Boost On-Ice Speed

I’ve trained players at all levels

Why This Program?

.Most hockey players have the raw talent but lack the specific training to maximize their speed. The truth is, improving your skating speed takes more than just laps around the rink. It requires science-backed training, proper biomechanics, and consistent progress tracking.

That’s where the Speed Development Academy comes in. By focusing on:

  • Stride Lengthening: Unlocking the secret to longer, more powerful strides.
  • Strength & Conditioning: Building the right muscle groups for explosive acceleration.
  • Speed Mechanics: Mastering skating form and technique to optimize every movement.
  • Stride Power: Teaching the body how to increase the power during each stride
  • Stride Frequency: Learning how to maximize the rate of the strides for optimal speed. 

We’ve helped junior players get drafted into the NHL—and now we want to help your child make the next level!

Help Them Stay Ahead This Season

We’ve been working with Travis for the past month, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the impact he has had on my sons development. As a hockey-based fitness coach, Travis combines technical skills with physical conditioning in a way that keeps the kids engaged and excited about improving their game. He emphasizes proper technique within the workouts, teaches how to fuel their bodies, create good habits, and how to set short and long term goals.

The training sessions are fun yet challenging, with a perfect balance of hockey-specific drills and general fitness exercises that build strength, agility, and endurance.

It’s clear that Travis cares about the kids’ growth both as athletes and as individuals. Communication is great, and Travis is always available to answer questions or provide feedback.

Overall, I highly recommend Travis to any parent looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable hockey fitness coach for their child.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Kristan Bragg

From the first day my son and I met Travis by way of a zoom call he was fantastic. He really showed that he cared to get to know us especially my son and his style of hockey and habits. He wanted to make sure that he set up a program for my 15 year old son to achieve his hockey goals of getting faster on the ice and gaining muscle to be more stronger.

It has been close to only a month of my son working on Travis’s program and he has already started to see the benefits of the program and achieving his goals on and off the ice.

One of the great things about Travis and his program is it can be done anywhere around the world as he sends you his weekly workout plans on his Team Fitness App. Also, a few other great thing about his workout plans are each exercise comes with a video and the Team Builder App also comes with very good nutritional information. Travis is also very good at making himself accessible to answer any questions that you may have about his program.

If you are considering hiring a hockey workout instructor for your kids I would highly recommend Travis Martell as you will not regret it.

I have also hired Travis Martell to work with the hockey teams that I’ve coached in the past to make sure they received age-appropriate training for their various age groups. There is no one more committed to making sure young athletes learn proper technique and form. He also has a great way of communicating and teaching the younger athletes, so they understand why they are doing the various exercises. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and educated who focuses on injury prevention and age-appropriate training, Martell Elite Fitness is the best that I have seen out there. I’m a huge fan of Travis and his team of professionals and feel there is no one better to train your young athlete.

Our son wanted to improve his first three steps and his speed on the ice. We signed up for the Remote Speed Development Program as we were going away for part of the summer. With the remote program, our son was able to complete the program as we travelled. When he returned to the ice, a number of people commented that they noticed a difference in his speed, and most importantly our son felt the difference himself! Travis has the program set up well and is always there for support!

Prevent Injury and Build Long-Term Skills

One of the biggest issues we focus on with our training is ensuring that each hockey that we work with is not just performing well today, but that they’re set up for long-term success. Poor skating mechanics, un-balanced training programs, and incorrect form can lead to injuries that can derail a player’s development. Our program emphasizes:

Injury Prevention: By improving biomechanics and appropriate strength, we help reduce the risk of common skating-related injuries like groin pulls, knee issues, and hip problems.

Long-Term Development: We teach each player that works with us the correct form and technique through video tutorials which helps to build habits that will benefit them throughout their hockey career. No quick fixes, just sustainable progress.
