"I'm stiff and sore."
said no WILDR client ever...
"I participated in the 8 week Hike Ready Program, to get ready to challenge Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Maine. I just returned from successfully completing this hike. The terrain was rocky and steep, with parts of the trail taken over by a re-directed brook. I was well prepared, especially for the extended steps up and down. And I'm especially happy to report that the day after, I'm not stiff or sore, with just a hint that I had a strenuous hike. Thanks Alecia!"

Out of all the clients I train...
Hikers tend to be the ones who underestimate their bodies the most on the trail.
We prioritize everything from the boots we wear to the best backpack and poles, but rarely give any attention to how our body is going to show up for us when we’re actually out.
And I hate to break it to ya, the best backpack on the planet is not going to help you when your legs feel like fire, your lungs are about to pop out of your chest, and you feel like the terrain has a personal vendetta against you.
The solution is easy.
The Hike-Ready 8-Week Program is the easiest way to make sure you have a great hiking season because it’s designed specifically for hikers.
No more random workouts or inconsistent routines!
You’ll be guided through short, 20-30 minute workouts over 2 distinct phases designed to help you make the most of our short hiking season.
Just press play and FOLLOW ALONG for the entire workout.

What Other Online Programs Miss
As someone who hikes 100s of kilometres each season and trains people to do the same, here's what most hiking training programs miss.
Hike Specific Exercises
These programs miss one of the
MOST IMPORTANT aspects of training: mobility-specific exercises for hikers.
Personalized Coaching
You can find all the free programs in the world, but they lack the customization, accountability. and coaching support you need to actually DO the exercises.
Post-Hike Recovery
There’s little to no focus on post-hike recovery, so no matter what you do, you still feel sore after a day on the trail.
This is the hike training program you won’t regret buying
(and will actually finish!)
"Leading up to spring time, I wanted my body to feel ready for hiking season, so the first hike was not a disaster. I completed Lake Ohara, July of last summer, went farther, and higher elevation than I thought my body could handle and was so proud of my body on that day."

FAQs
Question:
How are the workouts delivered?
Answer:
The workouts are delivered through our app, Fit by Wix. Strength workouts are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, with a Bonus Workout on Thursdays.
Each workout has two options:
1. A full follow-along video of the workout (if you like that extra motivation!)
2. A written breakdown of the workout with video demonstrations of each exercise.
Question:
Do I have to do the workouts on the scheduled days?
Answer:
Nope! If your workout schedule looks a little different than what we have in the hike program, that's ok. You can complete the workouts on the days that make sense for you.
Question:
What equipment do I need?
Answer:
You Need:
1) Added weight. These can be dumbbells, a barbell, a sandbag, or your cast-iron pots and pans.
2) A step (10,12 or 14 inches), and a space for yourself. This can be a step on your staircase, a sturdy chair or a stool.
3) Resistance bands of a few different stretchiness. Sweaters or leggings work GREAT for resistance bands :)

I’ve always been drawn to outdoor adventure. Elite ski racing, competitive trail running, rock climbing, mountain biking…I love getting outside and interacting with our world!
With WILDR Fitness, I combine my love for adventure with a research-based approach to fitness training called the Adventure Ready Model.
With this model, I've been able to accomplish some amazing things!
In 2021, this model helped me; finish third for females at the Lost Soul 50km Trail Race.
And in 2022, it also led me and my paddle partner to the fastest ever descent of the Yukon River by a female team in the Yukon1000—1,000 mile paddle race!
