WINTER CONDITIONING 2024

October 21 - November 21

a full body functional training program for winter adventurers

stronger all season.

SEEK’s Winter Conditioning program is designed specifically for winter adventurers — seasoned athletes and novice riders alike. With a combination of strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, functional mobility and stability work, everyone who completes this training will become a stronger and more able bodied skier/rider. Just like the gear you buy, this is an investment that improves the quality of every adventure you have in the mountains.

Participation in this training gives you access to 3 training sessions per week for 5 weeks. This includes:

  • Two weekly strength workouts

  • One weekly endurance + power workout

    Plus, included in the cost of the series is access to 2 yoga class per week.

Winter Conditioning at SEEK is led by a team of athletes and highly experienced trainers who are dedicated to helping you feel your best at your sport.

All of the strength training sessions are programmed by Madison Snarr. Madison is the lead STRENGTH trainer at SEEK and an ACSM certified personal trainer. She has 8+ years of experience training athletes and active bodies. She carefully programs this seasonal training at SEEK to be safe, progressive, and challenging for all bodies. Abby Elwart will be joining Madison to lead the strength training sessions. Abby is a passionate fitness enthusiast and mountain athlete with a holistic nutrition and physical therapy background. Cat Faye will be programming all endurance + power training sessions. Cat has been teaching cycle classes at SEEK for 5 years and has been teaching body movement in the forms of yoga, cycle, and fitness since 2013. She brings her passion for cycling together with extensive endurance training knowledge to build this element of the winter training series. As a team this group of trainers will challenge you consistently from week to week and will support you through the progression of this training.

TRAINING DETAILS

STRENGTH: 2x/week

Using dumbells, kettlebells, bosu balls, TRX straps, and resistance bands, this core element of your training will focus on building functional strength through both static and dynamic movements. Unique mobility work will also be included in these 60 minute training sessions in order to build functional strength and healthy range of motion. You will do two 60 minute strength training sessions each week. Weeks build progressively to challenge your functional capacity.

Endurance + Power: 1x/week

This portion of the training is held on our indoor cycling bikes. You will be challenged through periods of sustained output as well as high intensity intervals, using power metrics to guide your intensity and support your performance week to week. These training sessions will challenge your cardiovascular capacity, as well as your lower body strength and power, preparing you for long ascents and top to bottom rippers. Endurance + Power classes are 45 minutes and will be held on Mondays at 7:30am.

RECOVERY: 1-2x/week

Training hard only works when you recover well. Taking care of your body is non-negotiable when in a series like this. Stretching, breathwork, and the many other benefits of YOGA at SEEK are going to help build stability, balance, healthy movement patterns, and help prevent injury. Your registration for Winter Conditioning includes an additional 5 yoga classes. We encourage you to take 1 class each week. These passes expire at the end of the series, so use this great resource to help your hard working body feel good!

FAQ's

Is this appropriate for all levels?

We are here to train you to be the best athlete you can be and will include customizations and modifications to meet and challenge you. However, we recommend that you have some strength training knowledge/experience prior to participating. This is a challenging series.

How do I maintain my fitness after training?

Join us for our regular Strength and Conditioning and Cycle classes at SEEK throughout the year to maintain your strength and fitness.

Can I skip some of the components?

If you need to, yes, but we recommend you try your best to attend all classes in your training group. The strength and endurance classes are progressive, meaning each week builds on the week before it, so if you miss a week you may miss out on some form and technique that we built in the prior week. Of course, we understand that illness and other issues can arise, and we will do our best to make sure you are up to speed if the circumstances necessitate it.

Can I modify my schedule

Unfortunately we cannot customize schedules beyond the above Group A and B schedules.
