Skating Treadmills are empirically proven to improve on-ice performance. 

This unique training tool enables our Team to examine your skating mechanics and make appropriate adjustments to your technique, so you learn how to skate like a pro.

This is a total contrast from a traditional team practice with 15+ skaters on the ice, where there can be no focused attention on your skating mechanics, as you reinforce bad technique.

• Develop more efficient stride mechanics
• Maximize your stride length
• Master your edge control
• Improve your conditioning

Every player has different biomechanics, physiology, and movement patterns.  Our Team of Skating Instructors will identify your areas of improvement, and systematically train your body to develop breakaway speed, so you have the confidence to be a dominant player every shift.

1) VIDEO ANALYSIS:

• This is a critical tool for players, to make the connection between what your Skating Instructor identifies and what you feel with your body.  This enables you to apply micro corrections to your technique right away during your next work-set, so your can learn and practice perfect skating mechanics.

2) OUR COACHES:

• They are experts who apply sports science principles to properly target your weaknesses with the correct solution.  They have relevant university degrees and certifications, years of experiencing teaching power skating, as well playing hockey and ringette at high levels.  They know what it takes to elevate your game.

3) FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENS

• Our Skating Instructors are trained practitioners of Functional Movement Screens.  We will identify if you have any dysfunctional movement patterns or imbalances that are hindering your skating technique, and prescribe corrective exercises for you to do as homework.

• This is essential to improving as a Skater.  Your progress will be hindered if you have dysfunctional movement patterns that are not corrected.

• The Skating Lab at Altea Active is the total solution to ensure you’re developing properly as an athlete, so you can fulfill your true potential.

4) 40% MORE FRICTION THAN ICE:

• Our Skating Treadmill provides 40% more friction than ice. This characteristic will challenge your body to adapt, so by the time you return to the rink, skating on ice will be less of an effort for your reconditioned body, and you’ll feel like you’re flying out there.
