What to Expect

I strive to enhance your confidence in successfully reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro.

To reach that point, we’ll first discuss the Fit For Trips Big 5^TM – an essential strategy that serves as the foundation of a successful training program. For trekking mastery, you need to balance all five elements in your training plan. Then, I will pose three primary questions.

#1 WHAT ROUTE ARE YOU TAKING TO THE SUMMIT?

#2 WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST CONCERNS?

#3 WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT TRAINING PLAN?

In less than 30 minutes, you gain a clear understanding of what it takes to get in shape for your Kilimanjaro adventure, and we wrap up when you reach one of these three conclusions.

A

You are confident that your training is progressing well and that you will continue to work independently.

B

Your training is almost perfect, but now you know what to add to proceed independently.

C

You conclude that my coaching instills the most confidence in you, and so we begin.

I’ve developed a unique Kilimanjaro training strategy based on the exact elevation gain and distance required for each route, providing you with clear weekly goals. Whether you have access to trails or rely on a treadmill, stair stepper, stairs, or hills, my tailored formula ensures your training remains effective, achievable, and simple. This structured approach consistently boosts climber confidence and significantly increases summit success rates.
