The 6 Week Programme at Unleashed Performance in Reading is a six week block of coached training for people who want to get their routine back. You can start any week, and the six weeks run from your first assessment.
The six weeks
Day one is a sit down with a coach to set your goals, take your measurements, do an InBody scan and set your nutrition targets. Weeks one and two are about getting back into a routine and getting your food under control. In weeks three and four you will feel stronger and see the numbers move. Weeks five and six are about making it stick. On day 42 you scan again and compare it with day one.
How you train
You train in the coached group sessions, up to six days a week between 6am and 8pm, with the support of the UP coaching team. Every session is coached and scaled, so it suits every level.
How the half back works
The half back rule is simple. Do your first assessment, turn up for fifteen sessions in the six weeks (about three a week), and do your final InBody scan. Do that and half of what you paid comes back to you, as a refund or as credit towards membership. Most people carry on as members afterwards with the same coaches.

Unleashed Performance at Reading is the best gym experience I've had in my life. I'm 49 and have been training almost all of it, so that's not said lightly. Tanya and James are brilliant. They encourage you, keep you accountable and help you finish what you start.

As someone who was completely new to the gym and had little idea where to start, the friendly, welcoming and supportive atmosphere made it so much easier to settle in. My personal training sessions with James have been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, supportive and motivating.
- Ewa SluzalekSeptember 2026
By far the best gym experience I have ever had! As someone who has always felt quite intimidated by regular gyms and overwhelmed by all the machines, I was looking for somewhere with more guidance and support. Unleashed Performance is exactly that and honestly so much more.

I came to Unleashed Performance as a complete beginner to strength training and quite honestly a little intimidated where to start. I started out pre diabetic with various red flags. My doc has given me a clean bill of health. UP Team played a huge part in that!
- Wilma SNovember 2025
I lived next to this gym for a year before signing up, as I was hesitant about nicer gyms feeling too intense and me sticking out like a sore thumb as a complete beginner. Now I can't imagine not being a member anymore, the value you get for your money is immense.

The workout programme changes every 8 weeks, keeping things fresh and challenging. Great mix of strength, HIIT, hybrid, endurance and yoga, with training that helps you improve both strength and stamina, whether for Hyrox, a marathon, or your own fitness goals.
- James BroomfieldAugust 2026
I've been going now for 18 months, a record length of time I've stayed at a gym. This is as a result of the excellent training, great facilities and warm and friendly trainers. The gym also runs frequent social activities which are welcomed as well.
- Lee MurraySeptember 2025
The extra bonus for me are the additional walking and trekking trips which Unleashed organise. Combining gym work with these outdoor activities provides me with a lifestyle experience I haven't been able to find before.
- Garry HigleyAugust 2026
The coached only group classes push you to work hard while making sure your technique stays on point. Since joining, I've made real progress and genuinely feel stronger, fitter, and more confident.
- Hernan PereyraAugust 2025
I really enjoy the group exercise sessions because it feels like having a personal trainer with you. The coaches also check in with you regularly about your progress and goals, which is really encouraging.
