Strength Training for Hikers
Stronger legs. Better endurance. Fewer aches on the descent.
If you love the trail, strength training will help you love it even more.
Why Hikers Need Strength Training
Hiking isn’t just a walk in the woods. It demands strength, balance, and endurance — especially when you’re climbing steep grades, navigating rocky terrain, or grinding out long miles under load.
Whether you're chasing summits, bagging peaks, or just enjoying weekend loops, a strong body makes the whole experience better. More stable uphill. More confident downhill. Less soreness when it’s all done.
At APX MVMT, we train for the trail — and for the long haul. Our strength-focused programs are designed to help hikers stay durable, injury-free, and energized for whatever the mountain throws at them.
Climb Higher with More Power
Tired of your legs burning halfway up the climb? Wish your pack didn’t feel so heavy? You don’t need more cardio — you need more strength.
The BYLD Track inside APX MVMT LAB builds lower body and core strength through functional, hiking-friendly movement patterns: squats, step-ups, lunges, and posterior chain work that translates directly to the trail.
You’ll climb steadier, carry weight better, and feel stronger over long distances.
Mobility That Supports the Miles
Steep trails, uneven terrain, and loaded packs can take a toll on your hips, knees, and ankles. That’s where mobility comes in.
Every track inside APX MVMT LAB includes warm-ups, cool-downs, and loaded mobility drills that restore joint range and control. You’ll move better and reduce your risk of tweaks, strains, and overuse injuries.
APX MVMT LAB helps reinforce joint integrity under load — using tempo work and position-focused strength training to bulletproof your body against the demands of the backcountry.
The result? Smoother movement and less wear-and-tear on your joints, mile after mile.
Endurance That Matches the Adventure
Long hikes aren’t just about legs — they’re about lungs, too.
That’s why FLOW Workouts inside APX MVMT LAB target aerobic capacity and muscular endurance. These lower-impact sessions are designed to help you stay energized throughout the hike, recover better post-hike, and keep your body resilient over time.
If you want to be the one still moving strong at the end of a full-day trek, this is your secret weapon.
Need a more custom plan? Private Coaching helps tailor your training around your schedule, your trips, and your goals.
TL;DR (to long; didn’t read)
