Get Mountain Fit

Get Mountain Fit is a 6-week intensive boot camp designed to prepare you physically and mentally to take on a mountain.

Based in Shropshire and the Welsh Borders, this programme focuses on building real-world strength, endurance, confidence, and mountain-ready skills — not just general fitness. Everything you’ll work on over the 6 weeks has a clear purpose, with the option to put it all into practice on a guided mountain hike at the end of the programme.

This isn’t about racing anyone else or hitting arbitrary fitness targets. It’s about feeling capable, confident, and prepared in a mountain environment.

Training takes place across the week to build consistency, strength, and endurance:

• Mondays & Wednesdays: 6:00pm – 8:00pm (Based mostly around Lime Kiln Woods)
• Fridays: 7:30am – 9:30am (Based around the Wrekin and surrounding area)
• Weekends: Saturday or Sunday morning
  • Longer walk (approximately 4 hours)
  • Day confirmed weekly depending on conditions and group availability

Sessions are designed to progressively prepare you for longer days on your feet, varied terrain, and time spent outdoors.

At the end of the 6 weeks, participants who feel ready will have the option to join a guided mountain hike.

There will be a 2-week gap between the end of the boot camp and the hike to allow for recovery and preparation. Participation in the hike is optional and dependent on readiness.
