EXCELLENT Based on 44 reviews Renee Spear2025.05.19.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OAT is everything that I've been looking for in a training program. I am currently in the Summit Strength program prepping for a Mt. Baker summit this year. I HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone looking to train for outdoor adventures of any magnitude. Mikey's approach to outdoor training is incredible. I see a direct application of each training session to my goals, and I have seen huge results on the trails in the last ten weeks or so of training. The program is very fun with easy-to-follow videos and timed workouts. Furthermore, Mikey drops all kinds of fun facts and queues during the follow-along videos that I've found to be incredibly useful. He's also great at communicating and supporting his clients. If you're looking for a training program, look no further! OAT will get you prepped for your next adventure. dev laxman2025.05.18.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my Salkantay trekking prep with OAT and the training helped me a lot. Highly recommend to anyone prepping for adventurous activities! philthechef2025.05.14.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. How lucky I was to stumble across OAT and Mikey Bell on YouTube two years ago. At the time I was preparing for a knee operation and used his videos on YouTube to get as strong as possible pre op. So when I was planning to tackle the Haute Route this last winter I knew there was one person I needed to have my back. I signed up for the 6 month Alpine Touring program. I loved every moment of training with Mikey, even though I’m all the way over in France I felt like I had my own personal trainer right there with me. Having a schedule to follow, which was also adjustable to fit around life, kept me accountable and most importantly consistent. I trained even when I didn’t feel like it because I didnt want to feel like I was letting him down!! Anytime I had question or concerns Mikey responded so quickly. At one point just before the Haute Route I got really sick and concerned I’d lost all my hard work. Mikey managed to dig me out of my hole and totally change my mindset. In the end the Haute Route was a massive success and I put it down mostly to being prepared by OAT. I cannot recommend OAT and Mikey enough to anyone who wants to take on any challenge in the mountains from multi day events to tackling your local hill. Everyone is made to feel capable and important. Bravo Mikey and thanks again buddy, you da man! Cob Peier2025.04.03.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mikey and his programme have been the perfect preparation for continuing hiking as an older person. I didn't realise how underdeveloped so much of my body was! I feel many years younger and so much stronger and less prone to injury. Also, recovery time is drastically reduced with much less pain. I appreciated the cadence of the workouts and the calm of the way it was presented. He is always quick to respond to messages. I will never be as flexible or powerful as he is, but that is not the goal. I am at my best for my upcoming adventures and thank him for bringing me to this stage. It wasn't easy, but it met my needs in many ways. Thanks OAT. Shea Coons2025.04.02.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined the Alpine Touring program with OAT to break out of a rut and shake up my routine. The first stage felt a bit basic for me, as I entered with a high level of base fitness, but it would be ideal for someone coming off a period of rest or starting from a lower fitness level. As the program progressed, the workouts became much more engaging and challenging. I especially appreciated the strong emphasis on single-leg strength and stability, which noticeably improved my skiing. The rucking was also incredibly beneficial—not only for hauling gear on a Yurt trip but for overall backcountry fitness. One of my favorite aspects was the mobility routines—my body always felt refreshed afterward. Mikey was highly responsive and did a fantastic job designing this program. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to prepare for their mountain pursuits! David Mack2025.03.19.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mikey has a great program that I believe would be helpful to skiers of all abilities. He is an enthusiastic instructor, and the follow along videos are challenging, but fun! The training program really helped me a lot this season and I plan on doing it again next season. Katherine Melbourne2025.03.06.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OAT has improved my fitness so much! I have gone through one of my best half marathon training cycles as a result of the strength programming of Coach Bell. Plus he is a joy to work with and always supportive and there to answer your questions! I’m so glad I found this program! 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
