Most of us who have tried to pursue our passions in the mountains have endured injury and fatigue. The quad burn of early season powder turns, the ache on the inside of the knee from late season mashed potato turns. The burn on the outside of your knee during long trail runs, the sharp point in your hip flexor under the weight of your pack on your approach. MTN FIT believes consistent preventative strength training, impact resistance, mobility, balance and both anaerobic and muscle endurance can help minimize these nagging injuries that keep you out of the mountains. The best way to describe our programming is that we lift heavy, we charge hard, but we also do clamshells!

The programming is born from 20 years of continuous mountain pursuits. I have suffered injuries since my early teens when I was a runner, soccer player, and rock climber. I spent years in and out of physical therapy for various injuries before I learned that most of my problems were due to muscle imbalances developed over years of random inconsistent training and vertical pursuits. So who am I?

I’m Reed Rombough.

I’ve spent most of my life playing in the mountains. I started rock climbing when I was 15. That carried me through college where I competed in the Midwest Collegiate Climbing Series. During those years I trained climbers and took exercise science classes for fun. I moved to Salt Lake City in 2012 where I was a group fitness and personal fitness instructor at The Front for climbers, both adults and children. From there I followed the cliche path of moving into my truck bed, and later into a van. I lived on the road full time for 6 years. I climbed all over the United States and Canada, at well over 100 crags, 30 states, and carried that motivation abroad where I’ve climbed, ran, biked, skied in 20 different countries in most of the great ranges.

My passions have spread throughout the years. I went from rock climbing, to alpinism and ice climbing where I climbed 6,000 meter summits in Peru and hard summits in Patagonia. In 2023 I fulfilled a long time dream of a first ascent attempt on an unclimbed peak in Pakistan. I added backcountry skiing 8 years ago. During that time I was spending part of my winters and summers in Estes Park training both in the mountains and in the gym. Since then I have had massive days on skis in Canada, Colorado, Idaho, the PNW, and here in Utah when I was in the second party to ever ski the entire Oquirrh Ridge in a single push, the first party to do so in a day.

I spent several years ultra running, running a few 50 milers, several 50k, and a 100 miler. Mixed in with all of that training are mountain bike trips to Scotland, rock climbing trips to Mexico and Ecuador, running trips in Guatemala and all the other things I love like packrafting, river trips, and the occasional backcountry archery hunt.

This all sounds like a giant brag, which I guess it is, but more than anything, I want you to see this as my resume. I’ve got thousands and thousands of miles on these legs and shoulders and at the age of 34 every new mile seems to be a little harder to earn. Consistent strength training has become the best tool in my quiver for longevity and continuous injury free time in the mountains. I hope I can coach you to experience the same.
