Train to Mountain gives your members a free, science-backed readiness check before they set off on a big trek. A member benefit they will actually use, and a quiet safety layer that means fewer of them arrive at the trailhead underprepared.
Free readiness check for members · No contract · Built by mountain athletes
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 off on their first high-altitude trek has actually done the training to walk every stage and come back down safely. That gap is where the incidents live.
A branded discount code, revenue share back to your association, free platform access for your guides, mutual public recognition, and a co-authored content option. Hover or tap any node to see how the ecosystem pays each side back.
Association
Guide Co
Athlete
The person actually training, preparing for a real multi-day trek on the calendar, from the Tour du Mont Blanc to Everest Base Camp.
Association
The partnership: a new revenue line for your association, a real perk your members feel every checkout, and a training platform your guides actually use, so your endorsement is defensible.
Membership benefits pile up but rarely feel like real perks. Members forget you even have any.
A code that carries your association's name. When members apply it at checkout, they know the perk came from you. Reinforces membership value in the moment.
Member dues plateau. New funding lines are rare and usually admin-heavy.
Every member who subscribes through your code sends a quarterly share back to your organisation. Zero admin on your side. Recurring revenue, indexed to member engagement, designed together (flat percent or tiered).
You can't credibly endorse a platform your own guides have never used. Members spot a rubber-stamped partnership fast.
Every active guide in your association gets full access, no limit. Their recommendation is defensible because they have actually used it.
Your association's website deserves more traffic. Google keeps ranking generic international brands ahead of you for your own country's trails.
We list you as an official partner and link back to your guide directory. Our audience grew +700% active users, +537% engagement in the last 90 days, and your endorsement rides on that reach.
Producing member content is exhausting. Your guides have knowledge but no time; your comms team has time but not the knowledge.
Your guides bring the voice; we write and host. One piece on training for the treks your members actually go for, published on both sides.
Guide Company
The partnership: a new revenue line from your existing clients, a way to see if they trained before they arrive, and a modern answer to the "how should I train?" question your guides keep getting.
Clients book with you and then vanish for six months. You have no way to add value between deposit and arrival.
Your code goes in the "thanks for booking" email. Real value in a real moment. Bonds them to you sooner and gives them a training path built for the trek they booked.
Client acquisition is expensive. Post-booking, there's no additional monetisation until the next trip.
Every client who subscribes through your code sends a quarterly share back to the company. New recurring revenue from the same customer, without you selling anything extra.
When a client asks "how should I train?" your guides give the same generic answer they've given for a decade. You know it's not enough anymore.
Your guides use the platform themselves. They prescribe it for a client's specific booked trek, based on the same tool the client is using. A modern answer to an old question.
You compete with global operators for organic search. Small ops can't outspend big brands on ads.
We list you as an official partner and link to your booking pages. When trekkers Googling their trek land on Train to Mountain, we route them back to you. Reach without paying per click.
You've had a client arrive who cannot do what they booked. It's dangerous, it's a refund headache, it damages your reputation. Every guide has this story.
The free Trek Check gives your guides a way to see, three months out, whether a client is on track. Awkward conversations happen in email, not on the mountain.
Athlete
The promise: arrive at your trek knowing you are ready. Not "did I do the training." Actually ready. Everything else follows from that.
You bought a PDF plan that assumed you're training for the same generic mountain as everyone else. Your Kilimanjaro is not their Inca Trail.
One plan, built for one trek. Every session references the objective you booked. Volume, vertical, days in a row and descent, all tuned to your trek.
Life gets in the way. You miss a week. Your PDF plan doesn't know or care.
Every Sunday the plan reads what you actually did that week (what you missed, what you smashed, how you slept, how you recovered) and rewrites the coming week to keep you on track for departure.
Your Garmin has all the data. Your training plan has none of it. You spend Sunday manually copying numbers.
Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Polar, Apple Health all wired in. Your body's real state flows into your plan automatically. No spreadsheet in between.
The night before your trip, you don't actually know if you're ready. You just hope.
One screen, one number. Ready for this specific trek on this specific date. Not "did I do the training." Actually ready.
Real training platforms feel expensive. Real coaches cost thousands.
Your association or guide company gives you a code. You pay less. They earn a share back. Everyone in the chain wins from you finishing the trek.
Platform
What we do: we replace the PDF training plan and the generic coaching app with a personalised, wearable-connected, weekly-recalibrated plan for one specific trek. And we share revenue with the associations and guides who send us the people we serve.
Every existing platform trains "the athlete." None train "the trekker walking to Everest Base Camp in October."
One plan, built around one specific trek. Volume, vertical, consecutive days and descent tuned to the itinerary the trekker booked.
PDF plans assume perfect execution. Real life is never perfect.
Every Sunday the plan reads what actually happened and rewrites the coming week. Plans learn; they don't sit static.
Most training platforms lock you to one wearable ecosystem.
Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Polar, Apple Health, all wired in. Use whatever you already wear.
Every trekker arrives at day one with the same silent fear: am I actually ready?
One honest projection, free to anyone, no account needed. It's the tool that generates value across the whole ecosystem: trekkers get certainty, operators get client vetting, associations get a member benefit.
Most SaaS charges its partners for the privilege of promoting it.
Every subscription that comes through a partner code sends a quarterly share back to that partner. Aligned incentives. Partners earn when we grow; we grow when partners endorse.
Your member picks the trek they are eyeing and the tests they want: the readiness runway in weeks and the weekly load it asks for, a muscular endurance score, their Zone 2 heart rate range and a fuel plan for the hardest day. They get one summary with their biggest gap, and the full report by email. No account required.
Does their date work, or do they need more weeks? Can they back one long day up with another? Which leg benchmark lags? One summary, the biggest gap first. Plain English a member can act on.
It is the safety talk your club has always wanted to give, delivered as a personal report instead of a lecture.
See a real report →Leg endurance lags the long descents this trek asks for. Build it before adding more volume.
Founder-led, personal reply. Usually within a few days. No mailing lists, no drip sequences.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The readiness check does not require an email to see the summary; the full report comes by email if they ask for it. Answers are aggregated, not attributed. A member only shares a result if they choose to. Full policy at privacy_policy.html.
A leaflet cannot tell a specific member whether they are ready for a specific trek on a specific date. This does. It sizes the runway and weekly load for that trek, checks the days in a row, scores leg endurance and builds a fuel plan for the hardest day, then names the biggest gap to close.
