Legs gone halfway up. Lungs burning on the climbs. Knees shot on the way down.

Not a faceless app — meet me below
The Alpines is a 12-week training programme that lives in an app on your phone. It turns regular humans into the kind of people who hike all day and summit without wanting to die.
Making it up the Tube stairs without needing a lie-down? Bagging your first Munro? A week hut-to-hut in the Alps? We get you there.
£59 one-time. 12 weeks, 3–5 sessions a week. 30-day guarantee.
Open the app and follow along — every session planned for you.
Show up stronger — all day, summit and back.
Every workout planned, every rep counted — written by a personal trainer who actually hikes, not a robot who thinks burpees are fun. Just show up and do what the app says.
Workouts progress every 5 weeks so you don't plateau, and the app tracks every session. Not stronger in 30 days? Full refund.
Stuck on an exercise? Ask the coach directly in the app and a real person replies. Revolutionary, we know.
Four things that separate the “let’s turn back” people from the “let’s push to the top” people. We train all four.
Your legs currently have a turn-back point. We move it past the summit — and get you down the other side without your knees filing a complaint.
That gasping, stopping-every-50-metres feeling on the climb? Gone. Keep a conversation going while your friends gulp for air.
Full day pack, water, questionable amount of snacks. Your back won't break and your shoulders won't scream. Pack mule mode: activated.
A big day shouldn't cost you the rest of the week. Recovery protocols that mean tomorrow doesn't feel like death — and you can still walk down the stairs.
You have options. Here’s the honest version of how they stack up.

“This isn't guesswork — it's a decade of exercise physiology, pointed straight at the mountains.”
I'm Paul. For over ten years I've worked in health and exercise physiology — including exercise research with children at Great Ormond Street Hospital. My whole job has been measuring and coaching real bodies to get stronger.
So your plan isn't a generic template or AI filler. Every session targets what the mountains actually demand — leg endurance that lasts all day, lungs that cope with altitude, a back for the pack, and recovery that lets you go again tomorrow.
And I don't just prescribe it — I'm training for a hut-to-hut trip in the Picos de Europa right now. The Alpines is the exact plan I'd give a client before a big trip. Follow it and you'll show up measurably stronger — or your money back.
