Did you know? 5 out of 6 weight loss attempts fail

And that's being generous. Across 14,306 US adults, only 17.3% had taken off 10% of their weight and held it for a single year (NHANES). Up to 25% of what they lost was lean muscle mass rather than fat, and the worst part is that most of them began regaining the body fat within months.

Exercise isn't a primary driver of weight loss, but lifting weights is what decides how your body ends up looking as the pounds come off.

The diet was never the problem

Randomized trials have put the popular diets head to head and found none of them superior to another, with heavy dropout rates across the board. Success came to the few who were able to stay in a calorie deficit long-term without disrupting it.

Our 15 years of practice with thousands of clients shows the same obstacles. It's hard to maintain a diet when you have social events to attend, travel for work, and a family to cook for. Even if you exercise 3-4 hours and eat well 5-6 days of the week, a single day of overeating can reverse all of that effort.

So we introduced a system that works

We designed an evidence-based all-inclusive program and priced it as one affordable flat rate, so that cost is never the reason you train less or get less access to the diet, tracking, and accountability tools that you need. There are a number of things that need to be in place at the same time:

3-4x/week resistance training, so that you lose fat instead of muscle, and so that you see us and the other clients often enough to stay motivated
Consistent calorie-reduced eating, all seven days of the week
24/7 support
Tracking of your progress in a phone app that we can both see
Weekly manual diet review and check-ins, plus a formal evaluation every six weeks with a body composition scan included
Our own proprietary AI agent that reviews your food log daily and flags missed entries, deviations, and outliers - and then pushes us notifications for manual review so that we don't miss anything

The part we can't do for you

Even though we offer every possible advantage for you to succeed, it still isn't enough on its own. You have to be the one who decides to make a real change for yourself. You need to fully commit, and you need to be prepared to make sacrifices. You have to accept that your choices and your behavior will be different from those of your family and your friends. How else can you be the 1 in 6 who succeed?

Are you ready to get into the best shape of your life? If you are, we would be glad to do it with you. Book your free assessment now to lock in this rate, so that we can meet you, learn about you, and walk you through the program.

I've been blown away by the exceptional service and expertise at UTG. As a gym rookie, I needed guidance, and I wasn't disappointed. I've been a member for 3 months and I've lost nearly 25 pounds.

A Google search led me to Unique Training Group. After dropping 30 pounds on my own through walking and intermittent fasting, I was struggling to lose additional weight to reach a healthy BMI. I knew I needed help, and UTG was the answer.

I love this gym!! I’ve worked with numerous trainers prior to joining UTG and I was never able to hit my weight goals. But Tamir and these guys have brought me real results! I lost 15 lbs in 2 months and feel stronger and leaner already.

I've been at UTG for almost a year now! They have been so helpful and useful. In only 6 months I lost 28 pounds. I didn't even know I had 28 pounds to lose. My strength has grown immensely.

Have questions about what you should be eating? How many calories you should be intaking in a day? When you should be eating? How much protein you need? When to drink your protein? Ever wonder why you lose weight but then gain it all back?

Before you ask

Common questions

Does my rate go month-to-month after August?

Yes. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, and your first month is fully refundable.

As long as you book your free assessment now, you lock in this rate forever. Simple as that.

There is no obligation to buy. The consultation holds your rate.

We don't believe in forcing anyone into a contract. We prefer to show you how valuable our service is.

Do you provide meal plans?

Yes, we create custom meal plans on request, based on your preferences, needs, and lifestyle. But we don't recommend it.

Research favors strict repetitive diets for weight loss. We prefer it ourselves. But in practice what we see is that most clients struggle to stick with it because of social / lifestyle factors.

If you can't actually stick to a rigid meal plan long-term, then it simply isn't the right path for you.

How does the diet coaching work?

We set a calorie goal at your consultation, built from the data we gather about you rather than a template.

From there, all you have to do is eat generally healthy food - whatever that means for you - and stay under that number. Our job is keeping you motivated and accountable while you do it.

We set you up on a food tracking app and monitor it alongside you. Depending on what you need and how much structure you want, we'll review it daily or default to a weekly check-in. We measure once a week to see what's moving and where you're getting stuck.

Every six weeks we pair that with your 3D body composition scan to look at long-term progress, reassess your goals, and adjust the programming.

And nobody gets shamed for going off plan. Consistency is what makes this work, but nobody is perfect. We'd rather you shake off a bad week and get back to it than sit in it.

How often should I train?

Human studies overwhelmingly show a direct correlation between total volume (how many sets you hit per muscle group each week) and muscle growth. Splitting that volume across multiple weekly sessions is the absolute best practice.

Traditional training programs don't factor this in. Instead, they force you to pay per session, often in expensive packages. To achieve the high frequency required for real results, your costs quickly skyrocket into the thousands (e.g., 3x/week at $125/hour equals $1,500+ every month). To make it worse, those trainers don't even track your workouts or follow basic periodization science.

At $829 for unlimited 1-on-1 coaching, our system aligns perfectly with evidence-based practices. Someone training 3x/week pays roughly $69 a session. That price even includes the nutrition coaching and advanced tracking most facilities charge extra for - if they even offer it. We never cap your frequency. Many of our clients train 4 to 6 times a week. We will even run double-daily sessions if your specific program calls for it.

How hard should I train?

When it comes to body transformation, training intensity is the single most important factor. To trigger muscle growth / tone, your working sets must be taken close to failure. However, those sets must still be executed with a full range of motion, strict form, and proper recovery management.

If you are completely new to training, we will build your baseline slowly to protect your joints and avoid injury. Training hard does not mean you need to lift dangerously heavy weights. It simply means you must lift a manageable weight close to failure - ideally within 2 to 5 reps of your absolute limit. And no - women will not become "bulky."

This is exactly why group training programs (i.e. Orange Theory, Crossfit, etc.), bootcamps, and high-intensity classes fail to deliver real body composition changes. They completely miss what actually matters: lifting weights, getting close to failure, and doing it consistently.

Do I need to do cardio?

No. Cardio being required for weight loss is one of the most persistent myths in fitness, and the math doesn't support it. You can't out-run a bad diet. But eating fewer calories, on its own, reliably moves the scale.

That said, in moderation cardio on top of a sound lifting and eating program can speed things up. In excess however, it starts working against you by cutting into recovery.

What about walking?

In theory, any extra movement burns more calories, so it should help as long as your diet stays consistent. In practice the human data is mixed, because your body compensates - add planned activity and you often move less the rest of the day without noticing. You fidget less, you sit more.

So walk because it's good for you and easy to keep up, not because you're banking on the calories.

What if I travel a lot?

Just tell us the dates and we'll freeze your membership for the time you're away. Tracking and check-ins continue the entire time you're away, frozen or not. You don't pay for any of it.

Travel is where most weight loss plans come apart. It's hard to control your food when you're eating out every night, and hotel gyms rarely have the equipment you need.

So we plan around it. We'll discuss a food plan for the trip, and help you find a gym nearby. Your whole program lives in the app, so you can follow it anywhere.

Will I get bulky from lifting?

Men grow. Some grow slowly and struggle with it - usually the ones eating or training less than they think.

Women don't see substantial differences in size, with rare exceptions. And you can normally spot the exceptions before they've lifted anything: they have bigger frames to begin with. Broader shoulders, thicker joints, more skeletal size overall. The woman who looks big after two years of lifting was built to look big.

There's an anatomical reason it stays hidden for females. Women's subcutaneous fat layer is about twice as thick as men's, so the same amount of added muscle reshapes a man's silhouette and disappears under a woman's. The muscle is there. It just doesn't protrude.

What you get instead as a woman, is firmness and definition, plus the fuller look that trained muscle carries. The lift without the size.

I'm really out of shape. Will I feel out of place?

You won't be alone - you'll find every type of person here, wherever you are in your journey. Our culture is warm, encouraging and genuinely friendly.

Proper periodization is unique to each individual. That's what the consultation is for... to learn about your goals and requirements.

At minimum we differentiate between beginner/untrained, intermediates, and advanced individuals. It also doesn't matter what anyone else is doing, you'll be on your own unique program.

Can you train around an injury or a medical condition?

We are experienced with post-physical therapy, rehab, corrective exercise, and much more. We can design any type of program that works around any issues. No limitations. And we will coordinate with your health provider if necessary.

What are the hours?

Mon-Fri 5-11am and 4-9:30pm

Sat 7am-12pm.

How soon will I see results?

Lifting weights - you'll feel it within a couple weeks. You'll feel a lot more within the first 4-6 weeks. Quality of life substantially improves fast.

Weight loss is directly correlated with your diet. So as soon as you go into a sustained calorie deficit, you'll see the scale move downward. As long as you persist in a calorie deficit, the scale will continue to move in that direction.
