Biltmore Park is one of South Asheville’s most established communities — walkable, upscale, and home to a concentration of professionals who know exactly what good service looks like. When it comes to personal training, that same standard applies. PEAKFIT Studio in Arden, 10-15 minutes from the Biltmore Park Town Square, offers the kind of private fitness experience that matches the way Biltmore Park residents approach the rest of their lives.

What Biltmore Park Residents Are Looking For in Fitness

The Biltmore Park community tends to attract people who’ve already built successful careers and families, and who now want to bring that same intention to their health. They’re not beginners who need to be convinced that fitness matters. They’re experienced enough to know that what most gyms offer — crowded facilities, generic programs, trainers who barely glance up from their phones — isn’t what actually produces results.

What they want is:

A program specifically designed for their body and goals
A trainer who actually coaches, not supervises from a distance
Early morning availability that fits before a full workday
A private, professional environment that respects their time
Recovery services that keep them performing at a high level

PEAKFIT’s model was built around this kind of client. Every session is appointment-based, every program is custom-designed, and the studio is open from 6am Monday through Friday to accommodate pre-work sessions.

The Drive From Biltmore Park Is Short

The Biltmore Park Town Square sits at the intersection of Long Shoals Road and Overlook Road. From there to PEAKFIT Studio at 100 Julian Ln in Arden is approximately 10-15 minutes via Long Shoals Road or US-25. It’s a straightforward drive with no downtown traffic involved.

Many Biltmore Park clients fold the commute into their morning routine — they’re at PEAKFIT at 6am, done and showered by 7:30, and at their desk or first meeting without losing significant time from the workday. For the caliber of coaching and the depth of services PEAKFIT provides, that’s a trade most clients make without hesitation.

What You’ll Find at PEAKFIT

Private One-on-One Coaching

One-on-one personal training means the session is entirely yours. Your trainer has reviewed your health history, assessed your movement patterns, and designed a program for your specific goals — whether that’s building lean muscle, improving cardiovascular fitness, losing body fat, or simply maintaining strength and mobility as you age.

For busy professionals, the efficiency of a coached private session is one of the clearest advantages over a self-directed gym visit. No time wasted deciding what to do next. No sets skipped. No shortcuts on form. The hour is structured to produce the most from every minute.

InBody Body Composition Tracking

Before your program begins, PEAKFIT takes your actual baseline with an InBody body composition scan. This 60-second scan measures muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat level, and hydration. It gives you real data to track against — not just a scale reading that conflates muscle gain with fat loss.

Your free consultation includes a complimentary InBody scan.

Nutrition Counseling

For Biltmore Park professionals trying to get their nutrition dialed in alongside their training, PEAKFIT’s personalized nutrition coaching connects custom meal planning to your body composition data. Plans are built to support your specific goals — fat loss, muscle building, energy, or longevity — and adjusted as your results come in.

Infrared Sauna and Red Light Therapy

Post-session recovery is available on site. PEAKFIT’s infrared sauna supports circulation, muscle recovery, and stress reduction through deeply penetrating heat. Red light therapy supports cellular repair and tissue recovery at the wavelength level. For professionals who train hard and need to recover efficiently between sessions, these aren’t extras — they’re part of what makes consistent, high-intensity training sustainable.

Small Group Training

If the schedule or budget doesn’t fit fully private sessions, small group training offers a coached group experience with a low trainer-to-client ratio. It’s not a large group fitness class — it’s a structured, coached session with a handful of participants.

Working With the PEAKFIT Team

The studio’s certified trainers bring different strengths to client relationships. All full bios are on the Meet the Team page.

Alex Zierhut (Head Coach) works extensively with professionals and business owners who want efficient, results-driven programming. His coaching style is educational — clients understand why they’re doing what they’re doing, which keeps engagement high over the long term.

Alana Altland (CPT/Nutrition Specialist/Mindset Coach) is particularly effective with clients who want to address the behavioral and nutritional dimensions of fitness alongside physical training.

Ariel Reece (CPT) has a specialty in adaptive programming — clients working around prior injuries, health conditions, or extended periods away from structured exercise.

Dakota Hall (CPT/Certified Flexologist) leads assisted PNF stretching sessions and strength and mobility training. His sessions are popular among professionals who accumulate significant postural tension from desk work.

What Biltmore Park Professionals Say About the Drive

The PEAKFIT Google reviews speak to what clients consistently find here. One client, a business owner, noted that PEAKFIT solved the consistency problem that had plagued years of solo gym attempts. Another described the studio as “an absolute game-changer” — with a coach who explains every movement and keeps attention fully on the client rather than the room.

Those are real experiences from real clients on the PEAKFIT reviews page. The private, appointment-based model is what makes that experience structurally possible.

Your Free Consultation

Every new PEAKFIT client starts with a free consultation that includes a complimentary InBody body composition scan and an intro training session. The whole process takes about an hour — and it gives you a realistic picture of where you are, what’s actually possible, and what a structured program looks like for your specific situation.
