Who This is For?
Are you a hiker struggling with pain, unsure how to train, or worried about injury on a big adventure? Trailside Fitness helps hikers prepare for long-distance hikes with a customized strength, mobility, and endurance plan so you can hit the trail feeling strong and confident.
What Makes This Different?
Most hikers train the wrong way or not at all, leading to pain, burnout, or injuries that force them off the trail. My program is designed specifically for hikers and includes:
🔷 Custom Training Plans (strength, mobility, endurance)
🔷 Injury Prevention Strategies to reduce pain & keep you hiking
🔷 Personalized Nutrition Coaching with expert guidance
🔷 1:1 Support & Accountability so you stay on track
🔷 Post-Hike Recovery Plan to help you transition after your adventure
Training & Nutrition for Hikers
I offer two main coaching services to help hikers perform at their best:
🔹  Adventure Ready Training – A customized strength and endurance program built for your hike. Designed to help you carry a pack, climb tough terrain, and reduce injury risk so you can enjoy the trail without pain.
🔹 AMROCK Nourish Nutrition Coaching – Hiking takes more than just training—fueling properly is just as important! My science-backed nutrition coaching helps you eat right for training, recovery, and performance in the backcountry.

“Lee expertly tailored programs to fit my needs, using everyday items in place of equipment and helping me make the most of limited time.
I signed up to overcome an injury and get in shape for my first thru-hike, and I’ve successfully done both. I haven’t had a flare-up since, and my endurance, strength, and confidence have all improved. Plus, I’ve lost 30 lbs and gained muscle! I highly recommend Trailside Fitness!“
“My top priority was injury prevention—I wanted to train safely while getting stronger. Lee’s program gave me the targeted workouts and stretches I needed to address problem areas, build confidence, and stay on track. I feel stronger, more prepared for my thru-hike, and equipped with the knowledge to manage pain and prevent injury. This program has been invaluable—I’ve already recommended it to others!”
“I wasn’t sure if I could budget for this while saving for my hike, but it was the best investment I could have made. Lee’s program covered everything—strength, endurance, mobility, nutrition, and mindset—helping me train smarter, not harder.
Once on trail, I had minimal aches and pains compared to others and felt fully prepared. Lee, your expertise made all the difference! I’d recommend this program to any aspiring thru-hiker.”
