Personal Training in Asheville, in a Private Studio Built Around You
PEAKFIT. Studio is an appointment-only personal training studio at 100 Julian Ln in Arden, serving Asheville, South Asheville, Biltmore Park, Fletcher, Hendersonville and the rest of Western North Carolina. Most of our members are adults over 40 who want to get stronger, move without pain and keep doing the things they love. No crowds, no generic programs, no pressure.
The Discovery Session is a conversation and studio tour with Alex. It is not a workout or a fitness test, and there is no contract pressure.
What personal training at PEAKFIT includes
Every program starts from your body, your health history and your goals. Your coach plans each session, watches your form and adjusts as you progress.
1-on-1 personal training
Private 60-minute sessions with your own coach. The most individual option, and the right fit for injuries, health conditions or big goals.
Semi-private small group
Coached sessions capped at 6 people, so you still get individual attention with the energy of a group.
Partner training
Train with your spouse, partner or a friend in private sessions built for both of you.
Nutrition and recovery
Nutrition counseling, meal planning, InBody body-composition scans, infrared sauna, red light therapy and Theragun recovery sessions under one roof.
The 360 Approach: training, nutrition and recovery together
Most people who quit a gym did not fail at exercise. They were handed a workout with no plan for food, sleep or recovery. Our 360 Approach puts all three in one program. Your coach builds the training plan, nutrition counseling supports it, and recovery tools help you show up ready for the next session. Progress is tracked with regular InBody scans and in the PEAKFIT app, so you can see muscle gained and fat lost, not just a number on a scale.
Who we train
We coach adults of all ages, but our studio was built for people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who want a private, judgment-free place to train. That includes women over 50, people returning to exercise after years away, and older adults focused on strength, balance and staying independent. Read how members like Marilyn, Mary and Duncan got back to the things they love.
Our team is led by founder Katja Raab, coach Alex Zierhut, who runs every Discovery Session, and Franklin Pierce, our corrective exercise and mobility specialist. Meet the full coaching team.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a personal trainer cost in Asheville?
Most Asheville personal trainers charge $45 to $100 per session, and premium private studios usually sit at the upper end of that range. Training two to three times a week on a monthly package typically runs about $520 to $960 a month. PEAKFIT reviews membership options with you at your free Discovery Session.
What happens at the free Discovery Session?
You meet Alex, talk through your goals and health history, and tour the studio. It is a conversation, not a workout or a fitness test, and there is no contract pressure.
Do you only train older adults?
No. We coach adults of all ages, but most of our members are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, and our programs are built for people who want to get stronger safely and keep moving well for decades.
What is the difference between 1-on-1 and semi-private training?
1-on-1 training is a private session with your own coach. Semi-private small group training is coached and capped at 6 people, so each person still gets individual attention at a lower cost per session.
Can you help if I have an injury or health condition?
Yes. Your coach plans around your health history and works within any limits your doctor has given you. For medical questions, we always recommend checking with your physician first.
Do you help with nutrition too?
Yes. PEAKFIT offers nutrition counseling and meal planning, and InBody body-composition scans show how your muscle and body fat are changing over time.
