About
Summit PT
Summit PT is a purpose-built small group strength studio in Albury, run by Jeremy and Claire Rae. Between them they bring over 35 years of coaching experience, a clinical Exercise Physiology background, and a genuine belief that strength training done well changes lives.
Every session at Summit is led by Jeremy or Claire. You’re never handed off to a junior coach.
Claire has been coaching small group strength for 10 years, with a background in Speech Pathology and Early Childhood Teaching that shapes everything about how she works. She listens well, meets people where they’re at, and coaches without hype – just real, steady encouragement.
She works primarily with adults in TRIBE, with a particular focus on women 40+ navigating perimenopause and beyond who want to feel strong, capable, and confident.
Clients describe her as warm, grounded, and genuinely invested – with a “mother hen” streak that means she actually cares whether you’re progressing.
“I lead our TRIBE small group strength classes and I absolutely love it. Sharing fun, effective movement with a great crew of people nourishes me as much as it does those I coach. If you’re thinking about starting, I’d love to welcome you in.”
Jeremy is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP), graduating from the University of Sydney in 2002. He has spent 24 years working with athletes and everyday adults across strength, injury rehabilitation, sport performance, and endurance coaching.
He works primarily with youth athletes, runners, and adults in TRIBE – bringing the same clinical rigour to a group strength class that he applies to individual rehabilitation.
Outside the studio Jeremy is a former national-level decathlete who competed at the Sydney 2000 Olympic trials, and now competes across trail and road running from 5k to ultras. He stays current with yearly continuing education in strength and conditioning, corrective exercise, and clinical rehabilitation.
“I design programming with one focus: build strong, capable, injury-resilient people. Whether your goal is sport performance or just feeling better in your body – the approach is the same.”
Our Story
Summit PT grew out of a shared obsession with movement, health, and helping people live well.
Jeremy and Claire met in Sydney at Uni then spent years living and working, hiking, exploring, and building a life that put health at the centre. When they moved to Albury they brought that philosophy with them and built Summit from the ground up.
The studio is deliberately small. Capped at 8 per class, purpose-built, and focused entirely on doing strength coaching properly. No big box gym compromises. No junior coaches running sessions. Just two experienced coaches who care about the people they work with.
