Coach
Kim Palmer-Nicks

For the dedicated outdoorswoman who’s ready to push her limits.

This 12-week program isn’t for everyone—it’s designed specifically for women who live for backcountry hunting, long treks, and remote landscapes. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter workouts that don’t prepare you for the rugged challenges of the wild, this program was made with you in mind. I’ve crafted every movement and progression based on firsthand experience to help you handle whatever the wilderness demands.

Why This Program?

Tailored for the Hunt: Unlike general fitness plans, this program strengthens the exact muscles you rely on when navigating uneven ground, carrying heavy packs, and covering miles in remote areas.

Built by an Outdoorswoman for Outdoorswomen: I understand the unique demands of hunting and outdoor adventures because I’m out there with you. This program is based on experience, designed to get you real results.

Unmatched Preparation: With 12 weeks of focused strength and conditioning, you’ll build not only physical resilience but also the mental toughness to conquer tough terrain, unpredictable weather, and heavy loads.

Separation is in the preparation. Begin your journey today and ensure you’re ready for every challenge nature throws your way.

Decrease Risk of Injury & Fatigue
Inadequate conditioning and training for uneven surfaces and heavy packs can lead to fatigue or even injuries in the backcountry. Incorporating exercises that focus on stability, balance, and core strength, this program minimizes injury risk and enhances physical endurance. The program builds the stamina required to sustain energy over long days, preventing fatigue from becoming a liability.

Functional Fitness for the Outdoors
General gym routines don’t specifically prepare women for the unique physical demands of hunting and backcountry adventures, like handling uneven terrain, heavy loads, or sustained endurance. By training in ways that mirror real backcountry scenarios, participants build the strength, stamina, and balance needed to move confidently over tough terrain and handle the demands of long hunts.

Mental Resilience and Endurance
Successful outdoor adventures often require mental toughness in addition to physical strength, yet most fitness programs neglect this mental side. By gradually increasing the difficulty, it prepares you to dig deep, push through discomfort, and adapt to unpredictable conditions you may face in the backcountry.
