Strength Training for SKiers

Feel stronger on the slopes and recover faster between runs.

Why Skiers Need Strength Training

If you’ve ever watched pro skiers train in the offseason, strength is always on the schedule. Why? Because strength training builds the foundation for better performance, improved control, and fewer injuries on the mountain.

The APX MVMT LAB was built around that same philosophy. This program blends science-backed strength work with energy system training so you can ski harder, longer, and bounce back faster. Whether you’re chasing fresh powder or getting after it on back-to-back bluebird days, this program is designed to support your goals.

Strength + Power = Smoother Runs

Tired of your quads burning halfway through a blue run? That’s where strength work comes in.

Navigating moguls, carving turns, and holding edge control all require one thing: strong, explosive legs. Inside the APX MVMT LAB, you’ll focus on building single-leg strength, glute power, and total-body control. This directly translates to better ski performance, especially on variable terrain.

Improved Mobility = Better Movement on Snow

Mobility isn’t just about stretching—it’s about being strong through a full range of motion. That’s why the warm-ups and cooldowns inside both APX MVMT LAB are designed to actively improve mobility while prepping your joints for mountain demands.

By training through controlled movement patterns with full range and intentional tempo, your muscles get stronger while also staying lengthened and more resilient. That means less stiffness, more control, and reduced risk of tweaks or pulls mid-run.

Endurance for the Slopes — and the Season

It’s not just about surviving a ski day — it’s about thriving through the entire season.

Strength training doesn’t just help you ski harder—it helps you ski longer. Our Swim and Run sessions inside APX MVMT LAB build aerobic capacity without burning you out. These lower-impact, medium-intensity sessions improve your base endurance so you can stay out longer, recover faster, and come back feeling good for tomorrow’s turns.

The Bottom Line

Strength training should make you a better skier—and that’s exactly what APX MVMT LAB is built to do. Whether you’re looking to power through powder, stay mobile for deep turns, or keep skiing strong all season long, this program has you covered.
