Stop Letting Unprepared Fitness Hold You Back

The Hidden Challenges That Turn Dream Hikes Into Disappointing Struggles

Many hikers embark on mountain adventures with general fitness, only to discover that mountain climbing demands specialised preparation. Without proper conditioning, even experienced athletes struggle with altitude, steep gradients, and extended duration challenges.

✘ Common Pain Points

  • Leg Fatigue: General gym fitness doesn't prepare you for hours of sustained uphill climbing
  • Poor Balance: Uneven terrain becomes dangerous without proper stability training
  • Backpack Burden: Carrying weight for hours strains unprepared muscles and joints
  • Mental Defeat: Physical struggles lead to confidence loss and incomplete adventures

✔ Our Solutions

  • Hiking-Specific Conditioning: Targeted exercises that mirror mountain movement patterns
  • Progressive Load Training: Gradual backpack weight increase builds real-world strength
  • Weekend Simulation Hikes: Practice sessions that build confidence and identify weak points
  • Mental Resilience: Physical preparation builds the confidence to tackle any summit

"I’ve been training with Keegan over the past couple of months to prepare for a hiking trip in the Dolomites, and it’s been a game-changer. Every session is well thought out, tailored to what I need, and pushes me just the right amount. Keegan’s approach is motivating without ever being too much — he knows how to get the best out of you. I’ve felt stronger each week, and the progress has been clear both physically and mentally. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a PT who genuinely knows his stuff and actually cares about your goals."

"Training with Keegan through the Summit Ready program has been an absolute game‑changer. Even after a severe injury, I’ve not only lost weight—I’m stronger, more confident, and far more in tune with my body.Every workout is tough but motivating, and Keegan always pushes me just enough without it ever feeling overwhelming. His expertise and genuine dedication to my goals have made a huge impact: I’ve gone from struggling with a 5K to signing up for a marathon, and I even conquered winter Ben Nevis and 5 days in the Dolomites!"
