Enjoy your adventure. Don’t just endure it.
A 16-week training program built specifically for thru-hikers — designed by a two-time thru-hiker and injury prevention specialist, and trusted by Blaze Physio.
Who’s This For?
You have a permit in hand or a trip date confirmed. You want to show up to your trailhead strong, pain-free, and ready for everything the trail throws at you — not hoping your body holds together past the first week.
You might have a history of knee pain, a nagging hip, or an ankle that’s never quite right. Or you’ve never trained specifically for a multi-week hike and don’t know where to start. Either way, you’re serious about this trip and you want a program built by someone who has actually done it.
What Makes This Different?
Most hiking fitness programs are built by people who haven’t thru-hiked. They train you for a day hike, not 500 miles with a pack. The Adventure Ready Program is different because it was built from the inside out — by someone with a physical therapist assistant background, two thru-hikes completed, and hundreds of hikers trained to their trailheads.
Every client goes through the TRAILS Method — a six-pillar system covering assessment, resilient foundations, adventure-specific strength, intelligent conditioning, lifestyle integration, and sustainable self-care. It’s not a generic fitness program with a mountain photo on it. It’s 16 weeks of purposeful preparation that ends with a trail transition phase your body actually needs before a long trip.
The program includes a free consultation with Blaze Physio, an automated training hike progression built around your specific mileage and pack weight goals, a full Plan B workout library for bad days and flare-ups, and direct async access to Lee throughout your 16 weeks.
TRAINING FOR HIKERS
The Adventure Ready Program
16 weeks. One clear offer. Built for hikers with a confirmed trip date who want to arrive ready.
Includes: progressive strength training in 30, 45, or 60-minute sessions, your choice. A training hike plan built around your starting mileage and goal pack weight. A free Blaze Physio consultation. The full Plan B recovery library. Weekly check-ins. And a trail transition phase in weeks 15 and 16 that most programs don’t think to include.
$1,897. Rolling enrollment, you start when your timeline requires it, not on a fixed cohort date.
