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!

I signed up for their trekking plan as I was preparing for an epic Nepal trekking adventure. Although, my trip needed to be pushed to the spring, I continued to follow their gym workouts and my regular hiking/ walking/ running. I am no stranger to training for events- from running to multi sport events to hiking adventures and have always incorporated gym workouts. BUT, as a very *ahem*middle aged woman, I recognized how important focused gym workouts are, even more so now, to accomplishing my goals. Even though, as my trip plans changed and I dropped the number of miles I was training, a last minute opportunity came up to hike the Grand Canyon. I have hiked South rim to North rim twice and south rim to Phantom to Bright Angel out now 2x, and usually plan for months before the hike. I knew I would be fine for this last minute hike (17 miles/4700 ft elevation and good ole AZ heat) albeit probably slower. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did and felt and 100% credit the strength workouts designed specifically for hiking/trekking. Without a doubt, the program was a game changer to not only helping accomplish my self imposed goals but to do so with greater strength and confidence and recovery. Having the perspective of completing the hike before OAT workouts and now after, I am thrilled with the results! I am confident that their program will help me reach my Nepal and more trekking goals. Two thumbs, or should I say hiking poles up!! I am

I’ve been training with OAT year-round, and it’s made a huge difference in my fitness and outdoor adventures. My ski fitness has greatly improved, and I’ve been able to climb 14ers, increase my trail running mileage, and tackle bigger backpacking days in the mountains without fatigue. OAT’s training programs have not only helped me push my limits but have also been my go-to for injury prevention, keeping me strong and ready for anything. Highly recommend for anyone serious about outdoor fitness!

I've been working with Mikey and Outdoor Adventure Training since the beginning of the year and have had a fantastic experience — exceptional support and guidance! My goals for 2024 included hiking a 100-mile section of the Camino de Santiago, doing a 5-day backpacking trip in Olympic NP, and running a 20-miler (getting ready to do in October). Mikey has done an excellent job designing strength and endurance routines to get me in top shape for my adventures.

During my backpacking trip, it was like I was living the Karate Kid movie! Step-up exercises had me bounding up boulders, Bosu ball balance drills built stable ankles and knees for leaping across creeks, and rucking practice got my core ready for the demands of a heavy pack.

Maybe most importantly, Mikey has been motivating and encouraging throughout my journey. He checks in regularly to provide feedback and ask questions. If you're looking for a personal training experience that is tailored to your individual needs and fitness goals, I highly recommend Outdoor Adventure Training — unparalleled!

I’ve enjoyed the powder prep program immensely. The app is great, the workouts are challenging, and I can feel and see the progress as I go. My legs have never felt so strong.

Mikey has truly designed a great program. From the workouts to the app, this program is a great all encompassing way to get ready for outdoor activities.

I am extremely grateful that these invaluable training programs exist. The OAT programs have helped me elevate my strength, agility, flexibility, and recovery. The easy to use app. platform makes accessing well thought out progressive workouts and recovery routines as easy as picking up my phone. The video demonstrations for every movement are so helpful in making sure I am getting the most out of the experience and staying injury free. It’s the best for my active lifestyle that has a dynamic schedule and causes me to travel, because I can fit the timed programs in when it makes sense for me. There is no doubt in my mind my recent month long expedition in Nepal was enhanced by my preparation through a well thought out OAT program. I am stoked more than ever for the upcoming ski season due to the Powder Prep Program as well. Big thanks to Mikey Bell and the OAT Team for creating such awesome Tools!

Mikey’s program rocks!! Every exercise has a great in depth tutorial vid and the auto timer and audio for workouts make it super easy to dial in and commit to a workout. I Have been doing it the last two seasons and turned pre season stoke into super strong legs and core and have been able to rip like it’s mid season on opening day and do big tours in November feeling strong soreness the next day. The progression built into the the programs is really great for easing in and getting form dialed and learning new exercises and then powering up. In app competitions for being consistent with workouts are also an excellent motivator. Would absolutely recommend for anybody trying to improve their fitness and especially skiers boarders and mountain athletes!
