Outdoor Group Trek Training Defined
The weekly 2 hour trek training sessions start out with a hiking specific warm-up that includes stick rolling, a 5-10 minute walk, simple glute strengthening exercises, and dynamic stretches. We then begin the "workout" where we intermix hiking with exercises that specifically train the muscles you will utilize on the trail and will help to improve your mobility, stability, and strength. Another part of our workout includes interval hill training to help increase your cardiovascular endurance for those long climbs on your treks. This portion is done at your own pace as everyone walks at different speeds. The session ends with a cool down that includes a relaxed 5-10 minute walk back to where we started and static stretches to help improve flexibility and help prevent injuries. Rest assured that at any time during the session, if an exercise is taught that you do not feel comfortable doing or you know that you should not do, then Sheri will help you find an exercise that suits your comfort level or your needs, or you can opt to rest as well.
Investment for the 2025 Winter/Spring Outdoor Trek Training Season
*Sessions purchased for this 2025 winter/spring season must be used during this 2025 winter/spring season. In the event that we must close down due to another pandemic or natural disaster, you will be given a refund of sessions you have remaining.
Important New Information for this Winter/Spring 2025 Season:
Due to this season being shorter than usual, we need to hold off on the unlimited package and only sell the individual sessions, as well as the 5 & 10 session packages. Once we know that everyone has been able to sign-up for the sessions they purchased, we will then open up a second wave of sign ups for those who can come to more sessions. For the first wave of sign-ups we will ask that you only sign-up for one session per week for now. However, if you purchase the 10-session package and you know you won’t be in town or able to come for two or more of the weeks this season, then you can sign up for more than one session during the weeks that you are in town. This will allow you to come to your 10 sessions. The full procedure for sign-ups will be explained in your welcome letter that you receive after signing up for the season.
How do I sign up for this season and purchase individual sessions, or a 5 0r 10 session package? Sign-ups will start on Monday February 24 at 8AM. There will be a link at the top, middle, and bottom of this "Group Trek Training" page that says "Sign up for Women's Winter/Spring 2025 Trek Training Season, Click Here!" When you click on this link it will take you to the sign-up form. Fill out this form, and then push submit at the bottom of the form.

Sheri sends the welcome email as she receives notices of sessions being purchased. She will be glued to her computer for the first few days of sign-ups, beyond that, she will be checking at various times during the day. If you want your welcome email to come quickly, don't wait to sign up! The welcome email will explain how to sign up for each of your purchased sessions via "Signup Genius."

Cancellations for sessions you sign up for: If you need to cancel a session, Sheri needs to know 48 hours in advance of the session you signed up for. Email (sheri@transformtrekking) or call/text (206-465-1795) to let her know. Cancellations that happen 24 hours in advance, will now count as a session. If you get sick within the 24 hours prior to your session, let me know as soon as possible. Depending on the situation, you should be able to reschedule your session without losing it.
Will there be make-up sessions if there is poor weather and we have to cancel? This is possible at Yost park but due to permitting procedures at Lower Woodland and St. Edward State Park it is no longer possible. In the past I was able to easily throw in a make-up session, but this is now much more difficult. These two parks want the dates that we will be using them a year in advance. I will do my best to have make-up sessions at Yost Park, but I can no longer do make-up sessions at the other parks.
