Who uses a personal trainer?
The role of the personal trainer is changing. It used to be that celebrities and wealthy individuals were the only people that used personal trainers. The stereotype of a personal trainer used to be that of a big body builder. Today the personal trainer is a highly skilled professional that has been educated and certified to work with various types of clients. Children as young as 7 years old, 80 year old men and women, obese adults, athletes, cancer recovery patients, and adults with diseases all benefit from working with personal trainers. Clients are using personal trainers for: fat loss, weight gain, flexibility, improve posture, alleviate stress, increase energy, rehab an injury, and improve quickness, general health benefits.

What exactly does a personal trainer do?
At Summit Hill, our personal trainers are highly skilled and nationally certified, and have many roles when working with clients. Your personal trainer will serve as a coach, teacher and motivator. It is the personal trainer's job to assess your current physical and mental state, establish very specific goals, design an individualized program, and do what ever it takes to keep you on track towards getting results.

Fitness:

Can I workout every day?
You can, however your body needs rest. Remember, when you strength train, your muscles grow when you are at home, resting. It is recommended, if you are new to exercise to start twice a week at 20 minutes at a time, gradually increasing the time to 3 times a week at no more than 45 minutes. Generally, 4 times a week is sufficient to gain muscle strength.

How long does it take see results?
You may begin to see results in the first 4-8 weeks. This depends in large part to your nutrition. You can work out as hard as you'd like. If you do not eat right, you will not get far.

I only eat when I have time, and I'm not seeing good results, even though I eat clean?
Your body's metabolism increases each time you eat! Your metabolic rate will increase with each meal. When you don't eat, your metabolism slows down because it has nothing to do! You are not feeding your body. If you eat every 3-4 hours, not only are you keeping your blood sugar even, avoiding crashing, you are constantly spiking your metabolism!

Can't I just do cardio and lose fat?
This is dangerous because too much cardio can eat away at muscle tissue, not good! Cardio is great for your heart and overall well being. However, to maximize your calorie burning, you need muscle! Muscle is the furnace that burns body fat, continuously! So if you enjoy cardio, that's fine, just don't overdo it, and for that matter, don't over do anything!

Summit Hill Health and Fitness is a valuable resource in the area. More than a fitness club, it offers its members a place to interact and socialize with others in a healthy environment. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional, and is generous with their support and encouragement. The fitness equipment is state-of-the-art, and the classes are exceptional. Whether one prefers to work out alone on the equipment, or with a friend, or in a group setting with an instructor, there is something for everyone at the club.

My PT has worked with me closely the past year on fitness and weight loss, and the process, as well as the results, has enormously enhanced the quality of my life. -Liz

"Summit Hill has become my home away from home. The energy is wonderful and the staff is outstanding. I always look forward to coming here and have lost 20lbs along the way!" -Marilyn

"My husband and I have been very impressed with the staff at Summit Hill. The classes are excellent, and the trainers have taken a personal interest in our fitness goals. The trainers make themselves available for questions, even when they walk by, make suggestions as to how to maximize results w/ a particular exercise. In the 8 weeks we have been coming to the gym we have lost close to 20lbs a piece, and it is thru the encouragement of the staff to try new things that helps us stay motivated. -Tabitha

"The staff made my first time joining a gym enjoyable. I could tell that they really care and already I have friends." -Jillian

"Since joining the Summit Hill I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Daily I see the same familiar, smiling faces. I have taken a few classes and the teachers have taken the time to ask my name and get to know me - even chat with me in the locker room. The people at the front desk are always helpful and happily greeting us. If I have had a question or problem it has been fixed in a speedy manner.

This morning I wrote an important email to Paul about a tanning membership. Within the hour he had gotten back to me with such wonderful, caring response!
I am so happy that I joined this club." –Megan

"I have been a member for a very long time and enjoy working out at Summit Hill. I like my personal trainer and, although she is very tough, she highly motivates me. The club is like a home away from home. There is great comradery between the members and staff. I even come early before my workout to enjoy a cup of coffee......Keep up the good work!!" - Kathy

The gym is adequate by machines, however the rustic element exceeds the more modern gym, its more comfortable here and the staff and clientele are always nice and courteous. I feel relaxed and comfortable here.

The, friendly and caring staff. and in general most of the other members

There is everything I need to do my own workout. It is comfortable as far as the atmosphere and I don't feel like I am being hovered over by staff.

Summit is the best one I have ever been too, and hope to belong for a very long time, as long as I am able.

I like everything about the club. Friendly atmosphere where it’s fun to work out!

I especially love the aerobics and yoga classes ...they're on time, upbeat and effective. There are days when I really feel lazy and would much prefer not coming, but I do and leave after a good work out feeling great. It's not just the exercise that makes the difference ...the camaraderie in the class, members and staff, makes it fun.

I like the way it is set up so that everyone isn't in one room. Warm atmosphere, people that go there aren't too friendly. A little too much money for me.

I feel comfortable going to you fitness club. The staff is always friendly and willing to answer any questions that I may have.

friendly comfortable atmosphere; staff more than willing to help.

I would like more spin classes that are more intense

I wish I could fit in more personal training. I am now taking classes and really like the classes and instructors. I have Michelle for kick boxing. She is interested in teaching boxing. I would love that. I like Maureen also for cardio sculpt. That's a good work out too. I like Paul and Steve, they are very friendly and helpful. They are not friendly when you walk in

I like it -personal and friendly, comfortable

I think the club has a lot to offer: the friendly and helpful staff, variety of exercise equipment, clean locker rooms and only four miles from my home.

I think it is great, staff is helpful and friendly and Lex is super as well as Annie and Jimmy.

Its very friendly, warm and hospitable. To me it feels like I am home. I especially love seeing AJ, your mascot cute doggie!!! I especially loved the good music that you have playing at the gym while we are working out, it really gets and keeps me motivated. Thank you for having a real nice place to go to. So Peaceful!!!

My personal opinion....short, sweet and to the point....comfortable atmosphere, all the equipment I need, and the staff are friendly and educated!!

VERY COMFORTABLE ATMOSPHERE
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Calm, clean environment. Useable equipment and fun engaging , workable classes and all at a great price. Can't ask for more.

Appreciate the atmosphere and being able to get my routine done on a timely affective manner.

it's awesome

The staff are great Marie and Pete take great care of everyone. Very very friendly, these guys are the best they make summit hill the best without a doubt!!!

I love working out here. I don't get here as often as I like because I'm currently in school, but when I do get to come I always get a great work out! I also love your classes, especially Zumba, and I cannot wait until I'm done with school and can actually start going again! If you added a Zumba class on Saturday mornings, that would be great!

I like it. It offers alot. I do like to do early morning classes to start the day off.

Its Great, mainly here between 5 and close, and the staff is friendly and great

I love Summit Hill. It meets my needs, is close to home, a good value for the money. I wish you were open at 7 AM on Saturdays. I am an early riser and like to get exercise done early.

I like Summit Hill and the staff. My constructive recommendations would be the following;
Continue to offer a variety of classes every night. I love that you are offering Zumba more and kickboxing, your contests and special classes, such as hula hooping are great!

I'd appreciate starting at 5 am so I can get a full hour in before I start work.
Decent club, I like the SHAC pass.

I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO EXERCISE AND MEET FRIENDS. THE ATMOSPHERE IS KIND AND FRIENDLY.
