New Age Fitness owner Matt Odin said he is installing The Blade, a $150,000 hockey skating treadmill that is used for conditioning and skills training at his health club.

The skaters lace up actual skates, Odin said. Its a synthetic ice.

New Age Fitness is the first gym in Jamestown to offer The Blade, he said. Until now hockey players had to travel to Bismarck or Fargo to use this equipment.

There are around 200 or more hockey players of all ages in Jamestown and the surrounding area, Odin said. Younger players are learning skating fundamentals, while high school and college athletes work on conditioning, strength and endurance, he said.

Odin said he and Shane Moran, a personal trainer at New Age Fitness with a background in hockey, developed the program with consultation from coaches at the University of North Dakota.

My feeling is they (UND) have one of the best programs in the nation and so who better to take advice from, Odin said.

Skaters will be hooked onto a harness to protect themselves from falling on the treadmill, he said. Trainers observe the skaters in motion to help them later with specific conditioning tips, he said.

My interest comes from a personal training background, Odin said. If we notice a lack of balance or stability then we can work on that with the dryland training and make them stronger.

The goal is to create players who skate as strong at the end of the third period as they did in the first and second periods, he said. Endurance training, conditioning and perfecting skating technique can do that, he said.

Endurance is a huge thing, he said.

The treadmill will be available to use all year. During hockey season Odin said he hopes to conduct team training with Jamestown High School and the University of Jamestown. The 50 square feet of gliding surface makes it possible to use a stick and even shoot a puck toward a net from the treadmill, he said.

The Blade will be in operation by early June. For more information, call New Age Fitness at 952-7700 or visit the gym at 607 13th St NE No. 2.
