Learn to skate for adults

You are never too old to learn to skate! From 6 to 96 years, skating is fun!

You want to learn how to skate, but you think you might be too old to start?
Sometimes it seems that only young people can skate, but nothing could be further from the truth.
You can enjoy ice skating at all ages .

Here are some reasons why it is never too late to learn how to skate well :
 
You're joining a welcoming community!
Ice skating brings people from all walks of life together to share a common passion. When you start skating, you are welcomed into a community of skaters who want to be your friend and help you on your skating journey. Whether you're learning new skills, pursuing a big goal, or celebrating a recent achievement, they'll want to be there!
If someone in your family or circle of friends is already skating, why not join in? Ice skating is a great social activity and helps to create new memories together.
Ice skating has a positive impact on your health. Here are some benefits :
  • You burn a lot of calories without noticing, because you have so much fun.
  • You build strong leg, glute and core muscles by pushing over the ice.
  • Skating is a good cardio exercise, lowers the risk of heart disease and increases your stamina.
  • Skating is less taxing on the joints than running and other sports, making it a fairly low-impact sport that's perfect for older adults looking for an enjoyable physical activity.
Mentally stronger
In addition to the physical benefits, skating also has benefits for your mental health: you build your confidence through the new skills you learn and you relieve your stress. This will automatically make you happier.
You will forever remember the first time you glided across the ice, the wind in your face and the cold air tickling your nose. Skating is just pure fun. You feel like you are flying and you can't get the same feeling anywhere else.
