For Alpine Clubs & Associations

Your members go higher. Send them ready.

Train to Mountain gives your members a free, science-backed readiness check before they attempt a big objective. A member benefit they will actually use, and a quiet safety layer that means fewer of them arrive at the mountain underprepared.

What keeps you up at night

The gap between ambition and preparation.

Your members are getting bolder. The objectives are getting bigger. The one thing your club cannot see from the newsletter is whether the person heading up their first 4,000m (13,100 ft) peak has actually done the training to get back down safely. That gap is where the incidents live.

1
Underprepared members become incidents Safety
The tired member on the descent is where most accidents happen. It is not skill they are missing on the day. It is the twelve weeks of preparation nobody checked before they set off.
2
Education is the piece everyone knows is missing Duty of care
Clubs run skills days, avalanche courses, first aid. Physical readiness for a specific objective is the gap that rarely gets covered, because there has never been a simple, honest tool to hand a member.
3
Member benefits that members ignore Retention
Rescue insurance, hut discounts, a journal. Good, but rarely the reason someone renews. A tool that helps a member actually reach the summit they joined to attempt is a benefit they feel, and remember at renewal.
Why clubs work with TTM

A benefit your members feel on the mountain.

You already give your members community, skills, and safety culture. Train to Mountain adds the training layer between the ambition and the objective, offered under your club, at no cost to your members.

1
A free readiness check for every member Benefit
Your members get an honest Summit Readiness Score for the peak they are eyeing, free. A benefit they use before every big objective, not a card they forget in a drawer.
2
A safety layer, quietly Fewer incidents
When a member sees an honest number that says "not yet", they add time instead of pressing on underprepared. The tool does the hard part of the conversation. You get members who arrive ready to get back down.
3
Real training science, not a leaflet Credible
Built on the Banister fitness-fatigue model and a polarised 80/20 framework. Adaptive plans recalibrated weekly. The kind of rigour your members expect from the club they chose to join.
4
Something to renew for Retention
A benefit that helps a member reach an actual summit is a benefit they remember when the renewal notice lands. It gives your membership team a reason to talk about, not just a fee to justify.
5
Co-branded for your club Roadmap
A club-branded readiness check and landing page for your members is on the roadmap. Early association partners help shape it and keep first-mover terms when a paid model arrives.
6
One link for the whole membership Simple
No per-member admin on your side. Share one link in your newsletter or member portal. Every member who is eyeing a bigger objective can check themselves, whenever they need to.

What your member actually sees

An honest number, before it matters.

Your member answers a short set of questions about their fitness, longest day, terrain, recovery, altitude history, and the peak they are eyeing. The same Banister fitness-fatigue model behind the Train to Mountain algorithm returns a Summit Readiness Score and shows exactly where the gap is. No account required to see the number.

The conversation your club wishes every member had before setting off.

Above 70: ready. Below: not yet, and the report shows the gap and how many weeks it takes to close. On track. Building. Behind. A band, a colour, a plain-English verdict a member can act on.

It is the safety talk your club has always wanted to give, delivered by a number instead of a lecture.

We partner with clubs directly. We work with a small number of alpine clubs and mountaineering associations one at a time, so each partnership gets real attention. A fully club-branded member portal is on the near-term roadmap; early partners help shape it and keep first-mover terms. This is the moment to talk.

Questions clubs ask

FAQ.

What does it cost our club or our members?

Nothing. The readiness check is free for your members to take and free for your club to offer. Early association partners help shape a club-branded version and keep first-mover terms. No contract, no lock-in.

Is this a training provider that competes with our courses?

No. We do not run skills days, guiding, or in-person courses. Train to Mountain covers the physical preparation between a member deciding on an objective and standing at its base. It complements the safety and skills education your club already provides.

Do we have to manage accounts for our members?

No. You share one link in your newsletter or member portal. Members check themselves whenever they need to. There is no per-member admin, no logins for your team to manage, no data for your club to hold.

Can it carry our club's branding?

A club-branded readiness check and landing page is on the roadmap. It is not live on day one. If it matters to your club, tell us in the form and we will prioritise it with our early association partners.

What data do you hold about our members?

The readiness check does not require an email to see the number. Answers are aggregated, not attributed. A member only shares a result if they choose to. Full policy at privacy_policy.html.

How is this different from a fitness leaflet in the members' handbook?

A leaflet cannot tell a specific member whether they are ready for a specific peak on a specific date. This does. It uses the Banister fitness-fatigue model, a peak-specific demand curve, and a set of sub-scores that combine into one honest Summit Readiness Score, with a plan to close the gap.
