Inflexion, a leading European mid-market private equity firm, is pleased to announce that it has invested in Ultimate Performance, the unique global, premium health and fitness platform.  The investment is being made by Inflexion’s dedicated lower mid-market fund, Enterprise Fund V.

Ultimate Performance was founded in 2009 and delivers high-end personalised training and nutrition programmes with a focus on clients making a significant lifestyle change.  The business delivers its programmes from 24 sites with a team of over 450 employees including 350 personal trainers, across the UK, US, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.  Ultimate Performance programmes are market leading with very high satisfaction scores from both clients and the personal trainers who build their careers backed by Ultimate Performance.

Ultimate Performance has a clear strategy - to double down on the strength of the core personal training proposition and continue rolling this out across the world.

Inflexion is backing the existing management team of Steve Brice (who is now stepping up to become Group CEO), Sean Murphy (Chief Personal Training Officer) and Mark Bohannon (Chief Experience Officer) all of whom have worked with founder Nick Mitchell for a number of years.  Simon McMurtrie, former Chair of Inflexion’s successful investment Virgin Experience Days, will be joining as Chair and Christian Jennings, former CFO of Virgin Experience Days, will be joining the team as CFO.

Ultimate Performance is a truly differentiated business with a strong global growth opportunity.  We look forward to supporting the team as they accelerate the growth of the business and expand its footprint.

Malcolm Coffin, Partner and Head of Enterprise Fund, Inflexion

Ultimate Performance is committed to changing the way our clients live. We are excited to be partnering with Inflexion to continue the growth of the business and in particular build its global presence.
