Gymtimidation: This fear and anxiety of being in a typical big gym setting can keep you from going to the gym as often or using certain pieces of equipment. Walking into a room full of people who seem to know exactly what they're doing can make anyone feel a little self-conscious. 

The Summit is a private personal training studio, which means you'll work out with a highly educated trainer who teaches the proper form and answers your fitness-related questions, all in a private setting with no gym crowds or intimidating atmosphere. Showing up is half the battle, and that battle can be won by knowing you'll be entering a friendly, welcoming environment at The Summit.

Still have questions? We offer free consultations both over the phone and in person at our Rittenhouse and Washington Square locations. Find out how The Summit can help you today!

To get the results you want, you don't have to be extreme, just consistent. Instead of striving for perfection on every workout, every meal, and every snack, strive for consistency. Three solid months of consistent, healthy behavior will outpace and outlast one perfect day or even one perfect week, every time.

Today, we celebrate 9 years since our first studio opened at 15th and Walnut. A lot has changed since our humble beginnings in 2014, but our mission remains the same. We continue to strive to bring nothing but the highest quality to our clients with an unparalleled 1 on 1 training experience and top-notch customer service in a beautiful, private studio.

In a matter of days, we open our second studio location at Washington Square. We're excited to expand our reach, and we look forward to serving our valued clients for many more years to come!

Thank you, Philly!

Mobility is one of the most overlooked aspects of most fitness programs. Having full mobility in our joints helps decrease the risk of injury and makes everyday movement easier and more pain free. Most mobility movements can be done with little to no equipment and you can see huge benefits in only a few minutes a day.

If you constantly feel stiff and are in need of a mobility program, contact us today for a free consultation.

There’s more to your health than just the number on the scale. Our advanced InBody assessment measures your entire body composition in just 45 seconds.

Body composition is a more accurate measure of your health than the scale because it divides your weight into muscle, fat, and water. It will tell you exactly what you’re losing, gaining, or maintaining as you go through your fitness program. With body composition analysis, you can measure your fat and muscle mass, track your progress, and make any changes needed to track your progress.

The InBody test is accurate, fast, and non-invasive – simply step on the device, grab the handles, and in 45 seconds, you’ll receive a detailed printout of your body composition that will be analyzed by one of our personal trainers on staff.

Contact us today to schedule your InBody scan today!

🧼We're Philly's cleanest gym 🧼

We obsess about the cleanliness of our gym. Our bathrooms and gym spaces are professionally cleaned several times per week so our clients can enjoy their workout experience in a fresh, clean space. Come in and see for yourself by scheduling a free consultation.

In the diets of most of the clients we see, breakfast seems to be the meal where least nutritional balance is achieved.

Breakfasts are typically packed with carbohydrates, and not much else, in the mistaken belief we must provide massive amounts of energy for the day ahead.

By beginning the day with a high carbohydrate breakfast we are beginning a pattern that will resonate through the entire day. A few hours after eating a breakfast like this our blood sugar levels will have peaked and then dipped and we will crave carbohydrate again (usually something sweet). This will continue through the day and often leads to energy dips in the middle of the afternoon as well as increased storage of fats as we ingest excessive amounts of carbohydrate.

A breakfast high in fat and protein will lead to much more stable blood sugar, and energy, levels through the entire day despite there being much less carbohydrate (the food traditionally associated with ‘energy’). This is because the body becomes more adept at using fat stored on the body and can provide a steady flow throughout the day!

4 Good Breakfast Ideas 👇

1- Scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and avocado

2- Grilled chicken with guacamole

3- Protein pancakes with cashew cream and smoked salmon

4- Poached eggs, mushroom, spinach and smoked turkey ‘stack’

If you've ever trained at The Summit, you've heard us talk about having good form, and for good reason. Proper form helps you work out more efficiently and avoid injury. Improper form puts you at risk of injury and means you are targeting unintended muscle groups.

The better the form, the better the results, period.

If you want perfect form, train with a real professional in a 1 on 1 setting. Our trainers are watching and correcting every rep to help ensure you have perfect form on every rep.

Philadelphia Style Magazine has picked The Summit at Rittenhouse in the Best Personal Trainer category! Thank you to everyone who voted for us and helped us gain this recognition!
