The Online Summit Program is my online personal training service which was designed specifically to help hikers get strong and pain-free so they can conquer every adventure. 

What The Program Involves

  • A proven system to get you fit, strong and stable to tackle anything the trail might throw at you (even if the last time you did any exercise was in your high school gym class…)
  • A flexible training approach which will get the MOST amount of results from the LEAST amount of time (so you don't have to give up your job to fit in the endless amounts of walking so commonly recommended!)
  • Exercise programming to match YOUR environment (if you would rather train outside, in the gym or in the comfort of your own home - I've got you covered!)
  • Clear cut solutions to any problem which you might encounter in your preparation (which will save you countless hours trawling through Google hoping for an answer)
  • An adventure and fitness 'concierge' (anytime you have a question, query or concern you will be given immediate support to help)
  • The simple nutrition tactics which will keep your body healthy and fresh during both your training and your adventure (which won't involve any dieting, restrictions or disruption in your life)
  • The art of self-care on the trail (simple solutions to defeat sore muscles while trekking, which make an incredible difference!)
  • Simple and effective strategies to help you at high altitude (so you can minimise your risk of altitude sickness and maximise your performance and comfort)

"I first hired Summit Strength to help with trek readiness for my Kilimanjaro Climb. The process involved some great, concise, workout programs with a mix of cardio, strength and stretching specifically designed to target trek readiness in a short (6 week) amount of time. Would I work with them again? Yes!  I feel like I am in the best possible place to take on my challenge!"

"After seeing other climbers on the mountain struggling, I definitely felt the training program set out gave me an edge over the pack. I felt the training program set out by Rowan was perfect for the activities I was undertaking and can't thank him enough!"

"Even though I had a short time to get ready for a Kilimanjaro trek, Rowan helped me to get the most of it. The sessions not only helped me to improve my fitness level, but he gave me lots of helpful tips for the trek and his great knowledge and recommendations helped me to drop my eating habits. Train with Rowan! 10/10 recommended.”

GOT QUESTIONS? I’VE GOT ANSWERS.

Q: How is the programming delivered?
A: All the training is delivered through our Training App. Inside all your workouts, exercises and instructions will be loaded. It will tell you exactly what you need to be doing each day. All exercises come with clear video instructions and the app is incredibly easy to use!
Q: Will I need a gym?
A: No. If you have a gym membership, that is great! And we will definitely incorporate that. But if you prefer to train at home or outside, then that is not a problem at all!
Q: What type of training do you do?  
A: We don't do HIIT. We don't do burpees. We don't count calories. Instead, everything in our programming has an exact purpose, specific for the demands of your trek and your personal situation. 
Q: I  am new to exercise, will this be appropriate for me?
A: The exercises and programming are all tailored to you and your experience. If you are a beginner in training, things will be kept simple. And we will take you step by step through the process. Alternatively, if you are an experienced training, we will ensure the programming is on your level. 
Q: How many times a week do I need to train?
A: 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. 
Q: Do I need any equipment?
A: No equipment is 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.
