Dryland Training

Dryland Training is off ice skating specific conditioning. Our spring/summer program encompasses a wide variety of training techniques, including plyometrics, stretching, technique drills, running, inline skating, cycling, and weight programs.

Craig Pielechowski, the current 60 to 69 year, National Short Track Speedskating Co-Champion coaches our diverse program on Monday and Wednesday nights, with options for additional training opportunities. 

Monday's workouts will primarily focus on skating specific exercises and drills, while Wednesday's track session will be about speed and endurance.

While our Dryland training is short track specific, anyone (especially hockey, figure and in-line skaters as well as cyclist) looking to improve their fitness will benefit from our program.

To participate all you need to do is bring running or cross training shoes, something to drink, a towel to wipe away the sweat, and a desire to work hard and have fun.

If you would like additional information or plan on joining us please contact Craig.
