Question 1

How do I access the programme after purchasing?

Accepted Answer

Trek Ready is a US$59 one-time purchase in the FITR app. Tap Start Trek Ready, create or sign in to FITR, buy, and both 8-week tracks open. FITR's checkout terms apply.

Question 2

What equipment do I need? Do I need a gym?

Accepted Answer

No gym needed. It's built around functional strength work with minimal equipment, and adapts to what you have, at home or in a gym.

Question 3

Which track should I start with: Base or Summit?

Accepted Answer

Base is 4 sessions a week for building consistent strength, aerobic fitness, and uphill and pack capacity. Summit is 5 sessions a week for people who already train consistently and can handle a higher workload. One purchase includes both, and you don't need to finish Base first. If five sessions sounds like a stretch, start on Base.

Question 4

How far out from my trek should I start?

Accepted Answer

About 8 weeks before, enough to complete all 8 phases. With longer, use the extra time for general base-building first, or ask about the Personalised Trek Plan for a longer managed build.

Question 5

What if my trek is less than 8 weeks away?

Accepted Answer

You can still start, and a shorter runway still helps. Choose the track that suits you, begin as soon as you can and train as consistently as possible. Trek Ready is built to be completed in 8 weeks, so with less time you won't reach every phase. Treat it as improving your readiness rather than fitting months of adaptation into a few weeks. If your trek is demanding and time is short, ask us whether 1:1 Coaching is a better fit.

Question 6

What coach support is included?

Accepted Answer

Trek Ready is self-guided: exercise cards, technique cues, progression guidance and the free Training & Education Hub. Individual changes, reviews and direct coaching aren't included. For those, choose the Personalised Trek Plan or 1:1 Coaching.

Question 7

I'm already fit. Do I still need this?

Accepted Answer

General fitness and trek readiness aren't the same. Running, cycling or the gym build a base, but not specifically repeated climbing, steep descents, loaded-pack carrying or back-to-back long days. Trek Ready targets those gaps.

Question 8

Is it personalised to my trek?

Accepted Answer

No. Trek Ready trains the demands common to major multi-day treks, not your specific route or timeline. For a plan built around your trek, date and schedule, choose the Personalised Trek Plan.

Question 9

Will it prepare me for altitude?

Accepted Answer

It builds the strength and endurance for demanding days, but fitness doesn't guarantee altitude tolerance or prevent altitude sickness. High-altitude treks need a proper acclimatisation plan, attention to symptoms and qualified local guidance.

Question 10

Which Peaksted option is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Start with the free readiness check. Trek Ready is US$59 one-time and self-guided. The Personalised Trek Plan is US$89/month with a new individual block each month. 1:1 Coaching is US$249/month (3-month minimum) with weekly reviews, nutrition and fuelling strategy, and 24/7 coach messaging in FITR, replies within 24 hours, and a 14-day fit guarantee (complete your first two weeks and weekly review). Only five 1:1 places are available.
