Ice Skates

FIGURE SKATER FITNESS

Figure skating is a sport that puts incredible demands on the human body. Skaters are often required to hold unnatural body positions, on a less than ¼” blade and then spin around. At top speed, they throw themselves into the air, rotate and land backwards on one foot. Disciplines such as pairs, synchronized skating and theater on ice require athletes to lift their teammates over their heads while moving and rotating AND all these amazing feats happen on the ice! The sport requires an immense amount of full body strength with a strong concentration on core stability.

Book Your Class

Small class sizes ensure skaters perform exercises properly with correct form. Sport specific elements and injury prevention techniques will also be executed and participants will learn how specific exercises directly and indirectly improve athletic performance. Classes will always wrap up with guided stretching to help improve flexibility and decrease post workout muscle soreness. 

​

Group lessons are sold in seasonal Class Packs which become pro-rated as the season progresses. Make-ups* may be available for class pack participants as long as 24 hours notice prior to the absence is provided and there is space in another class. All classes must be made up during the season in which the class is missed.  

​

Walk ins may be available. Please email Mara to check if there is space.
