The 1-on1 Online Training Program for Adventurers that want mountain fitness training at home so they can move easier, faster, and farther on their adventures.
Here's what's included:
Mountain-Specific Training
At Moving Mountains PT™ I prioritize functional fitness training that prepares you for the mountains. It's not your average gym program.
Strengthen your body for steep ascents & descents, improve your balance for tricky terrain, and build strong joints and the endurance needed for long days on the trail.
All-In-One Training App
Training can get complicated fast. But at Moving Mountains PT™, I like to keep things simple.
So everything you need is found in 1 app. Easily access your scheduled workouts, monitor your progress, and communicate with me. You'll have everything you need to succeed, all in one place.
Training Plan Built for YOU
Building the right plan for you means dialing in on what you need most to complete and enjoy your adventure.
That's why your journey starts with a deep dive into your fitness level, past injuries, training preferences, health history, and most importantly, your goals.
Accountability Check-Ins
Great things are never accomplished alone.
I will monitor your progress throughout the week and check in with you to make sure you have everything you need to be successful and you're doing what you said you'd do. We won't overwhelm you, we'll just hold you accountable.
1-on-1 Coaching
You'll have a seasoned hiker with 15+ years of fitness experience as your coach.
I'll personally celebrate your successes, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust your plan with you as needed so you continue to see results.
Form Reviews
Feeling confident and secure on the hike starts with your training.
With Moving Mountains PT™, you can submit videos of your exercises for personalized feedback from your coach. Fine-tune your moves, build confidence in your technique, and learn to move easily so you can feel confident in the way you move, no matter where you are.
The 3-Phase Approach of Moving Mountains PT™:
PHASE 1 - Building Your Personalized Training Blueprint
First we gain clarity about your mountain training journey by learning exactly what you need to be in peak shape for your adventure.
By diving deep into the specifics of your goal, fitness level, schedule, preferences, and past, I'll build a program that you enjoy and gets you results. So you'll know for sure that you're on track to accomplish your mountain goals.
In Phase 1 you'll get:
- A 1-on-1 consultation with me to breakdown your current situation and goals.
- An In-depth questionnaire to understand your schedule, preferences, and available resources better.
- An at-home fitness assessment to analyzes your strengths, weaknesses, and biggest opportunities for improvement.
- Your Personalized Training Blueprint that puts all of this together so you don't have to think about it, just execute.
PHASE 2 - Establishing Your Mountain Fitness Foundation
Whether you're a seasoned hiker/mountaineer or just getting back into it, we start by building the habits that will make a successful journey inevitable for you.
With the training you'll receive in the beginning of our time together, you'll build the lungs to get you where you want to go, and the body to handle the trail there. That means aerobic-conditioning sessions and joint-specific exercises.
In Phase 2 you'll get:
- Access to the all-in-one training app where you'll find your workouts/reps/sets/demos and communication with your coach is simple and easy.
- Conditioning workouts to build up your aerobic-base, the engine behind your long hikes.
- Mobility and Strength workouts to get your body moving optimally. Ensuring you have the capacity to train and hike safely and efficiently.
- Habit Coaching as needed to align your life with your goals.
PHASE 3 - Achieving Peak Performance
Once you've mastered the basics, we'll dial up the intensity and focus on building the specific strength and endurance you need to conquer your target mountain(s). This is where you'll truly start to see the transformation. Feeling stronger, more agile, and more confident on challenging terrain.
Over time your training will mirror the exact demands of your chosen adventure, from the weight of your backpack to the terrain you'll encounter. We'll fine-tune your form, build your mental toughness, and equip you with the skills you need to reach the top and enjoy the journey there.
In Phase 3 you'll get:
- A diverse set of conditioning sessions that address each aspect required for well rounded mountain fitness.
- Advanced strength training to increase power and resilience.
- Progressive endurance workouts to prepare you for long days on the trail.
- Highly specific training to replicate the conditions of your hike.
- Planned taper period to ensure you're refreshed and at peak performance on the day of your trip.

Questions other hikers and mountaineers had before elevating their mountain fitness forever by joining Moving Mountains Personal Training™:
How does mountain-specific training differ from regular exercise?
Mountain-specific training is rooted in mountain experience. That means that this is training designed to help you move uphill faster, navigate rocky terrain more swiftly, move downhill pain-free, and do all of this with a backpack on for days on end.
The same way olympic weightlifters base their training regimen on olympic lifts, mountain-specific training is based on the way we move in the mountains.
In Moving Mountains PT™ we take this one step further by looking at the specific adventure goals you have in mind. Training for Mt Stuart is different than training for the Grand Canyon. So to increase your odds of success, your plan is made to overcome the exact challenges that you are aiming to take on.
What would a typical plan look like for me?
Training plans vary from person to person based off of goals, history, and fitness test results.
The training objective in the beginning is to get the body used to moving how it needs to. The objective at the end is to have your body fresh, ready, and adapted to the challenges you're about to face.
Most training involves a good mix of strength/mobility days and cardio days, with the exact split being depending on the current training phase and abilities of the client.
I don't have a ton of time to focus on training. And I travel a lot. Can this still work for me?
Yes! We will adapt your plan 100% to your schedule and preferences.
A core principle at Moving Mountains PT™ is
"Work with what you got." That's why we start by maximizing the current time you have available before considering adding more training to your schedule.
Training equipment and location is also taken into account. Whether you have gym equipment or prefer bodyweight, you can always get exercise alternatives from your coach so you can train wherever you want with whatever you have.
How does the personal training work if it's online? Do I have to record all of my workouts?
Moving Mountains PT™ delivers everything you need in one app so you can train on your own time wherever you are.
In the app you'll find your training schedule, specific workouts, demos, instructions, and a 24/7 messaging platform with your coach who you can book a call with whenever there's a need. So you can train without a doubt.
Your role is to log your training results and give necessary feedback in the app so that your coach can modify your training for the next week and the rest of your program.
Recording yourself isn't ever required, but it may be suggested if you're having trouble with specific exercises so that you can receive critique and improve.
What do your best clients have in common?
Over the years I've noted 2 key traits among my most successful clients.
1- They have a clear adventure goal in mind that they want to aim for every year.
2- they are willing to make changes in their life because they truly want to achieve those goals.
If you're unsure about what you really want to accomplish, its hard to generate the drive to actually execute and move forward.
What if I hate the training plan you give me?
I continually upgrade and modify your training based off your needs and preferences so you can make progress. Piece by piece your training plan becomes uniquely your own and optimized for your success. And I do that with the help of your feedback.
That doesn't mean you get to avoid the hard stuff -we can't cheat success. But it does mean that together we'll craft an approach to your mountain training that you enjoy and that ensures success on your adventures.
