You have the ability to move the workouts, so you can make the program fit your lifestyle and lift to live, not the other way around.

Meet the Head Coach
Hi, I’m Morgan, owner of Ridgeline Physical Therapy and creator of Ridgeline Performance. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Functional Strength Coach, and outdoor enthusiast myself, I understand first hand the need to be outdoors, after all I did name my business after mountains. If it were up to me, I’d be on the trail every day either hiking, skiing, mountain biking, or running.
However, I have also experienced and seen the benefit of consistent, simple strength training on reducing injury, improving performance, and limiting recovery time. It doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.
I get that you don’t want to spend excessive time in the gym or be sore for your adventures. So after years of working with successful outdoor athletes to incorporate strength one-on-one, I wanted to be able to help more people like you and me. The end result is this program, Ridgeline Performance, that will allow you to include strength and mobility training in a way that fits into your life.
Let’s all lift to live.
Assistant Coach
Hi I’m Sarah! I’m so excited to be be a part of the Ridgeline Performance coaching team. I’ve been a climber for over a decade and started coaching in 2017. Strength training has made a huge difference for me and the athletes I’ve coached. I am a Certified Functional Strength Coach and am currently finishing up my final year of physical therapy school at Tufts University. You can usually find me running, biking, or paddling somewhere in the Northeast. When I’m not on a trail I love helping folks learn about their bodies, get strong and do more of what they love!

Ridgeline Performance online training is a monthly subscription of $70/month which includes weekly progressive programming, supplemental educational materials, and access to coaches for form checks, questions, and feedback. Although I recommend sticking with the program for at least 12 weeks to see progress, you may cancel the program at any time with two weeks notice if it is no longer fitting your expectations.
