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 and/or Coach Sara 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 most Wednesdays per month, from 7-8pm. Each session is $15, or $40 for a 3-class option. All signups include gym access, strength plan, coaching oversight/leadership, movement analysis, and follow-up resources for participants.
We will be looking to cap each hour-long “session” 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. Look for a big, blue building on the south side of the road. The MNC flag will be flying!
There is only parking for two (2) cars at the space itself currently. We encourage carpooling and parking at the gravel lot at the end of Cochran Rd and walking over, or even biking from one of the parking areas on Cochran Road itself. We have a brand new bike rack right outside the door!
