This year's Derby Fit spins into action at Greenwood Playground this Sunday, May 8th. The Daily News writes today: "Derby Fit is an exercise class on skates that turns Greenwood Playground on Fort Hamilton Parkway into a roller derby-style training ground for a group of 20 ladies." It's for "wobbly beginners and rusty skaters to learn proper techniques for zipping around on wheels while burning lots of calories."
"'It was one of the most fun fitness classes. I hadn't been on roller skates for 15 years,' said real estate agent Jasmina Nikolov, 32, of Kensington. 'It was a really hard workout.'"
