Message from your Adventure Coordinator…

Thank you for choosing us for your upcoming bucket list adventure. We are fully committed to ensuring your well-being throughout the trip, and we encourage you to prepare yourself physically beforehand.

If you're unsure whether your current training program will sufficiently prepare you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, we have a solution. We've partnered with Marcus Shapiro, a highly experienced Hiking Strength and Conditioning Coach from Fit For Trips. His expertise in preparing adventure seekers like you is unparalleled. Feel free to reach out to him for guidance and advice.

 

My training advice will boost your confidence. Here's why...

In 1988, I began my fitness journey. In 1993, I became a personal trainer to help others achieve their fitness goals. By 2009, I launched Fit For Trips to assist adventure travelers in getting fit. With decades of experience, I'm more confident than ever that no matter what obstacles you might face, I have the training solutions to ensure you can reach your goal and show up as prepared as possible for your next Lasting Adventures experience. I've helped thousands of hikers train for well over 100 itineraries in over 30 countries. You are safe with me, and I'm excited to be an extended member of the Lasting Adventures Team.

Complete the consultation form below so we can discuss your current training routine and determine if any adjustments are needed to fully enjoy your upcoming experience.

Owner, Fit For Trips

What to Expect During Your Consultation

My ultimate goal is to boost your confidence and training knowledge, enabling you to complete your hiking adventure with less stress and strain while enhancing your safety.

To get to that point, we’ll first talk about the Fit For Trips Big 5TM – a must-have strategy that forms the core of a successful hiking program. For hiking mastery, you must balance all five in your training plan.
Then, I will ask you three primary questions.

#1
WHAT HIKE DO YOU WANT TO GET FIT FOR?

#2
WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST CONCERNS?

#3
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT TRAINING PLAN?

Our conversation turns fun as your curiosity intensifies. You ask questions. I respond. Then the lightbulb goes off in your head!

In under 30 minutes, you FINALLY understand what it takes to get in shape for your next trail or mountain hike. It’s like an epiphany. We are done when you conclude one of these three things.

A

You are confident that your training is on track and will continue to work independently.

B

Your training is nearly perfect, but now you have learned what to add to proceed independently.

C

You decide that my coaching gives you the most confidence, and so we begin.
