Old City is one of Philadelphia’s most recognizable neighborhoods, combining historic architecture, residential buildings, restaurants, galleries, and professional offices.
Residents living near Market Street, Chestnut Street, Arch Street, Race Street, and the Delaware River waterfront can access The Summit’s Washington Square studio without traveling to another part of Philadelphia.
Our Washington Square personal training studio is located at 713 Walnut Street, making it particularly convenient for those living or working in the southern and western portions of Old City.
For people who already walk throughout Center City, having a personal trainer near home or work can make maintaining a regular exercise schedule considerably easier.
Whether you prefer training before work, during a break in your day, or after returning home, our 30 minute and 60 minute sessions provide flexibility for different schedules.
Many people want the benefits of a gym but dislike the environment of large commercial fitness centers.
Crowded exercise areas, waiting for equipment, and uncertainty about which exercises to perform can make workouts less productive.
At The Summit, we specialize exclusively in one on one personal training.
Every session is focused on one client and one trainer, allowing your coach to provide individualized instruction, monitor exercise technique, and make adjustments as needed.
Your trainer develops a structured program that progresses over time rather than simply choosing a different collection of exercises for each workout.
This approach is especially valuable for individuals who want to maximize their time, receive consistent accountability, and feel confident that their workouts are appropriate for their goals.
Our private studio provides a clean, quiet, and professional environment where you can focus entirely on your training.
Old City is home to professionals, business owners, and residents with demanding schedules.
Long hours at a desk, frequent meetings, commuting, and other responsibilities can make regular exercise difficult to prioritize.
For many people, the solution is not spending more time in the gym. It is following a structured training program that makes effective use of the time available.
Our personal trainers develop individualized strength training programs that emphasize progressive resistance exercise, efficient workouts, and consistency.
Depending on your goals, your program may focus on:
Our approach to personal training for busy professionals focuses on helping clients make meaningful progress while balancing demanding careers and personal responsibilities.
With both 30 minute and 60 minute training sessions available, we can recommend a schedule that works with your lifestyle.
Staying strong and physically capable becomes increasingly important with age.
Natural changes in muscle mass, bone density, balance, and mobility can affect everyday activities, but a properly designed resistance training program can help older adults maintain or improve their physical abilities.
At The Summit, we work with adults of different ages and experience levels, including clients who are beginning strength training later in life.
Our approach to strength training for adults over 60 emphasizes maintaining muscle, improving balance, developing functional strength, and supporting long term independence.
Programs are tailored to each individual’s abilities, exercise history, and goals.
For some clients, that means improving the strength needed to climb stairs, carry groceries, or walk comfortably throughout Philadelphia. For others, it means maintaining an active lifestyle that includes travel, recreational sports, and other physical activities.
We also offer personal training for seniors in Society Hill and Old City, with individualized exercise programming focused on strength, mobility, balance, and everyday function.
An effective exercise program should help you move better as well as become stronger.
Limited mobility, poor balance, and reduced movement confidence can interfere with exercise performance and everyday activities.
Our trainers incorporate mobility training into individualized programs when appropriate, helping clients improve joint movement, muscular control, and functional flexibility.
Training may address:
These exercises are integrated with progressive strength training to create a comprehensive program based on your individual needs.
For clients with previous injuries or physical limitations, exercises can be modified to accommodate their current abilities.
Old City residents have access to a variety of fitness options, including residential exercise rooms, traditional gyms, and home workout equipment.
However, having access to equipment does not automatically mean you’re following the most effective program for your goals.
Without professional guidance, it can be difficult to determine which exercises to prioritize, how much resistance to use, how frequently to train, and when to increase the difficulty.
At The Summit, your trainer makes these decisions based on your progress and individual needs.
Every workout is part of a larger plan designed to help you improve over time.
Rather than guessing what to do next, you receive clear instruction, appropriate progression, and consistent accountability.
For people who value their time and want to make the most of their exercise routine, this individualized approach can make a meaningful difference.
The quality of your personal trainer matters.
Every trainer at The Summit holds a college degree in exercise science or a related field, providing a strong educational foundation in human movement, anatomy, physiology, and exercise programming.
Our trainers use this knowledge to develop personalized programs that reflect each client’s abilities and objectives.
Rather than relying on generic workouts, we focus on selecting appropriate exercises, teaching proper technique, and adjusting training variables to support continued progress.
Whether your goals involve strength, body composition, mobility, or general fitness, our trainers provide professional guidance throughout the process.
For Old City residents seeking a knowledgeable personal trainer rather than simply access to a gym, The Summit offers a higher level of individualized instruction.
Finding time to exercise consistently can be challenging, especially for professionals with demanding schedules.
The Summit offers private personal training sessions in both 30 minute and 60 minute formats.
Thirty minute sessions provide focused, efficient workouts for individuals who want to incorporate exercise into a busy day.
Sixty minute sessions allow additional time for comprehensive strength training, mobility work, and other individualized programming needs.
Your recommended session length and training frequency will depend on your goals, experience, and schedule.
Our memberships are month to month, with personal training packages starting at $565 per month.
You can work with your trainer to develop a realistic exercise schedule that supports consistent progress.
Progress involves more than changes on a bathroom scale.
Improvements in muscle mass, body fat, strength, and physical performance can provide a more complete picture of how your body is responding to training.
At The Summit, we use InBody body composition analysis to help clients monitor changes in skeletal muscle mass, body fat, and other body composition measurements over time.
This technology provides useful information for clients who want to increase lean muscle, reduce body fat, or maintain muscle mass as they age.
Combined with improvements in strength and exercise performance, body composition measurements can help you and your trainer evaluate progress and adjust your program when appropriate.
