Coaching-Led Fitness Studio
Train for the life outside the gym.
Summit Lane is a coached studio, not a room full of machines. Every class has a plan, every plan has a coach, and every member has people who notice when they miss a week.

Programming board
A typical Tuesday at Summit Lane
Every class is capped at 16 so the coach can actually coach. Book classes in the Summit Lane member app up to seven days out; a standby list opens the moment a class fills.

Substitutions happen. When a coach is out, connected members hear who is covering before they leave the house.
Four tracks
Pick a track. Change it whenever life changes.
Members choose one of four training tracks. Each has its own class mix and its own coach who checks in monthly. Switching is one conversation, not a new contract.
- Start here
Foundations
For people returning to exercise or starting from zero. Squat, hinge, push, pull and carry, taught slowly, with loads that rise only when your form has earned it.
Strength
Progressive barbell and dumbbell programming in 8-week blocks. You keep a log, your coach reads it, and the numbers move.
Conditioning
Rowers, bikes, sleds and bodyweight work in structured intervals. Built for the person who wants to climb stairs, carry groceries and chase kids without thinking about it.
Longevity
Mobility, balance, moderate strength and a lot of coaching attention. Popular with members over 55 and with anyone rebuilding after an injury, once cleared by their own clinician.
Teen Strength runs separately for ages 13 to 17 and requires a parent conversation before the first session.
Personal training
One coach, one plan, and a reason to keep showing up.
Personal training here is not a sales funnel for a bigger package. It is a coach who writes your program, watches you move, and adjusts the plan when your knee, your job or your sleep changes.
Sessions run 50 minutes on the open floor or in the small back studio. Most members pair one session a week with two or three classes; some come only for sessions. Both are fine.
- Movement assessment before any program is written
- Programs live in the Summit Lane member app, the same app you book classes in, updated every 4 weeks
- Packs of 4, 8 or 12 sessions, no expiry inside 6 months
Challenges and community
The reason people stay is rarely the equipment.
Three times a year the whole studio takes on something together. Between challenges, smaller groups run on their own: the 5:45 crew, the Saturday hikers, the Tuesday-night parents.
6-Week Base Challenge
Runs every January, May and September. Attend 18 classes in 6 weeks, log your lifts, retest on the final Saturday. No weight-loss leaderboard, ever.
Summit Saturdays
Once a month the 9:00 class moves outdoors: a hill loop, a park circuit, a long walk with a heavy pack. Family members welcome at no charge.
Member socials
Coffee after the Sunday class, a quarterly potluck in the lobby, and a pickup basketball game that has run every Thursday since 2019.

- 6-Week Base Challenge starts a week from Monday
Ana here. Baseline testing is the Saturday before, from 10:30, and the retest is on the final Saturday. Eighteen classes in six weeks, at your pace, and no weight-loss leaderboard. Reply YES to join and we'll add you at the desk.
To: All members - Teen Strength this week: flat shoes, please
Dev here. Tuesday's 4:30 Teen Strength starts the barbell block, so teens need flat-soled shoes rather than running shoes. We lend belts, every bar starts empty, and loads only go up when technique has earned it. Parents are welcome to watch from the lobby; reply here with any questions.
To: Teen Strength parents - 6:45 Conditioning: Dev is coaching this morning
Marcus here. Ana is out sick, so I'm covering her 5:45 Foundations and Dev is taking 6:45 Conditioning. Same session as planned, intervals on the rowers and sleds. Your booking in the member app stands as it is.
To: Conditioning track - Two spots open in tonight's 5:30 Conditioning
Two people have released their bookings for tonight's 5:30 Conditioning with Dev. Reply YES and Priya at the desk will book you in. First two replies get the spots.
To: Conditioning track - Summit Saturday moves indoors this week
Ana here. The forecast for Saturday morning is heavy rain, so the 9:00 class stays in the studio: a pack-carry circuit on the floor instead of the hill loop. Same start time, and family members are still welcome at no charge.

By email, then on your phone
The same Saturday notice, before and after you add the app
Everyone on our list hears when Summit Saturday moves indoors. Until you add the Blasts app, the notice arrives by email. Once you enter our code, the same notice lands on your phone instead.

Coaches
People who coach for a living, not between other jobs.
Seven coaches work the floor. These three run the tracks and write most of the programming.
Ana Ferreira
Head Coach, Foundations and Strength
Opened Summit Lane in 2017 after a decade coaching in a university weight room. Still teaches the 5:45 AM class four days a week.
Marcus Bell
Conditioning Lead
Former rowing coach. Designs the interval programming and runs the Lunch Lift and evening Open Floor sessions.
Dev Raman
Longevity and Teen Strength Coach
Joined in 2022. Runs the over-55 programming and the after-school teen sessions, and somehow keeps both rooms laughing.
I joined for the January challenge because a coworker did. I stayed because when I skipped a week after my dad got sick, Ana sent me one message: no pressure, we saved your spot. Nobody at my old gym would have noticed I was gone.
