Get Trail Ready
Hi I'm Tristan....
As a Strength and Conditioning coach & keen Hiker, I have spent years helping
everyday people improve their health and prepare for physical challenges.
I specialise in helping hikers build the strength and endurance required to take
on a challenging hike.
My goal is simple, to take you from being overwhelmed and worrying about
completing a hike to feeling strong enough to conquer it.
s free challenge is designed to help you start preparing your body for the trail.



Stronger on climbs
More stable on descents
Less fatigue carrying a pack
Not because the trail changed...
Not because you changed to lighter gear
But because your body became more prepared for it.
