EXCELLENT Based on 61 reviews Posted on Marissa Bluestein2025.10.14.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Using the OAT app has been a great way to take the guesswork out of how to train properly for hiking and backpacking trips. There is a weekly schedule and easy to follow videos along with consistent support and availability from Mikey if you have any questions. I used the program to train for a Colorado trail thru hike and was able to finish the trail injury free and still feeling strong after 500 miles. I would highly recommend training with OAT if you want to increase your mobility, feel strong and be prepared for whatever adventure you have planned.Posted on Blake Bluestein2025.10.13.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The 6-month Summit Strength program from Outdoor Adventure Training was a complete game changer for me. I found the sport specific workouts to really increase my performance and endurance while climbing difficult objectives in the North Cascades. The app provides all the background and videos for each exercise and movement, making each workout easy to follow. Mikey is very helpful checking in throughout the program, answering questions, and offering different exercises or modifications. What I found very helpful were the mobility routines. I found that staying consistent with the mobility routines really helped me with some tightness and aches in my knee that would bother me after long hikes/climbs. I have recommended this program to friends and family, and they also have had great results! Highly recommend working with OAT for training any outdoor sport you do.Posted on Jay De La Sierra2025.10.11.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply stated, Outdoor Adventure Training (OAT) was and is a game changer to my backpacking training and aspirations. The APP is user friendly and the training is what and how the user decides to make it. There will be no time spent in anything else other than training and improving. My coach, MIKEY, was and is very attentive to my needs. MIKEY makes it a point to promptly answer and/or solve any interrogatives or future plans. MIKEY’S superb training knowledge and experience will become immediately obvious to the trainee. I began my OAT journey in April of ‘25. My goal: to complete the John Muir Trail (JMT) in 10 days. Foot problems kept me from sustaining a high level of training. MIKEY personally assisted me via phone, and messages, but most importantly, he was able to bring me back up when I was feeling down about my field training performance. MIKEY also assisted me with dealing with a pesky Achilles. That kind of attention is something I have never experienced from any trainer. I was ultimately able to train for (261 miles) and complete the JMT in 11 days (211 miles). A total of 472 backpacking miles since linking up with OAT in April. I will recommend OAT to friends and family. It is my intention, at almost 64 years old, to make OAT part of my outdoors and retirement lifestyle. Peace.

As a hiker for 10 years and a gym-goer for 15 years, I honestly just accepted that knee pain and screaming glutes, hamstrings, and calves were a mandatory part of every multi-day hike I did (even the shorter 60 km ones). Seriously, I thought that's just how it was! Then I planned the massive Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB). Knowing my usual pain wouldn't cut it, I signed up for OAT's Trek Prep Program. What a game-changer! I loved the holistic approach: it's not just grinding away; it includes deep stretching, foam rolling, and serious strengthening, all from home workouts. The result? I finished the TMB totally pain-free! It was the first time I actually enjoyed every moment instead of just managing pain. The proof is in the pudding: two months later, I felt so confident that I tackled another tough 65 km hike in the Canadian Rockies with a heavy pack (33 lb)—and guess what? Zero issues again! This program didn't just train my body; it completely changed my whole hiking experience. If you love the outdoors but are tired of the pain, do yourself a huge favor and get this training. It's phenomenal!Posted on Marianne Yoder2025.10.05.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used this program to get ready for a long hike. It was a wonderful program to follow.Posted on Lexi Stout2025.09.20.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t say enough great things about Mikey and the OAT program/community! The progression of workouts builds from basic stability up to power, which I really appreciated after struggling with the “give it your all” mentality of other programs that didn’t seem to work for me. Such a well planned mix of form, mobility, cardio and strength that helped me confidently backpack through Olympic NP and the Enchantments out in Washington. Coming from flat Florida, I’m extremely proud to have crushed this trip and am already planning what’s next!Posted on Cynthia Brunet2025.09.20.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing app! Finally, a training program tailored for long-distance hiking. Thanks to this program, I had an incredible experience on the TMB. The exercises are well-suited for preparing for a long trek. I highly recommend this app.Posted on Landon Woodward2025.09.04.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So great! I got so much attention from a remote trainer. I met my fitness goal and then some!Posted on Heather Cooper2025.08.24.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outdoor Adventure Training (OAT) has been by far the most professional and comprehensive training program we have ever tried. Six months ago, at 51 & 55 years old, my husband and I had a big goal to hike/climb to the top of the Grand Teton, our first 14'er. We have always been active, but like most people, we had holes in our training, things we avoided or overlooked. The OAT Summit Strength program filled those gaps plus some. The program is specific, comprehensive, organized and enjoyable to do. Put in the work and you will be ready for your adventure with the guidance of Mikey Bell and his Outdoor Adventure Training program. Thank you and now onto the next adventure!Posted on Dave Kuster2025.07.29.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mikey has a great training program and the app is very easy to use. This helped me prepare for the biggest backpacking trip I’ve done so far. I performed great, and my confidence level has gone way up. He’s also extremely responsive for questions/guidance/etc. I’ve recommended OAT to multiple people on the trail and will continue to do so.
