Two Books: Adventures in Mother Nature's Gym, the Planning Guide and the Business Workbook

Take Your Gym into the Wild During These Wild Times

Sharpen your fitness skill set and expand your practice into the outdoors.

Melanie Webb, founder of Sol Fitness Adventures and WebbWell, has created the definitive guide to helping others reclaim the instinctive, wild, and essential aspect of the human experience through outdoor fitness retreats. Harness nature’s restorative impact on the body and mind and learn the practical skills required to safely lead clients into the outdoors with this timely new fitness solution.

We’ve created two tracts to help you adapt and thrive using Mother Nature’s Gym:

Attend an in-person Jump-start Workshop (Oct 24, 2020) with Melanie in Park City, Utah.

Mother Nature's Gym Certification is for You if:

Your gyms or studio has been severely impacted by COVID-19 shutdowns.
You’ve had to pivot and adapt quickly to changing economic circumstances.
You are dissatisfied training clients exclusively online.
You’re strapped by the financial limitations of hourly workouts.
You want to make a positive impact to the public health in your own community.

What Melanie Webb offers in her Adventures in Mother Nature’s Gym is a program that can help reconnect our patients and clients to an aspect of their being that is undernourished and therefore contributing to their depleted state. Melanie makes being in the outdoors fun, playful, yet pragmatic.

The philosophies and pragmatic instruction in this book certainly comport with the standard of care for musculoskeletal health. As a member of the Board of Counselors at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery, I can strongly state that if the world followed the precepts espoused in this book, fewer people would require the skills that I can offer in clinic or in the operating room.

Mother Nature's Gym Course Objectives

Think of Mother Nature’s Gym as the other half of your fitness toolkit. You already have all that you need to lead your clients in the indoor environment. Now you’ll add the missing ingredients by adding the inherent health and wellness benefits of the outdoors. Whether you plan to lead your first outdoor fitness retreat at a nearby lake, forest, or greenspace, this course will help you develop the confidence and competence to take that first step.

What You’ll Learn from this Course:

Build fitness retreats into an existing fitness or mind/body business practice with pricing strategies and partnerships with licensed outdoor recreation providers.
Mitigate risks and navigate the legalities of operating in the outdoors by acquiring the necessary level of training, and operating permits.
Plan your business strategy and secure liability insurance.
Design, plan, and lead your own outdoor fitness retreats using the Body-Weight Exercise Arsenal Library of over 40 exercises.
Combine fitness program design with guided outdoor excursions including hiking, stand up paddling, and cycling.
Harness the inherent health and wellness benefits of nature with guided observation and visualization activities.
Develop the essential skillsets of an outdoor fitness guide through built-in personal development and journaling activities.
Enhance your own connection to Mother Nature and the outdoors while helping clients relax, rejuvenate, and put their indoor fitness to the test.
Create gear lists, safety talks, and client intake forms, including specific examples for hiking, cycling, and stand up paddle excursions.
Brand, market, and sell a retreat tailored to your own clients and community.

Adventures in Mother Nature’s gym is emphasizing an incredibly important development in the fitness industry. This book changed my outlook on fitness. Melanie is so smart and in touch with the biology of how we can help advance our client’s health. I highly recommend this book to fitness professionals who are ready for innovation and integrating the benefits of nature into their practice.
