The Manitou Incline

Step up to the Challenge

The Women’s Adventure Club specializes in team fitness, bringing together women who share a passion for adventure, community, and personal growth. With expert coaching and a supportive team, we help you take on challenges like the legendary Manitou Incline—because you don’t have to do it alone.

Our Incline Training Programs are designed for all levels, whether you’re tackling the incline for the first time or looking to push your limits with our advanced Superman Challenge. No matter your speed or experience, endurance, strength, and consistency are what matter most.

What to Expect

  • Weekly Team Workouts – We meet once a week for a guided sunrise incline climb, gradually increasing intensity.
  • Strength & Conditioning – More than just climbing stairs! Build endurance and power with weights, bands, and body resistance exercises. Expect to squat, sprint, lift, laugh, and climb together—all in preparation for the challenge.
  • A World-Famous Adventure – The Manitou Incline is one of the highest stair climbs in the world, drawing adventurers from across the globe. This program ensures you’re strong, confident, and ready to take it on!
  • Supportive Team Atmosphere – We believe in encouragement over ego—no one gets left behind. With two coaches at every session, you’ll always have support.
  • Community & Accountability – Stay connected with your team through our exclusive group chat, where you’ll get motivation, training tips, and weekly check-ins.
  • A Well-Earned Celebration – After we conquer the incline, we’ll celebrate together with a post-climb team luncheon (or dinner).

You Are Strong Enough to Start

The Women’s Adventure Club is built on the belief that every woman belongs here—just as she is. You don’t need to be the fastest, the fittest, or the most experienced to take on this challenge. What matters is your willingness to show up, push yourself, and support your team.

  • Your journey is uniquely yours. Whether you take it one step at a time or power up the incline, every effort counts.
  • Strength comes in many forms. Mental toughness, perseverance, and showing up for yourself are just as important as physical endurance.
  •  You will never be alone. Our coaches and teammates are with you every step of the way, cheering you on and making sure no one gets left behind.

This isn’t just about climbing stairs—it’s about proving to yourself that you can take on big challenges, push past limits, and celebrate every victory. You are strong enough, brave enough, and ready enough to start. All you have to do is take the first step.
