Your outdoor training should
change your gym plan.
Plan your week outside — ski days, trail runs, hikes, rides, pack days. Montis adapts your strength work around what you actually did, and what it cost you to do it.
From the Montis lab in Bozeman, Montana — clinical rehab, strength coaching, and big-mountain sport under one roof.

You do the mountain work.
Montis changes the gym.
Most apps record what happened. Montis uses what happened to decide what should happen next.
Train outside. Lift accordingly.
Steady effort
3,000 ft target
Harder than planned
High descent load
Heavy eccentric work moved.
Plyos removed.
Recovery work added where it belongs.
Every change gets a plain-language why. No black box. No generic readiness score.
Plan the mountain. Train in the gym. Let the week adapt.
Tell Montis what your outdoor week looks like. Your mountain days flow in automatically — Apple Health in the iOS app (Apple Watch, Garmin), Strava on the web — or a one-tap manual log. As the week actually happens — the big vert Saturday, the Friday you didn’t mean to push — your gym program adjusts around it. You show up. Montis handles the sequencing.
We figure out where you are. We program from there.
Ski season, a trail race, a hunt, a base. Add your event date, current volume, and the days you can actually train — Montis builds the block. Sixty seconds.
No daily roulette. Every session is ready to run — take it Standard, or tap Lighter when the day calls for less — then hit start and the guided player walks you through it: video demos, set-by-set pacing, rest timers, effort cues written by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and load recommendations that get sharper the more you log.
A heavy descent day. Two lower-body stressors inside 48 hours. A week that came in harder than planned. When the mountain takes more than the plan expected, Montis lightens what needs lightening, moves what needs moving — and shows you exactly why.
Weekly load, capability across strength, engine, and mountain, and a plain-language read on what got better and what to push next. No streaks. No confetti. No fake readiness score. The reward is a plan that stays right.
Pick the objective. Montis builds the preparation.
Say what you’re preparing for and Montis builds the block — then keeps it honest against your outdoor activity, your strength logs, and your event date. Skiing is where Montis started; everything else built outward.
Ski-season preparation for recreational mountain athletes. 4 phases × 3 weeks. 3 gym sessions/wk. Lower strength + braking, lateral control + trunk, ski capacity + durability. Adaptive around outdoor mountain days.
Full Montis-prescribed race preparation for 21K / 30K / 50K trail races. 4+4+5+3 phase architecture. Montis prescribes the runs (at intent + duration + RPE + vert — never pace) + gym + durability.
The year-round default. Strong enough, mobile enough, durable enough for hiking, skiing, running, climbing approaches, pack carry, and general mountain days. 3 gym sessions/wk. Loop or graduate to a seasonal build.
For trail runners who already have a run plan (own coach, TrainingPeaks, race calendar). Montis programs strength + durability + calf/Achilles + downhill tolerance + trunk + mobility around your running. Reads your real run load from Apple Health or Strava.
Pre-season prep for the recreational mountain hunter. 4-10 mile days with 35-80 lb packs in steep terrain, 60-100 lb pack-outs over multiple trips. The gym builds the chassis; the pack days teach the body to carry.
Climbing-supportive strength for V2-V6 boulder / 5.10-5.12 sport climbers. Grip durability + antagonist balance + lock-off strength + trunk. Conservative hangboard discipline — fingers decide progression.
The base under everything — strong, durable, for any body and any age. 3 phases × 4 weeks, 3 gym sessions/wk. Foundation (technique + moderate loads) → Build (barbell wave-loaded top sets) → Consolidate (heavy quality + power maintenance).
Freestyle / freeride. Plyos, rotation, landing tolerance — built for park, cliffs, and deep days. 2 phases × 4 weeks, 3 gym sessions/wk. Landing foundations first (eccentric strength, quality contacts), then power + rotation (progressed plyo, rotational power, capacity).
The preseason your season deserves — co-built with the instructors who live it. 2 phases × 4 weeks, 3 gym sessions/wk, tuned for professionals who arrive fit: heavy lower, eccentric quad tolerance, single-leg control — then lateral/rotational power, ski capacity intervals, and landing tolerance. When the lifts spin, Instructor In-Season takes over: two 30-40 min maintenance sessions a week built around 4-6 teaching days — because teaching load counts.
Patrol work is loaded work: toboggans, packs, patients, shovels, and long variable days on snow. 2 phases × 4 weeks, 3 gym sessions/wk — heavy hinge and carry density, grip, rotational trunk power, then eccentric quad and descent tolerance with conservative, counted plyo contacts. In-season it becomes two short maintenance sessions a week that move around 4-6 patrol days.
Small sessions that fit around the main plan.
Attach them to any program. They show up on your Train screen, count toward your weekly load, and integration rules keep them off the wrong days — a module never sabotages tomorrow’s main session.
A reset for the joints that get gummed up between sessions. Weaves into your warm-up on training days.
Anti-extension, anti-rotation, loaded carries. The trunk for big days.
Pulls, presses, rear-delt — the upper-body work most mountain programs skip.
Overhead press + horizontal pull. Cleaner, simpler upper-body day.
Durability is trained. Control is measured.
Every program loads the tissue the mountain actually taxes — calves, quads, posterior chain, the eccentric strength that pays the descent. Then a two-minute check-in about every four weeks — balance and single-leg control, no equipment — tracks whether the control is keeping up with the capacity.
Montis does not claim to prevent injury. It builds qualities associated with durability, control, and better training decisions.
The system the engine adapts.
The adaptive engine gets the attention, but what it adapts is a training system — built through ten years of clinical practice as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, 150-plus ACL rehabilitations, rehabbing and training professional skiers, and developing ski-specific exercises with ski instructors — by a mountaineer who has stood on a dozen of Montana’s highest and hardest summits, many of them solo, and keeps adding to the list each summer. The programming looks the way it does for reasons. These are the big ones.
Every session starts with about eight minutes that takes every joint through full range and clears the head before the first loaded rep. It looks like a lot. It's why the rest of the session works.
Balance, isometrics, landing quality, tempo — the qualities that make strength usable on snow and trail. This is the physical-therapy layer, and it's why the work here feels different from what you're used to.
Warm-ups, core flows, and setups engineered to cut decision fatigue and equipment shuffling. The sessions are dense on purpose — the stimulus stays, the standing around goes.
Seasons hand off to each other — ski build into base, base into a race build — and Mountain Athlete Base is the year-round home that covers strength and endurance between objectives.
Wake up knowing what today is.
A short brief lands in your morning window — 6 a.m. by default, tuned to when you actually train — and tells you what today is and why.
Yesterday’s ski tour added heavy descent load.
Today’s lower body is lighter.
Plyos removed. Trunk and posterior chain stay in.
Your wearable records the day. Montis decides what to do with it.
Strava, Apple Health, and WHOOP can tell you what happened. Montis uses that information — along with your training plan, recent lifting, outdoor load, schedule, and self-reported effort — to decide what belongs in the gym today.
It does not replace your wearable. It gives the data a job.
Runs, hikes, ski days, and descents affect the next strength decision instead of sitting in a separate activity feed.
Montis can reduce, reorder, or replace a session while preserving the purpose of the training block.
No readiness score. No hidden black box. You can see the inputs and rules behind the recommendation.
Your training history, interpreted.
Weekly load, capability across strength, engine, and mountain, and a performance journal that keeps gym and mountain life in one record.
The goal is not more data. The goal is knowing what the week did to you — and what the next session should be because of it.
Presence, not a leaderboard.
The Field shows who in your crew got out this week — who skied, who ran, who did the work. Presence over ranking. And it’s private by default: nobody sees you unless you opt in.
Early access for coaches, instructors, clubs, patrol groups, and ski organizations.
Keep coaching the sport. Hand Montis the gym work. Your athletes get the structured strength, stability, and conditioning plan you’d build yourself if you had unlimited time.
Request coach accessTraining plans usually assume real life stays out of the way.
Mountain athletes do not train in a closed system. A long descent, an unexpected ski day, poor sleep, travel, a demanding work shift, or a missed session can change what belongs next.
Montis sits between the plan and real life. It interprets what has happened, protects the purpose of the program, and gives you one clear decision for today.
The mountain is part of the training plan, not an interruption to it.
Gym work is selected and sequenced around the demands outside the gym.
Training decisions follow visible rules. Montis does not use black-box AI to invent workouts or assign opaque readiness scores.
The system reflects ten years of physical therapy and performance experience while remaining educational, practical, and honest about what the available data can support.
