Mountain Fitness Training Class

Train like a guide.

The weight of the sandbag will seem to hold you down, but somehow you push yourself up. The logs will make your arms scream as you run. These workouts will give you a strength that you can use out on the trails.

Mountain Fitness classes are 90 minute non-traditional, fitness-oriented adventures. They are designed to get you ready to push harder, climb higher, and play longer.

Mountain Fitness is a response to the popularity of the Guides’ Choice series of challenging hikes. The class is built around a philosophy that form and fitness should follow function and will prepare you to hike farther, paddle longer or climb higher this season.

During Mountain Fitness classes, you will learn how spherical training can help you achieve your goals and set your sights on new heights. The spherical model teaches students to interface with others and the outdoor world around them to build functional strength, sustainable power and dynamic flexibility. To participate, you do not need to be in peak condition, but you must have the desire to reach new heights.

Testimonials

Thanks for a great mountain biking trip on Saturday! Your guys are real stars, they created a fantastic day of mountian biking that I’d never have been able to achieve by myself. They were great guides, who knew their stuff, knew the terrain, and were great bike handlers. They were superfast when needed, and also smart enough to be slow when that was required. They were also punctual and conscientious. I’d do it again in a second, it was worth the money. Keep up the good work, and I'll use your services again in the near future. — Philip
