Are there any fitness requirements?

While we walk and explore the location you are at, there is not a ton of physical activity so a basic level for fitness is satisfactory. Should you have any physical limitations, call us at 1.888.734.2641. to book a one-on-one private coaching session at a location that works for you!

Can I send a child under 18?
