Union Physical Therapy, | Seattle (Greenlake) & ATP

Series Starts: Tuesday 10/13 at 6:30PM

Led by Mitch Owens, PT 

Build Dynamic Power, Reduce Knee Injuries, and Prepare for Winter with Dryland Training.

Preparing the human body for the physical demands of winter sports requires more than generic fitness routines. The Alpine Training Project in Seattle delivers an evidence-based, 6-week pre-season ski conditioning series engineered to build strength, endurance, enhance dynamic stability, and reduce the risk of common alpine injuries.

Led by physical therapist Mitch Owens, PT, this hybrid training program combines weekly, high-energy, in-person, group circuit style HIIT workouts at Union PT with video-led workouts that you complete at home or in your gym on your own time. This program builds week over week preparing you to tackle your goals for this winter season. The workouts are scalable to your current fitness level and aspirations for your time in the mountains.

Your registration for the hybrid program includes 6 months of access to ATPs online training content that carries you through the season with in-season training and tune up workouts. Whether charging deep resort powder, carving steep groomed terrain, or setting skin tracks in the backcountry, this program provides the physiological base needed to ski harder, recover faster, and stay out longer.

Comprehensive Program Inclusions and Intended Structural Benefits

Enrolling in the Seattle pre-season conditioning series provides a complete six-month hybrid training system designed to support athletes from early autumn preparation through the conclusion of the winter season:

• Six weekly in-person group sessions featuring small-group, circuit-based conditioning led directly by Kristen Vaughan, PT, focusing on form correction, progressive overload, and movement mechanics.
• A six-month full online membership pass providing complete digital access to alpinetrainingproject.com for supplementary home workouts and in-season athletic maintenance.
• Progressive dryland on-ramping tracks tailored to resort alpine skiing and backcountry touring demands, available in high-impact and reduced-impact variations.

Instructor Profile:

Mitch Owens, PT 

Biography: Mitch has been a PT since 2004 and has owned and operated Union Physical Therapy in Seattle with his wife Elisa Owens PT since 2010. He loves spending time moving in the mountains whether it’s in the backcountry or at the resort with his family. His passion for the outdoors has led to a focus on treating and training mountain athletes. Mitch and his partners started ATP because they learned of the research on NCAA athletes that showed the right training program could reduce someone’s chances of injury significantly. The idea of applying this to skiing and giving people the ability get more enjoyment out of their time in the mountains is what inspired him to co-develop ATP with Kristen Vaughan PT and Mandie Majerus PT.
