What People Are Saying
“Before I started this program, I couldn’t hike more than 3 miles without needing to lie down the rest of the day. I was embarrassed to even call myself outdoorsy. But these workouts felt doable and actually made me look forward to moving again. I just finished a 12-mile hike with my best friend and I felt strong the entire time.”
— Mel, 41, Reno
“I was prepping for a 4-day backpacking trip in the High Sierra, and I knew I couldn’t just ‘wing it’ with my fitness. This program helped me build the kind of strength and stamina I needed for steep climbs and long mileage days while training at sea level. The weekly emails kept me accountable, and I finally felt like my training matched my trail goals.”
— Tasha, 34, Oakland
“I signed up for this to train for Everest Base Camp with Alpinistas. It was exactly what I needed. The workouts were focused, not overwhelming, and designed for hiking — not gym selfies. I showed up to Nepal feeling prepared, strong, and more confident than I’ve ever felt on a big trip.”
— Jordan, 29, Seattle
You were made for this trail.
This isn’t about having a six-pack.
It’s about feeling strong when you strap on your pack.
It’s about showing up on the trail ready — not recovering for 3 days after.
Let’s get you there.
One week at a time.
You should always consult your physician or other healthcare provider before starting an exercise program. There is always a risk of injury associated with participating in this program and being in the wilderness.
