Off-Ice Classes

Off-ice classes are designed to help improve skating specific skills and are conducted away from the ice. The classes cover basic fundamentals such as balance, agility, co-ordination, flexibility, fitness and strength and they are a great way to increase your progress on the ice, make new friends and have fun!

Classes are designed by Kelly Buddery BEM, the UK's leading off-ice specialist and iceSheffield's resident off-ice coach. Classes are led by Louisa Parker-Monks, a British Ice Skating Level 2 coach and a Level 3 Advanced Fitness Instructor. Louisa boasts a wealth of coaching experience spanning both on-ice and off-ice. Her expertise encompasses a diverse array of fitness and conditioning classes, including various Les Mills disciplines. She holds specialisation in dance, ballet, mind-body programs, and is a certified Level 3 Yoga instructor as well.

What should I wear/bring?

• Clothing suitable for exercise – shorts/leggings/t shirt etc. Your skating wear will be fine but you won’t need jumpers, coats or gloves, you will get warm!
• You MUST wear appropriate footwear e.g. trainers,  plimsolls, pumps.  No flip flops, crocs or school shoes. You will not be allowed to take part in the class if you do not have the correct footwear.
• Remove any loose jewellery
• Bring a drink and any medication required for exercise-such as inhalers
