Personal Training in Allentown

Someone in your
corner.

Training on your own works right up until it does not. A coach who knows your goals, your history and your schedule is the difference between guessing and progressing. Start with a free consult. No cost, no commitment.

Find your fit

Step 1 of 3

What are you really after?

Who This Is For

You do not need to be an athlete. You need a reason.

New to it

The weight room feels like everyone got a manual you never did. We start at the beginning, at your pace, and nobody is watching to judge.

Starting over

Time off, an injury, a few years away. You just need a way back in that finally sticks this time.

Losing weight

You are done with crash diets and starting from zero every spring. This time it is a plan you can actually live with.

Hit a plateau

The same numbers for months. That is almost always a programming or technique fix, and both are easier to spot from the outside.

Bad knees, busy days

A cranky shoulder, a desk job, a schedule that never sits still. Your plan works around all of it instead of ignoring it.

Doing it right

You would rather learn the lifts properly now than spend a year building habits you have to undo later.

How It Works

Three steps to get started.

01

Reach out

Send your info through the form. We will text or call to find a time that works around your schedule.

02

Come in and talk

Walk the gym, talk through your goals, your training history and anything you are working around. No cost and no commitment.

03

Start training

If it makes sense for both of us, you get a plan built for you and a coach who tracks whether it is working.

Your Trainer

Martin

Manager · NASM-Certified Trainer

Martin is NASM certified and the manager who keeps this place running. He handles the day to day and still coaches in the gym, which means he is around enough to catch the small things before they turn into habits.

His approach is to build programs around where you actually are instead of where a template says you should be. That starts with a conversation, which is exactly what the free consult is for.

Questions

Before you reach out

I've never worked with a trainer before. Is that going to be awkward?

Not even a little. That's most of the people who start here. Your first session is just us learning how you move and what you're working with, nobody is testing you. You won't get thrown into anything you're not ready for.

What actually happens at the free consult?

You tell us your goals, your history, any injuries, and what your week really looks like. We walk the gym together so you can picture it. You leave knowing exactly what training here would involve, whether you sign up or not.

Do I have to be a member to train one-on-one?

Not necessarily. Training and membership are handled separately, and the right setup depends on how often you want to train and whether you also want to get in on your own time. Easiest thing is to ask at the consult and we'll figure it out with you.

Can I train with a female trainer?

Yes, ask for Brenna. A lot of people feel more comfortable starting with a woman who knows her stuff, and she absolutely does.

Do you coach Olympic lifting?

We do, that's Brenna's specialty. The snatch, the clean and jerk, and the strength work underneath them. Whether you're brand new to the lifts or chasing a number, she'll meet you where you are.

Where does the training happen?

Right in our gym at 4630 Broadway in Allentown, in Tilghman Square. Same Watson and plate-loaded equipment everybody else trains on, not some roped-off studio in the back.

How often would I train?

Depends on your goals and your schedule, and that's part of what we sort out at the consult. Some folks book every session, others have us build a plan they run on their own and check in now and then.

Start with a
conversation.

The consult is free and nothing is booked until you say so. Worst case you walk the gym and leave knowing what a plan would look like.
