Quick facts
About The Skating Treadmill Inc.
Operating out of 5-250 Bayview Drive in Barrie, Ontario, The Skating Treadmill Inc. was founded by Ryan Johnson in 2024 and centres its training around two specific pieces of equipment: the Woodway Skating Treadmill for stride and power skating development, and the RapidShot system for shooting mechanics and accuracy.
Sessions are delivered privately by Johnson, allowing for close technical observation and correction of both upper and lower body mechanics in a focused, one-on-one environment. The off-ice treadmill format means training is available year-round, independent of ice availability — a practical advantage for players looking to work on skating fundamentals outside of their regular ice schedule.
At least one reviewer noted meaningful improvement in their child's stride within a single 30-minute session, citing the coach's ability to identify and address specific mechanical issues without overwhelming the player.
What parents say
“My daughter was able to develop her stride more in that 30 minutes at Barrie Skating Treadmill then she had in years of other programs. The coach identified some issues in her upper and lower body and quickly addressed them in a manner that allowed her to succeed immediately without overwhelming her with information. I cannot recommend the Barrie Skating Treadmill enough. If your player is willing to put in the work the results will absolutely come.”
