WHY SKATERS NEED TO STRENGTH TRAIN

Jump Higher. Spin Faster. Skate Stronger.
Strength training builds the explosive power needed for higher jumps, quicker rotations, and faster, more controlled skating. Full-body strength and conditioning develops the power and stability to land jumps safely, hold strong edges, and glide with speed and precision.

Prevent Injury. Protect Your Body.
Figure skating puts stress on hips, knees, and ankles, especially with repetitive jumps and long training sessions. Strength training helps by building stronger muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones—supporting alignment, improving balance, and reducing the risk of overuse injuries. A strong body is key to staying healthy and consistent on the ice.

Build Confidence. Believe in Yourself.
Strength training isn’t about looking strong—it’s about being strong. Progress is measured against your own personal bests, not anyone else’s. Each time you lift a little more, jump a little higher, or move with better control, you gain confidence that carries directly onto the ice.
