I had a great experience using Outdoor Adventure Training. Mikey has years of experience in a variety of disciplines. After our discussion, he crafted a customized workout program specifically for my upcoming event.  The platform was easy to use and very informative. The workouts are not only efficient, but each movement is accompanied by a video, so you know exactly how to do everything.  I highly recommend using OAT and I'll definitely be working with Mikey again for future adventures.

I’ve been training with OAT year-round, and it’s made a huge difference in my fitness and outdoor adventures. My ski fitness has greatly improved, and I’ve been able to climb 14ers, increase my trail running mileage, and tackle bigger backpacking days in the mountains without fatigue. OAT’s training programs have not only helped me push my limits but have also been my go-to for injury prevention, keeping me strong and ready for anything. Highly recommend for anyone serious about outdoor fitness!

I signed up for their trekking plan as I was preparing for an epic Nepal trekking adventure. Although, my trip needed to be pushed to the spring, I continued to follow their gym workouts and my regular hiking/ walking/ running. I am no stranger to training for events- from running to multi sport events to hiking adventures and have always incorporated gym workouts. BUT, as a very *ahem*middle aged woman, I recognized how important focused gym workouts are, even more so now, to accomplishing my goals. Even though, as my trip plans changed and I dropped the number of miles I was training, a last minute opportunity came up to hike the Grand Canyon. I have hiked South rim to North rim twice and south rim to Phantom to Bright Angel out now 2x, and usually plan for months before the hike. I knew I would be fine for this last minute hike (17 miles/4700 ft elevation and good ole AZ heat) albeit probably slower. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did and felt and 100% credit the strength workouts designed specifically for hiking/trekking. Without a doubt, the program was  a game changer to not only helping accomplish my self imposed  goals but to do so with greater strength and confidence and recovery. Having the perspective of completing the hike before OAT workouts and now after, I am thrilled with the results! I am confident that their program will help me reach my Nepal and more trekking goals. Two thumbs, or should I say hiking poles up!! I am

After spending six years navigating and rehabbing injuries, I never imagined I would have the strength I once possessed. However, thanks to Mikey’s incredible coaching, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been. Period. I could not be happier with the progress I’ve made, and I’m so grateful to Mikey for making it possible. I love the workouts and I so appreciate how often Mikey checks in and schedules time for me. 10/10, working with Outdoor Adventure Training has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

I've been working with Mikey and Outdoor Adventure Training since the beginning of the year and have had a fantastic experience — exceptional support and guidance! My goals for 2024 included hiking a 100-mile section of the Camino de Santiago, doing a 5-day backpacking trip in Olympic NP, and running a 20-miler (getting ready to do in October). Mikey has done an excellent job designing strength and endurance routines to get me in top shape for my adventures.

During my backpacking trip, it was like I was living the Karate Kid movie! Step-up exercises had me bounding up boulders, Bosu ball balance drills built stable ankles and knees for leaping across creeks, and rucking practice got my core ready for the demands of a heavy pack.

Maybe most importantly, Mikey has been motivating and encouraging throughout my journey. He checks in regularly to provide feedback and ask questions. If you're looking for a personal training experience that is tailored to your individual needs and fitness goals, I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Training — unparalleled!

I loved the backpacker’s program! I do CrossFit 5-6x a week, but I really needed supplemental exercises to help to fortify my joints (especially my knees). The stability and mobility ended up being something that I didn't know I wanted/needed. I try to do mobility when I can but never really do as much as I should. Having it programmed in short 15-20 minutes a day helped me to consistently work on my mobility. The biggest thing I noticed after doing about 6 weeks of the programming was that the descents of longer hikes (10+ miles) were not uncomfortable at all anymore. My knees felt great. I recovered faster from the longer hikes. I was able to comfortably carry my 38lbs pack for the Trans-Catalina Trail, with some extra hikes thrown in, it was a 50 miles and 10k ft climb. I did it with NO trouble at all.

Overall I really enjoyed the program and will absolutely do it again.

Mikey and the OATs training have been amazing. I’m in the best shape I have been in years. It’s not just an app it’s my own personal trainer helping me  get ready for my outdoor adventures. I highly recommend Mikey and OAT

I recently completed a training program with OAT, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Mikey Bell was my trainer, and his guidance was instrumental in my successful summit of Mt. Shasta. He helped me understand how to utilize a plant-based diet to achieve the best results, which was a game-changer for me.

The exercises Mikey introduced were perfect for building strength, mobility, and flexibility. I particularly appreciated the monthly check-ins, which kept me on track and motivated. The app provided by OAT is fantastic—intuitive and easy to use, making my training routine seamless.

Mikey was always available when I needed him, providing support and answering any questions I had promptly. Overall, my experience with OAT and Mikey Bell was outstanding, and I highly recommend their training services to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals and next adventure.

Mikey Bell and Outdoor Adventure Training are a byword in our family for fun exercises and a great ski season. We get so much more enjoyment out of the season due to the guided app and youtube videos.  Mikey has a great teaching methodology and practice, delivered in a fun way. A big thanks to him and Outdoor Adventure Training.

I’ve been skiing my entire life but don’t have access to consistent mountain action. OAT got me mountain ready and I really enjoyed the balance and strength combination. Plus I was able to do my workouts almost anywhere. Anything I can do to keep it all working at 50+ I’ll take it!
