Train with Insight

Understanding your body is critical to establishing achievable fitness goals and informing optimal workout plans. As a client at The Summit, your body composition is measured using the InBody 570 during your first session. This device measures the amount of fat, protein, minerals, and water in your body which informs you and your personal trainer how many pounds of fat and muscle you need to gain or lose to reach your goals. Arms and legs are measured separately to identify muscular imbalances or areas of weakness that need to be addressed to avoid future injuries. After the initial assessment, measurements are collected throughout your fitness journey to ensure that you and your personal trainer remain on track towards your goals.

Going to the gym is a different experience for everyone. Some people love it, some people loathe it. But regardless of what your feelings are towards the gym, everyone is there for the same reason – to get results.

Getting results means something entirely different for each gym-goer. Some people are focused on improving their general fitness while others focus on weight loss or strength training. No matter what your personal fitness goals are, you won’t achieve them if you don’t understand what to do at the gym.

What to Expect

After contacting us, you’ll be taken through our step-by-step system to make sure you receive your desired results.

1. Free Consultation

The consultation starts with you telling us what you’d like to accomplish with your fitness goals. We’ll chat about your general health, your current exercise regimen, and any medical or injury history that will affect your training. We’ll pass this information to your personal trainer so they have everything they need to know to help you. We’ll also tell you everything you need to know about pricing, logistics, and membership. If you’re ready to sign up, all paperwork can be handled in person or over the phone/email and your assessment will be scheduled.

2. Assessment

Your initial fitness assessment will be when your personal trainer records your baseline fitness measurements by assessing your body composition, cardiovascular fitness, strength & endurance levels, range of motion, and more. This baseline measurement will help your personal trainer develop a fitness program that will be appropriate for your current fitness levels and your goals. Your personal trainer will also ask questions about your past exercise and health history to paint a better picture of your current health needs.

3. Trainer Programming

Once the fitness assessment has been completed, your personal trainer will then take the information gathered and use it to develop your new fitness program. Based on your current cardiovascular levels, strength numbers, and mobility measurements, your trainer will be able to create workouts that are appropriate for your fitness level. Your personal trainer may create more mobility workouts in your program if mobility was lacking during your assessment or they may create workouts that focus more on improvement of cardiovascular fitness if that area of fitness was lagging behind during your assessment. The key is to create a personalized fitness program based on your results.

4. Workouts

Once the fitness program has been developed, your workouts will begin on the next scheduled appointment. Your first few appointments may involve more instruction than usual due to the fact that your trainer is instructing proper training form during each new exercise. Each exercise is demonstrated to the client while an explanation of what muscle groups are involved along with any common mistakes in form. Every exercise is also set up by the trainer, meaning any specific adjustments on machines or weight added to a barbell will be done for you. During and after each exercise, your trainer will give positive feedback and reinforcement on your form and ask questions about the difficulty of the exercise so that an appropriate intensity can be set.

5. Re-Assessments & Adjustments

After several weeks of workouts have taken place, some assessment tests will be repeated to monitor progress, like body composition. After 90 days, a full body re-assessment will take place to confirm the results of the last 90 days of the fitness program designed and implemented by your trainer. Upon viewing the results, small adjustments may be made to keep the client on target to reach their end goal. If the goal is ultimately met, the trainer and client may work together to establish new goals to continue their progress.

Customer Testimonials

This is the place to get high-level, high-quality training from experts in a scrupulously clean and pleasant environment. As a person with several ortho/neuro problems, my trainer, Marshall, is outstanding in creating work-outs that intelligently respect my limitations while building my strength. A+ to Brian for running a terrific business and hiring super qualified professionals.

Anne S.

I was truly impressed by The Summit’s ability to pivot to virtual sessions when the pandemic hit. My trainer, Mike, tailored my workouts using the only equipment I had at home: my body weight and resistance bands. The virtual sessions give me the freedom to work out no matter where I am, which recently allowed me to care for a family member elsewhere in the country while still taking care of myself. I still feel as strong as I did when working out face-to-face, and Mike is still there in high definition motivating me every step of the way. I can see why he’s an excellent coach!

Jennifer

I can’t say enough positive things about the experience—virtual training has made Rachel’s strengths even more apparent. Her ability to come up with completely different workouts for me 3x a week that use equipment I already have—and that also don’t aggravate my injury—is so impressive and appreciated. Her attention to my form (and now to my injury as well) has not diminished at all, and is a testament to just how well she understands movement that she can tell what I need to correct with only half my body in view at times. I’ve definitely felt and seen numerous changes in my body since working out with Rachel virtually and I always look forward to our sessions!
