No, UP also brought over some of their London trainers who are putting any new to UP trainers through a pretty intensive training programme (I've seen it in action - it's brutal). The owner of UP has also been out to HK and put the staff through their paces, and there are mutterings that Charles Poliquin himself will be visiting at some point.
I've noticed that some of the other HK gyms (not naming names but certain big chains) are trying to either bad mouth UP or sneak in to find out what their "secret" is. I suggest to anyone who's interested in UP to actually go and have a session with them and make your own mind up.
