iFIT Workout From Mt. Everest Base Camp

First-Ever iFit Live Workout From Mt. Everest Base Camp | NordicTrack Blog

UPDATED, April 26, 2022

Historically seen as a once-in-a-lifetime experience accomplished by the few, Mt. Everest has become accessible to many people from their own homes around the world. The first-ever iFIT® live-streamed workout from Mt. Everest started spring at sunrise, Nepal time. Named the highest mountain of all time, Everest was given the Sanskrit name, Sagarmatha, meaning “Peak of Heaven.” Mt. Everest is the ultimate live iFIT workout location that has blown the minds of many with its spectacular views and challenging incline. Many people have never had the chance to explore this far, until now.

“A Sunrise Trek on Everest” Workout Introduces Ground-Breaking Series

“A Sunrise Trek on Everest: Live Workout” introduced the iFIT series called the “Everest: A Trek to Base Camp Series” (2).

This brief train-to-terrain hike climbs Kalla Pattar with iFIT’s Everest-experienced guides and mountaineers, Kenton Cool, Lydia Bradey, and Ang Tshering Lama, who also teach about the trail and surrounding areas. Tuning in with iFIT’s SmartAdjust™ technology allows your iFIT guide to automatically adjust your machine’s incline and decline to approximate the terrain of the Mt. Everest trail.

The end of the workout, at 18,300 feet, brings you to view the summit of Mt. Everest and the mesmerizing Himalayas at sunrise. As if the accomplishment isn’t rewarding enough, participants who completed the series between May 17 and June 30 were celebrated with a limited-edition iFIT Everest workout reward.

A user didn’t have to have an iFIT membership to do the workout either. Non-members were able to access the workout through a 30-day free trial on the iFIT app, which is available on iOS and Android.
