How Training With Summa Fitness Works

A simple, guided way to get started

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programs or rushing people into packages.
Instead, we take the time to understand you—your goals, movement history, and lifestyle—so we can recommend the right place to start.

Whether you’re new to training, returning after time off, or looking for more structured coaching, our process is designed to be clear, supportive, and low-pressure.

Step 1: Tell Us About Yourself

You’ll start by filling out a short intake form.

This helps us understand:

what you’re working toward
your current training experience
any injuries or limitations we should be aware of

The form only takes a few minutes, and there’s no commitment. It simply helps us prepare so your next step is more productive.

Step 2: Free Assessment Session

Next, we’ll invite you to a free assessment session.

This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we:

talk through your goals and expectations
assess movement, mobility, and strength as needed
answer any questions you have about training options

You don’t need to be “in shape” to do this.
The goal is clarity—not testing or performance.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of where you’re at and what to focus on moving forward.

Step 3: Clear Recommendation

After the assessment, we’ll recommend the training option that makes the most sense for you.

This may include:

private 1-on-1 training
small-group training
online coaching
athlete performance training

We’ll explain why we’re recommending that path and what it would look like over the next phase of training.

We don’t push packages. We guide you toward what will actually help.

Step 4: Get Started (If It’s a Good Fit)

If everything feels like a good fit, we’ll get you scheduled and moving forward with a clear plan.

No confusion.
No pressure.
Just a focused starting point that makes sense for you.

If you decide it’s not the right time, that’s okay too—you’ll still leave with useful direction.

Is This the Right Fit?

This approach works best for people who:

want coaching, structure, and accountability
care about long-term progress and movement quality
prefer a calm, focused training environment
want guidance instead of guessing what to do next

It may not be the best fit if you’re looking for:

drop-in group classes
a high-energy, crowded gym atmosphere
the cheapest option available

Common Questions

Is the assessment really free?
Yes. The assessment is free and there’s no obligation to sign up afterward.

Do I have to commit to training after the assessment?
No. The assessment is designed to give you clarity so you can decide what makes sense for you.

What if I’m new to training or returning after time off?
That’s completely fine. We work with people at all experience levels.

What if I have an injury or limitation?
We’ll take that into account when recommending your next step and adjust training accordingly.

Do you offer online coaching?
Yes. If in-person training isn’t the right fit, we’ll discuss online options.
