Hike & Pilates

Never tried Pilates? Here’s the perfect opportunity. Our day will begin at Bent Pilates studio for a private 1 hour session.

The Pilates mat class will focus on the core. It will begin with a warm up of “Pre-Pilates” exercises to prepare your body for the more vigorous ab work. The class will then move through the Classical Pilates exercises and end with stretches to ease the muscles worked from the hike. This class will be beginner friendly, but will still be a good workout for Pilates junkies as well.

Then we will get out of town…and get our hearts pumping and senses stimulated on a gorgeous, moderate intensity 5-6 mile hike, where we will cross diverse terrain and enjoy breathtaking views. Lunch will be on the trail and we will be back in time for dinner.

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
