As Seen In

Hike Training

That gets you Adventure Ready

Imagine, on the final day, as you take the last steps of the hike, how incredible you will feel - not only physically having achieved something amazing, but also emotionally, knowing that you are successful, that you can do it, and that no one can take that away from you.  

 

As you shout to the world “ I did it”, you will feel “ the buzz” that only comes with completing  a multi day hike and will be already thinking about what’s next.

What Other Women Say

I was the oldest on the trek by 15 years but only two of the 13 were more “hike fit” than me.

I was very anxious leading up to the trip, as I am 7-8kgs heavier than when I did my last multi day hike.  I knew the terrain in Patagonia was tough - rocks, scree, steep inclines, and long days. 

 

Women’s Fitness Adventures, had trained me brilliantly. Training, and the right training is the key. I could not have done it without your help.

- Jenny

I still can't believe I walked 800km across the north of Spain on my own.

I love the great outdoors but wasn't confident venturing on a hike on my own.

The transfer of hiking skills and fitness has given me the confidence to step outside of my comfort zone.

Without the skills I have learnt in fitness & hiking knowledge I would never have had the courage or stamina to walk the Camino de Santiago.

- Anne

I now feel comfortable going to Iceland - before it seemed very daunting.

Going into the unknown is a challenge in itself.

I trusted in the training program and adapted it to my life of family, work and leisure.

The Functional Fitness videos are a bonus when you cannot get out on the trails. You can do it anytime, anywhere

- Margaret

This Program Is For You If:

You're worried about finding the time to build up hiking fitness and holding others back.

• Find out EXACTLY how you can back up day after day when first starting out, without being too stiff, too sore or too exhausted to enjoy each day.

Learn how you can be better prepared with your walking fitness, regardless of life's other commitments and be LESS concerned over whether you are holding others back due to lack of preparedness.

You're worried about hurting yourself on the trail or worse still, a longer term injury.

It can be difficult to enjoy your time on the trail if you're dealing with foot pain or blisters. That's why choosing the right footwear is so important.

With the right pair of boots, you can make the leap from walking 5-6 hours/day to being able to manage longer 5-7 day hikes without any challenges for your feet.

You’re unsure of what clothing and equipment to pack. It all seems so overwhelming.

Find out EXACTLY what you need to pack (and, importantly, what you DON'T need) for your next 5-7 day hiking adventure.

If you are new to hiking and you have " no idea" what you need, the change to talk 1:1 to experts about equipment and your options will be invaluable for easing any concerns you may have.

What it costs if you're NOT Adventure Ready for your hike
(Hint: It can be hundreds of dollars, physical injury or no enjoyment)


Buy the wrong gear for your adventure and find it’s not suitable.

What that means is that you be in agony or really uncomfortable during your hike as a result of sore feet or wet clothes or having to do more work than others.

Your fitness is not up to standard and you can’t finish.
This can be hugely demoralising, not to mention the cost of not being able to complete the hike.

You injure yourself on the trail because you didn't have the
strength & stamina.

This could be a long term rehabilitation with ongoing pain and niggles along with the potential difficulty of of extracting you from the hike if your injury is serious.

You choose the wrong adventure and realise after day one
you're a misfit.
This can rob you of the exhilaration we know adventures with the right people can
bring and this is priceless.

Your dream adventure turns into a NIGHTMARE because you weren't
ADVENTURE READY.

When you think about all the possibilities, this could literally cost you thousands of dollars, rob you of an experience of a lifetime and potentially cause you injury.

Why we designed this journey,
this program.

JIM JER SEY

JIM JER SEY

When we are out on the trails we are ALWAYS stopped by other hikers who ask many questions about their upcoming hikes. Questions they haven't been able to find the answers to. Like fitness, or trail etiquette, toileting, choosing a hiking company and more.


That's why we've put together our Adventure Ready for Hiking Course.

With so many trails and companies to choose from, it can become overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start, or what to take or what fitness level you REALLY need. OR even how to get the fitness and the skills in the first place.

Our interactive Adventure Ready for Hiking course will give you the fitness, skills, knowledge and confidence to FINALLY book that hiking holiday.

This course gives you ALL that you need. As Margaret, a long term team member says:


"I have the confidence in being able to properly prepare for my adventures. Thanks to what I have learnt I know that I have the right gear for the occasion, the knowledge to prepare my fitness and trust I can reach my goals".


So go ahead and register your interest.

This course could be the difference between you completing your adventure or NOT and could save you thousands of dollars in gear & equipment, gym memberships, or worse still, pulling out of your adventure and losing your investment.


I do hope to meet you in the course.


Yours in adventure,

Yvonne Shepherd, Founder, CEO & C.R.E.W Leader

  • Learn how to correctly choose, wear and pack a backpack so that your shoulders and back are preserved AND you enjoy every minute of your hike.

How much is the course?

You're probably wondering about the cost of the course.

But first, I'd like to ask you a question. How much is this walking or hiking holiday REALLY worth to you?

Think about the cost of your adventure, the gear & equipment, the planning, minimising injury.

If you're like me, completing the adventure AND having the best time and returning happily to talk about it with everyone I know means EVERYTHING to me.

By making a small investment, in your pre adventure preparation will give you the skills, confidence and results

you are looking for to successfully book or complete your hiking or walking holiday.


BUT it only happens if you take action NOW.
