What kind of surfaces can DriBlades™ off-ice training blades be used on?
DriBlades™ off-ice training blades first originated inside a small-town Saskatchewan gym. The idea was to create a product that athletes could use to build their hockey and skating specific muscles and truly train like you play.
The ideal surface is a rubber flooring similar to what can be found in 99% of all gyms across North America. Whatever your exercise routine (squats, lunges, floor touches, frankensteins, etc.) DriBlades™ off-ice training blades are perfect to incorporate into your current workout.
However, we understand you don’t always have access to rubber flooring. It is also possible for DriBlades™ off-ice training blades to be used on stability half balls, balance boards, carpeted flooring, or on a yoga/pilates mat. Keeping the DriBlades™ off-ice training blades protected is important for best results.
Non-rubberized or hard surfaces like treadmills, hardwood flooring, tiled floors, concrete floors and driveways are not recommended.
Can DriBlades™ off-ice training blades be used for players of all ages?
DriBlades™ off-ice training blades can benefit players of all ages and skill levels. Listen to your body and seek a professional opinion if you have concerns with how your body feels before, during, or after using any of our products. We advise anyone using our products to do so safely and only as they were designed to be used.
Putting on your DriBlades™ off-ice training blades during the offseason, getting comfortable in your skates year-round and simple, basic exercises can still provide great benefits and get players of all ages ready for opening night.
