Jove Club Training App · Seven days free
The training app adventure companies should have built years ago.
A personalised training plan built around your outdoor goal, your timeline, your kit, your injuries. Get strong, fit, and capable for the hills, mountains, and trails. Wherever you are in the world.
Why we built this
Most guided trips say “turn up fit.” That's it.
We looked everywhere for a training tool we could recommend to people who aren't in London. Something built around what you actually need to perform in the mountains, the aerobic base for long days, the strength for scrambling and carrying a pack, the robustness to stay uninjured across a multi-day trip.
We couldn't find one good enough. Everything out there was built for sport performance or generic gym fitness. None of it was built for the people who want to go further outside.
So we built our own.
How it works
Three steps to your plan.
01
Choose your goal
Pick your outdoor goal, a Jove trip, a trail race, a personal challenge. Add your timeline and we'll build the plan to fit it exactly.
02
Tell us about yourself
Your fitness level, training background, how many days a week you can train, your kit, and any injuries. Takes about five minutes.
03
Get your personalised plan
We build a week-by-week programme around your situation. Session by session, exercise by exercise, with a demo for every movement.
Seven days free. No card needed to see your plan.
Our minimum is 8 weeks
Meaningful fitness takes time. We won't pretend otherwise.
We don't do four-week crash courses. Real improvements in aerobic capacity, strength, and resilience take time to build, and time to show. Eight weeks is our minimum, and that's only if your goal is right around the corner. If you have more runway, use it. The training compounds, the results follow.
What you get
Built around you. Not a template.
Built for the outdoors
Trail running, hiking, scrambling, mountaineering, climbing, every plan is built around what you actually need to do out there.
Works around your life
Tell us your schedule and available kit. The plan fits around you, not the other way round.
Accounts for injuries
Dodgy knee, bad back, shoulder niggle, we work around it and keep you progressing.
Adapts every four weeks
At the end of each block, the plan evolves based on your progress. Harder, smarter, closer to your goal.
A weekly adventure to aim for
Each week we suggest an outing that fits your training, matched to where you live, with a route to follow in the mapping app you already use.
Prep, not just fitness
Weekly guidance on kit, weather, fuelling and pacing for the specific trip or challenge you are building towards.
Do it with other people
Find people near you heading out the same weekend, and connect with the rest of your Jove trip before you go.
Learn the skills too
77 short lessons on navigation, kit, weather, fuelling and what to do when a day goes wrong. Included, not an add-on.
Available anywhere
Not in London? Not a problem. The app works from anywhere in the world.
Secondary goals too
Got a 10K in autumn alongside your main trip? Tell us, we factor in taper weeks and mileage builds.
Your plan is built around your goal, your timeline and your kit.
Jove Field Skills
Fitness gets you up. Skill keeps you safe.
You can be fit enough for a mountain day and still have a miserable one, because your boots don't fit, you read the forecast wrong, or you kept going when the sensible call was to turn around. So the app teaches the other half as well.
77 lessons, four or five minutes each, written by us rather than scraped from somewhere. A new one opens every few days so it builds up alongside your training. The reference lessons, gear and first aid and what to do when something goes wrong, stay open from day one, because you need those on the day you need them.
A few of them
- Reading a mountain forecast
- Taking a bearing
- Layering that actually works
- Looking after your feet
- Navigating in poor visibility
- When to turn around
- Choosing boots without wasting money
- Moving on steep ground
- Eating and drinking on the hill
- Your first wild camp
Included in your subscription. Badges mark a completed lesson, not a formal qualification.
The long view
You can see the whole road, not just tomorrow.
Most training apps hand you a session and nothing else, so you never know whether you are on track. Yours lays out every stretch between today and your trip and what each one is for: the aerobic base first, then the intensity, then training that looks like the event itself.
It tells you where you are on that road every time you open it.
Getting it on your phone
There is nothing to download.
You will not find us in the App Store or on Google Play, and that is on purpose. Open it in your browser, add it to your home screen, and it behaves exactly like any other app on your phone. Same icon, same full screen, same notifications.
Works on whatever you own
iPhone, Android, laptop, your partner’s iPad. One account, the same plan on all of them, and nothing to install twice.
It works without signal
Add it to your home screen and your sessions are stored on the phone. The whole point is training in places with no reception, so it has to work in a valley in Snowdonia.
You always have the current version
No updates to approve, no waiting a week for a review. When we fix something or add a lesson, it is there the next time you open it.
Putting it on your home screen
iPhone
Open it in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. Worth doing: on an iPhone the daily reminder genuinely does not work until you have.
Android
Chrome offers it for you. Tap Install when it asks, or find Add to Home Screen in the menu.
You do not have to do any of this to try it. Open it in a browser and start.
Before it opened
Three months of private testing.
21 people used it for real goals from July, and what they told us is why several parts of it work the way they do. Here is what three of them said.
“I've been using the Jove Club App for a while now and I'm amazed by how personal it feels! It really tailors the training to your individual goals, energy, injuries, other training and preferences, rather than giving you a one size fits all plan.”
Lola
Tested the app through the summer
“As someone who has been testing this for the past couple of months, I can safely say I've never had such a good training app experience. The way you can tailor your weeks and workouts is incredible.”
Fran
Two months of testing
“I've been giving it a try for a couple of months, loved the Saturday long run recommendations for trails around London and the fact it's built around big Jove trips and my own personal goals!”
Alex
Two months of testing
