Travis Martell

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist

For over a decade, Travis Martell has helped hockey players become more explosive on the ice so they can increase their goal-scoring and play with more confidence. With a deep understanding of what hockey players need to boost their athleticism, rooted in proven strength and conditioning principles, he has helped his athletes become more dynamic players on the ice.

A degree in Exercise Science, along with on and off-ice experience playing both University and Professional level hockey, has allowed him to experiment with different training styles designed specifically to increase an athlete’s on-ice speed and power. His extensive experience with both the technical and practical aspects of high-performance sport sets his athletes up for success by maximizing the movements required to deliver an elite level of play. 

After 9 seasons playing professional hockey in both the US and Germany, Travis settled back into his hometown of Kelowna, BC, one of Canada’s elite hockey hubs, and dedicated himself to helping young hockey players achieve their full potential. Customized programs are at the core of his Academy – because results-based training styles are as unique as each individual athlete.

SPEED IS THE GAME CHANGER

On-ice speed is not only one of hockey’s most fundamental skill requirements but a game-defining physical quality that will give you an edge over your competition. Even the most technically-skilled players cannot reach their full potential without maximum speed.

CUSTOM HOCKEY TRAINING

After completing the initial movement screen and baseline testing, the individual program development begins. A 100% custom training plan will be designed for each player’s needs, goals, and training age. Following a customized plan will allow for maximal results.

SPEED. POWER. AGILITY

Your custom training blueprint contains a unique combination of strength, power, speed, agility, and endurance exercises that hockey players must uniquely excel at in order to succeed in their sport.

Travis is an amazing trainer and an even better person. As I have trained with him for 2 years now, one summer in person and this summer remotely, I have seen how much he truly wants each of his athletes to succeed and improve. His programs are the perfect combination of strength, power, agility, and speed training. Travis has helped me focus on training with intention and purpose so I have seen lots of growth in my strength and speed. I would recommend Travis to any athlete that wants to reach their highest potential all while having fun with it.

Top speed while skating has always been something I’ve struggled with and have never found an effective way to increase that speed by myself. By utilizing the training methods delivered to me by Travis Martell, I’ve been able to dramatically increase my top speed! I’m extremely pleased with the training plans and the communication from Travis, who is very knowledgeable about training for competitive hockey.

Travis’ training methods have made me rethink my gym training and will now give a lot more thought about my work and effort each training session.

I highly recommend Travis to anybody looking to be competitive in their sport.

Travis’s program really helped increase my strength, and speed and improve my skating. Living in a small town limits options for high-level training, so the online training with Travis was very beneficial. The video demonstrations and instructions for every workout were very clear and easy to follow and Travis was very responsive whenever I had any questions. I would highly recommend Travis as a trainer!

Our 10-year-old son has had the opportunity to try Martell Elite Fitness Remote Training app for the past year. We live in a small town and needed some off-ice hockey expertise for strength and conditioning training. Martell offers great remote training workouts that are created based on the players’ age and skill. We have noticed our son’s increase in strength, speed, and power on the ice. We have had questions and Martell is always available and very quick to reply. We are thankful to have this as an option and grateful that it is working, easy to follow, and well-designed.

Highly recommended!

– Nina, Oliver

Travis has been a huge help to me in improving my overall fitness, mainly my lower body strength and explosiveness and the results have been very noticeable on and off the ice. Living in Alberta he made my program very easy and convenient to follow on my own as he was always very quick to answer any questions I had about the program as a whole or the workout for that day. I highly recommend Travis as a trainer for anyone who wants to improve their fitness and help improve their game.

Travis helped me get faster and more agile while training with him over the summer. This has impacted my game making me faster on the ice. His workouts were challenging and still fun to do and they helped me become a better hockey player.

– Jozn, Kelowna

Travis was hands down fantastic when it came to providing a custom program for my son’s needs.

He was always available if my son had concerns or needed clarification. Not to mention the end result was very noticeable. Not only could you see he was stronger but he felt stronger as well, and his confidence on the ice was huge! All around very happy!!!
