"My son has been wanting to improve on his skating. We’ve done power skating and watched different videos to help coach him on what he needs to improve on.
After one session at the skating treading with Ryan, our sons skating improved. Everything started to “click” for him. After a handful of sessions, his skating took a drastic turn and people started to notice a difference. His hockey stance improved, his skating got better and things started to come together for him. We decided to purchase a package, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our sons skating. Our son loves it, each time on the treadmill he is pushed to his max and making gains.
Ryan and his crew are absolutely incredible. Their knowledge and expertise have exceeded our expectations.
They have never made my son feel like he’s failed or as if he doesn’t know what he is doing. They are patient and supportive. They break things down and help build on his skills and correct him in the moment , making him understand what he is doing incorrectly and how to fix it.
Their environment is warm and welcoming. My son is greeted with fist pumps and smiles - such good vibes !
Lots of seating for the parents to sit and watch.
We have been coming here since December and our only complaint is not coming sooner. Super grateful to have found Ryan and The Skating Treadmill ! Absolute 5 stars hands down ! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"I can't say enough positive things about this hockey skating treadmill company! My son's foot speed has improved significantly, and his form has never been better. The environment is so welcoming, and he absolutely loves coming here for his sessions. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated, always providing great guidance and encouragement. It's been an amazing experience, and we’ve already seen such noticeable progress. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level!"
"Ryan is simply phenomenal! His expertise, experience, and dedication make him the best coach for young athletes. He has an incredible ability to connect with kids, understand their needs, and push them to reach their full potential. His coaching is intuitive—he knows exactly when to challenge them and when to encourage them, helping them build confidence and self-esteem along the way.
One of the things I admire most about Ryan is that he never takes shortcuts when it comes to hard work. He instills discipline, resilience, and a strong work ethic in his students, ensuring they truly earn their progress. The results speak for themselves—not only do the kids improve their skating skills, but they also develop a sense of determination and belief in themselves.
If you’re looking for top-tier training, a coach who genuinely cares, and an environment that fosters growth, Ryan and his skating treadmill are second to none. Highly recommend!"
"My son has been going to The Skating Treadmill in Barrie since it has been open. We are halfway through our second 10 credit package. The coaching that my son has received at the treadmill has been outstanding. The knowledge that the instructors have is top-notch. One thing that my son loves, is the constant verbal communication. They are consistently coaching to improve each skater. I would strongly recommend using the treadmill and their instructors knowledge to improve your child’s hockey experience. Thank you Ryan and crew at The Skating Treadmill Barrie!!!"
"Ryan and his team of experts are amazing! Our son has learned so much in just a few session. I am excited to see his progress with continuous session. We have hosted a few team events and all his staff have been wonderful with the kids. I highly recommend trying the skating treadmill clinic. 5++ stars!"
"We’ve had nothing but a great experience with our son.
From the first time we went to the skating treadmill, we have received nothing but quality training from the trainers. Our son has made incredible progress with his speed and form that’s translating well to his on ice training. The online booking system is easy to use, and communication by email has also been responded to promptly. We receive a reminder email the day before which is nice when hockey schedules can be busy!
We recommend the skating treadmill to everyone, it’s worth the drive if you’re not from the area!"
"We had an absolutely blast with our team at the skating treadmill. The players couldn’t wait to book their next session. The coaches are super helpful, informative and hands on with all of the players. Our son has us already booking more sessions. The rapid shot is an huge asset for our son’s development. We would highly recommend this experience to any team or hockey player."
"I can’t rave enough about the skating treadmill! My son (10) has been going once a week since they opened, we have noticed a huge difference in his skating stride and endurance. The instructors really take the time to see what areas need improvement and work on improving them, while providing an encouraging fun environment for the kids! Keep up the great work"
"My son has had an amazing experience at The Skating Treadmill! His skating speed, balance, and acceleration have improved significantly. The shooting sessions are excellent as well—I’ve noticed a big improvement in his shooting accuracy and shot power.
Thanks to the professional trainers who provide personalized attention, making the training both effective and enjoyable. The staff genuinely care about each athlete’s development, creating a positive and motivating environment.
My son absolutely loved the camps The Skating Treadmill runs, including PA Day and March Break camps, and enjoyed every moment there. Highly recommend for any hockey player looking to take their game to the next level!"
"My son Luke has been on a 20 week program with his good buddy and teammate since the start of the season and it has been amazing. The coaching has been extremely exceptional. The verbal coaching during the sessions and motivation has really helped Luke get better. His skating and power has improved greatly since the season began. I would highly recommend this program for the duration of a season for the best results."
"Everything from start to finish is amazing great atmosphere and my son has done it 5 times and he loves going and parents on our hockey team have commented how much he has improved his stride and power everything is great will continue to go every week"
"My 2 sons have been doing shooting/ treadmill for several months now. Ryan and his team have been amazing by always pushing the boys to improve and get better. I highly recommend this place."
"Our son has attended the treadmill sessions approximately 12 times now. Ryan and the crew are amazing and very knowledgeable. We notice a huge improvement in ours son’s stride lengths and speed already. I highly recommend them."
"My son is in competitive hockey and found the training extremely helpful. Our instructor, Brody was extremely knowledgeable and able to help my son fix his stride within a single 30 minute session.
Great experience with very professional and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get some extra training or some great cardio.
Thank you!"
"I have been bringing my 3 kids of all different abilities here since November. My kids love going. They make the instruction fun, while correcting technique. I have seen an improvement with stride and skating after going to the treadmill. The coaches are great, facility is nice and clean. Would highly recommend."
"Wish we found this place sooner! Ryan is absolutely amazing and knows how to push my son to his full potential while keeping the session fun and motivating. Ryan focuses on proper technique and endurance and I could see a big difference just in my sons first session.
The treadmill sessions are challenging but incredibly effective and Ryan's passion for the sport and dedication to the players' success keeps us coming back for more."
"My son’s hockey team did a skating clinic here and I was very impressed with how helpful the coaches were. His team really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to others."
"My 2 kids love going to the skating treadmill ages 7 and 9. It’s great practice for elite and local level players."
"My son has been training there weekly since October. Ryan and his staff are amazing. His stride now allows him to skate with power and increased speed. He loves going there."
"Our son has worked with Ryan for 3 years. We highly recommend him and the skating treadmill to anyone interested. He’s great with tons of correction and pushing our son to the next level."
