Learn to ice skate — Faster, Safer, smarter
At Edge Lab Sports, we’ve re-engineered how people learn to ice skate.
Instead of slow, once-a-week group classes that can take months to produce real results, we use controlled treadmill skating to compress learning into just a handful of sessions.
Most skaters reach full-stride skating in hockey skates in as few as five sessions. That’s not a typo—and it’s why our approach works.
why traditional learning programs take so long.
Typical programs:
Run once per week
Focus on large group instruction
Spend much of the lesson just staying upright
Often require multiple 5-6 week courses before confident skating begins
Progress is slow because fear, crowding, and limited repetition get int he way.
the edge lab sports difference
Accelerated Skill Development
Each 30-minute treadmill session delivers:
Continuous skating time (no traffic)
Hundreds of quality stride repetition
Immediate feedback and correction
One session often equals several hours of traditional ice lessons.
Faster Learning Through Repetition
Because the treadmill controls speed and environment:
We can isolate key skills (stride mechanics, balance, edges)
Skaters repeat movements dozens of times per minute
Muscle memory develops rapidly
This is how skaters progress in days instead of months.
Zero-Fear Learning Environment
Every skater trains on our specialized skating treadmill with:
Safety harness
Stability bar to hold onto
Controlled skating surface
This removes the fear of falling or getting hurt, allowing skaters to:
Commit fully to each stride
Try stops, edges, and transitions sooner
Learn faster by experimenting without hesitation
Confidence builds immediately.
Private & Semi-Private Instruction
1-on-1 or semi-private (max 2-skaters)
Personalized coaching every session
No distractions, no rushed instruction
Your coach is focused entirely on you.
What You Can Expect After ~5 Sessions
Most beginners can:
Skate confidently in hockey skates
Execute a full forward stride
Maintain balance without assistance
Transition smoothly on and off the ice
This is the foundation that typically takes multiple traditional courses to achieve.
Who This Is Perfect For
First-time skaters
Kids or adults intimidated by ice rinks
