What is the IHT? It’s an opportunity to take your fitness outside the gym and use in the Salmon River Mountains of Idaho. Members from gyms across the states gather in McCall, Idaho and are lead each day on a different adventurous hike by Coach Ryan Heywood. 3 days - 3 different hikes. Each hike averages around 5-6 hours with varying distances between 8-12 miles and 2000-3000 feet of vertical gain. The views are incredible. The camaraderie is long lasting. And the challenge is worthy. At night, we have reservations made for us at area restaurants to experience the local fare. It’s a fitness vacation you will not want to miss. (Did we mention that Coach Ryan makes you a Rustic Brown Bag Lunch for each hike?)
YOU KNOW THAT FEELING AFTER A WORKOUT AND YOU GRAB BRUNCH WITH ALL YOUR GYM BUDDIES - IT’S LIKE THAT EXCEPT IT’S MOUNTAINS AND TREES!
SURE YOU CAN LIFT A HEAVY BARBELL, BUT HOW DO YOU FARE WHEN THE MOUNTAIN IS THROWING TERRAIN AND STEEP VERT AT YOU?
EACH DAY WILL PRESENT YOU WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE FITNESS YOU HAVE GAINED IN THE GYM, OUT IN THE BACKCOUNTRY OF THE SALMON RIVER MOUNTAIINS.
