It’s National Roller Skating Month! Of course we’re excited to celebrate at Skate World Pasadena, where we love roller skating more than anyone else. We think you should celebrate too! Here are some reasons to start roller skating right now: 

• It’s Fun! Between quad skates and inline skates, almost 40 million people roller skate every year, and with good reason: it’s a ton of fun! Between the great music, lights, arcade games, and sensation of flying, you won’t even notice that you’re getting a workout.
• Meet New People. Broaden your social circle and your horizons by meeting people other than work colleagues or classmates. People from all walks of life enjoy roller skating; who knows what kind of awesome new friends you’ll meet?
• Nostalgia. Get together with old friends to reminisce about your younger days at the skating rink and play some fun arcade games.
• Travel in Style. Is your commute getting boring? Consider roller skating through it! Skating covers ground more quickly and with less joint impact than walking or running.
• Keep Your Mind Sharp. Learning a new skill is good for your brain. Research suggests that learning new things can even help stave off dementia. Our lessons are perfect for brand new beginners or people looking to refresh their skills. Plus, each lesson series comes with free passes to come back and practice what you’ve learned.

These are our favorite reasons, but there are so many more! Join us at Skate World Pasadena for any of our open skate hours and find out some of your favorites!

Great news, teachers! As part of our Rolling with Science STEM Program, Skate World Pasadena are now booking our STEM Field Trips. 

A Science of Skating field trip isn’t just a fun day out of the classroom, though is definitely is that. In addition to plenty of time on the skate floor, students get a 45 minute lesson on skating-related science topics. We’ll cover:

• Sir Isaac Newton
• The Three Laws of Motion
• Force, balance, and how they relate to roller skating
• The rotation and orbit of the Earth and movement of the solar system
• And more!

You can also add lunch and attractions depending on what your class needs. Educators have to be flexible, and so do we: we custom-design a price for each field trip group based on extras and the size of your group.

STEM careers are growing every day, but getting kids interested in these fields isn’t just important for their future careers. Teachers know that a well-rounded education means learning all kinds of different strategies for analyzing information. Students that are exposed to concepts in a fun, engaging way are more likely to retain an interest! There’s no better way to get your students excited about a subject than fun real-world applications, and there’s no better place to do that than at Skate World Pasadena.

It’s never too early to book field trips. Give Skate World Pasadena a call today and let’s get started planning for your group. We can’t wait to have your students learning and having fun in our skating center!

The aftermath of Hurricane Harvey has left thousands in Texas homeless and without the basic necessities for survival. Thankfully, we have seen the best of the human spirit come out in the storms’ wake. People are coming together to help their friends, family and even total strangers, but the victims of Harvey are not out of the woods yet.

At Skate World Pasadena, we wanted to give you a resource to learn about how to donate from afar, what to give and some tips for those who are on the ground in Texas.

Giving Monetary Donations after Harvey

Monetary donations are the best way to help people affected by this damaging storm, especially from a distance. If you are going to give a monetary donation, be sure to research the organization you are giving to beforehand. Organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston, Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund and United Way Relief Fund ensure your money will go straight to helping those who have lost everything.

Material Donations after Harvey

If you’d prefer to give something other than money, the folks in and around Houston are in great need of the following things:

• Diapers
• Baby formula
• Canned food
• Medical supplies
• Cleaning supplies
• Tools

You can send diapers and other infant supplies to the Texas Diaper Bank located at 5415 Bandera Road, Ste 504, San Antonio, Texas 78238.

Even a Small Donation Can Make a Big Difference

It doesn’t matter how much you have to give. During times like these, every bit counts and the people of Texas can start their long recovery from this devastating natural disaster with your help. For more information about how you can assist those affected by Hurricane Harvey, give us a call Skate World in Pasadena.

We know roller skating at Skate World Pasadena is a ton of fun. But did you know that it’s also good for you? It’s true–roller skating is great exercise! Take a look at all the health benefits of skating. 

• Cardio. When you skate at a moderate or vigorous pace, your heart has to work harder to pump blood. This exercise makes your heart stronger so it doesn’t have to work as hard the rest of the time. Not only that, but more cardio exercise means more oxygen gets to the brain. Roller skating is about the same as jogging in terms of benefits to your heart, lungs, and respiratory system, and is much easier on your joints (not to mention more fun)!
• Strength. Skating requires balance and strength, which means it works a lot of muscles. Your legs will get a great workout, but so will the muscles in your abdomen and back (also called your core). The core is important for balance and posture, and strengthening it can help prevent back pain. Your arms will even get in on the action–they aid in balance!
• Mental Health. Not only does skating benefit your body, it’s also good for your brain. Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve mood and even help with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Spending time with family and friends while listening to great music is a great mood-booster too!

Don’t know how to skate? No worries! Learning a new skill is also great for your health. Check out the skating lessons at Skate World Pasadena!
