FIGURE SKATING

Figure Skating training plans, built for your goal

Figure skating is a hybrid of a power sport and an artistic endurance sport — explosive vertical rotation for jumps, then the conditioning and core control to hold edge quality and choreography for a full programme at a high heart rate. SportBlox builds your figure skating training plan around your goal, discipline and current level.

Who it's for

Who it's for

Landing bigger jumps

Explosive vertical power and rotational speed for jump progression, like double to triple.

Programme endurance and run-throughs

Conditioning to hold technical and artistic quality deep into a full programme.

Off-ice strength and flexibility base

Ballet-based core work and flexibility that support edge control and line quality.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like rotation speed on jump takeoff, holding technical quality late in a programme, landing consistency and ankle stability and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

FAQ

Figure Skating training plan FAQ

How many off-ice sessions per week are included?

Typically 4-5 off-ice sessions a week, layered around whatever on-ice coaching and freestyle sessions you already have.

Do I need ice access to follow this plan?

No — every session here is off-ice conditioning, ballet-based strength or flexibility work designed to be done at home or in a gym or studio.

Is this suitable for a beginner skater?

Yes — skill level scales the plyometric loading and rotation drills, starting with landing mechanics before progressing toward jump-specific power.

How does it fit around my coach's on-ice sessions?

Tell SportBlox your ice time and it builds off-ice strength, conditioning and flexibility around it rather than adding fatigue before a lesson.

What does off-ice dryland training look like?

Since most jump and rotation power is built off the ice, the plan leans heavily on plyometrics, ballet-based core work and flexibility training that transfers directly to jump height and landing control.

Will it help with flexibility for spins and spirals?

Yes — flag flexibility as a goal and the plan adds targeted splits, backbend and hip-mobility work alongside the strength sessions.
