On May 4, 2023, Roller Skate Detroit was featured on FOX 2 Detroit during the station’s Get Fit with Alan Longstreet segment.
The segment highlighted the Patti Bus Fitness Excursion, a Detroit-based fitness tour created by Patti Dukes that introduces participants to multiple movement experiences across the city.
During the broadcast, Patti Dukes explained how the excursion includes stops at several fitness locations throughout Detroit, including Roller Skate Detroit.
Founder Keith Walker and instructor Barbie demonstrated foundational skate fitness exercises used in the lounge’s beginner training sessions. The demonstration focused on balance, core engagement, and controlled movement and skills designed to help adults develop confidence on skates.
Walker explained that the training approach begins with simple balance work and muscle activation before progressing into full skating movement. The goal is to make skating accessible to adults who may have never skated before.
The segment also highlighted Roller Skate Detroit’s adult-only environment, a deliberate choice intended to create a comfortable space where adults can reconnect with skating through movement, music, and community.
The appearance marked one of the brand’s returning features on FOX 2 Detroit and introduced skate fitness to a broader regional audience.
