  • A weekly mileage build tuned to your trek date
  • Direct access to me for form checks and adjustments
  • Accountability to help you stay on track

Straight talk

Who it's for

01You've got a trek booked in the next couple of months and one a 12 weeks plan built around you and your goal
02Your knees, legs, or feet start falling apart on long descents.
03Your legs burn and your heart rate spikes the second the trail gets steep.
04You're training, but you're not sure any of it actually transfers to the trail.

If you want a magic 2-week fix, this isn't it.

The coach

Why trust me

I'm Simon Lusignan. A certified Personal Trainer and Sport science and health teacher. I've hiked 4,000km across 30 countries, 800km of it above 4,000m, including EBC, Salkantay, Huayhuash and the O Circuit. I know what breaks people down out there because I've felt it, and I build plans to prevent exactly that.

What People Say About Working with Me

"Never hiked before, ended up leading the pack on the Salkantay Trek, 20-25km/day."

"Lost 60+ lbs, but the biggest transformation to me is that I used to hate hiking because I was always the slowest to actually enjoying it."

SSonia

"Felt it immediately, didn't feel my heart pounding as hard, after 4 weeks."

AAlex

"I felt stronger legs and more stamina by week 4. I actually could party with my niece for a lot longer than I used to."

Before you start

Frequently asked questions

How long until I feel stronger?

Most clients report noticeable strength gains by week 4.

What if I don't have access to a gym?

Plans are adaptable; strength work uses bodyweight or minimal equipment.

I want to lose weight or gain muscle, will this help?

Yes, one of the first things we do is figure out your goals, whether it's pure mountain performance or you want to lose weight or gain muscle along that. The plan will always reflect that goal.

How is this different from general fitness coaching?

General fitness will not necessarily transfer to the trail. The goal of this is to get you fit for the trail so you can actually focus on enjoying your next adventures instead of struggling with your fitness.

How many clients do you take per month?

Only 8 spots a month so I can coach every client 1-on-1.
