Mountain climbing is a challenging and difficult sport. High performance athletes, weekend warriors, and novice climbers alike are often surprised by the demands of reaching a summit because of the multiple and unusual rigors one faces on a mountain. Train 2 Climb is a comprehensive fitness program that combines six months of unique conditioning both in athletic clubs and on the trail with the final goal of summiting Mt. Rainier.

You and your summit team will engage in a unique training plan that is specific to the physical and mental challenges faced while mountaineering. This involves working with a personal trainer, strength and endurance training, and group training hikes. You will be confident and physically ready for the challenge.

This program was developed by Everest summiteer and international mountain guide Garrett Madison, to help novice climbers prepare for a successful summit attempt of Mount Rainier. Train 2 Climb is supported by NASM certified fitness trainers.
