Strength training is of critical importance for skiers, and especially Masters! Getting stronger, more stable, and more controlled in the gym can help improve ski technique and reduce injury risk.
In the past we have arranged partnerships with local gyms and trainers for our Masters to get together for indoor strength training.
Well…we have our own gym now! We’re excited to offer a holistic and accessible strength/fitness training class most Wednesdays at the Mansfield Nordic Community Center (MNCC).
You can join to get in some great training, learn about exercises and movements, and connect with other Masters on the same quest for strength!
Coach Adam will lead these sessions, and they will involve a mix of bodyweight and weighted exercises. With some basic movement screening techniques, we can adapt exercises and add/remove options based on individual needs.
Sessions are offered 2-3 Wednesdays per month, from 6-7:30pm. Each session is $15, or $40 for a 3-class option. All signups include gym access, strength plan, coaching oversight, and bonus resources for participants.
We will be looking to cap each training slot at 6-8 athletes for coaching and space reasons, and if we hit some of those limits the form below will be adjusted accordingly. We can be pretty flexible though!

Getting to the MNCC:
The MNCC is located on Route 2 in Jonesville (Richmond) near the intersection of Stage Road and Cochran Rd. The address is 3214 East Main St.
We now appear on Google Maps!
Look for a big, blue building on the south side of the road, with an MNC sign on the ground-level door.
There is parking for two (2) cars directly in front of the space itself, with additional spaces in the grass lot across the street.
