MTN FIT High Altitude Training Overview
We know time is your most precious resource, so we’ve built MTN FIT – a completely unique 8-day or 12-day performance training program conducted at high altitude for unprecedented results. Our high-octane adventure is staged at the award-winning Alila Jabal Akhdar at 2000m amongst the Al Hajar mountains, the highest point in the Arabian peninsula.
Training and sleeping at altitude is well-documented to dramatically enhance both training and recovery. Our MTN FIT High Altitude Performance Training Program allows you to realise your physical potential by delivering optimal physical conditioning, boosting your natural EPO (Erythropoietin) production and increasing your VO2 max.
Our team of internationally certified professionals have a long history of delivering outdoor experiences in the Himalayas. We accept just 8 guests per program to keep your experience personalised.

You’ll enjoy the finest international cuisine at Alila’s award-winning restaurants, with organic supplements and snacks to keep your energy levels high. There are endless options for unwinding after training, whether it’s an outdoor yoga session, luxurious treatments at the
spa, or indulgent cocktails (virgin) if you wish at sunset.
To experience Oman’s stunning natural environment, try the famous Via Ferrata trek, go rock-climbing in caves or swim in freshwater oasis. Immerse yourself in Omani culture by learning to cook a traditional barbecue, visiting the Nizwa Souk and taking in an oud musical performance.

8-day – MTN FIT program
Day 1
Welcome to Muscat, Oman’s capital! Arrive at the Muscat International Airport (MCT). Our 5* transfers will be waiting for you at the airport, upon your exit look out for the K-Line Logo that will be displayed by your driver.
Perched at 2,000m above sea level, the airport transfer to Alila Jabal Akhdar Resort takes approximately 2.5 hours. Your journey will take you from the capital city into the heart of the Al Hajar Mountain Range in Oman’s interior.
Arrive at the Alila Jabal Akhdar Resort for check-in, enjoying refreshments before settling into your room. Shortly after you’ve settled in we then take the first reading of your vitals and essential health information. This data enables us to track your personal progress throughout your fitness journey and will be repeated at intervals through the trip.
Later in the evening, join our team for your welcome dinner and briefing for the days ahead. Enjoy a good nights rest and acclimatisation at 2,000m while you sleep.
Day 2 – 7
The beginning of your MTN FIT High Altitude Training. Our tailored program caters to the individual with a moderate level of fitness all the way to professional athletes.
Our intimate group size of 8 guests allow our trainers to customise each training experienced based on the needs and capabilities of the individual guest.
With personal progression and growth being the focus of the program, our team of professional trainers will take you on a journey through acclimatisation, flexibility, strength training and cardiovascular fitness progressively challenging you each day.
Our training methods involve high-quality equipment engineered specifically for comfort and performance in the outdoors. Each coaching session is designed as a progression of the previous day’s session, building upon stamina endurance and recovery, to maximise the benefits of your training.
