WHO IS A LOCAL LEGEND?
A MOUNTAIN ATHLETE AT ANY LEVEL
MPT trains outdoor-loving humans—from weekend hikers to pro climbers—who want to move better, stay injury-free, and thrive outside.
Whether you’re chasing personal bests or simply want to enjoy your favorite trails for decades to come, you’re in the right place.
STRENGTH WITH PURPOSE
Our clients train with intention—not for the mirror, but for what their bodies allow them to do: hike longer, ride harder, move pain-free, and keep up with life outside.
Strength here is functional, focused, and built for the mountains.
INCLUSIVE, NOT INTIMIDATING
Most Local Legends don’t come from a gym background, and that’s exactly why they come to MPT.
We offer a welcoming space where outdoor athletes of all ages, experience levels, and comfort zones can train with guidance, build confidence, and feel at home.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES
From 76-year-old marathoners to parents training for their first summit, our community is full of inspiring stories.
And every one of them started with a first step.

MPT MISSION

We’re not a traditional gym; we’re a training community built for hikers, runners, climbers, paddlers, mountain bikers, and guides who want to move well, stay injury-free, and enjoy the outdoors for life.
Whether you're a weekend warrior or a working professional in the outdoor industry, we provide expert coaching in an inclusive environment—especially for those new to strength training.
MPT is where mountain athletes come to train smarter, not harder—and build strength that lasts beyond the gym.

“Training consistently strengthened my capabilities in my kayak…”
“Training consistently at McHone elevated my overall health and fitness and strengthened my capabilities in my kayak
As a kayaker, I’m prone to tight hips and overuse injuries. Between working in an office and kayaking, I do a lot of sitting. The programming at McHone provides a balanced approach and I’m stronger and more mobile as a result. My lower back doesn’t hurt all the time, my hips are opening up, and my thoracic spine has more range.
On the water, I have more endurance to do longer days and strength to try harder moves. Training at McHone Performance Training has elevated my pursuit as a kayaker. If you’re looking for well-rounded programming that will make you stronger, more mobile, and leave you feeling more capable in your chosen activity as an athlete, this is the place to be. More importantly, I feel stronger and more capable in my everyday life. The atmosphere, the people, the programming - it’s all top-notch. They’ve cultivated a wonderful training environment.”
