About us

Owner and Coach at Ultimate Performance

Luke

I was born and bred in Murray Bridge and in 2014 having spent a number of years in Townsville I moved back with the dream to bring a difference to the area not only by transforming lives but to bring a real sense of community and somewhere that felt like home for everyone that came to UPFN. Having changed my life around by losing over 50kg I wanted to help others do the same. My passion is exactly that, wanting to bring the best out of everyone that comes to Ultimate Performance and to help as many people as I can, not just changing their lives but learn the process of it along the way and what works best for them. It’s not all about physical results for me, but seeing people grow as people in so many ways is what excites just as much and the connections people make with others at UPFN is unreal to watch. The ‘second home’ feeling is what it’s all about and I’m proud that the atmosphere created not just by myself and my team but everyone at UPFN is what it is today. Being able to relate to everyone that comes in whether it’s overweight people and all the mental and physical challenges that go with it, or fitness and sports performance is what sets me and the team apart in the area.

I am lucky to be married to Amy who is also one of our very passionate and amazing trainers. And with Myself, Amy and fellow team members Kate and Sally I am confident we have the best team to help anyone in the Murraylands for whatever goal they desire.

Coach

Amy

I am passionate about empowering, motivating & educating you on HOW to live a healthy and active lifestyle without resorting to extreme methods by taking the smart approach. I do this by leading an example and living a balanced, healthy life each day. With ongoing support daily to keep you on track with us here at UPFN.

I was at the point in life where years of a high stressful job with long hours and poor nutrition had me crashing. Add in a combination of not staying active and not much sleep, had me in all sorts of problems and I felt horrible.  It was starting to take a toll on my body and mental health as a whole.  That was my turning point where I realised, I needed to start moving more and ensure I got my nutrition under control.  I had to make these changes not only for me but my son, or his mother wouldn’t have been around to see his children. Safe to say I fell in love with how I felt and wanted everyone else to realise they can feel great too! I had so much more energy, felt better in my skin and my mental health improved so much, I never looked back!

I understand that everyone’s goals and journey are unique. Whether you are taking the first step to work on your health and fitness, perhaps needing a push to take it to the next level, a new mum wanting to lose post pregnancy weight or aiming to compete in body building or fitness competition, I’m  here to support you and help you reach your goals.

“We are the leaders in body transformations and achieving sustainability, with results that speak for themselves.”

Starting out my fitness career as a Personal Trainer, I decided to further myself by excelling as a manager of a large gym here locally. Fast forward to the start of 2019 I knew I was ready to take the next step.  I became a part of the team of experts here at Ultimate Performance Fitness and Nutrition where I now call home with our fitness community.  With over 6 years’ fitness industry experience I have helped change hundreds of lives, and spent over 6 thousand hours training clients to become a healthier version of themselves.  I furthered my certifications becoming an accredited Australian Institute of Personal Trainers Mentor. Also, the owner operator of TRX8 Suspension Training HQ, sister to Ultimate Performance Fitness & Nutrition. Currently studying in specialised female training, Pre & Post-natal.

Sally

I’m Sally – married to Scott and mum of three kids, Demi, Zoe and Jed.

I’m originally from NSW, but I’ve been living in SA for just over 20 years, and in Murray Bridge since 2007. I’ve done many things over the years, from studying media/arts at uni to being a police officer for five years, and then working as a media/communications officer across different government departments. My husband has always been a funeral director and we run our own business here in the Bridge, however I’m lucky enough to be able to combine this with working as a trainer for Luke at UPFN.

Fitness and good health has always been my absolute passion and I’m grateful to be able to share this passion with everyone who walks through the doors at UPFN. I love helping and seeing people reach their health and fitness goals, whatever they may be – my goal is to motivate and challenge you (never outside your limits though) to believe and achieve – anything is possible! I’m extremely grateful to work alongside three other awesome trainers in Luke, Kate and Amy and be part of the family that is UPFN.

• Certificate III in Fitness
• Currently studying for Certificate IV in Fitness
• Metafit/Metapwr trainer
• ZUU trainer and Certified Partner
• Ace Boxing certified

Kate

Hi I’m Kate, over the past 5 years I have devoted my body and mind to fitness. While health and physical education had always played a major role in my life, it was not until after having my fourth child that I took up a role with in the fitness industry and UPFN. Our amazing 12 week challenge is what got the ball rolling for me. I had great results and from there I studied my Cert 3 in fitness because I wanted to bring those results to you.

As you will find with all the trainers at UPFN, I have a broad range of qualifications in fitness;

• Cert III & IV in fitness (Australian Institute of Fitness)
• Qualified Metafit/Metapwr coach
• Silver level ZUU coach & certified partner
• Australian Combat + exercise boxing skills & fitness with the sports science of boxing
• crankitfitness
  – level 1 kettlebell course
  – level 1 & 2 suspension fitness course
  – kettlebell suspension fusion course

With a background in the Arts/Wedding photography and customer relations I am innately a people person, interested in the individual progress and how each body responds to different types of exercise.

I am also focused on motivating and constantly striving to inspire people through my fun and active approach to living a healthy lifestyle.
