Adventure Fitness Program

NO ROADS FITNESS TRAINING

No Roads offers you and other trekkers fitness options for your upcoming adventure, ranging from single sessions to 20 session programs. The fitness training is undertaken in conjunction with Marc Stafford Health & Fitness & Pro Sport Health & Fitness on scheduled weekends at different training locations around Melbourne.

Fitness training is extremely important for all trekkers leading up to any No Roads expedition. The instructors present at each session have had first hand experience trekking to destinations like Kokoda and Indonesia and therefore tailor your training to fully and correctly prepare you.

TESTIMONIALS (SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID)

"Prior to my trek I added a 9-10 month specific Kokoda training program to my current four day a week fitness regime. The program designed by ProSport included muscle development in the legs, core stability training and endurance training in stairwells and outdoor treks. Having completed the trek I am in absolutely no doubt that the pre-trek training was an absolute essential for me. The pre-trek training provided me the confidence in my body to get through the ascents, the constant grind of hours on my feet, but most importantly the downhills. Walking downhill over rocks, tree roots and mud for hours at a time constantly jars on the feet, knees and ankles; which really highlighted the need for leg muscle and core muscle development emphasized by the pre-trek program." DAVID LINKE

"The entire Kokoda experience for me was one I will never forget.
From our group training sessions in Melbourne and meeting our group, to sitting round a camp fire in the middle of the Owen Stanley Rangers, to learning how to use an outdoor toilet!! I had the most fun and adventurous trip I could ever have asked for. The pre-departure fitness and bonding with our other trekkers made for the ultimate experience.
I am so glad I took Marc up on this challenge, he did an amazing job and was the backbone of our team bonding, using No Roads was probably one of the best decisions he made, we were looked after and fed like royalty!
It is however very hard to describe to people when you get back. There is such a feeling of achievement and accomplishment, also pride in what our soldiers when through. I would totally encourage (beg!) everyone to do it as it is something you will never regret and remember for the rest of your lives." EMMA FREEMAN
