Fitness Inline Training (FIT) Program
Here are comments from FIT Graduates after successfully completing their first marathon with Skater's Quest: "Basically, you took a 53-year old pudgy couch potato who had spent the previous five months at happy hours and in five months, took him from day-one on skates in a parking lot to the finish line of the Long Beach Marathon." "One of my New Year's resolutions was to skate a marathon this year, and I've done it. I've been building up to it under the patient guidance of Krista and Skater's Quest." "So, other than when I have spent money on my wife, the FIT program was the best $125 I have spent in a while." "In regards to the skaters around us in the open division, I sincerely feel like we had superior training. In fact, my most overpowering dominating thought from the race was that we had the best coach and the best training: period. Even now as I reflect back, I feel like we had a secret weapon or something. We have a huge advantage over the other skaters because of what Krista and the other instructors teach us." "When I first learned to skate 2 years ago, I never thought that I would be skating in a marathon...This has been a great experience: completing my first marathon and more importantly, receiving support from fellow SQ teammates. Thank you to the FIT trainers and mentors for training us well...My next training goal is to improve on my timing. I feel the need for speed." "I sincerely believe we had an advantage over a lot of other skaters due to our coaching, prep, and teamwork." "Our communication and preparation was awesome. There was more though. And it isn't something I couldn't necessarily put my finger on, but it was there. Unity. Confidence." "Knowing my teammate was right there...and because of the coaching, it really gave me an elevated sense of security and trust. I had so much more energy to focus on technique because I had the comfort of another Skater's Quest teammate there with me." "It appears that this paceline stuff really works. There is no way that I could have made it along the beach at that rate if I had not been in a line for most of the way, not with that wind."
