Martell Elite Fitness

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 utilising 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.

I have done some training with Travis the past few summers and he has been awesome to work with. He pays attention to the little things and offers individual feedback and suggestions. His positive energy and knowledge of training makes coming to the gym each day easy. Thanks Trav for all you do and always pushing me to be better!

I had participated in Travis’s programs in the past, so when I needed a hockey training regimen specific to my personal goal and budget, I reached out to Travis with the hopes he could devise a program to help me achieve this goal. He was eager and excited to help, and we got started right away. With his in-depth questions and video assessment, he was able to tailor an individual program to fit my needs.The program was administered virtually using a super easy to use app and the exercise plan was delivered weekly right to the app. Having the plan delivered on a weekly basis, allowed me the flexibility to complete my workouts around my work schedule and other commitments. The hockey specific exercises, designed to increase my foot speed and strengthen my core, were challenging and pushed me out of my comfort zone, and they certainly made me sweat!Travis was available to answer questions and fine tune the program as needed. He promptly replied to my queries, offering guidance along the way. Travis always made me feel like a valued client and was genuinely interested in seeing me succeed.It was a fantastic experience to work with Travis and to have him share his knowledge with me.Thank you Travis – I reached my goal!

I’m the head coach for the U15AAA Okanagan Rockets hockey team. We have been using Martell Elite Fitness for two years now. Our hockey team has benefited from the in season training, communication, and attention to detail that they bring. It has been largely noticeable the speed and compete we can sustain without gassing out in the 3rd or OT. I would highly recommend working in this environment as an athlete because I know our boys do!Appreciate the hard work!

Working with Travis has by far made me a better player this summer. Every time I showed up to a workout, the environment and energy was always positive. Travis gave us plenty of hard and beneficial workouts over the summer. Because I worked with Travis this year, I will be a faster and stronger player for the upcoming season.

Travis has been in my sons training space in many capacities through hockey. He is an elite hockey player who requires a coach who can speak to the dynamic and work ethic that comes with that level of playing environment. Travis’ development on and off the ice provides the tools to keep him in the shape he needs to be to perform at his best. I would highly recommend adding his training program to any athletes schedule.

My Son Evan, had a fantastic experience training with Travis. Travis worked with Evan as he was recovering from hip surgery and a knee injury. Travis was very knowledgable on what Evan needed to do, to re-hab his injuries and build strength in his injured leg. Evan training with Travis helped him return to his sports a lot quicker and with the strength he needed in his injured leg to return safely. Evan also found Travis fun to be around, he was kind, thoughtful and funny.

Working with Travis has really brought my game to the next level. The explosive training has made me a faster skater especially for my first few strides. Travis’ workout program has made me physically stronger and a more competitive hockey player. I have enjoyed my time working with Travis and I look forward to working with him in the future.

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.

After a couple of summers working with Travis, there is a noticeable change in my son’s size, strength and mobility. The in season workout routines, have helped greatly in maintaining his gains and avoiding injuries. Very appreciative of all the help and support!!
