My wife surprised me on my 65th birthday with a membership in Ultima Fitness. I've never been a fan of working out and almost didn't graduate college because I skipped most classes.
However, Benny took me by the hand and showed me that working out can be fun. He also has a Master's Degree in nutrition and encouraged me to change my diet and lose weight.
So now I'm 79 and I have to admit it's been a long term (14 years) valuable experience for me. Even my wife joins me from time to time and speaks highly of Benny and the amazing trainers he has had over the years. His

This gym is about results. It is 100% personal 1 on 1 training. I was looking to get back in shape and improve my health. Guidance on eating, vitamins, when to exercise, with the one on one focus really helped me surpass what I thought was possible. I got “Gains”. Got Healthy, Lost fat. Gained strength and muscle. Great Gym and staff – trainers.

Benny is the best! I have all sorts of medical issues and Benny designs great workouts that don’t negatively impact my previous injuries. He’s like a walking encyclopedia of all things health related including nutrition and supplements. I highly recommend Ultima Fitness!

This place deserve no star.
THIS PLACE IS SCAM!!!!! please don't waste your money. This guy Benny is very friendly at first but after he get your money then he shows his true color. Me and my wife joined his classes in December but we told him in starting that we will be going to California in start of new year and he said ok . He can compensate the classes after we come back. But when we came back from California. My wife got sick and was Covid + , we called him and told about the situation that we cannot go continue the classes then he started cursing me. We paid $890 for 12 sessions

Excellent gym and trainers. In just 8 weeks I’ve gotten stronger, leaner, and made many positive changes to my lifestyle. Love the family atmosphere, and for the first time ever I actually enjoy going to the gym. Trainers Benny and Pedro are very experienced and keep the workouts fresh and fun. They have the right balance of motivation and kindness to get you through your workout, and leave with a smile.
Update: A year later my husband and I continue to be impressed with our personal trainer Pedro's expertise, personalized training sessions, and plan. During this past year it has been comforting

The best in town!
I met Benny (the owner ) after my husband went on a search for a personal trainer that can fit both of our lifestyles . My husband is extremely high energy and needs someone who can handle him. I’m more mellow in comparison to my husband . What I liked about Benny is that he listened to both of our concerns /goals . I feel that with other trainers is always very cookie cutter . The trainer does the same workout with all clients .
I’m a believer that your workout should be customized to the clients needs/wants and Benny truly does that . He is also extremely concern about

This is a great personal training gym! All the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and lots of fun. The owner, Benny, will help you with meal plans and get you on a path for overall healthiness. They encourage coming to do cardio on days your not training which is big bonus. And...you'll feel like your part of a family as you get to know other members. Lots of us have been going for decade(s). Excellent for all ages and fitness levels. Love me some Ultima Fitness!

Love Ultima Fitness. I was a bit nervous going in because I had not worked out in over 20 years. However, Benny takes the time to talk with you and determine how to help you achieve your fitness goals. He includes nutrition counseling and provides sample meal plans tailored to you. I am very happy with the improvement in my strength and muscle tone.

I’ve been working out with Benny for 8 or so months now and I’m very pleased. He has a very calm and kind demeanor, and extensive nutritional and fitness knowledge. My favorite part is that we don’t repeat exact sets (he changes it up even though we work the same body parts), so I don’t have anything to dread! I do two sessions a week and am loving it. I definitely feel healthier and more fit and enjoy coming here. Family environment. I highly recommend Benny and his team!

Ultima Fitness is a neighborhood workout facility that offers personal training and a wide range of equipment to allow you to exercise all of your muscles and to gain cardiovascular fitness. I especially love working with Bennie who combines motivational and supportive encouragement with perfection; I saw changes in my fitness within 2-3 weeks of weekly sessions. Moreover, I never leave my personal training sessions feeling too sore as if I have worked too hard. Ultima offers a great facility for anyone who wants a neighborhood fitness experience.

I've had an excellent experience here. I've had multiple trainers over the years and Benny has by far been the best (as have the results in a relatively short time frame). These guys pay close attention to where you're starting from, what you need / what your goals are, and all of that across the spectrum (strength, conditioning, nutrition). So glad I didn't sign up at the massive gym down the street.

Ultima Fitness is fantastic. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging no matter what your fitness level and I have been treated like family from the first time I went there. Benny and Nathan takes a personalized approach to fitness and I can see and feel the difference in my overall health. I have played tennis all of my life and had been told that my back problems as a result of my sport could not be helped. Benny took the time to get to know me and worked with me on a specific plan to address my issues and I have seen tremendous progress in just a few months!

Fourteen years ago we found this amazing gym...every single member of our family has trained there for years. I have seen people transform themselves here both physically and mentally. Train here and you are family...instantly! Ultima has a number of long term clients which says a lot. The experience is very personal with the belief that you will make progress. If you have a high end student athlete that is looking to supplement their training this is an excellent facility (they do no believe in stressing young joints with weights but working with the athlete and their sport to improve performance

Ultima Fitness is a great local gym owned by a terrific trainer, nutritionist and former professional body builder...Benny. UF is a no frills gym for people that want to get a great workout with great trainers without all the overhead and pretentiousness of one of the big chain gyms. I feel healthier, stronger and ultimately happier than I have in years. You get true personal training. They care about your health and cater to every individual's goals and needs. And it's huge bonus that Benny, Shane, Nathan and the other members also become your friends. I can't say enough about

This place is great! Its a small gym but it has everything you need. Right in the heart of Plano this gym has every piece of equipment you need. Their personal training staff is amazing! This gym is for a more mature crowd. Most people in here over 40. So you are in and out. Not a meat market. They play music in here, so its up beat and great energy in the building

If you are looking for true professionals to train you to be the best you can be, you need to go to Ultima Fitness. I have never felt better in my whole life. I am stronger and healthier than I have been since I was a teenager. I have lower cholesterol and my blood pressure is great. I have more energy and feel less stressed. I routinely work out with both Benny and Nathan. They are both excellent trainers. They keep the workouts challenging and different. You will never get bored, I can guarantee it. It is a small gym and everyone makes it feel like you are working out with family. Both my kids
