Figure skating is a sport that puts significant strength and flexibility demands on the body. By completing an off-ice training program at least twice a week, skaters will progress their on-ice skills at a faster pace, and be able to handle the strength demands of jumping, spinning, and longer programs.
During our off-ice sessions, we work on strength and cardio, jumping techniques, balance and stretching. This is a combination of indoor and outdoor exercises, as well as specialty equipment like the harness and the motorized spinner.
Sessions are every Thursday from 3.30 to 4.30pm at Pitt Meadows Airport.
