Built to train jump technique and body awareness off the ice.
Originally designed in Russia, the Club’s mechanical, off-ice jump spinner replicates high-speed rotations, helping skaters perfect their balance and technique when practicing spins and double, triple, and quadruple jumps. Training on the spinner is limited to a select group of Club coaches trained in its specialized operation. Members interested in adding the spinner to their training regimen should contact their coach or the Club office for more information. The use of the spinner is restricted to Club members.
High-Altitude Training Room
The only training room of its kind in the area.
The Club’s new facility has the only dedicated, high-altitude training room in the region. By restricting the available oxygen to mimic a thin-atmosphere environment, athletes can achieve the benefits of high-altitude training without having to move to the mountains. Training at simulated high-altitude conditions the body to utilize oxygen more efficiently, increases stamina, and adds endurance for performing today’s demanding short and free skate programs. Unless otherwise authorized by Club management, use of the high-altitude training room is available only to Club members, and must be arranged and scheduled through a Club coach.
