Hockey Fitness for Strength, Speed, and Longevity

Build strength that holds up in the corners. Improve speed off the line. Stay healthy all season long.

Whether you’re playing in a beer league, coaching at the rink, or training through the off-season, your body needs more than just skating drills to stay game-ready.

Why Hockey Players Need a Smarter Approach to Training

Hockey demands it all—power, balance, mobility, endurance, and the ability to recover quickly between shifts. And yet, most players focus only on skill work or cardio, missing a huge piece of the performance puzzle: the gym.

Strength and conditioning is now a non-negotiable for players who want to compete harder, skate faster, and stay injury-free across the season. That’s why APX MVMT LAB exists.

Our hockey-focused training blends functional strength, mobility exercises, power development, and recovery workouts into a weekly system built to support how hockey players move—and how they recover.

Develop Explosive Strength That Shows Up on the Ice

Hockey isn’t about slow, grinding strength—it’s about short bursts of power, balance through contact, and the ability to repeat those efforts over and over.

In the BYLD Track inside APX MVMT LAB, we train for exactly that. Think:

Trap bar deadlifts and split squats for lower-body drive
Tempo work to reinforce joint control
Explosive movement training like jumps, throws, and sled pushes to simulate the demands of skating and checking

You’ll train functional strength for hockey—developing power through the hips and core, improving acceleration and change of direction, and building resilience where it counts: ankles, knees, and hips.

This isn’t about lifting for the sake of lifting. It’s sport-specific performance designed to make you more effective every shift.

Mobility Training That Keeps You Moving Freely

Hockey is tough on the body—hips get tight, shoulders get beat up, and low backs take a hit from years of skating. That’s why mobility training for hockey is a built-in part of every APX MVMT LAB session.

From structured warm-ups and cool-downs, to controlled full-range lifts, we focus on movement quality, not just flexibility. You’ll see:

Single-leg work to develop hip stability and reduce imbalances
Anti-rotation core strength to improve trunk control
Loaded mobility to build functional range of motion where you need it most

Whether you’re recovering from past injuries or trying to prevent the next one, this approach gives you the stability and control to skate better, hit harder, and move without restriction.

Training for Injury Prevention and Longevity

The best players aren’t always the strongest—they’re the ones who stay on the ice.

That’s why APX MVMT LAB includes structured recovery workouts and aerobic conditioning through our FLOW sessions. These support your heart, joints, and nervous system without adding unnecessary fatigue.

You’ll train through different energy systems—not just max output—so your body learns to recover between shifts, games, and training sessions. You’ll also develop joint balance, muscle symmetry, and strength that reduces overuse and impact-related injuries.

We don’t just want you strong for a few months—we want you strong year after year.

Built for Hockey Players Who Want to Stay Competitive

Whether you're on a weekly rec league team, grinding through an offseason, or just want to keep your body ready for pickup games and shinny — APX MVMT LAB gives you a structured, progressive system to follow.
