Vancouver is Awesome Full Article   East Vancouver’s Rolla Skate Club offers a youthful, entertaining and enthusiastic alternative to your humdrum fitness routine Photo via: Rolla Skate Club It’s a tale as old as time. New year, same resolution to commit to working out more, eating healthier, and a 99% likelihood of inevitably giving it the old college try before calling it quits before the month is even over. Cynical? Perhaps. Still, it’s a repetitive cycle that many of us are guilty of, but not this year!  Introducing a new yet nostalgic, fun yet fitness-oriented, enjoyable and en ..read more

Hello Lovely Members, We wanted to let you know that we’re going through a breakup. Yes, that’s right – we’re saying goodbye to our scheduling software Glofox. But don’t worry – we’re on the rebound and we have already started using our new software called ZenPlanner. (You’ll recognize this name if you skated with us at The Church – yes, we’re getting back together with our ex. But they’ve changed!) This change will be made January 1. If you currently have an active Rolla membership or credit pack, we are already in the process of migrating all of your information over to the new platform, so ..read more

Our prime time classes are filling up and our waitlists are growing! This means that some members aren’t getting into the classes they want, which bums us out immensely. An even bigger bummer is when people don’t show up for classes they’ve registered for and someone on the waitlist misses out on a chance to skate. To combat this, members will be charged fees for late cancellations and no-shows. Proceeds from these fees will be donated to the Rollas Helping Rollas subsidy program. Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with our cancellation policies here. In summary: Regular Rolla membe ..read more
