EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Rakel Goiri2025.02.20.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. **Outstanding Outdoor Adventure Training Programs!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've had an incredible experience with Outdoor Adventure Training Programs! Mickey is exceptionally supportive, always quick to answer any questions, and clearly communicates the goals of each section. His knowledge and guidance make the entire process seamless and motivating. I've personally used both the **Trek Prep** and **Powder Prep** programs, and they've been absolute standouts. Each program includes a perfect blend of mobility work, plyometrics, isometric holds, strength, power, and stability training — all tailored specifically to the outdoor activity you're preparing for. The training is easy to follow with the mobile app, and if you need extra guidance, the video training sessions are super helpful, even offering alternative exercises to fit your needs or limitations. The structure and support make it simple to stay on track while feeling confident you're preparing your body the right way. Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their outdoor adventures! Scott Martin2025.02.18.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outdoor Adventure Training has been the best winter sports program I've done! It started with easy movement and built up gradually—I wish I had done this years ago. I'll continue with it in the future. I recently did a 12-mile splitboard day and felt strong and fit, even at the end! Pete Ray2025.02.14.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great programming and super-responsive to questions, etc. If you enjoy outdoor adventure, OAT will help you build a solid fitness foundation so you can do more of what you love Richard Davis2025.02.14.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been following OAT programming for 3 months and plan to continue indefinitely. Below are my thoughts on the programming I've experienced: Programming: Foam rolling – Mikey is a foam rolling enthusiast and it shows. I appreciate that every workout begins with programmed foam rolling for target muscles. I typically add a few more minutes during the foam rolling warmup phase. Mikey programs all types of foam rolling and you will likely roll muscles you never considered before (like your triceps). Circuits – Pretty much every workout is a circuit, with 2 different circuits with 2-4 “sets” of 3-4 “reps” of 30-90 seconds. Great for elevating your heart rate while doing resistance training. Very lower body-focused with lots of single sided work, so you can find and work on asymmetries. The movements in these circuits are varied, though Mikey has his favorites that he programs in most workouts (these are going to be ones you hate. You hate them for a reason). Bodyweight/Equipment – Most exercises are bodyweight movements. In the videos, Mikey goes over variations to both increase and decrease intensity. The type of equipment Mikey favors is multi-purpose, relatively cheap, and small so if you have the space, a home gym can easily accommodate these workouts. In good weather (or bad if you’re a savage), these workouts can be done outside easily. Stretching – Balance of dynamic and static stretching. Lots of hip mobility work. Supplemental workouts – You have access to all of the workouts in the program phase you are in and you can switch around. Mikey highly recommends doing mobility work beyond the programmed workouts. Cardio – I am in a downhill focused program, so cardio is less than the uphill focused programs, but it is programmed twice a week, primarily zone 2 HR. It’s a good opportunity to get outside. Access: Workouts are programmed to your calendar using the OAT Fit app. The app is intuitive, and you can change your workouts timing around your life obligations. You rate your workouts on difficulty and leave a note. Mikey reads these and follows up. Mikey: Even though you’re watching workout videos and following along, you actually have access to Mikey and he is very responsive. I’ve asked him for book recommendations, had him modify my schedule to accommodate some injury issues, and asked him some clarifying questions on programming. He gets back quickly with detailed and contemplative responses. He is a very kind person and he encourages intensity, but not at the expense of good form and he has the calm demeanor and clear communication of a great yoga teacher. He has filmed videos for each individual exercise where he explains cues, variations, and general instruction on the movement. He has also filmed videos for the full workouts. His work ethic is incredible and deserves recognition. Mikey talks about proprioception often and has highlighted how important knowing one’s body is in training. Melina Saxman2025.01.21.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great experience with the Alpine Touring program at OAT! Spent 3 months getting ready for splitboarding season and it was exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciated how the program mixed solid training with a laid-back mountain vibe - the mobility work was super helpful, and doing rucks with friends made the training days something to look forward to. Definitely feeling way more prepared for backcountry adventures now. If you're looking to step up your touring game, this program delivers! Big thanks to Mikey for creating such an awesome training environment. I've been loving reaping the rewards of this training program in the field this winter. Tereza Kunkelova2025.01.20.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been doing the backcountry skiing outdoor training program for the past two months, and I absolutely love it! The workouts are easy to follow but still challenging enough to help me build strength and keep me motivated. Mickey is an amazing trainer—super supportive and always quick to answer any questions I have. I really enjoy the variety in the program. Each session targets different areas, including core, legs, and upper body, so it never gets boring. Plus, the inclusion of mobility exercises in every workout has made such a difference in my overall flexibility. If you’re looking to get in shape before any outdoor adventure with a fantastic trainer, I highly recommend this one! Lindsay Dye2025.01.08.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This program has taken my skiing and fitness to another level. Mikey is great at explaining and walking through exercises. He is communicative, encouraging, and passionate about helping you. I strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking to adventure outside. Whether you’re a novice or an expert, I think this program can elevate your performance.

Mikey’s approach to achieving personal fitness goals is grounded in a calculated, science-based methodology. Through the program, I’ve discovered new and enjoyable training strategies, and the consistent focus on mobility has delivered remarkable benefits. I highly recommend the Powder Prep Program!
