About Ultra Fit
Four Decades Of Real Transformations
Ultra Fit started with one mission: to change lives through fitness. John DeFendis built the program in 1982 and has spent over 40 years proving that the right knowledge and the right coach change everything. Thousands of transformations later, that mission is stronger than ever.
Today Ultra Fit trains clients across the Upstate with directors and personal trainers in Greer, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Simpsonville. Every program runs on the same proven method: torch weight, rebuild the body, and get real results. No cardio grind. No empty promises. Just a plan that works.
The Best Investment You’ll Ever Make
Hiring an Ultra Fit personal trainer is one of the best investments you can make for your health, your life, and your family’s future. Why Ultra Fit? Because we’ve got the KNOWLEDGE and the EXPERIENCE to guarantee your weight loss and body transformation EVERY TIME. Nobody else can say that. Nobody. We’ve got thousands of before and after testimonials, and no other training organization comes close.
Knowledge And Experience Change Everything
Without the right knowledge, you hit the gym day after day and make little to no progress. That’s the difference Ultra Fit brings. John created the program in 1982 and holds dozens of doctor endorsements dating from the 80s to today for his work in weight loss, health, and body transformation. Our program was even approved by the Congressional Medical Staff in Washington, DC when John was hired to train the Speaker of the House along with several Senators and Congressmen. This is a proven system, backed by real results.
A Story That Started With His Mother
John’s mission is personal. In 1968, his mother suffered the first of several heart attacks. Years later, armed with everything he’d learned about training and nutrition, John helped her lose nearly 180 pounds and transform her health. That experience revealed his purpose. Over 42 years, more than 700 Ultra Fit trainers have carried his program to tens of thousands of clients. He’s also coached over 600 champions in bodybuilding, figure, bikini, and physique competitions. His mother turns 91 this year, living proof of what this work can do.
