Mountain Fitness Training is based in Canmore, Alberta, where many adventures in the Canadian Rockies begin. Qualified personal trainers experienced in such adventures will create your personalized training plan that will enhance your fitness for your next mountain adventure. Whether you’re planning a ski traverse, a mountain climb, a multi-pitch route or you want to get ready for skiing or climbing season, Mountain Fitness Training can help take the guesswork out of your fitness plan. A program designed specifically to train you for your mountain adventure goals will ensure the best use of the time you can devote to training.
Mountain Fitness Training was co-founded by Paula Macdonald and Angela Bargen, certified personal trainers who love putting their own fitness to the test in the mountains. The idea for Mountain Fitness Training came about on a ski trip in the Alps. Angela and Paula were taking a break after a long skin up a glacier and were discussing the training programs they had each designed for themselves to prepare for the seven day hut-to-hut ski traverse. They both had family obligations and work that kept them busy and their training programs had to accommodate the realities of their lives. They realized that others must experience the same challenges getting fit for mountain adventures and knew immediately that they wanted to help.
Together, Paula and Angela have years of experience rock climbing, skiing, mountaineering, ice climbing and training others to be fit and strong in order to reach their goals. They look forward to helping you prepare for your own glorious mountain adventure.
