The PEAKFIT difference

The private gym for adults 40+.

Built for adults who are done with crowded gyms, generic programs, and guessing whether anything is working. Every session happens in your own private station, with a coach who knows your history, your joints, and your goals. No intimidation. No one watching.

Your body is capable of more than you think, and it’s never too late to prove it.

Our process

How it works

Your free intro session

A full InBody scan, a tour of the studio, and a real conversation about your goals and your health history.

A plan built for your body

A gentle movement assessment finds your baseline. Your coach builds the plan around it.

Train. Recover. Measure.

Private sessions, real recovery tools, and regular InBody scans so progress is measured, not guessed.

Why we built PEAKFIT

It started with a diagnosis.

In 2020, founder Katja Raab was diagnosed with breast cancer. She rebuilt her body through fitness and nutrition, then built a quiet, private studio where adults 40+ can do the same.

“Movement is medicine, food is fuel, and recovery is everything.”

With head trainer Alex Zierhut (B.S. Exercise Science) and mobility specialist Franklin Pierce (NASM-CPT).

Honest answers

You’re probably wondering…

What happens at the free intro session?

You get a full InBody scan, a tour of the studio, and a real conversation about what you want your body to do. You leave with a personal starting plan. No pressure, no obligation.

I haven’t exercised in years. Can I start now?

Yes. Most of our members walked in the same way. One client hadn’t worked out in five years; another started at 82. Your program begins exactly where your body is today and progresses at your pace.

I have injuries and joint pain. Is this safe for me?

This is exactly what we’re built for. Our team includes a corrective exercise and mobility specialist, and our philosophy is simple: move better first, get stronger second. Every program is designed around your health history, and we’re happy to coordinate with your doctor or physical therapist.

What does it cost?

It depends on the format: private 1-on-1 or small group (roughly a third of the 1-on-1 price). We’ll walk through the options at your free intro session. The intro session itself is free.

Where are you, and when can I come in?
