In 2023-4, I had the privilege of having Cherie as my mentor when I was preparing to attempt a Guinness World record for the longest run in a polar region, Antarctica.

I found Cherie to be exceptionally genuine, caring and supportive. She was not only highly dedicated, efficient and organised, but she brought a wealth of knowledge that helped me to prepare my body and mind for what was going to be the biggest run of my life.

I particularly remember the day I was training solo in a refrigerated storage container at -10°C for 4 hours. It was Cherie who made the long trek out to the depot on a Saturday and sat in the subzero temperatures to enthusiastically support me (not to mention have a laugh at frozen water bottles and jelly snakes), as well as test clothing and equipment to withstand running in the coldest desert on earth.

The times I shared with Cherie are some of my most cherished memories of the Antarctic project. As for the record, I would never have made the 1400km finish line without Cherie’s mentorship. Cherie Horne is one of a kind – a mentor with a rare mix of authenticity, care, dedication and knowledge. I would highly recommend Cherie to guide you on your health and wellbeing journey and to explore what is possible for you.

I successfully trekked to Everest Base Camp & Island Peak Base Camp under Cherie's guidance aged 66 years. Cherie provided me with very good advice on physical preparation prior to the expedition and lots of positive encouragement and practical support throughout my challenging Himalayan adventure. I hope to undertake another trek with Cherie before I hang my walking boots up.  

From the moment I met Cherie. I found that she was inspiring and passionate about life, and was on a mission to have the people around her achieve amazing results! I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with Cherie in 2007. Her health and fitness advice leading up to the trip enabled me to reach my goal of summiting the 5895m peak. The thought of what I achieved still thrills me. Cherie is a leader who brings energy and fun to the lives of the people around her. I will always be grateful for what you have helped me achieve Cherie.  

In 2008 I climbed Aconcagua in South America with Cherie. It was here where I observed first hand her strength as a mountaineer. Her determination along with, her mental and physical strength were phenomenal. Cherie has such an incredible passion for the mountains and the challenges they provide coupled with a respect for their unique peace and beauty. Cherie is a wealth of knowledge and will support, encourage and help you achieve your best from start to finish.  

Cherie has great knowledge and understanding of what is required to ensure a safe and successful expedition. She guides fantastically, provides second to none leadership that will enable you to have a 'never to be forgotten trek', I wish I was back there! What more can I say…Thank you Cherie.  

Cherie's training and advice could not have been better as I trained for my Himalayan adventure. Her first-hand knowledge was invaluable and know that I could not have done it without her. Thanks to her, I was very well prepared and, as a result, had the trip of a lifetime. She is a professional with a wealth of knowledge surrounding health and fitness!  

What can I say about Cherie…you can sum Cherie up in two words SUPER WOMAN! She makes you believe you can do anything you set your mind to and helps you all the way. She is a pocket dynamo and her passion is unwavering. If you're going to trek the only person to go with is Cherie Horne it's like having your personal trainer, your sister, friend and God she's like a super mum with you!
