Evan Nolte - Retired War Dog Medic
After a number of surgeries and an unexpected end to my Army career, I had a very difficult time both mentally and physically returning to strength. With Summa Fit’s programming I am healthier and stronger now than I was 10 years ago. If you do your part, you will absolutely become faster, stronger and more resilient than you were before.
I cannot recommend Summa Fit’s training and overall approach to wellness enough. If you are a veteran or first responder, these are the coaches and this is the community you’ve been looking for.

My lifestyle and professional career with K9’s puts a significant strain on my body. Maintaining a high level of fitness, quality nutrition and mobility is critical for my success and well being. Having customized, turn key and adjustable programming is crucial to be able to function the way I do, and I rely on Christine and Mitch for their guidance.
They adjust all my programs and diet as needed based on my schedule, feedback and goals. I can’t thank Summa Fit enough for keeping me so dialed in on my fitness journey.

My strength, mobility and overall knowledge has grown exponentially. I owe all credit to them for l the growth and gains that I have made over the past year. Their meticulous attention to detail and one on one support in programming that I’ve received is truly unprecedented from any other service I’ve ever worked with or heard of. I recommend SummaFit to all of my close friends and family and will continue to do so. Their service, guidance and friendship and is priceless.

After enduring multiple injuries during my time in the Army, ending in a medical retirement, I have struggled to regain my competitive edge.
It has been several months since I began training with Summa Fit with a primary goal of regaining my strength and athleticism for tactical shooting/fitness competitions.
The programming has exceeded my expectations.
The professional guidance and tailored workouts have emphasized rehabilitation and athleticism, allowing me to progress safely and effectively, significantly increasing my overall competitive ranking.
I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to overcome injuries, enhance athletic performance, or just improvement of overall health and function.

From CrossFit to my first triathlon, Mitch and Christine have been the foundation of my ability to move from various fitness pursuits without injury. I thoroughly enjoy the programming and the opportunity to ask questions to people who truly understand the WHY—so many people are putting out programs today and don’t have any actual idea how to program for individuals. With Summa Fit you get dedicated COACHES.
