kind of trainer that Marc is:

You go to some gyms or workout locations, and it is obvious that the trainer doesn’t really see you. They are only there because they have to be. Marc truly cares for every one of his clients. He has this strong spirit that resonates through how he pushes and motivates you to be the best version of yourself. His passion makes me want to keep going and to reach my goals.

If you are looking for a personalized gym experience, look no further. Marc Manly and Ultimate Performance Training is not just a sign of a good workout (which it is) it is also a sign of one of the most dedicated, hard working, talented trainer in the area. -Daniel Sanchez, Pflugerville

Marc is an amazing personal trainer who keeps me on track and reminds me why I’m doing this!

It’s so easy to stop caring about your physical appearance. But you should never stop caring about your HEALTH. When I realized I genuinely couldn’t keep up just running around a field with my daughters, I was so embarrassed and ashamed. Out of breath from a 30 second jog. I still have a ways to go before I’m happy with my health, but just checking in to say, it’s hard work but it pays off. I find time where I can on the daily to work out and I do my best to stop the constant snacking and drinking. It’s helped but I’m ready to kick it into higher gear and shed the next 20 lbs. Marc is an amazing personal trainer who keeps me on track and reminds me why I’m doing this!

-Ashley, Pflugerville

“Things fit better; I have more energy and confidence.”

“I have been working out with Marc for over 4 years. I have never stuck to a workout routine this long and so consistent. He makes it very easy. The best thing is that I love my results. I look forward to getting dressed because I know things fit much better now and I have so much more energy and confidence. Marc is a pleasure to work out with and knows what he’s doing. He really cares about his clients too.”

-Melanie Knox

As a busy mom of 3, I’m now in the best shape of my life!

Before I came to Ultimate Performance Training, my stress levels were high, wasn’t sleeping well, low back hurt all the time, and wanted to make myself a priority but there wasn’t any time.
Since I started working with Marc, I’ve become the strongest version of myself.
I can now do 15 pull-ups (I couldn’t do 1), I’m making myself a priority, and I can now see my abs!!!

-Brooke, Pflugerville

“My aches and pains are drastically reduced”

Before coming to Ultimate Performance Training, I was lacking motivation, accountability, and decreased mobility in my hips in shoulders. As someone who preaches health and wellness to my clients and patients I knew I need someone who would keep me accountable, provide me structure with my training, increase my consistency, and help me get regain my mobility to improve my own health and wellness.

Since I starting training with Marc, my aches and pains are drastically reduced due to my increased mobility.
By training with him twice a week it’s helped me have more accountability to be more intentional with my at home workouts as well as improving my nutrition.

I highly recommend Ultimate Performance Training to my friends and patients because of how they treat each client as an individual with their own specific goals.
If you are looking for your own customized program that fits your lifestyle and helps you reach your health and wellness goals, Ultimate Performance Training is your fitness solution!

I have a new confidence in myself!

Before I started training at Ultimate Performance Training, I struggled with migraines, lack of mobility, and lots of pain in the left side of my body from a traumatic car accident. I wanted to stop being in pain and make myself a priority.

With juggling work and raising my sons, I wasn’t confident that I could add anything more to my plate. After I started working with Marc, he showed me that when I put my health first, I’m able to have more energy to help my sons and become more productive.

I have so much more confidence in myself, have developed healthy habits, and now make my health a priority! If you are looking for a coach that provides a high level of accountability, cares about you and your goals, and gives you the tools to live a healthier lifestyle, look no further than Ultimate Performance Training.

-Bianca, Pflugerville

This trainer knows what he is doing and the impact he has made on my physical self has been enormous!

I’ve been training with Ultimate Performance Training, for over 5 months. Marc said something to me the other day that is the core of his training regiment (for me at least) He said “My goal is to have you feel better when you leave then when you arrived” AND that he does! He is in tune with how hard I can push and always takes the time to help my aching neck, back and hips feel better before I leave.

He truly cares about the stressors I have (pets, sleep – and lack thereof, public speaking, family losses etc). He is quick to encourage, always has a positive attitude and lets me know how strong I’m getting (even on days when I don’t feel it). He took the time to send me a workout when I was going to be out of town. He shows me stretches to help me on days I don’t train. I have had back surgery, seen chiropractors, sports injury doctors, massage therapists etc. over the years without any lasting relief.
Marc noticed something in the way I stand, told me try a simple movement and within a week my lower back felt 1000 X’s better.

I say all this to let everyone know, this trainer has been enormous! I HIGHLY recommend his services to everyone who wants to feel better (and lose a few pounds in the process!)

“I am highly encourage anyone that is on the fence about using a personal trainer to read my review”

“I am a non stop business woman and step-mom. I don’t have time in my daily routine to fit in going to the gym -quite frankly because my daily routine is never the same. Marc keeps me accountable to show up at a frequency that works with my busy lifestyle. He is also flexible if I need to reschedule last minute. He understands that life happens. Because of Marc I am in the best shape I’ve been since high school. I have been working out with Marc for about a year now and he’s helped me reach numerous health goals.

My next one will be looking fabulous in my wedding dress! I know this review is long but if he can help me make working out a priority with everything else I have constantly going on, I know he will be able to help you as well. On top of that, going to see Marc is the highlight of my day. He makes me laugh and makes working out enjoyable after a stressful day at work! I highly recommend and am happy to answer any questions y’all might have!”-Rachel Dyess, Pflugerville

I feel better and my work days are less exhausting

“I am 44.
Hunched over from heavy lifting in front of me all day long. I told Marc I wanted to work on straightening myself up, my core. I really can’t say how he’s making it happen, but tonight I have entirely new muscle groups visible in my shoulders & back. I am straightening up and stretching out.I feel better and my work days are less exhausting. I’m sore most days but in a good way:).

His equipment is unique and top notch, the gym is sparkling clean, and the guidance that he provides every step of the workout is impeccable. Results oriented and effective!
Wish I had found Marc years ago.”
-Christie Bailey, Owner of Lucie’s Legacy

I’m learning to care about fitness again and realizing that it’s about so much more than simply “looking” better

“I’ve been working with Marc for almost 3 weeks now, had never worked with a trainer before or even gone to a gym much. I’m learning to care about fitness again and realizing that it’s about so much more than simply “looking” better. Being unrealistically gung-ho has lead to my downfall in the past so I’m committed to just being patient with the process this time. (Success WILL be mine if I’m consistent with my workouts and eat better; it doesn’t have to happen overnight.)

Marc is great and I highly recommend him! He’s encouraging and generous with his praise.”-Teresa Jimenez, Pflugerville

I have more energy and confidence in how I look

“I’ve been working with Marc for over two years and I feel amazing. As a busy mom and business owner, my schedule is jam packed. Marc’s customized approach to fitness has given me the consistency and accountability I’ve needed to help me be the best version of myself. I have more energy throughout the day my posture is better, I’ve gotten stronger, and I’m able to fit into clothes I haven’t been able to fit into in years.“
-Rosy, Pflugerville

“I have never met someone so passionate about his clients well being!”

“I have never met anyone so passionate and concerned about his clients well being.
Marc goes the extra step of even calling you to make sure you are ok and sending cards just to let you know he appreciates your business.
I highly recommend Marc and Ultimate Performance. It’s so amazing what he can get out of you in 30 minutes.”

-Robert Williams, Round Rock

“Marc takes the time to understand who you are before starting to design a program”

“Marc takes the time to understand who you are before starting to design a program.
You can tell by his programming that what you’re being asked to do reflects the specifics of your situation.
For those who want someone to help them keep at it Marc’s your man.”

-Kevin Cobourn, Austin

“I am noticeably stronger and ten pounds lighter!”

Turning 57 last summer, I set a goal for myself to work on building back some of the strength and range of motion I had when I was younger. I have had two back surgeries and wanted to be sure I worked with a trainer who could help me remedy these issues, but also keep my limitations in mind and help me build muscle and flexibility in a safe, slow manner.

As a result of working with Marc for a year, I am noticeably stronger and ten pounds lighter. Due to some targeted stretches in our workouts, I have improved my range of motion and overall flexibility. I would definitely recommend Marc to anyone looking for a personal trainer. His commitment to his clients is evident in each personalized, fun workout!

-Susan Seguin, Pflugerville

“My Core is Stronger and My Balance is Improved!”

“Marc has helped me become stronger and my balance is greatly improved!
He also helped me restore motion to my ankle and all of the pain in my leg is now gone! On a side note, I’ve also lost inches in my waist:)!”

-Susan, Elgin

I feel so much better after just 2 sessions!

“I’m blown away by how awesome Marc is! I feel so much better after just 2 sessions. We are working on my stability and flexibility and I know I’m in safe hands. He’s thoughtful and intuitive, making sure I work within my current range of motion, to achieve balance, before challenging my optimal range of motion. If you struggle with stability, Marc will work with you from the ground up! Highly recommend you contact him!”

-Becky Kelly

Working out with Marc is one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time.

“I’ve been working out with Marc for over 4 months now. I’m stronger and have better flexibility and mobility. I’ve got 20% more distance in my golf game due purely to flexibility. I’m feeling stronger and better than I have in years which is helping me in my business and personal life. Working out with Marc is one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time.”

-Steve Decovic

“Marc is a trainer who legitimately cares about his clients. I would recommend him to anyone!”

My goal in partnering with Ultimate Performance Training was to commit the time I had remaining before my wedding (about 6 months) toward getting on a consistent workout schedule and building muscle tone. I have tried working out on my own, but, unfortunately, doing so can be discouraging and all too easy to give up on. The accountability aspect of this training and Marc’s personal investment in my overall well-being were incredibly helpful. Marc did a great job with trying to keep me on a regular schedule, despite a lot of work stress and wedding planning I was going through! The workout routine greatly improved stability in my right knee, which had been giving me pain (my hip was not loading properly), increased my balance, and increased my strength. Marc is a trainer who legitimately cares about his clients. He tries to accommodate work schedules, genuinely listens to what your goals are, and develops a plan to help you improve in those areas. He is very encouraging and addresses multiple components that impact one’s health, such as nutrition, sleep, stress relief, and other tips to address issues that may be impacting someone’s overall health. I would recommend him to anyone!

“I can’t recommend Marc highly enough!”

“Marc has helped our son rehab from a nasty lower back injury. He’s an XXL football player, and Marc knew exactly how to tailor a rehab workout program for him that has been life-changing! I cannot recommend Marc highly enough. He knows his stuff and then some. Blessed!”

-Laura Phillips

“Working with Marc has been nothing short of spectacular

“Working out with Marc has loosened my shoulder and back muscles to have way better mobility!”

“For my career I stand on my feet 8-12 hours a day some days! And I’ve gotten horrible posture from it! Working out with marc has loosened my shoulder and back muscles to have way better mobility! He makes a workout routine formulated for me so I don’t feel like I have to keep up with other people or do exercise that will hurt me! He trains right out of his home, always greets everyone with a smile and is very easy and accommodating to schedule with!”

-Malessa Rucker

“Marc is always a joy to work with and is very encouraging”

“I have truly enjoyed my time with Marc. He is always a joy to work with and is very encouraging and helpful. He always knows exactly how to help, especially if you have any muscles or joints that are sore. I fully enjoy my training sessions with Marc.“

-Sheena Chun

“Marc is the best! He helped me to get rid of my back pain, increased my flexibility, and on top of that I am a lot stronger than I have been in a long time.”

“Marc is the best! I started seeing Marc about 9 months ago to help with my lower back pain. He helped me to get rid of my back pain, increased my flexibility, and on top of that I am a lot stronger than I have been in a long time. I also really appreciate how Marc takes the time to understand your individual situation and creates a program that works for you. I highly recommend.“

-Colin Williams

“Training with Marc at UPT has been good for my body and my soul.”

“I’ve always been very active. Over the past year, my body has become more stiff, sore, and lacking energy. Since I’ve started training with Marc, my body isn’t sore anymore when I wake up, my daily energy levels are through the roof, and I’m able to be more present with my family when I’m home. I love the training environment at Ultimate Performance Training!

Marc truly meets you where you are and develops a customized training plan that best fits your needs and goals. This has helped create more consistency for me in working out and help me get excited about training again! Training with Marc at UPT has been good for my body and my soul.”

-Loran Duncan

“I love my training sessions with Marc because I know I’m going to get amazing results and not get re-injured.”

“After a fall from a year ago, I’ve had constant left knee and right ankle pain. As a result of the chronic pain, I couldn’t work out anymore, and performing daily tasks became more challenging. Since starting my training program with Ultimate Performance Training, my knee and ankle pain are nonexistent. I’ve lost weight, have more endurance, and more importantly, my motivation for working out and staying in shape is through the roof! I love my training sessions with Marc because I know I’m going to get amazing results and not get re-injured. If you are serious about improving your health and wellness, I highly recommend Marc with Ultimate Performance Training!”

-Katia Forero

“My leg is stronger and my balance has improved”

“I had a couple of old leg injuries that were still causing me some issues even after physical therapy. As I’ve aged, I’ve found that my balance was not what it used to be. Marc used his expertise to determine what specific areas needed improvement and I noticed results even after the first visit. As a result, my leg is much stronger and my balance has drastically improved. I highly recommend Marc. Working with an expert like him who develops a personalized program for specific issues and goals makes a big difference!”

-Jeanne Garde

“I feel more confident in my clothes and have a lot more energy throughout the day.”

I highly recommend Ultimate Performance Training!”

“I had gained a lot of weight over a period of a few years, and it seemed like a daunting task to get back to a healthy weight. I have tried different types of physical exercises throughout my life in order to meet my fitness goals, but Marc’s training method has provided the most success in the shortest amount of time. I have lost 20 pounds and feel so much stronger. I have better balance and range of motion and my knees no longer give me problems. I continue to be optimistic about further weight loss; Marc is a fantastic trainer!

-Sandra Amason

“I have gained core strength and stability, decreased my back pain, and I have seen definite progress in my strength and mobility.”

“Marc is very knowledgeable about training and fitness—he is a great resource for various limitations you are trying to overcome, sources of pain, diet, home workouts, etc. Also, thanks to Marc’s knowledgeable guidance and creative approach to training, I have been able to push myself without injuring my back. I have gained core strength and stability, decreased my back pain, and I have seen definite progress in my strength and mobility.”

“UPT has helped me with my goal of running a half marathon. I have become stronger, more flexible, and my endurance has increased; all helping me to run faster and longer. “

“Resistance training through UPT has helped me with my goal of running a half marathon. I have become stronger, more flexible, and my endurance has increased, all helping me to run faster and longer. Marc Manly is an experienced and skilled trainer. He has a clear understanding of each muscle group, joint, etc. and how they work in the body. He is extremely conscientious in the area of avoiding injury; therefore he explains thoroughly all exercises and makes sure every client is doing each correctly. He is trained to work with those with injuries, so he is knowledgeable in modifying activities for individuals as needed. Marc is also consistently checking on his clients throughout the week, giving them encouragement and suggestions in areas needed. It has been a wonderful experience working with Marc, and I believe anyone who trains with UPT will benefit greatly from his training.”

–Katherine MacLaren

“I’d tried everything in the past from training for a marathon to being a part of different boot camps but nothing worked. Marc customized a training program that helped my body have greater mobility, get rid of my aches and pains, and increase my daily energy levels.”

“When I first came to see Marc I had no desire to exercise, my energy levels were extremely low, and my body was sore.

I’d tried everything in the past from training for a marathon to being a part of different boot camps but nothing worked.

I needed a training program that was going to help me get back to moving consistently and have the energy to walk for 45-60 minutes a day (my favorite exercise). Marc customized a training program that helped my body have greater mobility, get rid of my aches and pains, and increase my daily energy levels.

–Katherine MacLaren

“Not only did Marc help me with my overall strength to help sideline injuries at my job, but I also love how it made my body look!”

When I started working with UPT, I initially wanted to be stronger so that I could prevent an injury at work. What I got from it was so much more! Not only did Marc help me with my overall strength to help sideline injuries at my job, but I also love how it made my body look! As a runner, I frequently had issues with one of my feet. Marc was able to determine the problem, and knew how to fix it! Running is even more enjoyable now, as I know how to prevent the same problems I always seemed to have. I really feel like my workouts were specifically and personally designed to meet my goals. Marc creates a really positive and encouraging atmosphere, and it is great to train with him! I would definitely recommend UPT for anybody wanting to take that step into changing their body for the better!

-Kelly Marcello

Marc was able to develop a training program that fit around my schedule. I can see and feel my body changing in a positive way! He was the reason for my success.”

“I came to Ultimate Performance Training to find a solution to help me get back into shape after having my second child. Being a mom of two and have a busy career, there’s not a lot of time for me to workout. Marc was able to develop a training program that fit around my schedule so working out wouldn’t become a burden to me. I can see and feel my body changing in a positive way! I am seeing more definition in my legs for sure and my hips and thighs are starting to slim down as well! Marc is a wonderful coach! He is very encouraging and supportive.
He will bend over backwards to help you reach your goals. He was the reason for my success. I can’t say enough good things about Marc at Ultimate Performance Training!”

-Mandy Botts

“I have lost the weight I wanted to lose. I am stronger and definitely quicker on the tennis court. It has been a great experience for me working out at Ultimate Performance Training.”

“I play a lot of tennis and have always done various sorts of exercise. But never personal training. An acquaintance turned me on to Marc at UPT and it has been a blast working with him for the past few months.

I love to play tennis, run and do a variety of exercise classes. In the last couple years though, I have gained a bit of unwanted pounds and I felt like I was weaker in general with various aches and pains. (Hip, shoulder, foot and neck pain) It seemed like the more I tried to exercise, the more little injuries popped up.

Marc has been great for me. I tend to overdo things, exercise being one of them. Marc has taught me that I don’t have to kill myself in the effort of seeing great results. I don’t have to do a million crunches, pulling neck muscles in the process, to get my core the way I want it to look. He has shown me new ways to stretch to prevent injury and new strategies toward my exercise regime that have shown results that I am very happy with. He has shown me that I really don’t have to be in complete and utter pain/exhaustion to accomplish the goals I am trying to achieve…losing some weight, fitting better in my clothing and feeling better overall, pain free.

I have lost the weight I wanted to lose. I am stronger and definitely quicker on the tennis court. But probably most important is that my aches and pain are way more minimal to what they were when I started with Marc. He finds a great balance for me in terms of pushing myself but not overdoing it. It has been a great experience for me working out at UPT.

-Kim Mooney

“Working out with Marc is the best use of my time and money. At 41 I am stronger, faster and leaner then I have ever been. And my clothes fit better too!”

“Working out with Marc is the best use of my time and money. He is extremely encouraging; he corrects and pushes when necessary all the while keeping us laughing. He also helps us with aches and pains. My shoulder has never felt better. I admire and trust Marc so much that my daughter works out with us now. I feel better mentally and physically after every training session. At 41 I am stronger, faster and leaner then I have ever been. And my clothes fit better too!”

–Melissa Tankersley

“I feel stronger, more toned, and less prone to injuries.”

“Because of my training with Ultimate Performance Training, I feel stronger, more toned, and less prone to injuries. Marc is very encouraging, never pushy or critical.

The atmosphere is very fun and comfortable. I walked and ran but was really missing out on the strength training. Plus, I had no idea what exercises to do to help troubled areas like my knees, and now I do! I’ve shed pounds and built stronger muscles and bones, which is important at my age! I would never do the weight training on my own.”

–Carol Bockhorn

“My blood pressure has decreased and I’m weaning off that medication, my range of motion has increased dramatically and my energy level is higher than it has been in years.”

“I am getting healthy and fit the right way, not with chemicals and fad diets.
Marc has helped my bad knee.
He watched me walk and began working on my heels at the beginning of each training session so that I could have more mobility in them.

It’s really helped!
I was amazed Marc could see that the limited motion in my heel was creating pain in my knee.

Marc is always upbeat and encouraging, my blood pressure has decreased and I’m weaning off that medication, my range of motion has increased dramatically, and my energy level is higher than it has been in years.”- Dan Campbell

“My blood pressure has decreased and I’m weaning off that medication, my range of motion has increased dramatically, and my energy level is higher than it has been in years.”

“I’ve battled with my weight fluctuating up and down for years.
I’ve tried all of the fad diets, skipping meals, and my relationship with food was based on fear. Doing any type of resistance training was scary and I didn’t know what to do. Training with Ultimate Performance Training has been a God send!
I no longer am scared to go out to eat anymore. No matter what the environment, food is no longer a punishment or a reward. Resistance training is so much fun!!!
I’ve accomplished so many personal goals. I can now do pushups on the ground.
I’ve lost over 40 inches, love how I look in my clothes, and have more confidence than I know what to do with! I highly recommend Ultimate Performance Training to anyone who’s looking to transform their life!”

– Timi Anderson

“My low back, knee and shoulder pain is completely non-existent.”

“After serving over a decade in the British military, my body has begun to break down from all of the stress and trauma it suffered from training in combat boots and carrying 75lb. packs on a daily basis.

For the past 2 years, I’ve had to give up rock climbing, working out, and being active due to pain in my low back, knees, elbows, and shoulders. As a result this has greatly reduced my quality of life.

Since I started training with Ultimate Performance Training, my low back, knee and shoulder pain is completely non-existent. I’m now able to workout and be active again without having to be affected by nagging aches and pains anymore.”

–Jason Dennis
