Wild Rise is an outdoor fitness and wellness community based near Cardiff.
We combine strength training, trail running, and outdoor conditioning to help people build resilience, connection, and real-world fitness — all outside the gym.

Not at all! Every session is scalable. Whether you’re returning to fitness or already training regularly, our coaches tailor movements and pacing so you can work at your own level while progressing safely.

We offer two 8-week training blocks, each designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and train with purpose outdoors:

1️⃣ Strength + Trail Block (Full Programme)

A mix of:

• Outdoor strength & conditioning (bodyweight, functional movement, rucking, team challenges)

• Coached trail running sessions focused on technique, stamina & confidence

• Support from our coaches outside of sessions

2️⃣ Trail Running Only Block

For those who want to focus purely on running:

• Coached trail runs every week

• Technique, pacing, hills, confidence-building & progression

• Perfect for beginners and seasoned runners

Both programmes are built around community, progression, and reconnecting with nature.

Most sessions start from our base in Taffs Well just outside Cardiff.

We also make use of local trails, hills, and open spaces for a varied and exciting training environment.

Exact meeting points are confirmed with members each week via our WhatsApp community group.

Bring:

• Comfortable outdoor clothing (you will get muddy sometimes!)
  
• Trail or running shoes with good grip
  
• Water bottle
  
• A sense of adventure 💪
  

We train in almost all conditions — it’s part of the Wild Rise experience!

Extreme weather (lightning, severe storms) may result in a reschedule or adapted session, but light rain, wind, and cold are all part of building resilience.
