About Training For Hiking

It shares strategies, tips and insights on preparing for hikes, and hosts both free and paid courses that go into more depth on specific topics.[1]

Summit Strength offers online personal training for hiking, trekking and mountaineering, applying principles from sport science and strength and conditioning.[2] Its main paid program is the Summit Success Program, and its Summit Education Series covers recovery, nutrition, hydration and dealing with aches and pains on the trail.[2] Services also include a Learn How To Train For Hiking course and training for mountaineering.[2] The business was founded by Rowan Smith, who began applying sport science and strength and conditioning to the demands of the trail after taking a job at an altitude gym in 2017.[3] Lavinia Kava is listed as its enrollment specialist.[3]
