What are the benefits of MTNTOUGH Gym Foundation?

We leveraged years of research & development plus everything we learned from our Minimal Gear Foundation Program and our Backcountry Hunter Programs to create MTNTOUGH Gym Foundation.

This program is all about backcountry performance and is specifically designed for a beginner to medium level athletes. This program will concentrate on the following three areas.

• Gym Equipment - Introduce gym equipment to learn form and functional movements to improve backcountry performance.
  
  

• Work Capacity - Work capacity, in essence, increases the amount your body is used to recovering from. High work capacity is ideal for a backcountry hunter who needs to perform for 7-10 days in a row under stress, or any outdoor athlete who needs to perform at a high level all season in rugged terrain.
  
  

• Full Body Strength - This will be a combination of upper body, lower body, and core strength to improve overall durability and endurance in the mountains.
  
  

• Cardio & Flexibility - Improved cardiovascular system and flexibility to be able to push further with faster recovery times.
  
  

• Mental Toughness - The foundation of all our programming, our goal is create a resilient athlete that is prepared to overcome adversity.
