Why Private Training is the Smartest Way to Reach Your Fitness Goals
If you’re serious about your health and wellness, there’s a better way to train. At The Summit, we believe that reaching your fitness goals isn’t just about showing up to the gym—it’s about doing the right work with the right guidance. That’s where private fitness comes in.
Whether you’re looking to lose fat, gain muscle, recover from injury, or just feel more energized in your day-to-day life, working with a private trainer is the most efficient and personalized path forward.
With boutique gym locations in Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square, we specialize in delivering one-on-one private training in a private, distraction-free environment—where real transformation happens.
Private Fitness in Philadelphia: A Better Way to Train
More Philadelphians are ditching the big-box gym scene in favor of private fitness studios—and it’s easy to see why.
Our clients come to us tired of feeling lost in the crowds, waiting for equipment, and trying to make sense of cookie-cutter workouts. At The Summit, we’ve created a completely different fitness experience—tailored, private, and built entirely around you.
When you train with us, you’re not just another face in the gym. You’re paired with a college-educated private trainer who creates a fully customized plan designed for your body, your schedule, and your goals.
One-on-One Attention = Real Results
Every training session at The Summit is 100% private. That means your coach is focused solely on you. No distractions, no sharing equipment, and no guessing.
Your private trainer will:
- Assess your current fitness level in detail
- Build a tailored plan focused on your goals (fat loss, strength, injury rehab, etc.)
- Monitor and correct your form to prevent injury
- Adjust your workouts as you progress or life changes
This isn’t just about working out harder—it’s about training smarter.
A Private Gym That Builds Confidence from Day One
We get it: traditional gyms can be overwhelming. The crowded floor, the noisy atmosphere, the pressure to “know what you’re doing”—it’s not for everyone.
Our private fitness studios in Rittenhouse and Washington Square are designed to eliminate intimidation. Whether you’re brand new to fitness or getting back into it after time away, you’ll feel comfortable and supported from the moment you walk in.
Training in a fully private gym means you can focus on your progress, not on what anyone else is doing.
Expert Coaching Backed by Science
At The Summit, our private trainers hold degrees in Exercise Science and related fields—along with top-tier certifications. That means your training program isn’t just based on trends; it’s grounded in proven methodology.
Your personalized plan may include:
- Progressive overload for safe strength gains
- Metabolic conditioning for optimal fat burn
- Mobility and recovery protocols to protect your joints
- Biofeedback tools like InBody scans to measure results
Unlike commercial gyms, we’re not juggling multiple clients or pushing product sales. Our only priority is you.
Consistency Through Accountability
One of the biggest reasons people fail to reach their fitness goals? Lack of consistency. With a private trainer, that changes.
Your coach becomes your accountability partner—keeping you motivated, checking in on your progress, and making sure you stay committed even on tough days. This built-in support system is one of the most powerful tools in long-term success.
Private Training That Fits Your Schedule
Our time-efficient training model is ideal for busy professionals, parents, and anyone juggling a demanding schedule. Each session is carefully structured so you get maximum results in minimum time.
No waiting for machines. No wasted effort. Just focused, intentional work that drives real progress.
A Gym Experience That Feels Like Self-Care
Private fitness isn’t just about physical transformation—it’s about creating a positive, enjoyable relationship with exercise.
Our boutique studios in Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square offer a calm, elevated environment that feels more like a wellness retreat than a typical gym. When your training experience is peaceful, professional, and purposeful, it’s easier to stay consistent—and actually look forward to your workouts.
Customized for You and Your Life
From prenatal fitness and post-injury rehab to chronic pain management and lifestyle coaching, our private trainers are experts at building programs that meet you exactly where you are.
We help clients safely and sustainably navigate all stages of life with workouts tailored to their unique bodies and goals.
Long-Term Habits That Stick
We don’t just coach workouts—we teach the “why” behind them. Private training at The Summit includes ongoing education to help you build confidence and independence.
You’ll learn:
- Proper movement patterns and muscle activation
- Nutrition fundamentals that support your goals
- Stretching and recovery routines that prevent injury
- How to build sustainable habits that last
Our mission is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to make fitness a lifelong practice.
