Fitness Schedules

Welcome to the Whistler Mountain Ski Club’s Dryland Training Schedule page. Dryland training is an essential part of ski racing which helps develop agility, balance, speed, strength, and aerobic capacity. The training sessions are fun, challenging, and always changing. Attendance is strongly encouraged.

Group Dryland Schedule for May 1- forward:
Whistler Workouts:
Tuesdays and Thursdays, Club Cabin gym 3:30 - 5:00PM. Open to all athletes. Workouts will vary from weights to circuits to running. We'll ensure age appropriate workouts are available for all participants.
Vancouver Workouts: There are no WMSC organized sessions in Vancouver at this point. We strongly encourage participation in school sports, other cross training sports (gymnastics, ball sports, mt. & road biking, martial arts, etc) or utilizing any of our posted workouts. These can be done alone or perferably with a partner to challenge each other.
Joining a gym with instructors to keep an eye on your technique is also highly recommended.
Some recommendations for good gyms where some other club members workout are as follows. If you have any suggestions or further recommendations please send them to Rob Boyd (rob@wmsc.info) and we will post them as well.
