Adventure Fitness Program

No Roads offers you and other trekkers training options for your upcoming adventure, ranging from single sessions to 20 session programs. The fitness training is undertaken in conjunction with Marc Stafford Health & Fitness and Pro Sport Health & Fitness on scheduled weekends at different training locations around Melbourne.

Fitness training is extremely important for all trekkers leading up to any No Roads expedition. The instructors present at each session have had first hand experience trekking to destinations like Kokoda and Indonesia and can therefore tailor your training to fully and correctly prepare you.
