Common Skater Qs 💭

Can adults learn to ice skate?

Absolutely! It’s never too late to start skating. Many adults begin in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond — and fall in love with the sport.

What should I wear to adult skating lessons?

We recommend leggings or athletic pants, layered tops, and a jacket or hoodie. Gloves and tall socks are helpful, too. AST makes apparel specifically for adult skaters!

Do I need my own skates to start?

Not at first! Most rinks rent skates. Once you're hooked, you can invest in figure skates that match your goals and budget.

Are there competitions or classes for adult skaters?

Yes! Many clubs offer adult-only group classes and competitions through organizations like U.S. Figure Skating.

Is figure skating a good workout for adults?

Skating improves balance, coordination, strength, and endurance — and it's fun too!

How do I find adult skating classes near me?

Search your local rink’s website or contact them directly for adult learn-to-skate programs.

What skates are best for adult beginners?

Brands like Jackson, Riedell, and Edea offer supportive boots. Visit a skate shop for fitting advice.

What should I bring to my first skating class?

Wear warm layers, bring gloves, tall socks, and water. If you have skates, bring them too!
