Helping Hikers Overcome Pain & Build
Strength for Every Adventure
Training & nutrition coaching designed to help hikers
feel strong, confident, and pain-free on every trail.
Who This is For?
Are you a hiker struggling with pain, unsure how to train, or worried about injury on a big adventure? Trailside Fitness helps hikers prepare for long-distance hikes with a customized strength, mobility, and endurance plan so you can hit the trail feeling strong and confident.

What Makes This Different?
Most hikers train the wrong way or not at all, leading to pain, burnout, or injuries that force them off the trail. My program is designed specifically for hikers and includes:
🔷 Custom Training Plans (strength, mobility, endurance)
🔷 Injury Prevention Strategies to reduce pain & keep you hiking
🔷 Personalized Nutrition Coaching with expert guidance
🔷 1:1 Support & Accountability so you stay on track
🔷 Post-Hike Recovery Plan to help you transition after your adventure
Training & Nutrition for Hikers
I offer two main coaching services to help hikers perform at their best:
🔹  Adventure Ready Training – A customized strength and endurance program built for your hike. Designed to help you carry a pack, climb tough terrain, and reduce injury risk so you can enjoy the trail without pain.
🔹 AMROCK Nourish Nutrition Coaching – Hiking takes more than just training—fueling properly is just as important! My science-backed nutrition coaching helps you eat right for training, recovery, and performance in the backcountry.

“Hiking 175 miles across Costa Rica in 10 days was the biggest physical challenge of my life—and I’m still pinching myself that I did it! Lee’s training played a huge role in my success.
As a novice hiker, I faced steep climbs, heat, and humidity, but Trailside Fitness prepared me beyond my expectations. Lee’s customized program eliminated joint pain, built my endurance, and gave me the tools to push through tough moments. I stayed strong while others had to stop early.
Thank you, Lee! I never imagined I was this capable. If you want to train smarter for a big trek, this is the way to go!”
“I worried I’d invest in this program and then make excuses—but working with Lee for a year has been priceless. His expertise as a thru-hiker, CrossFit athlete, and physiotherapy expert made this the most well-rounded, effective training I could have hoped for.
I built strength, endurance, and resilience week by week, drastically improved my recovery time, and had access to expert resources like Blaze Physio & Backcountry Foodie. If you’re thinking about working with Lee, do it—but come in committed. He gives you everything you need to succeed!”
“I wasn’t sure if I could budget for this while saving for my hike, but it was the best investment I could have made. Lee’s program covered everything—strength, endurance, mobility, nutrition, and mindset—helping me train smarter, not harder.
Once on trail, I had minimal aches and pains compared to others and felt fully prepared. Lee, your expertise made all the difference! I’d recommend this program to any aspiring thru-hiker.”
