About

Too many distractions. More often than not,
that’s why we don’t reach our goals. That’s
also the impetus behind Summit: to create
an environment for uninterrupted training.

At Summit, we treat climbing as a sport and
climbers as athletes.

I've been for a bit of personal training and a couple of classes. My experiences have been positive. The facilities are clean and there is a lot of equipment to play around with. The personal training has so far been a really positive experience. Looking forward to trying more things. More...

Keith and his crew of coach's have created a great space that offers good vibes, plenty of laughs and a solid sense of community. The gym itself offers a nice mix of bouldering, and personalist fitness classes, both on and off the wall to cover any of your personal fitness goals. More...

I have been coming here for classes for a few weeks now and I can say confidently this is a 5 star gym! The coaches are super friendly and knowledgeable, and very encouraging. As a complete beginner, I have already made a lot of progress and it's because of the support and teachings from the wonderful gym! THANKS GUYS. More...

Summit is a hugely positive environment and a great place for anyone training for specific fitness goals. Keith has an awesome knowledge of drills, exercises, stretches, etc. that can hugely benefit anyone's training plan. I specifically have become a much stronger climber with Keith's coaching. Thanks!!! More...

Great energy and plenty of laughs in this welcoming community space. Nice mix of climbing terrain, though slightly skewed towards the overhung. Fun classes, both on and off the wall! More...

It's the best climbing gym in Madison! The personal training is tailored to the individual, my kids love the classes, and my climbing has definitely grown working with Keith.

I have been climbing for 15 years and recently started attending the Wednesday climbing strength class, which is phenomenal. I started noticing a real difference in how I think on the wall and an increase in my physical ability after a couple of classes. They have created something really special there and have great people. It has real value to me and to so many other people I've talked to. More...

I injured both of my feet a 14 months ago, plantar fasciitis, and I was resigned to being limited to the amount of time I could be on my feet without having, sometimes excruciating pain. After three trips to Summit Strength and Fitness, one for evaluation, and two for physical therapy, I experienced my first day in14 months with no foot pain. I salute Emma and Ryan for their very professional and compassionate treatment. When they told me to expect good results in 4 weeks, I didn't believe it was possible, but I'm now pleasantly surprised in two weeks. They are consummate professionals. Chronic pain impacts your quality of life, and they certainly have improved my quality of life!! Thank you Emma and Ryan!! More...

I am having trouble writing a review, because it's honestly beyond me how much I enjoy this place.

I've trained with Keith at Summit for about two years now, first to rehab an injured knee, and then two pursue climbing and long distance hiking endurance goals and in that time have become a stronger climber and ticked off one of my dream hikes, the Pacific Crest Trail. I credit my successful thru-hike to my training and preparation at Summit Strength and Fitness. More...

Dedicated staff led by a very experienced owner. Keith has a lot of credentials which allows him to construct effective training plans, but more importantly he is naturally good at coaching. He teaches his classes in a way where you always feel welcome but yet are always pushing yourself to do more and make the gains. A great, well-rounded experience at this gym for climbers, endurance athletes, and fitness fanatics alike. Now quit reading this review, go to his gym, and break through the plateau and get that 5.12 you've been drooling over! More...

This place turned me into a climber.

I have always dreamed of being a climber, but after 2 years I had plateaued and not really making progress. This place gave me a focus to really step up my game and make me finally feel like I can climb.

I have reached goals in climbing, ice climbing and running that I did not think were possible for me anymore.

More importantly, I have met a community of climbers who have a shared goal of getting better, helping each other and being safe. I really love this gym. You will get better, smarter and stronger. However, most importantly you will make lifelong friends and partners.

It's not just a club or gym to the people who work there, it's a home. They treat it as such too, inviting you into it, keeping it clean, and treating everyone with a ton of respect. Definitely, the place to go if you're trying to get better at climbing, or just want a gym where the workers actually care. More...

LOVE this place. It has kept me motivated with a great balance of traditional fitness training and training that incorporates rock climbing. My focus has been training for rock climbing and this is the gym to do it. I get the attention I need to stay injury free, have a good time, and achieve my goals. Keith is an awesome trainer, climber, and motivator! More...

Q&As

I work with clients to clarify goals, visualize them and build a road map toward achieving them. Strength training, mental awareness, recovery methods and nutrition are some of the tools and techniques I provide to help you get there.

Eating well, hard work and learimg how to be coached.

Seeing the emotional transformation people go through and they physically change.

Having the freedom to give my clients all the tools I saw necessary for proper growth.

Our facility is very unique and we encourage using the gym as a tool to get outside and explore more places.

Services

Private session targeting your goals and weaknesses. Strength, core, cardio, sport specific, etc.

On the wall movement practice.

6 week plan including weekly check in (in person, Skype, email, etc) to modify, keep you on track, etc.

Same as personal training g but for group of like minded people.
