Types of fitness skates
fitness beginner
Their purpose is to support the joints so that the skater can maintain balance and take the first steps. They can achieve moderate speed. These skates are made of plastic and fabric, lightweight yet durable. They typically have four wheels with a diameter between 80 and 90 mm.
fitness ADVANCED
Their goal is to achieve higher speed and ensure the material can withstand lateral shifts in body weight. They are made of fabric, plastic, or extra-resistant polymers and usually have three wheels with a diameter between 90 and 125 mm.
fitness pro speed
This is the professional version of high-top fitness skates. Their purpose is to transfer the force of pushes entirely and support the body weight during movement to achieve speeds over 20 miles per hour. They are made of lightweight material like carbon, resistant polymer, rigid synthetic leather, avoiding excess of elements.
