TRAINING FOR YOUR
EVEREST ONE ADVENTURE 

Preparing for the Mountain — Your Way

​

At Everest One, we know that no two adventurers are the same. Everyone brings their own background, fitness level, and even favourite style of training to the table. That’s why we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” preparation. Instead, we work with you to create a training approach that’s realistic, achievable, and targeted towards the mountain or trek you’ve chosen — whether it’s Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, or Mt Everest.

​

Our goal is simple: to help you arrive at the trailhead confident, prepared, and ready to enjoy every step of the journey.

How Everest One Helps You Train

​

When you sign up for one of our expeditions, we’ll guide you through the key areas of preparation that matter most for mountaineering and trekking success. Together, we’ll shape your training so it works for you and your lifestyle, while still building the strength and endurance needed to thrive at altitude.

​

Here are the foundations we’ll focus on:

​

💪 Strength Training

​

A strong body is your best safeguard on the mountain. We’ll help you target:

• Leg strength for uphill climbs and carrying a pack.

• Core stability for balance on uneven terrain.

• Upper body strength if ropes or climbing gear are required.

​

🫁 Cardiovascular Endurance

​

Mountains are built on stamina. We’ll support you in developing a cardio program that builds lung capacity and endurance through running, cycling, swimming, or hiking — whatever works best for you.

​

🥾 Sport-Specific Training

​

Nothing prepares you for the mountains quite like being out in them. We’ll encourage you to replicate the demands of your expedition by:

• Completing long, single-day hikes.

• Progressing to multi-day hikes with overnight gear.

• Carrying a weighted backpack, gradually increasing the load.

• Incorporating hills and elevation gain to simulate mountain terrain.

​

🧗 Technical Climbing Skills (For Climbs, Not Treks)

​

If you’re heading on a climbing expedition, you’ll also need to practise the skills of the sport itself. We’ll guide you on how to:

• Build confidence using ropes, harnesses, and fixed lines.

• Practise with crampons, ice axe, ascenders and rappelling devices.

• Develop safe movement over rock, snow, and ice.

Personalised for Your Goal

​

Training for Kilimanjaro is very different to preparing for Ama Dablam. Trekking to Everest Base Camp is not the same as climbing Mt Everest. With Everest One, your training will be customised to match your mountain, and adapted to your personal preferences — so preparation feels motivating, not overwhelming.
