About Summit Fitness Guide
Summit Fitness Guide was founded in 2018 with a singular mission: to transform outdoor enthusiasts into elite trail runners and mountain athletes. Based in the heart of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, we've spent over six years developing comprehensive training methodologies that combine cutting-edge sports science with time-tested mountain wisdom.
Our founder, certified exercise physiologist and former Olympic trials qualifier Sarah Martinez, recognized a gap in the fitness industry. Traditional gym-based training simply couldn't prepare athletes for the unique demands of high-altitude trail running, technical terrain navigation, and multi-hour mountain adventures. This realization sparked the creation of our revolutionary outdoor-specific training programs.
Today, Summit Fitness Guide serves over 2,500 active members across North America, from weekend warriors seeking their first trail race victory to seasoned ultramarathoners targeting personal records at iconic events like Western States and Hardrock 100. Our holistic approach addresses not just physical conditioning, but mental resilience, nutrition optimization, and injury prevention strategies crucial for mountain sports success.
What sets us apart is our commitment to personalized programming. Every athlete receives a customized training plan based on comprehensive fitness assessments, goal analysis, and ongoing performance monitoring. Our certified coaching staff brings over 150 combined years of mountain athletics experience, ensuring you receive expert guidance every step of your journey to the summit.
