"I hired Summit Strength to help relieve knee pain and train for an upcoming expedition to Mera Peak in Nepal.

The whole experience was very professional and personalised. It helped me deal with my knee pain and keep training.

The app is great for tracking workouts. I would recommend working with them to others."

- Patrick 
Since working with Rowan, I have become Australia's most accomplished female high altitude mountaineer.

In the last two years with the help of Rowan's coaching I have achieved the summits of six 8000m peaks. I also reached a height of 8450m without oxygen on Everest. I summited five 8000ers without oxygen including Makalu 8485m and reached the summit of K2.

None of this would have been possible without a structured training routine. Rowan not only makes sure that I will be physically ready to achieve my climbing goals, he tailors my program around my lifestyle.

​I cannot recommend Rowan enough. His knowledge is through the roof and I 100% trust him as my coach to help me achieve records on the highest peaks on the planet.

Rowan was great in breaking down the training process into individual steps and routines.

​He was sure to train the eccentric aspects of glutes/hamstrings/calves, which both strengthened my knees and allowed me to climb pain free for the first time in years. 

The moment I stood on the summit of Mount Vinson, safe & pain free, I knew I had hired the right guy!

Want To Get Fit, Strong And
​Resilient For Your Mountaineering?

A Quick Overview Of The Process

​1. specific training for Mountaineering 

We provide the training, guidance and direction to ensure your body is getting ready for anything the mountain may throw at it. Through a combination of strength training, conditioning/cardio and recovery, we ensure we cover all our bases to get you fit, strong and resilient for the mountain.

This is NOT a pre-made, cookie-cutter program, but all our recommendations are personalised to you, your goals, your needs and your preferences.

2. Education


There are dozens of other tips, tactics and strategies that can significantly enhance your training and time on the mountain. And that is where the Summit Education Series comes in. Here we cover topics such as muscle recovery, nutrition, sleep, mental strength development, dealing with aches and pains and high altitude. 
 ​
All of this (and much more) are covered in the Summit Education Series.

3. coaching and support

Each of our mountaineers gets assigned a 1:1 coach, who will be their guide and mentor through this journey. 

So any time you have any issues, questions or concerns (or need something adjusted) we are just a message away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these live training sessions?
No, our training is not live sessions or pre-recorded workouts. Instead, we create a customised and personalised training plan (which is delivered via our Training App), and you follow this when it best fits your schedule.
How many times a week do I need to train?
This is entirely personal. Depending on your goal, your experience and what you realistically can fit in your life will determine how many times a week you will be training. Once we get all that information from you, we can give you a specific recommendation.
What if I get foot, knee or back pain? (or have any other injury)
The number one priority of our programming is injury prevention. Meaning, that if you do have an issue, we will do everything we can to help. If you see a specialist, we will collaborate with them to ensure we are doing everything possible to help. And if you are not seeing a specialist, and we believe the issue is beyond our scope of practice, we will work around the injury until you can find one.
Do I need any equipment?
No, equipment isn't necessary to complete this program. If you would prefer to train with just bodyweight and a pack, that is fine. Alternatively, if you have access to some equipment (either at home or in a gym), we will definitely incorporate that.
