WHAT IS RUMBLE?

Rumble at the Fort is an outdoor, hike-specific strength and conditioning programme created to help hikers, walkers and active adults prepare for the physical demands of the trail.
Since the first Rumble in August 2023, the programme has evolved through three years of coaching, experimentation and participant feedback. What began as a weekly outdoor fitness session is becoming a more structured training system with clearer progression, supporting homework and a digital Rumble Hiking Passport for participants to track their own development.
This is not a random bootcamp or a race against the person beside you.
The aim is simple:
Don’t just exercise. Train for what you want your body to be able to do.

WHAT WE TRAIN

🦶 ANKLE ENGINE

Calf and ankle strength, control and endurance for everyday walking, stairs and repeated hiking push-off.

❤️ RUMBLE ENGINE

Our signature 8-minute stair-climbing station to develop sustainable cardiovascular capacity for longer climbs.

⛰️ HILL POWER

Progressively scaled movements such as:

  • Alternating reverse lunges
  • Reverse lunge to knee drive
  • Reverse lunge to high step

These build strength, coordination and drive for slopes, stairs and bigger steps.

⚖️ TRAIL BALANCE

Single-leg stability and strength through holds, reaches, step-and-stick drills and directional movement challenges.

🦵 BRAKES

Controlled step-down variations to build lower-body strength and control for descents.
Going uphill requires an engine. Going downhill requires brakes.

📈 REFLECT & TRACK

Participants record selected scores, effort levels and reflections using the Rumble Hiking Passport.
Progress may mean:

  • completing more quality repetitions or laps
  • using better control
  • feeling more confident
  • performing the same work at a lower effort
  • progressing to a more challenging variation when ready

The comparison is always you versus your previous you.

REGISTRATION & PLACES

Rumble is capped at 20 participants so the group remains safe, manageable and meaningfully coached.

15 priority places

Reserved for:

  • Adventures Unlimited Elite Members
  • Paid and confirmed AU trip participants

Eligible priority participants continue to receive Rumble access as part of the applicable Adventures Unlimited training benefits.

5 public places

Available to members of the public.
A small programme contribution is required to confirm a public place. Payment and cancellation details will be provided during registration.
Please RSVP only if you genuinely intend to attend. We often have a waitlist, so early updates allow someone else to take the place.

WHAT TO BRING

  • Comfortable sports attire
  • Appropriate training shoes
  • An arm-length towel
  • Water bottle
  • A suitable backpack

Most participants will carry their bags during parts of the session as part of hike preparation. Please bring a backpack rather than a sling bag, and ensure that it is secure enough for brisk movement. Loaded work can be modified, and carrying a bag is not compulsory if it is unsuitable for you that day.
Please arrive at least 5 minutes early. We will start on time.

WEATHER & SAFETY

Outdoor programming may be adjusted according to heat, rain, slippery surfaces and ground conditions.
If there is heavy rain or unsafe weather, the session may be cancelled. If there is only a light drizzle, we may proceed cautiously or move to the Adventures Unlimited office for a Signature Indoor Workout, where feasible.
Safety takes priority over completing the planned programme.
Please inform Ulrica if you have an injury, medical condition or other concern relevant to safe participation.

CANCELLATIONS & LATE ARRIVALS

If you are unable to attend or expect to be late, please:

  • update your RSVP by 8pm the night before, or
  • WhatsApp Ulrica at +65 9731 8648

This gives us time to offer the place to someone on the waitlist.
