PrideFit is a doctor-led fitness center in Philadelphia specializing in evidence-based personal training. Our expert team designs individualized programs that improve mobility, build lasting strength, and deliver measurable progress—without the noise or distractions of a typical Philadelphia gym.
PrideFit Training was founded to raise the standard for strength and movement coaching. After more than a decade in clinical practice, Joe Ferrero, DPT, CFSC recognized a need for something different – a space where evidence-based training meets real-world application.
In 2021, he opened PrideFit as a doctor-led alternative to the traditional Philadelphia gym. His goal was to combine clinical insight with intelligent, progressive coaching that helps people move better, perform stronger, and live pain-free.
Today Joe and co-founder Christine Ferrero, OT lead a team that serves two core groups – adults seeking functional fitness and youth athletes pursuing performance goals. Every client begins with a comprehensive evaluation and receives a fully personalized plan – no templates, no guesswork.
What began with one table and a clear mission has grown into a trusted destination for personal training inside a results-driven, supportive environment.
PrideFit is more than a studio – it is a medically grounded fitness center in Philadelphia committed to long-term progress and measurable outcomes.
Every plan is built on anatomy, biomechanics, and proven strength principles to ensure safe, measurable progress.
