Off-Ice Conditioning Grounded in Science

Revolution Performance™ and Pilates offers individualized strength and conditioning programs created to systematically coincide with your competitive season. Performing the same workout religiously can be useful for a period of time, but eventually you will plateau. You can maximize your performance when it counts while reducing risk of injury through periodization.  Periodization involves systematic adjustments to your annual workouts.  Programs are developed by a Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Pilates instructor with an extensive background in competitive and professional figure skating.

Intelligent, Efficient Training

Exercise selection and programming is based on current research and created with an understanding of biomechanics. Annual programs are developed with an emphasis on core stabilization and in a periodized format. Proper adjustment of load, duration and volume of training has been demonstrated through several studies over many years to produce superior strength, hypertrophy, flexibility and muscle performance gains.1, 2
