Hike Fit
Love the idea of a hiking adventure, but not sure how to get fit for it?
Spend the next 10 weeks building the strength, fitness and confidence to enjoy unforgettable hiking adventures.
Build the strength and confidence to
say yes to more adventures.
Hike Fit is a 10-week training program designed specifically for women over 40 who want to build the strength, fitness and confidence to enjoy hiking adventures.
Through a combination of hiking-specific strength training, guided hikes, at-home training and the support of an incredible community of women, you’ll build far more than fitness. You’ll build the confidence to step onto the trail knowing your body is ready.
Maybe you’ve been dreaming about exploring more local trails, tackling a hiking holiday, or joining friends and family on walks you’ve never quite felt ready for. Whatever your goal, Hike Fit is designed to help you get there.
You're not just getting fit. You're training for an adventure.
Are you ready to:
step outside your comfort zone
meet amazing like minded women
create new friendships and connections
challenge yourself with a fun new outdoor activity
achieve goals that are motivating and fun
I’ve always believed that women deserve to feel strong enough to say yes to the adventures they’ve been dreaming about.
Yet so often I hear the same doubts…
“I’d love to do that… but I’m not sure I’m fit enough.”
Over 10 weeks, you’ll prepare your body for hills, uneven terrain and longer walks while building the strength, endurance and confidence to enjoy every step.
Because when you’re training for something you’re genuinely excited about, showing up feels different.
Before you know it, you’re saying yes to the adventures you’ve been dreaming about.
That's exactly why I created Hike Fit.
Hike Fit gives you something exciting to train for. Whether it’s a hiking holiday, a weekend away with friends, or simply exploring more of the beautiful trails we have right here on our doorstep, every workout has a purpose.
What Your 10 Weeks Will Look Like.
Weekly Hiking-Specific Training
Train once a week in a supportive group environment with workouts specifically designed to prepare your body for hiking. Choose from four Wednesday session times to fit around work and life.
Guided Training Hikes
Put your training into practice on local trails while building confidence on hills, uneven terrain and longer distances alongside a supportive group of women. You will have access to five guided group hikes.
Self-Guided Hikes
On alternate weeks, you’ll receive a self-guided hike to complete in your own time. It’s a chance to build confidence, enjoy the outdoors and put your training into practice—many members even organise to walk together.
Progressive At-Home Training
Simple workouts to complete between sessions so you continue building strength, endurance and confidence throughout the program.
Supportive community
Train alongside like-minded women who encourage each other, celebrate progress and share the journey.
Optional Celebration Weekend
Finish the program with an unforgettable hiking weekend on the spectacular NSW South Coast.* It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything you’ve achieved together.
*Optional and at an additional cost.
And much more…
Hike Fit is for you If:
You've always wanted to try hiking but aren't sure where to start.
You'd love to feel stronger and more confident on hills and trails.
You're planning a hiking holiday or bucket-list adventure.
You're looking for a reason to stay motivated with your training.

Before you know it, you’ll be looking at hiking adventures very differently—not wondering if you can do them, but deciding which one to tackle next.
Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Jo.
Adventure has become one of the greatest joys in my life, and I love helping other women discover what’s possible when they start training for the adventures they’ve been dreaming about.
For more than 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping women over 40 build strength, confidence and a healthier relationship with movement.
Over the years, I’ve realised that it’s almost never just about getting fitter.
They want to feel confident enough to say yes to the things they’ve been putting off… whether that’s a hiking holiday, exploring new places, keeping up with family and friends, or simply spending more time outdoors.
That’s exactly why I created Hike Fit.
It’s about so much more than preparing for one hike. It’s about building the strength, fitness and confidence to enjoy the adventures you’ve been dreaming about, knowing your body is ready for wherever the trail takes you.
I’d love to help you discover what’s possible when you feel strong, fit and confident enough to say yes to your next adventure.
Real Women. Real Adventures.
The best part of Hike Fit isn’t just getting fitter.
It’s seeing women discover what they’re capable of when they start training for something that truly excites them.
Here are just a few of their stories.
“When I first joined Hike Fit, I was worried I’d be the slowest or unable to climb the big hills.
What I didn’t expect was the amazing friendships I’d make or the endless possibilities hiking would open up.
Jo’s support, knowledge and guidance through the training have been invaluable.
I’ve learnt to appreciate my body for what it can do rather than how it looks, and I’ve discovered that hiking isn’t about being the fastest—it’s about challenging yourself and enjoying the reward.
Next year I’m taking on a multi-day hike in the UK, something I never would have imagined before Hike Fit.”
“I joined Hike Fit to see new places while getting the benefits of exercise, but I discovered it was about so much more.
Hike Fit is a complete wrap-around program that teaches you everything you need to know to succeed. I’ve become stronger physically and mentally, more consistent with exercise, and gained the confidence to keep pushing and trust the process.
I’m proud that I’m out there doing it instead of just talking about it. If you’re worried you’re not fit enough, don’t be. You don’t need to start fit—the program will help you get there.”
“I joined because none of my friends enjoyed hiking and I wanted people to share the experience with.
Climbing Australia’s highest mountain is something I never would have attempted on my own, and along the way I made two wonderful friends.
Hike Fit helped me achieve something I’ll always be proud of.”
“I was really worried about hills before joining Hike Fit.
Having a plan to follow, guided group hikes and training I could do at home gave me the confidence to tackle things I never thought I could.
Completing Hike Fit has given me the confidence to plan future hiking holidays—and yes, I even conquered the bush wee!”
“I joined Hike Fit as a personal challenge, although I was worried I wouldn’t be fit enough to keep up with the group.
I loved discovering beautiful local places I’d probably never have explored otherwise, and I was surprised by how much better I kept up than I expected.
Hike Fit has given me the confidence to tackle future adventures, and I’ve realised I was underestimating what I’m physically capable of.
If you’re thinking about joining, give it a go. It’s not a race or competition—it’s about reaching the destination at a pace you’re comfortable with and enjoying the experience together.”
“Hike Fit introduced me to beautiful local trails I’d never explored before and gave me the confidence to keep hiking on my own.
Meeting like-minded people and spending time in nature was one of the highlights for me.
I’d happily recommend Hike Fit to anyone wanting to discover more of the outdoors.”
“I wasn’t sure I had the endurance or fitness to complete a full day hike, but Hike Fit gave me the structure, encouragement and accountability I needed.
Completing the full day hike was a huge achievement because I hadn’t done anything like that since before I had children nearly 30 years ago.
I’m now fitter, stronger and more confident to take on more hikes and adventures.”
“Hike Fit gave me far more than fitness.
One of my biggest wins was putting myself first for a change. I gained confidence, a real sense of achievement, and even surprised myself with how proud my kids were of me.
I now have a better appreciation of what I’m capable of and can’t wait for more adventures.”
frequently asked questions
How fit do I need to be?
You don’t need to be an experienced hiker or an elite athlete to join Hike Fit.
As a guide, you should already be comfortable walking for around 30–45 minutes. From there, we’ll progressively build your strength, fitness and confidence to tackle longer distances, hills and uneven trails.
Do I need hiking experience?
Not at all. Hike Fit is designed for women who are new to hiking as well as those wanting to feel stronger and more confident on the trail.
What if I'm worried about holding everyone up?
This is one of the most common concerns I hear—and I promise you won’t be the only one feeling that way!
Our guided hikes are “no drop,” which means no one gets left behind. In fact, I’m usually the one bringing up the rear, chatting and encouraging whoever’s at the back.
What gear will I need?
You’ll need a good pair of hiking shoes or boots and a comfortable day pack during the program. If you don’t already have them, don’t worry.
I’ll help you choose the right gear for your goals—and avoid spending money on things you don’t need.
What if I can't make every session?
Life happens, and I completely understand that. Hike Fit is a progressive 10-week program, with each week’s training building on the last, so I do encourage you to commit to the full experience as much as possible. The more consistently you train, the more confident and prepared you’ll feel on the trail.
What if I can't make the final celebration weekend?
Can’t make the optional South Coast weekend? No problem.
You’re still very welcome to join Hike Fit.
You’ll receive the full 10-week training program, guided hikes, coaching and support to help you build the strength and confidence for your own hiking adventures.
