I like the overall gains I’ve seen both from Mountain and Strong swift durable. I’ve noticed solid gains in ground I can cover or (particularly with a load, i.e. hunting pack, entry vest, etc.) along with stamina and core strength which comes out in cross-country MX races. I’ve managed top 5 finishes in nearly all […]

At no point during the entire 2-weeks on the mountain did I feel strength was ever a limiting factor
In preparation for climbing/skiing a technical line on Aconcagua I thought I would try something new for preparation and used your Big Mountain Training Program. While I did supplement the program with long runs (9-14 miles) 4-5 days a week and big weekend outings here in Breckenridge there is no doubt that the program had […]
I’d say that almost without exception, I was the only one not physically damaged
BACKCOUNTRY BIG GAME HUNTING PLAN “I just wanted to reach out to you about your Backcountry Big Game Hunting Program. I’m just coming off of a three week backpack trip in the Mackenzie Mountains in the Northwest Territories and I used your program to prepare for it. There’s no question in my mind that it […]
I’ve been using your programs for years
GENERAL “First I wanted to just say thanks for your great training plans. I’ve been using your programs for years and seen great results from both your mountain athlete programs when I was a ski patroller and in my current military career. Keep up the good work.” – O
The training plan did a great job of focusing on every aspect of fitness
RAINIER TRAINING PLAN “Thank you for your amazing Rainier Training Plan. I used it leading up to an attempt on Rainier’s Liberty Ridge. While we didn’t summit because of bad weather, I felt extremely strong and fit during the climb. The training plan did a great job of focusing on every aspect of fitness that […]
I found MTI and your programming has, in all honesty, turned my life around.
GENERAL “I was an outdoor ed teacher for a long time and considered myself a backcountry athlete… even did the infantry thing when I was young. I say “considered” myself a backcountry athlete because I had a rude awakening about 5 years ago my buddy got me into hunting and back into fishing. After a […]
No one addresses fitness like MTI
I’m a professional in the fitness industry and I really appreciate what you and your staff are doing at MTI. I spend a lot of time programming classes and training sessions for my own clients that I don’t spend enough time programming for myself. But, like you, I like being a lab rat for others […]
MTI prepared me for the mountains
This fall I spent 2.5 months in the mountains and backcountry hunting Dall Sheep, caribou, mountain goats, moose and Stone Sheep. As a hunter and camera operator, my pack would routinely weigh 60 lbs, with a day pack of 40 lbs or more. We would do 20 km days, up to 60 km with light […]
In only 7 days I solo summited Denali
I wanted to thank you for an excellent Mountain athlete programming and your recommendations of a training plan. I just got back form Denali. In only 7 days I solo summited Denali via West Buttress and safely solo skied off the summit. I moved from base camp to 14K camp in 3 days in single […]
Huge kudos to you and your 100 Mile Training Plan
