ABOUT US
The mission of Five Elements Adventure Training (FEAT):
• Build fitness & resilience.
• Improve mental health.
• Deepen the appreciation for our environment.
To help achieve our mission we utilise the elements to help forge a fitter and more resilient self. Throughout our multi-layered training and micro adventures you will obtain a deeper understanding of the sites and destinations we visit. We train regularly in the South Downs national park to help develop fitness, improve mental health and garner confidence in the outdoors. Our training involves weekday fitness hikes, conditioning and multi day treks in England, Wales and Scotland.
FEAT is more than a fitness and tour company. FEAT is about embracing the adventurous path in life alongside a likeminded tribe.
