Real results from just a few of the thousands of PATHFINDER athletes.
“I contacted Amy when I decided to train for the GORUCK TOUGH event. Going alone seemed daunting. During 2021 I completed Pathfinder XP + Nutrition (Forward and Endure twice each from January thru December) to prepare for that event. I dropped about 20lbs and got very strong. Pathfinder XP + Nutrition were crucial to my success! Amy’s support really helped me focus on my short term goals and long term success!”

“This is why I do Pathfinder. Fantastic GORUCK weekend with my 16 year old, put in serious work. “As long as I’m helping someone else, it doesn’t feel that bad.” So proud of him. July 4th Light, 12 mile City Ruck and Tough”

“When I started Pathfinder XP with Amy Petersen in March of 2021, I had no idea what to expect. I knew I wanted a change, didn't want to write my programming and knew I could do better with my fitness and nutrition. So I rolled the dice and signed up. This was possibly the best decision I have ever made regarding my strength, speed, agility, and body composition.”
— Cole M,
