Are You Prepared to Succeed?

According to Alaskan Guides across a variety of species and landscapes, 30-60% of hunters on Guided Alaskan Hunts fail due to physical fitness.
Backcountry hunting demands more than skill and determination—it requires strength, endurance, and mental toughness. Hunters who arrive unprepared often miss opportunities, cut their hunts short, or even put themselves at risk.

Here's what hunters are saying about their HuntStrong Fitness experience:

Jonathan - Michigan

"Since working with HuntStrong, I've quickly done away with some pretty pathetic belief systems about what can be done, and I can tell (most importantly, really feel) that I am on my way to my best self/goal weight, while I prepare for a dream hunt that is a few months away."

Todd - Alberta

"Jack at HuntStrong set me up with a fitness program tailored for my needs and goals in the backcountry. I met him in an online meeting and found him easy to talk to and really liked that as a mountain hunter himself, he understood what I needed from a fitness program. This was important to me. I also liked that he took my age (57) into consideration along with my goals of hitting the mountains with a 60 lb pack and being in the physical shape I need to be when I do it."

Joshua - Alaska

“I’ve been working on my hunting fitness for several years but have always felt like I’ve lacked knowledge and direction with my workouts and nutrition. Jack has been extraordinarily helpful in setting up a plan for me that is customized to me. HuntStrong is definitely the place to be for your outdoor fitness needs!”
