about
Cross-country skiers are amongst the fittest sport people in the world.
The benefits of rollerskiing and x-country skiing are many and varied.
Foremost it is a low-impact, aerobic and anaerobic, skilled activity suitable for all ages and all abilities.
This means: -
That it is a bit friendlier on joints than running.
It employs large muscle groups making demands on the heart and lungs to transport the blood required to deliver the oxygen and nutrients to those muscles. The heart is arguably the most important muscle to train. It is extremely high in calorific expenditure so a fabulous way to loose or maintain a healthy body weight by burning energy. It is a skill to learn and improve upon whatever your level. This makes it an interesting sport where fitness can sometimes be overridden by a better technique.
All levels means from International racing to a nice gentle ski to the next mountain hut in beautiful scenery. It can be sociable and at Skifit Brighton we creates a friendly environment to meet like minded people.
There are two key disciplines in cross country, often referred to as Nordic Skiing, those being ‘Classic’ and ‘Freestyle’ (otherwise known as Skating.) At Skifit Brighton we can teach you both.

The instructor
Thea Kittilsen Wates
I grew up in Oslo, Norway and have always been cross country skiing since I was little. I discovered roller skiing 5 years ago when a friend had seen it in our local park. After a few lessons I was encouraged to become a instructor which is something I have never regretted. When I put my roller skis on I feel more connected to my homeland and it has given me an opportunity to do something I love. Im a snowsport england level 2 instructor with first aid training and CBS check. I teach mostly classic style skiing but can also teach the skate style.
Im based in Brighton but can travel to anywhere in Sussex. If you live further away then please get in touch.
I enjoy keeping fit with hiit classes and swimming in the sea all year around.
