About The Everest Workout Series

The Everest: A Trek To Base Camp Series entails 18 parts that will take you all the way up 17,500+ feet to the world famous Everest Base Camp. But don’t be intimidated! Though you may assume that this workout series will be extremely challenging, it was designed for all skill levels.

ProForm and iFIT work well together to provide a user the option to opt out of the iFIT guide’s adjusted speed and incline during workouts and manually select their preferred adjustments while continuing to follow the workout. Then, once a user is ready, they can easily start again and follow the iFIT guide’s automatic adjustments with a touch of a button. This innovative feature is to provide some comfort to those who are concerned about not being at a certain fitness level to keep up with their iFIT guide during the workout. With time and as a user’s strength and endurance improves, this feature may not be used as frequently, though it stands as an accessible option if ever needed.

Like other iFIT workouts, you will experience more than just a great workout in this Everest workout series. As you climb, trek, and make your way up the mountain, you’ll work through a variety of steady speed, train-to-terrain, and recovery workouts all the while learning about the rich history and culture of this mountain, those who have climbed it, and the Sherpa communities who live on it.
