Welcome to Fatpacking

Fatpacking is weight loss backpacking. We take clients on 1 and 2-week wilderness hiking vacations with the tripartite objective of:

• Altering your body composition
• Jump starting your fitness level
• Providing you an unforgettable wilderness experience

Fatpackers in Superstition Wilderness, AZ

Fatpacking provides participants a supportive environment in which slower hikers can feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. If you love the outdoors, but are a little overweight or older and prefer not to feel rushed by super-fit athletes or obsessive hi-mileage hikers, Fat Packing could work for you.

There are no austere eating programs with Fatpacking. You can and should eat all you want while backpacking. During your intense, yet relaxing long distance walk, you will carry all your food and gear on your back and

• Lose weight
• Get in shape
• Rid yourself of stress
• Increase core strength
• See beautiful remote places that cars can't access
• Make close friendships

Please note that backpacking is a rigorous activity. A moderate fitness level and consulting a physician are highly recommended before embarking upon a Fatpacking trip.

Fatpacking is a fun alternative to Boot Camps, Fat Camps, Fat Farms, and a less rigorous alternative to Outward Bound.
