Here's How We Customize Your Fitness Package

All of our training programs are optimized for your trip itinerary and level of fitness and include both a resistance and an endurance training component. Customization for fitness programs are based on these personal factors:

  • Medical history (i.e., injuries, surgeries, etc.)
  • Activity profile (i.e., current and past exercise experience)
  • Available training days and available equipment
  • Itinerary and trip details

Meg B.I experienced no aches, pains or any other physical ailments on the trip. No doubt this was because I was completely physically prepared. I will definitely use Fit For Trips another time. And hopefully soon- as I am now addicted to adventure!

Christi W.I didn’t realize how incredibly personalized and perfectly matched to me every single day of the program would be. It started at the exactly right level for my fitness, and built perfectly throughout the 10 weeks. During the trek, I saw how every single activity prepared me for my adventure. I had the stamina and strength to make it up and down the long hills. I was thrilled with absolutely everything.

Jim M.At 55 I feel in the best shape of my life. I have great balance as I teeter over unsteady rocks, solid strength as I pull myself up and mental toughness as I do this last stretch to the summit!”. Each week of the personally designed program from Fit for Trips left me feeling better about myself than the prior one. I had a new outlook on life; a vision of what could be accomplished. Never did I imagine in 1999 when I was short of breath walking up the amphitheater steps at Red Rocks that one day I would be bounding up them 2-3 at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Fit For Trips work? In other words: After I purchase a fitness program what happens next?

The process is straight forward and simple.

  • First, you will receive a confirmation notice about your purchase.
  • Shortly after your confirmation email you will receive an email with username, password and next steps.
  • Then you will log into your account and answer questions about medical history, current and past exercise history, home or gym training, available equipment and trip details.
  • Marcus will review your personal information and customize your program.
  • At a convenient time you will chat with Marcus on the phone to discuss your program in detail.
  • If your program does not require any modifications then it's time for you to start training.
  • We stay in touch for questions, encouragement or further modifications along the way.

My trip is more than 12 weeks away. What should I do?

All our workouts are repeatable. For example, let’s say your trip is 16 weeks away. You can perform an 8-week program twice. Or, you can perform a 12-week program one time through and just repeat the last four weeks. That said, if you’re going to repeat a workout, we recommend your reaching out for a complimentary phone consultation at the end of your first program run-through. That way, we can work together to figure out the best possible plan, which may include a few modifications to the regimen at no additional cost.

Can I repeat the workouts?

Yes.  Whether you’re preparing for another trip or just want to get in better shape for a local adventure, you can repeat the programs as often as you like.  Before repeating programs you are welcome to contact us and discuss whether modifications are recommended. We’re happy to help at no additional cost.

Why do you offer programs ranging from 4 to 12 weeks?

In order to accommodate as many people as possible! Need more reasons?

  • By providing a range of durations, you can start and end your program exactly on your departure date
  • Some people are already in good shape but just want a short burst of trip-specific training as their adventure nears
  • You’re on a tight budget and only want guidance for a short period of time

Once I place my order, how long does it take to craft my custom fitness program?

Because every trip is completely customized, we ask that you allow up to four business days.

How long will my program be accessible?

We leave your account open, even after your trip ends, so you’ll have continuous access to your program.

FIT FOR TRIPS STORY

In 1998, Marcus was reminiscing about past adventures with his wife Pam, when he discerned that their extraordinary travels were not exclusively the result of unique itineraries and knowledgeable guides. They had also benefited from confidence - self assurance achieved by applying specific training principles up to each and every trip-departue. With over twenty years of fitness experience and a passion for adventure travel, Marcus launched Fit For Trips in 2009 so that every adventurer could get fit enough to fulfill their travel bucket list. We ask for the opportunity to pass on our knowledge unto you.
